FT 1-1 #Belgium - #Egypt
A very entertaining match with two teams playing for the win. In the second half, Belgium had a bit more possession, Egypt became particularly dangerous on the counter-attack. Both teams created enough chances for another goal, but a draw is deserved
HT #Belgium 0-1 #Egypt
Both teams want to push forward quickly when they win the ball. The choices made in possession are not always the right ones, but the intensity and physical duels make it interesting. The Belgians came close to equalizing a few times just before half-time
A bad start to the tournament for Spain. Lack of energy and inspiration until Lamine Yamal came onto the pitch. Luis de la Fuente will have to think carefully about other players in certain positions.

FT #Spain 0-0 #CapeVerde.
A historic moment for Cape Verde. They secured a point in their very first World Cup match ever. Offensively, they created nothing except for a header from a corner. But the way they defend with passion deserves praise. An unforgettable evening for them
HT #Spain 0-0 #CapeVerde.
A surprising scoreline at half-time. Ofcourse, Spain is much better and had three very good chances in the last 10 minutes. Cape Verde hardly gets out of their own half anymore. Thanks to a good goalkeeper and a bit of luck, they are still in the game.
25 minutes played, Spain is in control with 70% possession but they haven't created any big chances from it. Cape Verde defends well and keeps the spaces tight.
#SPAIN#CAPEVERDE#ESPCV
This is Cape Verde's first participation in a World Cup. Qualification was secured in October 2025 with a 3-0 victory over Eswatini. Do you think Cape Verde stands any chance of surviving the group stage? Let me know.

๐จ๐ฏ๐ต ๐ก๐๐ช: This is how Japan left their dressing room behind.
In Japan itโs tradition to clean everything all the time no matter where you are, for them it means mindfulness, organization, and respect.
Japan made optimal use of this and deserved the equalizer. They showed a lot of intensity and, at times, displayed good combination play. The substitutions were also made with the intention of going for a goal.
FT The #Netherlands 2-2 #Japan
A entertaining second half. First 30 minutes, the Netherlands got De Jong on the ball more during build-up play from midfield. Japan had no answer to this, until Koeman decided to substitute Malen and Summerville for Memphis and Koopmeiners 1/3
