A 3-1 win for the Netherlands over Tunisia secures them top spot in Group F

Japan, in drawing their match with Sweden 1 all, have qualified for the Round of 32!

Round of 32 qualification means a HUGE payday awaits for Aussie football
(Reach the round of 16 and that figure will rise to $21 million AUD)

Le Coq (France) have to be the clear favourites now to take the World Cup home.

What an impressive win against Norway, despite taking their foot off the pedal in the second half.

It's B/S that Germany and France can meet in the round or 16 that's a easy a round 8 game if not a semi final horrible draw

Yeah, they need an American or South American team to be there. That's just how the groups have been created.

It looks perfectly primed for a Mexico v US quarter final game.

I'm crossing my fingers and toes that we make it into the round of 16 and once again upset one of the football juggernauts, but I'm not confident after yesterday's performance.

A stellar performance in Boston to top Group where France defeated Norway 4-1
Dembélé's hat-trick⚽⚽⚽
Doué's goal ⚽
Barcola's assist 🎯

Senegal secure their first win of #FIFAWorldCup 2026, defeating Iraq 5 nil.
The Teranga Lions are on fire 🔥

 

[Speed2burn]

There’s a small chance we can play New Zealand. Egypt need to beat Iran and NZ need to beat Belgium

Any idea where that would be played?
Imagine the pressure on the ref...ole uncle Donald watching closely

People have figured out why Norway rested 10 players vs France and it's a stroke of World Cup geniun

Norway manager Ståle Solbakken left Erling Haaland and Martin Ødegaard out of the Group I clash

Crazy how much these players are allowed to whinge and complain to the referees … the ref in the Uruguay v Spain game got shoved after he stuck his arm out trying to stop a melee

 

[tiger_one]

A landmark moment for Cape Verde

They have reached the knockout stages of the World Cup for the first time on their tournament debut.
A draw with Saudi Arabia, combined with Uruguay's defeat by Spain, was enough to send them through.

I don't think that's true, unless Haaland counts as five players. Both teams rested five key players as they would get through regardless of the result. The key difference was that Mbappé played, while Haaland didn't.

Regardless, France look like a much stronger side than Norway, Germany, Brazil and Argentina.

 

[upthetigers]

Iran are looking very impressive, strong physical team
