Spain v Saudi Arabia is the World Cup’s only group-stage match where two peninsula giants are ruled from inland capital cities that sit around the 620m (2,030ft) countour.

Madrid sits on the Meseta; Riyadh sits on the Najd, with both almost exactly the same height.

Scotland v Morocco is the World Cup's only group-stage match where both sides' national animals are impossible to see in the wild.

Scotland's national animal is the mythical unicorn. Morocco's is the Barbary lion, which is now extinct in the wild.

Come on, Scotland! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Germany v Ivory Coast is the World Cup group-stage match between the world’s biggest cocoa exporter and the world’s biggest chocolate exporter.

Ivory Coast grows more cocoa than any country on Earth by far. Germany exported more chocolate than any other country in 2024.

News24 Sunday reports that illegal filling of LPG cylinders is widespread with rogue refillers now controlling more than a 1/4 of the SA market. Illegal refillers don’t inspect cylinders and have them in circulation longer than they should be, making those cylinders dangerous.

Turkey v Paraguay is the World Cup’s only group-stage match where both countries saw a major landmark disappear under a hydroelectric reservoir.

Turkey lost the ancient city of Hasankeyf to the Ilısu Dam. Paraguay’s border lost Guaíra/Sete Quedas Falls to the Itaipu reservoir.

People say it’s the vibes, style of football or iconic celebrations that define African football. But I can assure you this is the real sign that the AFCON has arrived at the World Cup.

USMNT playing like 2015-ish Tottenham. Fair enough.

Incredible job title

What I can’t seem to understand is how he wasted Belgium. Seems to be a popular opinion.

Third place in the World Cup doesn’t sound like waste to me. They literally got knocked out by France. In Euro 2020, they got knocked out by the eventual champions Italy too.

Czechia 1-1 South Africa momentum plot | #FIFAWorldCup

Czechia scored early and called it a day. South Africa dominated with the ball and has a big resurgence in the second half (esp. post hydration break) and scored the equalizer.

Btw, 8/11 of players that started the match today, are SuperSport United Alumni.

[Roger Bonet "Ruxi" @Ruxiiii4]

The difference in chance creation between Czech Republic and South Africa today was very representative of their attacking styles.

I found it quite funny to see South African players trying to shoot from 30 metres so many times.
