KANSAS CITY, Missouri, June 20 : Curacao goalkeeper Eloy Room needed two minutes to make one of the World Cup's most impressive saves so far, stopping Ecuador forward Enner Valencia from close range and setting the tone for a career-defining performance that created history on Saturday.
VANCOUVER: Egypt striker Hamza Abdelkarim is just 18 and one of the youngest players at the World Cup, but he’s handling soccer’s biggest stage as a seasoned professional. The 6-footer is one of 22 teenagers on squads at the World Cup and he’s the youngest player ever to play for his nation in the tournament. Some are calling Abdelkarim Egypt’s heir apparent to Mohamed Salah, now 34, who is arguably the team’s biggest star. Abdelkarim subbed in for Salah in the 76th minute of Egypt’s World Cup opener against Belgium. What sets Abdelkarim apart is his poise.
INGLEWOOD: Iran coach Amir Ghalenoei says that although his team is still being treated unfairly by the host US at the World Cup through travel restrictions and visa refusals, he is optimistic FIFA will persuade the Americans to lessen some of those strictures next week. “I am very glad that the Iranian nation is behind us,” Ghalenoei said through an interpreter. “Our martyrs in Iran, we play for them. But I know that this kind of behavior has hurt our people.
KANSAS CITY, Missouri: Curacao goalkeeper Eloy Room made 15 saves against a relentless Ecuador attack, allowing The Blue Wave to earn a 0-0 draw against the heavily favored La Tri on Saturday night and earn the tiny island nation its first-ever World Cup point. The outcome also allowed Germany, which beat Ivory Coast earlier in the day, to clinch Group E. The 37-year-old Room, whose shutout of Jamaica last November sent Curacao to its first World Cup, bounced back from a 7-1 loss to Germany with one of the finest performances by a goalkeeper in World Cup history. His save total was one shy of the record — since saves became an official stat in 1966 — of 16 set by Tim Howard of the US against Belgium on July 1, 2014.
