Hakimi, Bellingham, and Olise, among players in danger of missing potential 2026 World Cup semifinals

worldsoccertalk.com · 2 weeks ago

Ahead of the 2026 World Cup quarterfinal matches, Achraf Hakimi, Jude Bellingham, and Michael Olise are among the players at risk of suspension due to yellow card accumulation. With the quarterfinal bracket now set, 17 players across the eight remaining teams are one yellow card away from missing a potential semifinal appearance at the 2026 World Cup. England and Morocco lead the list with four players apiece in danger of suspension, while Switzerland follow with three players and France round out the podium with two. The risk comes down to how FIFA’s disciplinary rules stack across the knockout rounds. Any player booked in two of the three matches spanning the Round of 32, Round of 16, and quarterfinals will be automatically suspended for the semifinals, should their team advance that far. Yellow cards reset twice during the tournament: once after the group stage, and again after the quarterfinals. That means no player can be suspended for the final over card accumulation — the only way to miss that match is with a red card. Jude Bellingham #10 of England receives a yellow card.

Achraf Hakimi is one of those at risk, facing France in the quarterfinals, where Michael Olise finds himself in the same boat. For England, things get trickier still — in their quarterfinal against Norway, star man Jude Bellingham joins Nico O’Reilly, Declan Rice, and Marc Guehi on the brink of suspension.

worldsoccertalk.com · 3 weeks ago

With Alphonso Davies returning to fitness at a crucial stage of the tournament, attention has shifted toward whether the captain will play a decisive role as the co-host looks to extend its unforgettable run. Canada stands just one victory away from reaching the 2026 World Cup quarterfinals for the first time, but a formidable Morocco side now stands in its path. With Alphonso Davies returning to fitness at a crucial stage of the tournament, attention has shifted toward whether the captain will play a decisive role as the co-host looks to extend its unforgettable run. The Round of 16 clash in Houston promises to be one of the most intriguing matchups of the knockout stage. Canada arrives full of confidence after breaking new ground, while Morocco continues to prove that its remarkable performances on the global stage are far from a one-time achievement. The Reds have already rewritten their soccer history during the 2026 World Cup. After reaching the knockout rounds for the first time, Jesse Marsch’s side secured its first-ever World Cup knockout victory by defeating South Africa 1-0 thanks to Stephen Eustáquio’s dramatic stoppage-time winner. That victory extended Canada’s impressive attacking form, with the team scoring nine goals while conceding only three throughout the tournament. The squad has also found the net in six consecutive matches, giving supporters genuine belief that another upset may be possible. Stephen Eustaquio #7 of Canada celebrates scoring a goal. The challenge, however, becomes significantly tougher against a Morocco team that has established itself among the world’s elite over the past four years. Morocco’s new identity could make another deep World Cup run possible Morocco enters the Round of 16 carrying momentum of its own after eliminating the Netherlands in a penalty shootout following a tense draw. The Atlas Lions have now stretched their unbeaten run to nine matches, reinforcing their reputation as one of international soccer’s most difficult teams to overcome. Since taking charge earlier this year, coach Mohamed Ouahbi has introduced a more possession-oriented style while maintaining the defensive discipline that made Morocco one of the biggest stories of the 2022 World Cup. Their remarkable passing display against the Netherlands showcased a side increasingly comfortable controlling matches rather than relying solely on counterattacks. Issa Diop #14 of Morocco celebrates a goal. The North African nation is also hoping to build on its historic semifinal appearance in Qatar by making another deep run in North America. Will Alphonso Davies play? Much of the pre-match discussion has centered around Alphonso Davies, who recently returned from a lengthy hamstring injury. The Bayern Munich defender will start on the bench, having made his first international appearance since March 2025 by coming off the bench against South Africa. He immediately providied greater attacking energy down Canada’s left flank. Alphonso Davies of Canada. Although his substitute appearance lasted only around 15 minutes, Davies created one of the team’s best opportunities and forced South Africa to adjust defensively whenever he received possession. Canada vs Morocco: Confirmed lineups Canada confirmed XI (4-4-2): Crépeau; Johnston, Fougerolles, Bombito, Laryea; Sigur, Eustáquio, Ahmed; Buchanan, Oluwaseyi; J. David. Morocco confirmed XI (4-2-3-1): Bounou; Hakimi, Halhal, Diop, Mazraoui; El Aynaoui, Bouaddi; El Khannouss, Ounahi, Díaz, Saibari.

