Gabriel Martinelli scored the winner and Gabriel Magalhaes provided the assist for the first goal to help Brazil come from behind to beat Japan in the round-of-32 at the 2026 World Cup.
The Arsenal boys have done it again. 🇧🇷
🚨 Wayne Rooney on Declan Rice's set-pieces that inspired England's 4-2 victory:
🗣️ “For the whole of last season, people mocked Arsenal's set-pieces. They called them boring, said they were ruining football and claimed they could never win the biggest trophies playing that way.
Now look at England.
Declan Rice is delivering those same quality dead balls and they've played a huge part in a 4-2 win.
I've watched this World Cup closely and one thing stands out: Arsenal players have consistently produced dangerous set-pieces, with several leading directly to goals.
Maybe the issue was never the set-pieces.
Maybe people were simply frustrated because their own teams didn't have players capable of executing them at that level.
Football fans love effective set-pieces when they're winning games. They only complain when someone else is better at them.”

🗣️"There were a lot of jokes, people made fun of us. Even when we were top of the league, they were saying that at some point we were going to bottle it and drop back to second place. That's football banter, it's like that. If you want to change that, you just have to win.""Now that we've won it, they can't say anything anymore.""The first season I arrived, we were playing incredible football. That was the season where I said we deserved the title."
🗣️"As usual, people made fun of us — we finished second. The second season too, we were playing good football, finished second. People made fun of us, they said 'bottle, bottle...'""Last season too, we were playing pretty well, even if we weren't playing as well as the first two seasons — we still finished second.""This season, even if I don't agree with everything they say, as if there was only one team that was playing... Well, we're playing football. Except it's true that sometimes we score a lot more from set pieces. That was crazy. Now you see, in the Premier League, everyone does long throw-ins, everyone focuses on corners — it's not just us. We just do it better than the others. So, that's life, and we're going to continue like this."
