New Zealand have managed to make a comeback to the World Cup, playing the 2026 edition after 16 years of absence. After their draw against Iran, they have managed to gain a couple of positions in the FIFA Men’s Ranking before their clash against Egypt. After 16 years of absence, New Zealand have managed to make a comeback to the World Cup, playing the 2026 edition. While they were expected to disappoint in their debut, they tied against Iran, demonstrating a strong offense to dominate the game. Under Darren Bazeley, they have managed to recover competitiveness, escalating their positions in the FIFA Men’s Ranking. Ahead of facing Egypt, they have kept a good spot in the standings. Ahead of today’s clash, New Zealand are ranked 83rd spot with 1290.04 points, as per FIFA Men’s World Ranking. Despite their draw against Iran, they escalated two positions. Under head coach Darren Bazeley, they have managed to significantly improve their international standing, compared to their 161th spot from April-May of 2016. However, they have yet to match their highest-ever ranking, which was 47th on August of 2002. New Zealand remain the lowest-ranked national team in the group. Unlike them, Belgium shine in the FIFA Men’s World Ranking, holding the 10th spot with 1727.88 points. Iran hold the 22nd spot with 1611.18 points. Then, Egypt remain the second lowest-ranked national team in their group at the 2026 World Cup, holding the 28th spot with 1570.67 points. Even though they arrived without making noise at the 2026 World Cup, New Zealand have managed to prove themselves as one of the most competitive teams. Maintaining possession of the ball, they manage to reach the opponent’s area a lot, doubling Iran’s shots on target in the previous match. Because of this, Egypt may find a fairly dominant opponent, who can do damage in many ways, being quite effective. Elijah Just #11 of New Zealand celebrates with his teammates after scoring a goal. New Zealand may need to bet on aerial game to defeat Egypt Throughout the 2026 World Cup, New Zealand have managed to maintain their possession-based style of play, aiming to be protagonists. For this, the presence of Sarpreet Singh emerges as key, as he distributes the play alongside Marko Stamenic. However, they face Egypt, whose defense is one of the most solid. With this in mind, they may need to rely on their aerial game as their main weapon. Taking advantage of Elijah Just and Callum McCowatt, they could shine on the wings, looking to break down Egypt’s defense. With this, they could rely on crosses, which Chris Wood could take advantage of with his strong aerial game. In addition, possible rebounds could fall to Sarpreet Singh or Marko Stamenic, to unleash powerful shots and look for goals from outside the box. With a victory, they could dream of reaching the knockout stages.
Mexico complete a solid outing as they beat Serbia 5-1. Mexico was expected to get a good test against Serbia, but the Europeans showed why they could not qualify for the World Cup as they lost 5-1 in a poor performance. In the first half, it was a good start for Mexico, who dominated possession and created goal-scoring chances, but they were ineffective until a fortunate play gave Serbia the lead through Stanić. However, Mexico stayed on track and tied it with a goal from Vásquez. Just before halftime, a very obvious mistake by Serbia on a back pass ended in an own goal. It was a different story in the second half, as Mexico pulled away from a very young opponent that struggled throughout the match. Jiménez got what he wanted with the third goal, before another own goal and a goal from Chávez put the game away with a 5-1 final score.
Spain's group rivals Uruguay suffered a huge setback for the World Cup as they may not have Giorgian de Arrascaeta. Group H features a pair of World Cup champions ready to battle for first place. With Spain considered the favorite to advance as the group winner, Uruguay are expected to finish ahead of Saudi Arabia and Cape Verde. However, a new injury concern has emerged for Marcelo Bielsa‘s team. The player who may miss the World Cup entirely is Giorgian de Arrascaeta. His road to the tournament was already complicated after he suffered a fractured right collarbone while playing for Flamengo on April 29 in a Copa Libertadores match against Estudiantes. That injury was not expected to be a major issue because of the recovery time available, but a new problem has now appeared. During Tuesday’s training session with Uruguay, the midfielder left with calf pain and Uruguayan journalist Gonzalo Ronchi reported it could be a tear. If that diagnosis is confirmed, he would likely be replaced on the squad. Replacement candidates FIFA only requires federations to publicly announce their final 26-man squads. Teams were also required to submit provisional lists of up to 55 players beforehand, but those lists were not made public. However, reports from local media have provided clues about some of the players who were under consideration. 🚨 ATENCIÓN 🚨Se desgarró Giorgian de Arrascaeta y se pierde el Mundial con @Uruguay. Baja sensible para la celeste pic.twitter.com/59Eneg72gz— Gonzalo Ronchi (@GonzaloRonchi) June 2, 2026 Like several other national teams, Uruguay left some notable names out of the final roster, with a few experienced players surprisingly missing from the squad. One midfielder omitted by Bielsa was Lucas Torreira. While the Galatasaray player offers a different profile than de Arrascaeta, the coach could view him as an experienced alternative. Nahitan Nández was the most notable absence from the final squad and could become an option if Bielsa were to make a significant change in approach. Facundo Torres is another player who was believed to be close to making the team and could also be considered. The replacement deadline Even though the final 26-man squads have already been announced, changes can still be made under certain circumstances. FIFA’s regulations state: “A player in the final squad may only be replaced by a player from the provisional squad in the event of a serious injury or illness, no later than 24 hours before their team’s first match at World Cup 2026.” For Uruguay, that deadline falls on June 14.
