Mikel Oyarzabal got a brace in Spain’s 3-0 victory over #Austria yesterday! The thing I think we need to focus on is that #Spain still has not given up 1 goal in this tournament yet! #WorldCup

#Bayern sign Moroccan Ismael #Saibari from #PSV. He scored in each of Morocco’s group stage matches. He scored the final PK in Morocco’s victory over the Netherlands! He is going to be tough to deal with in the #Bundesliga next season!

I really hope that Jonathan Tah from Germany is not getting horrible treatment since numerous #German players refused to take penalties. Even though Tah missed missed, he stepped up and took the responsibility. #WorldCup www.msn.com/en-us/sports...

#France (3) - #Sweden (0) France really dominated this match! #Mbappe and #Messi seem to be going tit for tat on goals scored! Love to see the big players come up big in the #WorldCup!

He didn't get a call up to the National Team for #Colombia until 2023. By that time he was playing #Mexico since 2016 and was putting up some numbers. He had grown to love his adoptive country and decided to represent El Tri! #WorldCup open.substack.com/pub/foxinthe...

Great breakdown! I didn't know it was a bigger issue than the pitch. Given the massive anger over South #Korea's #WorldCup exit and qualifiers, I wonder if we will see any political or business regulation changes happening regarding the 'chaebols'? open.substack.com/pub/football...

Koeman overthought the plan against higher-ranked #Morocco. Shifting to a back 5 and ceding possession wasted #Dutch strengths. Still, they reached penalties and almost won despite themselves. #WorldCup

Brazil's dramatic 2-1 win over Japan showed great resilience, but struggling against a low block and was slow to transition which led to Sano’s goal highlights defensive risks. How far do you think Brazil will go in this World Cup?

Crazy that #Germany is out of the #WorldCup in the round of 32. #Paraguay played a gritty match! In 2018 and 2022, they were knocked out in the group stage, and this year in the round of 32. Does German football need a complete revamp?

So great see storied like #DRCongo making it to knockout rounds of the #WorldCup for the first time in their history with their comeback 3-1 victory over #Uzbekistan! Has to be noted that Newcastle forward, Yoane Wissa came away with the brace!

Currently these are the third place teams that will move on to the knockrounds! #WorldCup

A bright spot for the #USMNT in last night’s match was Sebastian Berhalter. He had 1 goal and 1 assist. His corners were on point, hence the assist. He completed 84 % of his passes. The way he struck the ball on his goal was no joke! Lastly, he got an 8.9 rating on Fotmob! #WorldCup

The USMNT lost last night in a last second goal by Türkiye. By the way, Güler did Pulisic dirty by nutmegging him like that on the last play. With that being said, the #USMNT sat 9 starters. They still won the group! #Bosnia is going to be tough in the Round of 32 next Wednesday! #WorldCup

What is going on with Tim Weah? While Weah struggles on the left, his recent drop in form extends to his decision making and sharpness. Playing on the right wing might help, but he needs to regain confidence and rhythm overall, I think. What do you think? #USMNT #WorldCup

Meet Switzerland’s new #WorldCup hero! Read how 20-year-old Johan Manzambi went from SC Freiburg’s bench to lighting up the global stage with 3 goals. Check out his full story here! open.substack.com/pub/foxinthe...

South Africa (1) - South Korea (0) South Korea still needs to wait for the results from other matches to see if they are going to make it to the Round of 32. Did the South Korea’s head coach make a mistake in starting Son Heung-min?

Johan Manzambi was straight ballin’ yesterday! The 20-year-old had a goal and an assist for #Switzerland when they beat #Canada 2-1 yesterday! I wonder if teams are going to put in some offers for him after the #WorldCup to get him to move away from SC Freiburg?

Ecuador (2) - #Germany (1) Well-deserved victory for #Ecuador. Ecuador will most likely move on as one of the best 3rd best place teams!

HT Ecuador (1) vs Germany (1) The question is, sure Leroy Sane’s goal counted or should a foul have been called on Aleksandar Pavlović for a high boot?

Switzerland (2) vs Canada (1) After Canada got their goal in the 76th minute from Promise David, it really looked like they were going to get the equalizer. #Switzerland is 1st in Group B and Canada is 2nd. #Canada will need to travel to Los Angeles for their Round of 32 match. #WorldCup

#Canada vs #Switzerland battle for 1st place in Group B is today. This is important because it will determine who their opponent will be in the knockout round. Who is going to win out, Switzerland’s discipline or Canada’s high press? #WorldCup

There is a mouth-watering 6 matches on the docket today! Which match are you looking forward to the most? I am actually looking forward to the #Scotland vs #Brazil match. The top 3 in this group are only separated by 1 point. #WorldCup

Great interview. #Mourinho seems to want to step out of the spotlight, but I'm eager to see how he manages #Mbappé, #ViniJr, and squad turnover. #RealMadrid is a pressure cooker, let's see if his calm new persona actually lasts once the media heat is turned up. www.vanityfair.com/story/jose-m...

