: Tunisia have dismissed Sabri Lamouchi after their 5-1 World Cup defeat to Sweden. ❌

The decision makes Lamouchi the first manager to be sacked during the 2026 World Cup, with Tunisia moving quickly in the aftermath of the heavy loss.

Spain’s Mikel Oyarzabal became the first player since 1966 to go the first 30 minutes of a World Cup match without a touch

Spain had 74% possession in the 0-0 draw with Cape Verde

After tying Spain 0-0 earlier today, Cape Verde's 40-year old goalie has gained over TWO MILLION Instagram followers

One of the most impressive come-ups we've ever seen

Despite Spain having 74% possession, Cape Verde committed just ONE foul the entire match.

This is the least amount of fouls committed by a team on record in a World Cup match

But no major meltdown à la France in South Africa
Before that France melted down in 02. We are still only 1 game in because of all of the teams that got added. So we may have to wait at least another 10 days before knockout scenarios.
