2026 World Cup, overnight round-up
Like every morning, OneFootball brings you the overnight World Cup roundup!
The must-see moment of the night
Marcelo Bielsa has clearly not gotten over the fiasco and Uruguay’s elimination after the defeat to Spain (0-1).
Everything was on display: a goalkeeper change at half-time, captain Federico Valverde taken off before the hour mark... all before completely losing it at a journalist.
Clearly irritated by the slow pace of the post-match interview, the Argentine shouted at the reporter, "come on, spit it out, damn it!" A scene that seems to confirm the tense atmosphere surrounding the Uruguay squad throughout the entire World Cup.
In his press conference, El Loco notably said, "I will leave nothing to Uruguayan football. Any contribution from a coach who has been working for three years means nothing if you don’t get results." That says it all.

2) Cape Verde - 3 pts (+0)
3) Uruguay - 2 pts (-1)
4) Saudi Arabia - 2 pts (-4)
Group G:
1) Belgium - 5 pts (+4)

3) Iran - 3 pts (+0)
4) New Zealand - 3 pts (-6)
The three players who stood out
Belgium needed a hero, and they turned to Leandro Trossard, whose brace sent Belgium through to the round of 16.
The Arsenal forward was also well supported by the evergreen Hans Vanaken, back in the starting XI and provider of an assist for his teammate.
Finally, on Spain’s side, Pau Cubarsi is continuing his excellent World Cup with another strong performance against Uruguay. Spain still have not conceded a single goal at this World Cup.

The player to watch
Currently top of their group, Colombia can strengthen their position and send Portugal into a round-of-16 clash with England.
To do that, they will no doubt need a big performance from Luis Diaz, the true leader of a Colombia side more ambitious than ever.
