The Guardian FootballWorld Cup 2026 power rankings: undisputed No 1, co-hosts surge and giants fall
We assess the standing of the nations who played in the tournament’s last 32 before the next round of games begins Les Bleus look unstoppable – all six of our judges ranked them No 1. Sweden did their best to cope with the French front four but were blown away by the slickest operation in town. Even when an opponent is feeling comfortable, Michael Olise or Kylian Mbappé can produce genius without notice, ripping apart the best-organised defences. “I did say that I wanted to enjoy this World Cup to the fullest,” Mbappé told reporters after the Sweden game. It is hard to imagine the fun stopping any time soon. Continue reading...

The federation in Tokyo should do all they can to get his signature on a lengthy contract as he is going to be in demand this summer. Continue reading...
The Guardian FootballEngland must go low against Mexico to hit heights with Total Arsenalball
Thomas Tuchel needs to slow game down so his side can handle altitude challenge – it is time for the low block If any win will do then England do not have to worry about putting on an exhibition of attacking football against Mexico. They have no time to acclimatise to the altitude in Mexico City and will have to box clever if they are to handle the challenge of playing at more than 7,000ft (2,200m) above sea level at the Azteca Stadium. No wonder Thomas Tuchel predicted this World Cup would be defined by suffering. England have prepared for the heat in the US but they are about to step into new territory. Mexico, rampant in their last-32 tie against Ecuador , are close to unstoppable at the Azteca. They have lost there twice in 89 competitive games, will be backed by a passionate crowd and have a physical advantage because of the altitude. Continue reading...
The Guardian FootballManzambi dazzles as Switzerland stroll into last 16 with win over Algeria
No wonder Newcastle United are working overtime to wrap up a deal for Johan Manzambi. The secret, if there was such a thing, is well and truly out when it comes to the 20-year-old Freiburg forward who destroyed the Algeria defence to tee up Breel Embolo for Switzerland’s opener in an ominously comfortable victory to reach the last 16. Granit Xhaka, as any good captain would, has tried to keep a lid on soaring expectations, but doing so just got that bit tougher after Switzerland recorded a win in a World Cup knockout game for the first time since 1938. This, then, is new territory for this iteration, though the Swiss president, Guy Parmelin, proclaimed they have been in rude health for a while. Up in the VIP seats alongside Gianni Infantino, he presumably ignored dress codes by wearing a bold red cap reminiscent of the one Donald Trump, invisible so far at this tournament, has regularly donned. Rather than the loud Make America Great Again motto, Parmelin’s hat was decorated with the words: “Switzerland great since 1291”. Continue reading...

The Guardian FootballAzteca avengers? England return to scene of infamous Maradona handball
Mexico have a formidable record in their iconic stadium but for many it will always be associated with one player As soon as the World Cup draw was completed in Washington DC last December, the date went into the diary, circled in bold by every England fan that hoped to travel, and millions more who knew they would not. Sunday 5 July, Mexico City. If everything went to plan and Thomas Tuchel’s team topped Group L and won their last-32 tie, they would be going to the Azteca Stadium for the last 16. There was another element in play. If Mexico won their group and advanced in the last 32, they would provide the opposition. Just imagine. England to play a critical knockout tie against one of the host nations in their back yard. It is a back yard where Mexico boast a fearsome record, where they feel close to invincible, owing in part to it being about 2,240 metres above sea level. The altitude can spin the heads of opposing players, burn their lungs. It does not affect Mexico. Continue reading...
The Guardian FootballWorld Cup 2026: England, USA and Belgium through; Spain and Portugal face last-32 tests – live
⚽ All the latest news from day 22 of the tournament ⚽ Bracketology | Knockout stage draw | And email us And I appreciate all this has been forgotten because England won but Harry Kane should have been awarded a first-half penalty. When a goalkeeper slides and does not get the ball, of course the forward is going to take the contact. Kane is just being punished for being as clever as the officials desire. Maurico Pochettino was rather unhappy with Folarin Balogun’s dismissal. The striker painfully caught the Bosnia and Herzegovina defender Tarik Muharemovic on the ankle but it was a complete accident with two players going for the ball. Continue reading...
The Guardian FootballFootball Daily | England survive a Lionel M masterclass and roll on to the Azteca … just
Sign up now! Sign up now! Sign up now? Sign up now! “For us now, it’s absolutely not a time to panic,” Anthony Barry urged in his now customary half-time debrief, with England 1-0 down to a Democratic Republic of Congo side playing with serious confidence. Thomas Tuchel’s No 2 coldly broke down what was required in the second half – “not a time to play gung-ho football” – but was done dirty by the stat that flashed up on the BBC’s coverage as he spoke. The last time England went on to win a World Cup match in which they conceded first? West Germany in the 1966 final. Yes, you may panic. As an ex-pat Sassenach now living in Edinburgh, capital of the Democratic Republic of Scongo, I can only express my frustration at Harry Kane for depriving the locals of what would inevitably have been an extra bank holiday today. Oh well, all attention now turns to the wee small hours of Monday, when Edinburgh becomes the capital of MexiSco” – John Collins. That was a statement win. I think we deserve to get one of our exclamation points back. Can we please at least be USA USA USA! now?” – Pat Condreay [thoughts? – Football Daily Ed]. Continue reading...
The Guardian Football‘Let the children watch’: Tuchel on England’s 1am BST kick-off after Kane rescue act
Head coach urges parents to ‘write an excuse for school’ so kids can see his team’s World Cup last-16 game against Mexico Harry Kane came to England’s rescue as they avoided a seismic World Cup upset against the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) to set up a last-16 tie against co-hosts Mexico next week. The Bayern Munich striker scored twice in the last 15 minutes to save manager Thomas Tuchel’s blushes after Brian Cipenga had given the African side a shock early lead. It was the first time that England have won a game at the World Cup after conceding the first goal since beating West Germany in the 1966 final at Wembley. Continue reading...

The Guardian FootballEngland and Tuchel prepare to go deep but know ignominy may lie in wait if they fail | Jacob Steinberg
The shadow of Iceland 2016 is all the warning England should need not to take for granted a winnable-looking first knockout game of the tournament It was the 10th anniversary last Saturday of the Iceland debacle . Kolbeinn Sigthórsson’s winner sliding underneath Joe Hart’s dive, Wayne Rooney chugging away in midfield, Harry Kane taking corners, and Roy Hodgson being forced to conduct a sullen farewell press conference. It all feels like something from a fever dream but no, it did happen and that really was the state England were in when their Euro 2016 campaign came to an end. Expectations could not have been lower before Gareth Southgate banished the fear. England had to take small steps before becoming contenders again, to the extent that beating Colombia on penalties in the last 16 of the 2018 World Cup and winning a knockout tie for the first time in 12 years was an achievement.