Is Achraf Hakimi playing? Morocco vs Haiti confirmed lineups for the 2026 World Cup Group C game

worldsoccertalk.com · last month

Morocco and Haiti are clashing in Group C of the 2026 World Cup, with Achraf Hakimi's presence in the game being key to secure the first place. Morocco and Haiti are clashing on Wednesday, June 24th, for Matchday 3 in Group C of the 2026 World Cup at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta. With first place in the group up for grabs, the presence of captain and star Achraf Hakimi is a major talking point among Morocco fans. Achraf Hakimi has been included in the starting XI for the game against Haiti. The PSG right-back completed the full 90 minutes in the last two World Cup matches and has been training alongside his teammates, meaning he will be ready to start the final game of the group phase. Morocco has already put itself on the brink of the next round after a 1-0 win against Scotland in Matchday 2. On the other hand, Haiti’s dreams of reaching the next phase have taken a massive blow, as they are already eliminated from the World Cup following a 3-0 loss to Brazil. At the moment, the Atlas Lions and Brazil are sitting at the top of the group with four points each. With Brazil currently holding the edge on goal difference, Morocco’s task, should the South American nation win its game against Scotland, is to win and score as many goals as possible to claim first place. Players of Morocco celebrate the team’s 1-0 victory against Scotland.

2026 World Cup: Achraf Hakimi, Brahim Diaz headline Morocco’s 26-man squad

worldsoccertalk.com · 2 months ago

Morocco have confirmed their squad for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, with Achraf Hakimi and Brahim Diaz among the team’s biggest stars. Morocco are all set to begin their journey at the 2026 FIFA World Cup, where they will try to replicate their historic run from Qatar 2022. Achraf Hakimi and Brahim Diaz are among the key players in the squad selected to travel to North America. “Here is our National Team’s final squad list for the FIFA World Cup 2026! Let the adventure begin,” Morocco announced Tuesday through their official X account, alongside a creative reveal of the 26 selected players styled as a sticker album. Among the biggest names included in the roster selected by head coach Mohamed Ouahbi is, naturally, Achraf Hakimi, the team captain and one of the few players whose club season has not yet ended. This Saturday, he will attempt to win the 2025-26 UEFA Champions League title with Paris Saint-Germain in the final against Arsenal. Brahim Diaz is probably the most important addition to the national team compared to Qatar 2022. After choosing to represent Morocco instead of Spain, the country of his birth, the Real Madrid winger has become a key piece of the squad, something he already demonstrated during the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations. اللائحة النهائية لمنتخبنا الوطني المشاركة في كأس العالم 2026 🌍🏆🚨 Here is our National Team’s final squad list for the FIFA World Cup 2026! Let the adventure begin 👊#DimaMaghrib 🇲🇦 pic.twitter.com/ZKAzdUkblR— Équipe du Maroc (@EnMaroc) May 26, 2026 A new generation for Morocco Compared to the players who competed in Qatar four years ago, 16 of the 26 players now selected by Mohamed Ouahbi are newcomers. A talented young generation has joined the national team in recent years, boosted in part by the country’s success at the 2025 U-20 World Cup. The generational transition is so significant that 10 of the newly added players are under 25 years old. Among the standouts are Lille’s Ayyoub Bouaddi, 18, along with RC Strasbourg talents Samir El Mourabet, 19, and Gessime Yassine, 20. The players remaining from Morocco’s fourth-place finish in 2022 are Yassine Bounou, Munir El Kajoui, Ahmed Reda Tagnaouti, Achraf Hakimi, Noussair Mazraoui, Sofyan Amrabat, Nayef Aguerd, Azzedine Ounahi, Abde Ezzalzouli and Bilal El Khannouss. On the other hand, some of the most notable absences include Hakim Ziyech and Youssef En-Nesyri. Morocco’s path at the 2026 World Cup Morocco did not get much luck in the 2026 FIFA World Cup draw, landing in what appears on paper to be one of the tournament’s toughest groups. They are part of Group C alongside Scotland, Haiti and Brazil. The South American giants will be their opening opponent on June 13 at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey.
