RIYADH: Scotland spent almost 89 minutes searching for a response, but the damage had already been done. Ismael Saibari’s goal in the second minute of the game proved enough to give Morocco a 1-0 victory in Foxborough and send the Atlas Lions to the top of Group C.
SEATTLE: The United States men’s national team secured a spot in the knockout round of the 2026 World Cup with a 2-0 victory over Australia at Seattle on Friday. Playing without injured star Christian Pulisic, who sat out due to a calf injury, the US took advantage of a second own goal in as many games to remain unbeaten in this World Cup. The victory gave the Americans six points in Group D, assuring the US of advancing no matter what happens in their final group game. If Turkiye ties or loses to Paraguay later on Friday, the US will clinch the top spot in the group.
LEIPZIG, Germany: Two years after leaving the United States following a series of unsuccessful MLS tryouts, Yan Diomande is shining at the World Cup for Ivory Coast — and still grieving a family tragedy. Diomande, 19, made his Ivory Coast debut in October and scored in his first two matches. On Saturday, the RB Leipzig winger faces his adopted home of Germany in Toronto having grown into one of the Elephants’ most dangerous attacking threats. Diomande’s development has come despite having to live with the death last year of his 15-year-old sister, who died after a stranger spiked her drink at a party. In an emotional post on the Players’ Tribune website on Thursday entitled “Dear Roxane,” Diomande wrote to her: “The pitch is the only place that I feel at home anymore. It’s the place where I feel calm, and I can speak to you. I just wish you were still here so I could tell you....
KANSAS CITY, USA: Harry Kane says England's emotional "Wonderwall" singalong with fans after their opening World Cup win against Croatia was one of his top moments in the national shirt. Thomas Tuchel's side got off to a flying start in their first Group L game in Arlington, Texas, on Wednesday, with captain Kane scoring twice in an entertaining 4-2 win. England's victorious players celebrated in front of their supporters while 1995 Oasis hit "Wonderwall" blared out around the AT&T Stadium. "That was one of my favourite ever moments in an England shirt and especially at a major tournament," Kane said on England's Lions Den show. "I know it's just the first game, and we're not getting carried away, but just that emotional connection with the fans, we know how much it means to them. "I think they see how much it means to us. "We have that connection right now, but just that moment, singing 'Wonderwall' in the stadium, everyone knew the words, and that was a really special moment, I thought." Tuchel has spoken about building on the work of former boss Gareth Southgate to strengthen the connection between fans and his squad. England have come agonisingly close to breaking their 60-year major trophy drought at recent tournaments, twice reaching the European Championship finals. Kane is one of a handful of players who remain from the squad that reached the semi-finals at the 2018 World Cup in Russia under Southgate. The skipper said he was enjoying the "freshness" of England's group. "There aren't many players from those early tournaments in this squad, so there's a freshness about it, where you can really see a hunger, a desire, and excitement from the players in the team, just to kind of be part of what could be obviously a
ATLANTA, USA: Lamine Yamal is not feeling 100 percent fit and is not likely to start for Spain in the match against Saudi Arabia on Sunday at the World Cup. Yamal came into the tournament nursing a left hamstring injury and was only a substitute in the team’s opener on Monday — a disappointing 0-0 draw against Cape Verde. “I’m fine, I feel good, but it’s still too soon,” Yamal told Spanish network RTVE. “It’s unnecessary (to take risks).
ATLANTA: Fans arriving in the United States for the World Cup have fallen in love with a popular American condiment, and the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) has offered friendly advice to those wishing to bring ranch dressing home. Ranch dressing — a creamy, savoury salad dressing — can be paired with vegetables, chicken wings, pizza and fries, and after seeing numerous social media posts by fans declaring their love for it, the TSA decided to provide helpful warnings. “If you’re visiting for a very large sporting event and you happen to discover RANCH while you’re here... please pack it in your CHECKED BAG on the way home,” they wrote on Instagram. “If you’re traveling within the US, make sure to keep your carry-on sauces to 3.4 ounces (100ml) or less and place any larger containers in your checked bags.
KANSAS, USA: Argentina returned to training with Lionel Scaloni facing fresh selection dilemmas, after the holders opened their World Cup campaign with a 3-0 win over Algeria, as competition for the striker role again pits Lautaro Martinez against Julian Alvarez. The starters were back on the training pitch ahead of the second match against Austria on Monday, after only working in the gym on Wednesday, with Martinez having led the line in the opener before Alvarez replaced him in the 55th minute. Alvarez was the regular starter heading into the tournament, but Scaloni opted for Martinez — echoing their triumphant Qatar 2022 campaign, when the Inter Milan player began as first-choice striker but Alvarez took over from the third match onwards. Scaloni said before the Algeria game that the Atletico Madrid man had recovered from an ankle issue and was available. After the match, he highlighted the “incredible physical work” by Martinez in the opener. “The coach is constantly making decisions — who plays, who doesn’t, who comes on, who comes off,” he told reporters after the match.
TIJUANA: The Iranian football federation said Thursday it will lodge a complaint with FIFA claiming its team is being subjected to travel restrictions during the World Cup in North America. Iran wanted to fly from their base camp in Tijuana, Mexico, to the United States two days before their next match, against Belgium in Los Angeles on Sunday. But a spokesman for the Iranian federation said its request was turned down. “Despite having submitted its preparation schedule for the tournament well in advance, Iran’s national football team has once again encountered restrictions imposed by the organizers, affecting the implementation of its technical staff’s plans,” the spokesman said. “Given that the game will be played at 12:00 p.m.
