The Guardian FootballWorld Cup 2026: England’s Livramento ruled out; Ghana seek to overturn Partey ban; Iran player’s visa expires – live
⚽ All the latest on day six of the tournament ⚽ Player guide | Bracketology | Golden Boot | Mail us Donald Trump: The US president is in France for the G7 summit where he is meeting with world leaders. The US-Iran agreement will be high on the agenda after Trump clashed with and threatened key allies. Why am I mentioning this in the Geopolitics World Cup blog? Because the German chancellor, Friedrich Merz, took a punt and opted to give Trump a belated 80th birthday gift: a Germany football top with the number 47 on the back and “Trump” written on it. It is quite rare for Trump to endorse anything that is not branded “USA! USA! USA! but he seemed pleased. Algeria: The Desert Warriors will hope to harness strong backing from local supporters when they open their campaign against the defending champions Argentina.

The Guardian FootballCould Asian teams be catching up to Europe at this World Cup? | Jonathan Wilson
If there were a shift in world football power, it may look something like the impressive results from South Korea, Japan, Qatar and Australia Predict the winner | Daily podcast | Download our app Daichi Kamada’s late equaliser for Japan against the Netherlands on Sunday did not merely mean that the scoreline more accurately reflected the game. It also extended to four the unbeaten run of teams from the Asian confederation against Europe at this tournament. There is a degree of contingency to that record, and nobody should draw definitive conclusions from the first week of a World Cup, but equally if there were a shift in the power dynamics of world football, it might look a bit like this. The tone was set on day one with South Korea’s victory over Czech Republic . It perhaps shouldn’t have come as a surprise to anybody who saw their qualifying playoff semi-final against Ireland that the Czechs would be so ponderous and lumbering, a side that understood the value of dead balls and long throws and little else. But still, the ease with which South Korea passed their way around them was striking. If Son Heung-min had been the player he was three or four years ago, the Korean victory would have been far more emphatic.

The Guardian FootballFootball Daily | From rock-bottom to World Cup force: Sweden provide life-affirming message
Sign up now! Sign up now! Sign up now? Sign up now! A broken leg, surgery, working for David Sullivan, being sacked by David Sullivan, to say things had looked bleak for Sweden’s main men during the Premier League season is an understatement. Alexander Isak and Graham Potter were at a low ebb; the former failed to live up to his record-breaking £125m move to Liverpool, unable to find fitness nor form, ending the campaign with a pitiful four goals in 22 games having never got going at Anfield. Potter was churned out by West Ham in September, deemed unfit to lead the team forward, a low moment for anyone at the London Stadium. In fairness, the team was doomed regardless and while he is leading a team to a 5-1 thrashing of Tunisia at the Geopolitics World Cup, the Hammers are planning for life in the Championship and Sullivan is no longer co-chair .
