But I have to say Spain were very underwhelming and bang average despite dominating Cape Verde early on this evening credit to Cape Verde they defended fantastically v a quality Spanish Team
1st look of Uruguay 🇺🇾 in this 2026 Mens @FIFAWorldCup v Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦 who will be hosting the tournament 8 and a half years from now could be interesting if lightning delays the game or not
The day Spain 🇪🇸 begin their quest for a 2nd Mens @FIFAWorldCup they should comfortably beat Cape Verde later at 5pm on ITV then a huge game at 8pm between Belgium 🇧🇪 and Egypt 🇪🇬 on the Beeb
Fabulous result for @ScotlandNT they played their socks off this morning 🌄 v Haiti should be enough for the Knockout Phase think they will be in the Last 32
Good to hear BBC Scotland Lead Commentators Liam Mcleod and James Mcfadden covering the @ScotlandNT Games for the rest of us on the Beeb 1 of the best commentary duo in Scottish Football
Part of a big night of @FIFAWorldCup Group Stage Action which also sees Brazil in action v Morocco at 11pm and before then at 8pm the last hosts Qatar playing Switzerland
Big overnight for @ScotlandNT their 1st @FIFAWorldCup Game since 1998 will stay up and watch the Haiti game which is a 2am Kickoff our time as a English Man I wish Steve Clarke & his team the best of luck early hours of tomorrow morning hope they can get a win from the off

Certainly the most controversial ever 48 Teams 104 Games over the next 5 and a half weeks let the 2026 @FIFAWorldCup in North America begin with Mexico 🇲🇽 v South Africa 🇿🇦 at 8pm on ITV
Two different budgets for the FIFA World Cup 2026!
Two studios
ITV= New York Skyline- whole production team out their for Six Weeks
BBC= Virtual Reality studio in Salford
Really dissapointing from the BBC😬
I feel for the BBC having to cover up to at least the Last 16 or Quarter Finals from Salford think this will be the way forward now with the Beeb flying out from the Last 8 to the Final but ITV view is amazing
As ITV unveil there super-snazzy Brooklyn studio for the World Cup I do feel a bit for the BBC who will broadcasting games back in Salford.
The location will have cost ITV a fortune and the BBC can’t win… if they go then there is criticism every day about the cost and, if they don’t go, they get hammered for staying at home.
Must feel very distant at the moment though.
