The Guardian FootballNetherlands v Morocco: World Cup 2026 last 32 – live
⚽️ Kick-off time: 7pm local/9pm EDT/2am BST/11am AEST ⚽️ Player guide | Bracketology | Golden Boot | Mail Ella Mary Waltz writes in on the back of that Germany v Paraguay shootout: “ All England fans admit it. Germany losing by penalties is the ultimate of Schadenfreud.” The lack of a clinical goalscorer has hampered the Dutch team in recent years, but Brian Brobbey has been the solution at this World Cup. The Sunderland striker didn’t initially project as a starter; Memphis Depay was their leading scorer up top through qualifying, but he was nursing a thigh injury in the run-up to the tournament.

The Guardian FootballBrazil into last 16 as Martinelli strikes in stoppage time to break Japan hearts
Not for the first time in this tournament, there were long periods when Brazil did not impress. And not for the first time in this tournament, they got away with it. It may be inexplicable but the Carlo Ancelotti method that worked at Real Madrid is working again: stay in games and eventually either opponents will make a mistake or brilliant players will do something brilliant. Brazil were 1-0 down at half-time and struggling. Their earliest exit form a World Cup seemed entirely possible. Five players in the Brazil starting lineup were aged over 30, five of the six defensive players – and they looked it. Japan were quicker, slicker, sharper and more imaginative. But the introduction of Endrick and a change of shape and approach at half-time changed everything. Brazil started slinging crosses into the box and Japan wobbled. Casemiro, barely a pedestrian in the first half, headed the equaliser and, deep into stoppage time, Gabriel Martinelli squeezed in the winner. Continue reading...

The Guardian FootballWhat hosting the World Cup means for Canadian soccer: ‘The stakes are absolutely massive’
Of the trio of World Cup hosts, only Canada is hosting the tournament for the first time – local soccer officials hope it can be transformative Toronto’s Front Street, which loosely tethers the city’s central station and some of its landmarks to the part of the waterfront that hosts the fan fest and Toronto Stadium to the west, thrummed all week with a pleasant energy. Hours ahead of Croatia-Panama on Tuesday, there were scores of jerseys out for those countries, of course, but plenty for Brazil and Scotland and other sides as well. A Croatian fan scolded a street vendor hawking Blue Jays gear by the Rogers Center, where the baseball team were about to play, for not selling any Croatia merch. “Croatia!” he said gruffly. “Gonna win today!” Continue reading...

The Guardian FootballMorocco and the Netherlands look to move mountains in Monterrey matchup
Two teams with plenty of connections meet in a ‘clash of titans’ at one of the World Cup’s most picturesque venues Morocco manager Mohamed Ouahbi had just been asked what would inspire his players to justify the feverish expectation hanging over them. Would they turn to the example of history, or would they draw on something else? “The biggest motivation the players have is to put on the jersey and represent the country,” he began. “That is motivation enough to move mountains.” It would be some feat if they managed to alter the geology of Cerro de la Silla, the claw-shaped double peak that overwhelms the skyline around Estadio Monterrey, where Morocco and the Netherlands will play in the World Cup Round of 32.

The Bayern Munich star changed the game when he came on, opening the space for Stephen Eustáquio to shoot from for the match-winner For 75 minutes, Canada and South Africa struggled to find a way to break through in the World Cup’s inaugural round of 32 clash. Neither team ceded an inch. Canada couldn’t be baited into intensifying its press as South Africa dawdled playing out from the back. South Africa worked to advance upfield but struggled to find dangerous avenues into the box. Then, at long last, 345 minutes into Canada’s tournament, Alphonso Davies crossed the touchline for his first involvement at World Cup 2026.
