The Guardian FootballWorld Cup 2026 power rankings: undisputed No 1, co-hosts surge and giants fall
We assess the standing of the nations who played in the tournament’s last 32 before the next round of games begins Les Bleus look unstoppable – all six of our judges ranked them No 1. Sweden did their best to cope with the French front four but were blown away by the slickest operation in town. Even when an opponent is feeling comfortable, Michael Olise or Kylian Mbappé can produce genius without notice, ripping apart the best-organised defences. “I did say that I wanted to enjoy this World Cup to the fullest,” Mbappé told reporters after the Sweden game. It is hard to imagine the fun stopping any time soon. Continue reading...
The Guardian FootballFor all Cape Verde’s heroics, Africa’s World Cup could and perhaps should have been better | Jonathan Wilson
Egypt and Morocco are in the last 16 after shootouts, but the continent’s pyramid appears to be getting broader rather than much higher For Africa, this World Cup feels like one of those classic memes from the early days of social media. Is it a gold and white dress or a black and blue dress? Is it a duck or a rabbit? Has this been a good World Cup for Africa or one that underlines the problems of football on the continent? It probably depends where you’re standing. For years, the Confederation of African Football (Caf) had been arguing that five places were not enough for its 54 members: 9% of African sides were represented at a World Cup, while 50% of South America’s members were. The response to that was South American countries had won the World Cup 10 times, whereas Africa had not had a semi-finalist until Morocco reached the last four in Qatar in 2022. Continue reading...
The Guardian FootballSurvival is key for England in epic test or it will be a Mexican wave goodbye
Azteca tie is one of those World Cup occasions that transcend sport – and Tuchel’s side face a challenge all about progress, not process Nausea, cramps, shortness of breath. Time-lagged, unacclimatised, eyes bulging as the vertigo hits. Not to mention three times more likely to suffer unwanted swelling of the brain. Watching England play football at this World Cup has certainly been a physical trial at times. Not least for those back home hunkered around the screen, feeling the energy surge then sag again through the dead periods in Boston, New York and Atlanta. And now we move on to the altitude of Mexico City, the Azteca, host nation energy and a beautifully pitched last-16 game, one of those occasions that seems to go beyond sport, to carry its own sense of something epic and gravitational, an emotional weather front about to break.

The Guardian FootballEngland’s game against Mexico to stay at 1am UK kick-off after day of chaos

The Guardian FootballGet a grip on Mora and take aerial route: what England can do to contain Mexico
Thomas Tuchel’s team can tame the co-hosts by slowing things down and isolating Raúl Jiménez One of the question marks over Mexico’s team before this World Cup centred on a shortage of obvious star quality. That accusation does not hold any more. Gilberto Mora does not turn 18 until October but has played with the authority of a veteran since Javier Aguirre answered a nation’s prayers and plunged him into the starting lineup. Against Czechia and Ecuador he made a huge difference, adding depth and daring to Mexico’s previously functional attacking patterns. He was happy to get stuck in against a midfield that included Chelsea’s Moisés Caicedo, knowing he had solid backup from the more defensive Érik Lira. Mora has been compared with Andrés Iniesta; he certainly has the former Barcelona player’s quick feet and deftness of touch, and England will have to be wary of his right-sided combinations with Jorge Sánchez and the winger Roberto Alvarado.