Both Sound Transit and Lime have reported daily ridership records during Friday’s USA-Australia match. Between rental bikes/scooters and light rail, they reported about 350,000 riders. www.sounderatheart.com/2026/06/lime...

After missing a penalty kick in the first half yesterday, Messi came through in the clutch with a brace! He now has 18 goals all time in the World Cup. With Mbappé on his heels with 16 goals, do you think Messi will end this World Cup as the all-time leader in goals? #Messi #WorldCup

Cristiano Ronaldo will not be outdone by Messi. He scored a brace in today’s match versus Uzbekistan. This means he is the first player to score in 6 different World Cups! 2006, 2010, 2014, 2018, 2022, 2026! #WorldCup #Ronaldo

I am actually surprised there have not been more weather ⛈️ delays in this World Cup. That one in Philadelphia yesterday was for 2 hours and 10 minutes. Did you come back to watch the rest of the match after that long delay? #WorldCup

Both Mbappé and Haaland bag braces yesterday! They are on a hot streak this tournament. Can they keep this going into the knockout rounds? On a side note, Mbappé has already tied Miroslav Klose with 16 goals all-time in the World Cup. That is only two behind Messi! #Messi #WorldCup #Mbappe

Vozinha is a 2nd Division goalkeeper for his club but the starting goalkeeper for the Cape Verde national team. How did he earn a clean sheet versus Spain? How did the 40 year old go from an unknown to over 15 million followers on Instagram! #WorldCup #CapeVerde substack.com/@foxinthebox...

Friday’s USMNT game was the culmination of more than 30 years of work. @frankmsounders.bsky.social wrote in IV about how close Seattle came to hosting the World Cup in 1994. www.sounderatheart.com/2026/06/the-...

Marshawn Lynch reveals one simple reason the Seahawks icon would never play for Seattle Sounders

Japan beat Tunisia 4-0 yesterday. Tunisia's new coach came on the scene a few days ago. Hervé Renard has done some great work as an international coach but I just don’t see what Tunisia thought was going to happen when you let go of a head coach mid-tournament. #WorldCup #Tunisia

It almost seemed like South Africa was going to pull out the victory at the end. Now, Czechia and South Africa both have 1 point. It is a must-win for both teams in their next game, and even then, they still might not move on to the next round. #WorldCup

Can we give some props to Luis Diaz, who completely balled out in last night’s match for #Colombia! #WorldCup

Catch up on all the June 17 World Cup drama! From Kane's clutch brace for England and Ghana's 95th-minute late heroics, to Thomas Partey's crazy visa saga, we have every stat and recap covered here: foxintheboxfc.substack.com/p/world-cup-...

The #Sounders returned to training last week and have been reconditioning after 18 days away for the World Cup break, including facing the Belgium squad in a shortened scrimmage. A look at how Rave Green is gearing back up for the second half: https://ow.ly/ug5J50Ze3zH

It’s been over two years since FIFA announced where the #USMNT would play its group games in this World Cup. I know so many people who’ve been looking forward to this moment ever since. (Yes, including myself.) Seattle, here we come:

After six days back following an 18-day break, the Sounders will get four more days off before turning focus to Timbers on July 16. www.sounderatheart.com/2026/06/soun...

Rashford really showed composure on that goal! Calmly cutting the ball from his left to his right foot! England 4 - Croatia 2!

Another one! Jude Bellingham drives with the ball on the right flank and scores! 3-2 England in the lead! #WorldCup

🚨Columbus Crew acordó la compra de Andrés Herrera. *️⃣La operación se cerró en u$s 1.5M para River. El defensor firmará hasta junio de 2029.

FC Dallas forward Petar Musa scores to bring Croatia back level with England before the half. FCD:

What am I watching! Croatia ties it up with FC Dallas forward Petar Musa with the goal! At the half it is 2-2!

England takes the lead from Harry Kane who arrives late in the box on the corner and heads it in the goal! Kane with the brace!

Bayern really could have done with inking the deal for Saibari before that happened…

#Messi had an amazing game last night! That is no question. The question is, should he have been sent off with a red card for this play? #WorldCup
