90+1' HEARTBREAK

Stephen Eustaquio’s 90th-minute winner sent Canada into Round of 16 and broke South African hearts in dramatic fashion.

South Africa gave it everything. One moment.Everything changed. Game over.

Brutal.Beautiful. Football.

How far can Canada go from here?

The money has spoken.

France (23%) and Argentina (21%) are the World Cup favorites, pulling HALF the betting market.

Messi (38%) vs Mbappé (26%) for the Golden Boot.

But World Cups rarely follow the script.

One upset, One red card, everything changes.

Are the bettors right?

Africa Came to the World Cup & Stayed

9 out of 10 teams are through to Round of 32

Here’s who’s through:

🇩🇿 Algeria
🇨🇻 Cape Verde
🇨🇩 DR Congo
🇪🇬 Egypt
🇬🇭 Ghana
🇨🇮 Ivory Coast
🇲🇦 Morocco
🇸🇳 Senegal
🇿🇦 South Africa

Which African nation has the best chance of going all the way?

[Sports Lounge @SportsLoungeApp]

Three teams. Nine matches. Zero mistakes.

Only three nations finished the FIFA World Cup group stage with a perfect record:

Argentina — 3/3 wins
France — 3/3 wins
Mexico — 3/3 wins

The knockout rounds are here

Which of these unbeaten teams looks most likely to go all the way?

[Sports Lounge @SportsLoungeApp]

Two unbeaten giants cancel each other

90 mins.
No goals
No shortage of drama.

Ronaldo, Díaz, Fernandes, Muñoz all had their moments, but neither side could find the breakthrough.

A tactical masterclass or a frustrating stalemate?

Who deserved to win? Colombia or Portugal?

[Sports Lounge @SportsLoungeApp]

England mean business

Jude Bellingham opened the door.
Harry Kane slammed it shut

England’s unbeaten run continues

For Panama Conceded 9 straight matches. 3 games without a win. The defensive issues just won’t go away

Is this England squad good enough to finally end the wait?

[Sports Lounge @SportsLoungeApp]

Croatia got the job done!

Ghana pushed them all the way, but Croatia held their nerve to secure a victory.

Meanwhile,Ghana left with plenty of positives despite the defeat after a hard-fought performance.

Can Croatia make a deep run, or will their defense eventually cost them?

[Sports Lounge @SportsLoungeApp]

Fast start, frustrating finish

Egypt struck first but Iran fought back

Both teams stay difficult to beat

Egypt fans: Is this defense good enough to win Group G, or is Salah carrying this team alone?

Iran fans: Happy with the comeback or should your team have taken all three?

[Sports Lounge @SportsLoungeApp]

One moment of quality was all it took.

Alex Baena strikes before halftime & Spain made it 12 matches unbeaten

Uruguay can’t catch a break. 4 straight draws and now a defeat.

Is Spain the team to beat at this World Cup right now, or do you think a tougher test is still coming?

[Sports Lounge @SportsLoungeApp]

France send a statement…

Dembélé stole the show with a hat-trick as France powered past Norway 4-1 in a huge clash.

Norway came in unbeaten in five, but France’s firepower proved too much.

Haaland & Ødegaard couldn’t stop the firepower.

Can Norway bounce back?

[Sports Lounge @SportsLoungeApp]

SENEGAL RESPOND IN STYLE!

After 4 games without a win, the Lions of Teranga roared with a statement performance!

A dominant display when it mattered most. Senegal fans,was this the performance you’ve been waiting for?

Can Senegal build on this & make a serious World Cup run?

[Sports Lounge @SportsLoungeApp]

What a World Cup thriller!

USA struck first after just 3 mins, but Turkey refused to fold. They fought back with 3 goals to flip the game b4 surviving a late scare to claim all 3 points

This is exactly why we love the World Cup -momentum swings,drama,and 90 mins of pure chaos

[Sports Lounge @SportsLoungeApp]

WHAT. A. COMEBACK.

Germany scored after just 2 minutes… but Ecuador refused to fold.

A stunning 2-1 turnaround ends Germany’s 11-match winning streak and throws Group E wide open.

Big question:

Was this Ecuador’s brilliance… or did Germany throw the game away?

[Sports Lounge @SportsLoungeApp]

Pépé delivers. Twice.

Côte d’Ivoire bounce back in style with a 2-0 win over Curaçao thanks to a Nicolas Pépé brace.

After the disappointment against Germany, the Elephants responded exactly how champions do.

Can the Elephants build on this and make a deep World Cup run?

[Sports Lounge @SportsLoungeApp]

One goal. Three points

Thapelo Maseko’s strike was all Bafana Bafana needed to keep their World Cup hopes alive.

Was this South Africa’s biggest World Cup statement so far? Or was this just one good day against a leaky Korean defence?

Can Bafana Bafana make a deep run?

[Sports Lounge @SportsLoungeApp]

Morocco made it 2 wins from 2…but not without drama

Haiti struck first with an early own goal, but the Atlas Lions roared back to claim a 4-2 victory

Was Morocco’s comeback a statement of championship mentality, or did their defense show cracks that stronger teams will punish?

[Sports Lounge @SportsLoungeApp]

Colombia keeps rolling..

Daniel Muñoz stepped up in the 76th min and delivered when Colombia needed it most.

DR Congo fought hard & kept Colombia frustrated but one chance was all it took to separate the sides.

Was Colombia impressive or did Congo deserve more from the game?

[Sports Lounge @SportsLoungeApp]

A battle of defenses ends goalless!

No goals. Plenty of tension

England’s attack couldn’t find a way through, while Ghana earned a hard-fought clean sheet on the world stage.

Was this England dropping points or Ghana's defensive masterclass?

[Sports Lounge @SportsLoungeApp]

Cristiano Ronaldo needed 6 minutes to score. He wasn't done.

Portugal cruise 5-0. Unbeaten in 6 straight matches. Looking dangerous.

Portugal just reminded everyone why you never write off Ronaldo on the big stage.

Can this Portugal team finally go all the way?

[Sports Lounge @SportsLoungeApp]

Norway edge Senegal 3-2 in a World Cup thriller!

Haaland and Norway made it back-to-back World Cup wins.

Senegal fought until the final whistle but came up short

Norway are unbeaten in 4 matches, but can they keep winning while conceding goals?

How far can Norway go?
