BELGIUM [1] - [1] EGYPT GOAAAAAAL - BELGIUM Unfortunate Own Goal by Mohamed Hany. Lukaku replaces Charles De Ketelaere at 66' th Minute. Red Devils has Equalised Egypt #FIFAWorldCup #FIFAWC2026 #BELEGY #KevinDeBruyne #MohamedSalah

HALF TIME - Belgium 0 - 1 Egypt Here's everything you need to know from the first 45 minutes 1/ Emam Ashour AND Mohamed Salah - looked sharp. Ashour curled a beauty from 20 yards into the bottom-left corner for the goal. 2/ Belgium - struggled to handle. De Bruyne's chip to release Meunier was even hooked away by Ashour tracking back defensively. 3/ BIGGEST SURPRISE SO FAR: Egypt going into the break with a historic 1 - 0 lead - the first time they have been ahead at the interval in a World Cup match. Doku should have levelled on the stroke of half-time but couldn't convert. Didn't see that coming. #BELEGY #FIFAWC2026

BELGIUM [0] – [1] EGYPT GOAAAAAAL - EGYPT EMAM ASHOUR | 20' Assisted By Mohammed Salah The Pharaohs draw the first blood #FIFAWorldCup #FIFAWC2026 #BELEGY #KevinDeBruyne #MohamedSalah

Kevin De Bruyne and Mohamed Salah. Two of the defining players of their generation meet on the World Cup stage as Belgium(Red Devils) face Egypt (Pharaohs) for the first time in FIFA World Cup history. Belgium and Egypt have met three times previously, with Egypt holding a 2-1 advantage in the head-to-head record, including a 2-1 friendly win in 2022. For De Bruyne and Salah, both now in the latter stages of their international careers, World Cup 2026 could represent one final dance to leave a lasting mark on football’s biggest tournament. #FIFAWorldCup #FIFAWC2026 #BELEGY #KevinDeBruyne #MohamedSalah

Spain couldn't break down Cabo Verde today, Yes, Yamal started on the bench. Yes, Nico wasn't 100%. But you're ONE OF THE BEST TEAM in the world. you couldn't score. Cabo Verde is a great story . Agree or disagree? Drop it below #WorldCup2026 Spain survive with a point. But the Real test is Uruguay on June 27th. That's when we find out if Yamal and Nico starting from the first whistle can unlock a real defence. Save this tweet. If Spain drop points again, the knockout stage conversation gets very uncomfortable very fast. #LaRoja #WorldCup2026

2/ FOR CABO VERDE - THE MEN WHO MADE HISTORY VOZINHA 10/10 - MAN OF THE HOUR. Full stop. No debate. Vozinha made a tremendous leap to keep out Oyarzabal's looping header after Torres' crossbar strike. He made multiple big saves throughout to keep his nation's dream alive. Representing a country of just over 500,000 people, he stood between Spain and history. He won. ROBERTO LOPES & STOPIRA - The defensive partnership was immense. Organised, physical, brave. Spain's forwards barely had a sniff. #Vozinha #CaboVerde #CopaMundialFIFA #España

FT: Spain [0] – [0] Cabo Verde It happened. History on debut. The Blue Sharks held Spain - SPAIN - to a goalless draw in Atlanta. No goals. No mercy. A point earned, not gifted. #España #CopaMundialFIFA #CaboVerde

HT: Spain [0] – [0] Cabo Verde | Group H | Atlanta 1/ Pedri - nearly broke the deadlock just before the break. His right-footed shot from outside the box was saved in the centre of the goal by Vozinha. A moment of quality from the Barcelona man, but the keeper was equal to it. 2/ Cabo Verde - the Blue Sharks are exactly what we thought. They've stayed organised and disciplined, winning set-piece free kicks, staying compact, and catching Spain with an offside trap - all classic underdog tactics executed well. No flukes here. 3/ Biggest surprise so far - VOZINHA is the answer. The Cabo Verde keeper has been kept busy and has come up big, making saves that have kept this level at the break. #VamosEspaña #CopaMundialFIFA #CaboVerde

