The Guardian FootballSteve Clarke says pressure on Scotland has eased after victory in ‘must-win game’
Head coach ‘absolutely delighted’ with World Cup triumph over Haiti ‘Different approach’ needed in games against Morocco and Brazil Steve Clarke suggested expectation weighed heavily on the shoulders of Scotland’s players after they laboured at times during the 1-0 win over Haiti . The game marked Scotland’s first at a World Cup since 1998 and delivered a first win since eight years earlier. The Scots top Group C after Brazil drew with Morocco . Yet with those teams, both ranked in the top 10 in the world, still to come there is an understanding Scotland will have to improve to realise their ambition of becoming the first team from the nation to reach the knockout phase of a major tournament. “I am absolutely delighted with my players,” said Clarke. “Resilience, character had to be on the pitch tonight. There is no relief. Everyone told us it was a must-win game and we won. When you win a must-win game, you have to be happy with yourselves.” Continue reading...

The Guardian FootballDR Congo bring style and pride to the World Cup after wholesome welcome
Brutally tough return to tournament awaits, but the stature of opposition feels less important than the fact of being here at all It was an arrival worth more than half a century of waiting. The Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) players strolled into the arrivals hall of George Bush airport on Thursday kitted out in tuxedo suits and leopard-print sashes, channelling La Sape vogue for snappy dress that swept Kinshasa in the 1970s. A throng of local volunteers cheered them through and, in a climate where little can be taken for granted, their welcome to Houston was a genuinely wholesome moment. The DRC’s squad looked appreciative although perhaps they were simply relieved to see new faces. The joy of a first World Cup since 1974, when they competed as Zaire, has been complicated by the Ebola outbreak in their homeland and a 21-day isolation period imposed by the US authorities. The players and staff formed a bubble in Belgium, playing one friendly against Denmark and being forced to cancel a scheduled meeting with Chile in Cádiz. Continue reading...
The Guardian FootballScotland victorious on World Cup return after McGinn strike helps clinch win over Haiti
This all proved rather difficult to evaluate as the dust settled. Scotland’s fifth win at a World Cup finals should have been a cause for epic celebration. Victory over Haiti meant this is a team not guaranteed to receive a bloody nose against lesser nations after all. More than 10,000 days after limping out of the World Cup in France, Scotland returned to the biggest stage in football and claimed three points. They top Group C. Yet in Boston Stadium, the counter narrative was more than a feeling. With Morocco and Brazil to come, this single goal success may prove insufficient as Scotland look to emerge from the group phase for the first time. This regressed into an unconvincing display from Steve Clarke’s team. Haiti lacked the composure to punish that. Still, those who would blindly celebrate Scotland’s win are probably ignoring a bigger picture that should matter. John McGinn’s goal, a sclaff in Scottish terminology, summed up much that was to come thereafter. Scotland must now cling on in their next two outings. Continue reading...

The Guardian FootballVinícius Júnior rescues lacklustre Brazil as Morocco earn deserved World Cup draw
So it turns out that Carlo Ancelotti is no miracle worker. After watching his side fall behind to Ismael Saibari’s brilliant opening goal, the Brazil manager needed a big favour from Vinícius Júnior to ensure the five-time World Cup winners’ first match of the 2026 edition didn’t end in an embarrassing defeat. For large portions of an absorbing first half that hopefully set the tone for the rest of the tournament, Brazil found themselves chasing shadows as Casemiro and Bruno Guimarães struggled to contain a Morocco midfield anchored by the outstanding teenager Ayyoub Bouaddi. But after Times Square was transformed into a tapestry of yellow and red shirts on Friday night as both sets of fans warmed up for one of the most anticipated matches of the group stages, it was the Real Madrid forward who has been heavily criticised for failing to produce his club form on the international stage who gave the Brazil supporters something to celebrate.

The Guardian FootballMuheim’s late own goal gives Qatar dramatic World Cup draw against Switzerland
Qatar celebrated their first World Cup point in a 1-1 draw against Switzerland after Miro Muheim headed in a stoppage-time own goal to send the Gulf nation into jubilation. Muheim, under pressure from Boualem Khoukhi, inadvertently headed home Homam Ahmed’s cross on 94 minutes to cancel out a first-half Breel Embolo penalty, leaving the Swiss stunned and rueful after failing to convert 26 goal attempts to Qatar’s seven. The result left Group B wide open, with all teams locked on a point each following the co-hosts Canada’s 1-1 draw with Bosnia and Herzegovina. Continue reading...
The Guardian FootballKretinsky set to become West Ham‘s biggest shareholder and addresses Sullivan allegations
Czech billionaire to increase his stake from 27% to 43% Kretinsky and Gold ‘deeply concerned’ by revelations Daniel Kretinsky, the owner of Royal Mail, is set to overtake David Sullivan as West Ham’s largest shareholder after agreeing to buy an additional stake in the club from the Gold family. The Czech billionaire has moved to increase his power at West Ham after Sullivan stepped down as a director and co-chair of the club last Saturday, before a joint investigation by the Times and Panorama reporting on seven women accusing him of abusing his power and preying on them for sex in claims that date back to the 1980s and 90s. Kretinsky will increase his stake from 27% to 43% after agreeing to buy a portion of shares from Vanessa Gold, who inherited her 25% stake after the death of her father, David Gold, in January 2023.

For the next 39 days, 104 matches will be played throughout the United States, Mexico and Canada until a World Cup winner is crowned on 19 July. Amid the excitement around the world’s biggest sporting event, there has also been intense controversy and scrutiny. Ticket prices, transport costs, climate threats and security concerns have left fans with mixed emotions. “The US of Donald Trump is tonally different to any host of a major sporting event that has preceded it: a country that actively wants you to see the darkness in its heart, the inhumanity at its core, that gets off on your revulsion,” writes Guardian columnist Jonathan Liew. But ultimately who takes the blame? Fifa, argues Jonathan. Opinion: how the Omar Artan scandal reveals Gianni Infantino for what he is: one of sport’s greatest cowards Continue reading...
