1/9

I have seen Manchester United win a treble in 2008. I was too young to remember experiencing the same in 1999, but I have faint memories of my uncle watching the Champions League final on TV.

As bad as US are hosting this world cup, the grand old competition is warming up just right. excellent run of games as we near the close of the first round. #FIFA #WorldCup2026

Messi hattrick. Clean sheet. Clinical 3-0 win. Dream start to Argentina’s title defense. We’ll see how it goes from here. #WorldCup2026 #Messi

Iran was ordered to leave the U.S. and return to Mexico directly after their first match of the World Cup.

The team had expected to spend the night in California, but was told after their match that everyone must immediately get on a plane for the 140-mile trip back to Tijuana, Mexico.

Coach Amir Ghalenoei says the team was ordered to leave the U.S. but did not say why or who ordered them to leave earlier than planned.

"I think our team is perhaps the most oppressed in the World Cup."

Can’t wait to lead our team out at another World Cup! Excited to get on the pitch tomorrow with the boys! I know we’ll have incredible support out here and at home! We will give everything we’ve got! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🦁

This world cup is throwing up some enthralling contests. What a game this, Norway v Iraq. Haaland poaching abilities aside, Iraq are proving to be more than a handful. Want to sleep but how to not watch the second half. top quality football on display last game and this one.

Joe Root is asked on whether there is a drinking culture amongst the England squad and whether or not there should be an alcohol ban 💬

[Sky Sports Football @SkyFootball]

BREAKING: Tino Livramento has suffered a hamstring injury and is out of the World Cup, with Trevoh Chalobah being called up to replace him 🚨🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

[The Wall Street Journal @WSJ]

Soccer has always been defined by free-flowing, unbroken action. But for the World Cup in America, FIFA is using “hydration breaks” to shoehorn in commercials. https://t.co/qFOFyiZhYd

@JacobsBen travesty of the highest order.. this is criminal. Well we see this in India quite often these days.. a certain icc chief lifting trophies with the team.

@Iran_in_India only sport can.

[Iran in India @Iran_in_India]

A moment of pride and honor as the flag of the Islamic Republic of Iran made its majestic entrance onto the world stage of the 2026 FIFA World Cup in the United States.

@ZEE5India Mailed details. Please get it sorted asap, this is ridiculous

[Debayan Mukherjee @debayansays]

What’s with watching the games on a laptop, @ZEE5India . The media player never seems to work on any browser. I am on a 799 plan with office colleagues and even after logging out from my phone and logging in to my laptop, it doesn’t work. What a joke!

@nytimes @TheAthleticFC What a story

[The New York Times @nytimes]

From @TheAthleticFC: Cape Verde’s Vozinha says U.S. visa issues stopped his mother from witnessing his World Cup heroics in person. The 40-year-old goalkeeper was visibly emotional on the pitch after the game. https://t.co/754zUIylGZ

[The New York Times @nytimes]

From @TheAthleticFC: The most famous goalless draw in World Cup history.

Cape Verde, a chain of 10 islands off the coast of West Africa with a population of 529,000, has held the European champions and favourites Spain in Atlanta. https://t.co/EYVhuJgPnS
