The 2026 FIFA World Cup brought further decisions in the group stage. Ivory Coast defeated Curaçao 2:0 and advanced to the knockout phase of the tournament for the first time in its history, a result its fans in Philadelphia celebrated after the final whistle. Le Figaro ↗
In Group F, the Netherlands confirmed its strength by beating Tunisia by a wide margin and finishing first. Tunisia had already been eliminated following earlier defeats and ended the tournament in an atmosphere of disappointment. Japan and Sweden drew, and both secured qualification. Brazil, Morocco, Switzerland, Canada, South Africa, and Bosnia also joined the round of sixteen. South Africa achieved its first-ever advance to the knockout stage after defeating Korea. Le Figaro ↗
Attention also remains on France. The team has already qualified for the round of sixteen and is playing for first place in the group in Friday's match against Norway. The team will be led by assistant coach Guy Stéphan, as Didier Deschamps returned to France for his mother's funeral. The match also brings a duel between Kylian Mbappé and Erling Haaland. France24 ↗
Argentina followed up its successful opening with a 2:0 win over Austria, with Lionel Messi writing himself into the history books with another record. Brazil handled its match against Scotland 3:0, as Neymar returned to the national team after nearly three years, though attention is also focused on the role of Vinícius Júnior. The upcoming fixtures will determine the complete makeup of the round of sixteen and the first knockout-stage pairings. Le Monde ↗
