ATLANTA, June 17 : South Africa midfielder Themba Zwane has had his suspension after being sent off in the World Cup opener against Mexico last Thursday extended to a three-match ban, FIFA said on Wednesday.
MEXICO CITY: Born in 1986, the last time Mexico hosted a World Cup, Eduardo Marin likes to joke that he’s measured his life not in years, but in soccer tournaments. In 1994, as a young kid, he watched with his family as Mexico crashed out on penalties to Bulgaria. In 2006, by then at college, Marin recalls the heartbreak of Argentina’s Maxi Rodriguez smashing home a volley from outside the box in extra time, knocking out one of the best Mexico teams in recent memory. And in 2018, in his early 30s, Marin and eight friends painted a bus in Mexico’s green, white and red and drove from Germany to Russia in support of ‘El Tri.’ The bus appeared on TV channels across the globe and secured the friend group, for a moment, viral fame. Now, the World Cup has come to Mexico, but Marin is staying home. He’s not attending a single game, and the bus is gathering dust.
ATLANTA, USA: Curaçao fans went wild. The Germans were in shock. Livano Comenencia had scored a goal for the smallest nation by population to ever qualify for the World Cup against four-time champion Germany. At 1-1 in Houston a famous upset looked possible.

Curaçao lost the initiative, conceding two goals before halftime in what eventually became a 7-1 defeat to the Germans. “I actually felt sorry for them,” former England striker Alan Shearer told The Rest is Football podcast.
