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 Guardian FootballCroatia snatch second by beating Ghana but both through to World Cup knockout stage
It had been another rainy day in Pennsylvania and with no roof at the Philadelphia Stadium, the risk of 65,000 people in ponchos left feeling miserable was real. Fortunately this predicted dead rubber turned out to be nothing of the kind, and with Luka Modric rolling back the years once again, the memories made were positive. Both Croatia and Ghana qualified from Group L on the back of this result. Croatia deserved the three points, thanks two well-hit efforts, first from the man of the match, Petar Sucic, then, in the last knockings, Nikola Vlasic. Ghana, meanwhile, deservedly made the knockout rounds for the first time since 2010, even if Carlos Queiroz poked at his own achievement after the match by calling the expanded World Cup “vulgar”.

⚽️ Kick-off time: 8pm local/12pm AEST/3am BST/10pm EDT ⚽️ Player guide | Bracketology | Golden Boot | Mail Martin Today’s other game was the Group I clash between England and Ghana. Thomas Tuchel’s team got a stern reality check from a dogged Ghanaian side who were happy to sit back and defend. David Hytner was at Boston Stadium: England’s idea was to maintain the momentum they had generated in the 4-2 win over Croatia in their opening Group L tie but there was no surge here. Only stodge. England laboured to create against an ultra-defensive Ghana team, their only pulse-quickening moments coming towards the very end. Continue reading...
The Guardian FootballBudimir rescues Croatia with winner against Panama on Modric’s landmark day
When it was all done, and Ante Budimir had rescued Croatia’s World Cup campaign with the lone goal in a tight match, 25 Croats donned black T-shirts over their match kits and warm-up tops. “Infinite Legacy,” read the T-shirts, printed with the number 200 and an image of Luka Modric. He was the 26th man, but he had quickly taken his T-shirt off after his teammates had flung him in the air a few times. Continue reading...
The Guardian FootballDeclan Rice is running out of steam, leaving Tuchel a midfield conundrum
England mainstay is flagging after six years of nonstop action, but finding a solution to his absence is no easy task A freak of nature is Aaron Cresswell’s description of Declan Rice. The former West Ham left-back marvels at Rice’s ability to keep going. “He can play six or seven games a week,” Cresswell says of his old West Ham teammate. “God knows how many he’s played in the last few years.” The answer is 360 since the start of the 2020-21 season. The schedule has been relentless for the England midfielder. He was vital for West Ham when they had deep European runs in 2022 and 2023, was a mainstay for Gareth Southgate’s England and has been no less influential for Arsenal’s Premier League and Champions League endeavours since joining them three years ago.

The US-Iran agreement will be high on the agenda after Trump clashed with and threatened key allies. Why am I mentioning this in the Geopolitics World Cup blog? Because the German chancellor, Friedrich Merz, took a punt and opted to give Trump a belated 80th birthday gift: a Germany football top with the number 47 on the back and “Trump” written on it. It is quite rare for Trump to endorse anything that is not branded “USA! USA! USA! but he seemed pleased. Algeria: The Desert Warriors will hope to harness strong backing from local supporters when they open their campaign against the defending champions Argentina. Residents of Lawrence, Kansas have fallen in love with Algeria, who have made their base camp in the city 40 miles west of Kansas City and Petkovic praised the north African team’s newfound fans for their warm welcome. Lawrence is located a little over 40 miles from Kansas City, a roughly 40-minute drive from the Metropolitan area that is hosting the base camps of Argentina, the Netherlands, and England for the World Cup . All three are staying at boutique hotels around the city. Algeria? Well, they chose the humble Lawrence DoubleTree. So where did this come from? According to Stan Herd, a local artist, you have to go back to April, when it was officially announced that Lawrence would host Algeria. “I think everybody’s surprised at it,” Herd said. “We’re not.” Continue reading...
