South Africa lost to Canada 1-0. The teams were evenly matched, and SA had a slight possession advantage. Canada found a way to score during the last few moments the game and is moving onto the round of 16.
9/10 African nations at the 2026 World Cup have advanced to the knockouts.

Unbelievable that the round of 32 is set with 9 out of 10 African countries still in the tournament. Algeria, Cabo Verde, Cรดrte d'Ivoire, DR Congo, Egypt, Ghana, Morocco, Senegal, and South Africa. Unfortunately Tunisia did not qualify to move on. There's a lot of talent there.
What a comeback for the DRC Leopards to win over Uzbekistan! I thought there was no hope for the Leopards to win this game and they emerged from the dead to beat Uzbekistan 3-1 and quality for the next round of 32 teams in this tournament. Great effort.

This is a tough 3-2 loss for USA against Tรผrkiye. They started the match so well only to lose in the final moments. Even though the game doesn't change overall standings for the next round, it is heartbreaking and will only get tougher going forward.

Brazil's performance us always really the benchmark of good football and Scotland did not have good answers. Also, simple mistakes cost them the game. The crowd really got excited when Brazil's superstar Neymar came in. Perhaps it is his last World Cup?

What a performance by Argentina today! They played really well against Australia and won 2-0. Leonel Messi was the star of the show despite missing the first chance at scoring a penalty kick, likely his last World Cup tournament & its been great to watch.

Egyptian Pharaoh's performance beating New Zealand 3-1 was very surprising. I thought that New Zealand was going to overrun the Pharaohs. Egypt had good defense and the offense was in high gear led by Mohamed Salah. We'll see how they perform against Iran.

That was an amazing opener for Leon Messi. Three goals in one match! If this us his final World Cup, he is really making it count. Good luck during the tournament.

Congrats to Paris Saint Germain for winning the Championship League finale over Arsenal by penalty shootout 4-3. The match ended with 1-1 draw at the end of extra time. I was surprised that 11th seed PSG came back all the way to beat the 1 seeded Arsenal.

Michael Carrick really deserves to be Manchester United manager after turning the team's performance around this season. He steadied the ship after a disastrous 24-25 and 1/2 of 25-26 season. Fans really enjoyed the 3-0 season finale win over Brighton.

What an incredible final between Barcelona and OL Lyonne! Barcelona smashed Lyonne 4-0 with two goals from Pajor and two goals from Paralluelo. Lyonne had momentum in 1st half and it was all Barcelona in the 2nd half. Lyonne really had no answers and lost.

Sad that my team, Bayern Munich, lost in the semi finals to Paris Saint-Germaine. I thought the referee could have made better decisions in the second leg that would have given BM a second chance. However, Bayern could have played better during the game.

What a semi-final leg 1 matchup between Paris Saint-Germaine and Bayern Munich! High score game and very entertaining. It was hard to predict which team would prevail but PSG had home field advantage and won, barely. Im sure leg 2 will be entertaining too.

What an entertaining match between two of my favorite teams competing in this UEFA Championships League quarter finals! Two legs and Bayern Munich comes out ahead 6-4 against Real Madrid. They will face Paris Saint-Germaine in the semi finals.