Yamal and Nico Williams both start on the bench tonight vs Cape Verde. Two of the most electric wingers in world football and both still working their way back to full fitness after injury setbacks. We've seen what happens when these two connect. At Euro 2024. Throughout last season. Every time they share the pitch, the energy shifts. And if Rodri, Pedri or Oyarzabal need support tonight, Luis de la Fuente has the perfect option waiting beside him on that bench. Just wait for it. The moment Yamal and Nico step onto that pitch together, fully fit and flying again, the game changes instantly. #VamosEspaña #CopaMundialFIFA #CaboVerde

Today he faces Lamine Yamal. Nico Williams. The reigning European Champions. Spain went through qualifying unbeaten. Conceded just twice in 10 games. The odds aren't kind. But Vozinha has been defying odds his entire career. 88 caps. Countries nobody scouts. A nation nobody expected. One moment the whole world will now watch. Remember the name today. Vozinha. #CaboVerde #Vozinha #WorldCup2026 #BlueSharksFIFAWorldCup #SpainVsCaboVerde

Then there's what he did for Cabo Verde in qualifying. 7 clean sheets in 10 games. Against Cameroon. Against Angola. A perfect home record - 5 games. 5 wins. Zero goals conceded. A nation of 600,000 people - smaller than Madrid - topped one of Africa's hardest qualifying groups. First ever World Cup. After 7 failed attempts. 88 international caps. Vice-captain. The heartbeat of this team. #España #CaboverdeVsSpain

The story of Cabo Verde’s Goal Keeper - Vozinha Nobody is talking about Vozinha AKA Grandma. Let us change that. His name is Josimar José Évora Dias. Born in Mindelo, Cape Verde. He turned 40 years old this month and today he's playing in his FIRST ever FIFA World Cup. Not at 23. Not as a golden boy. At FORTY. #CaboverdeVsSpain #FifaWorldcup2026 #Vozinha #España

FT: Germany 7–1 Curaçao 🌍⚽ Two stories from tonight: 🇩🇪 GERMANY — Ruthless. Clinical. A statement. After two early World Cup exits, Nagelsmann's machine just reminded everyone why they're a title contender. Musiala, Havertz (2), pulling strings — this was the Germany of old. 🇨🇼 CURAÇAO — Lost 7-1. But walked into a World Cup for the first time EVER, equalized against a 4-time World Champion, and scored their first goal in tournament history through Livano Comenencia. They came. They scored. They made history. 🙌 Some losses hit different. 💔 #FIFAWorldCup2026 #GERvCUW #Curacao #Germany

🚨 CURAÇAO JUST EQUALIZED GERMANY AT THE WORLD CUP 🔥 A tiny island of 150,000 people, making their DEBUT at a World Cup — and they just pulled level with a 4-time World Champion. Nmecha put Germany up in the 6' ✅ Livano Comenencia said HOLD ON in the 21' 🇨🇼 Score: Germany 1–1 Curaçao | 23' LIVE Football never fails to deliver 🌍⚽ #FIFAWorldCup2026 #GERCUW #Curacao

The World Just Found Out France didn't want him. So he walked into the World Cup against Brazil — on debut — and put in one of the most composed midfield performances of the tournament. No hype. No build-up. No safety net. Just a kid from Lille who was ready long before the world was ready for him. Ayyoub Bouaddi isn't a prospect anymore. He's not a story to follow. He's already here. The only thing that changed yesterday? You finally saw it.

The France to Morocco Arc He captained France U-21. May 15, 2026: France announces their World Cup squad. Bouaddi's name? Not on it. Same day — Morocco files a nationality switch request with FIFA. May 26: Morocco names him in their World Cup 26 squad.

An 18-year-old walked into MetLife Stadium yesterday for his first-ever senior international match. His opponent? Brazil. His position? CDM. The engine room. The most thankless job on the pitch. Here's what he did. 🧵
