NRG Stadium, home of the Houston Texans, sits in a city known as “Space City”, which feels fitting for a game where both teams were trying to find a bit more lift than they managed in their opening matches. Over 72,000 were inside the ground, over two million across the city, and somehow still enough room to fit San Francisco, Boston and New York inside it by area. Space, everywhere. On the pitch, though, there was likely to be less o

Canada moved to the top of Group B after a professional 6-0 thrashing of the Asian Cup champions Qatar, hitting six without reply in an action-packed encounter in Vancouver. Cyle Larin poked the hosts ahead early in the first half and, from that point on, the floodgates opened and showed no sign of closing. Juventus striker Jonathan David scored a first-half brace after Homam El Amin was sent off. Qatar felt the full force of Canada in the second period as Nathan Saliba conve

Mexico became the first country to progress to the knockout stage of the 2026 FIFA World Cup as they edged past South Korea in Guadalajara. After a dull first half, El Tri took the lead shortly after the restart when a goalkeeping error allowed veteran Luis Romo to poke home for the hosts. A last-gasp save from Raúl Rangel secured the victory and booked Mexico’s place in the Round of 32, where they will play in Mexico City. Mexico Become the First Country to Qualify for the K
