“This is what happens when you apply these incredibly violent economic forces to these cities … it's happened at every World Cup I've been to,” explains our chief sports writer, Barney Ronay.Employees in Atlanta, Georgia, recently threw away tents, medication, identification and other belongings of unhoused people at a public park without warning. This led activists and a local official to point to an apparent violation of procedures created after a city employee ran over a tent with a front loader last year, killing a man. Cornelius Taylor was crushed inside his home as workers came to clear a homeless encampment.The sweep through the park occurred less than a mile from a popular spot for World Cup watch parties, drawing into focus ongoing tension over the treatment of the city’s several thousand unhoused people during the tournament. A city official said the park where about 15 people have gathered for months was “not an encampment” and that the incident was not a sweep.Watch Barney's latest report from downtown Atlanta as the World Cup edges closer to the final – and for more of his video diaries follow Guardian Sport on TikTok.

Despite their defeat to Switzerland, Canada managed to reach the Round of 32 of the 2026 World Cup. There, they will face South Africa, looking for a convincing victory. With this in mind, both sides are expected to have a competitive clash. Here are the confirmed lineups for both sides. Even though they lost the top spot in their group to Switzerland, Canada secured their place in the knockout stage for the first time in their history. There, they will face South Africa, one of the most defensively solid teams at the 2026 World Cup. With this in mind, fans are keeping a close eye on Alphonso Davies‘ availability, as he has yet to make his tournament debut and could be key in attack. Canada have shined as one of the most consistent national teams. While imposing an offensive approach, they also shine in defensive task. To chase the victory, Tajon Buchanan and Liam Millar are set to be key to break the defensive line. Moreover, Jonathan David will also play a huge role, opening gaps within the centerbacks and chasing the goal. While Alphonso Davies is the main star of Canada, he has yet to make his debut at the 2026 World Cup. After suffering a hamstring injury at the beginning of May, he has been recovering, missing the entire group stage. Jesse Marsch has made it clear that he will be available to have some minutes, but he will start from bench. With this, he will look to avoid relapses on his injury. Without being a particularly impressive attacking team, South Africa reached the knockout stage by prioritizing defensive consistency. Therefore, Hugo Broos is expected to stick with his two defensive lines. However, their counterattacks are very dangerous, as they are capable of forcing defensive mistakes from their opponents. Without a striker in top form, they could instead shine through their aerial game, where several players can shine. Cyle Larin #9 of Canada celebrates with Promise David #24 after scoring a goal. South Africa confirmed lineup vs Canada South Africa are looking to upset Canada with a more conservative approach. Head coach Hugo Broos will be without Themba Zwane due to the red card he received in the opening match against Mexico. However, he will keep a similar lineup that helped them shine against South Korea, with Mbekezeli Mbokazi leading the defensive line. In addition, Thapelo Maseko will once again have the task of making the difference in front of goal. With this in mind, South Africa will play as follows: Ronwen Williams; Khuliso Mudau, Ime Okon, Mbekezeli Mbokazi, Aubrey Modiba; Yaya Sithole, Teboho Mokoena; Thapelo Maseko, Relebohile Mofokeng, Oswin Appollis; Evidence Makgopa. Canada confirmed lineup vs South Africa Canada have proven to be one of the most consistent teams at the 2026 World Cup. Relying on an attacking approach, head coach Jesse Marsch has excelled in every aspect, as his team have also been solid defensively. Therefore, they will bet on a similar lineup, looking to dominate the match and impose their goalscoring threat. In addition, Alphonso Davies could be a key impact substitute. Considering this, Canada will lineup as follows: Maxime Crépeau; Alistair Johnston, Luc De Fougerolles, Derek Cornelius, Richie Laryea; Tajon Buchanan, Stephen Eustáquio, Nathan-Dylan Saliba, Liam Millar; Jonathan David, Tani Oluwaseyi.
Canada have managed to remain quite competitive at the 2026 World Cup, qualifying for the Round of 32. Despite this, they have dropped positions in the FIFA Men's World Ranking ahead of their match against South Africa. Under Jesse Marsch, Canada have made an impact at the 2026 World Cup, securing their place in the knockout stage. Although they are coming off a defeat to Switzerland, they secured qualification as the runners-up, surprising everyone with their attacking style of play. Before facing South Africa in the Round of 32, they have dropped a few positions in the FIFA Men’s World Ranking. According to the FIFA Men’s World Ranking, Canada are ranked 32nd place with 1,551.07 points. They have dropped two positions in the ranking after their loss to Switzerland. In recent years, they have managed to significantly improve their international standing compared to their 122nd position in August-October 2014. However, they have yet to match their highest-ever ranking, which was 26th in September of 2025. Even though they are not at the best moment of their career, Canada remain better positioned than South Africa. Hugo Broos’ team are ranked 56th in the FIFA Rankings, gaining positions but still far behind their opponents. This reflects a clear reality in favor of Jesse Marsch’s team: they have a more complete and attacking squad than their rivals, arriving as the clear favorites to advance to the Round of 16. Canada could look to maintain their style of play against South Africa: possession dominance and vertical possession. With this, they would create chances consistently, looking for spaces in the opposition’s resolute defense. However, Jesse Marsch’s team need to be solid defensively, as Hugo Broos’ team could be dangerous on the counterattack or take advantage of their aerial game. Cyle Larin #9 of Canada celebrates with teammates after scoring the team’s first goal Canada aim to make history at the 2026 World Cup Throughout their history, Canada have played in three World Cup editions: 1986, 2022, and the current 2026 tournament. However, this is the first time they have secured their place in the knockout stage, reaching the Round of 32. After their improvement in recent years, Jesse Marsch could lead the national team to make history in the tournament, as they have a golden opportunity to reach the Round of 16 for the first time in their history. As a well-balanced team, Canada enter as the favorites to defeat South Africa. To do so, Jonathan David and Cyle Larin need to deliver their best goalscoring form, creating spaces in the defense. Likewise, Luc De Fougerolles and Derek Cornelius need to counter South Africa’s aerial threat, as that is where they can cause the most damage.
Lionel Messi kicked off his 2026 World Cup campaign with a spectacular hat trick in Argentina’s 3-0 victory over Algeria, earning top honors as Matchday 1 officially wrapped up. Argentina launched their 2026 World Cup journey with a historic masterclass from Lionel Messi. The captain put on a clinic in Kansas City, netting a brilliant hat trick in a commanding 3-0 shutout against Algeria to open Group J play. The performance seamlessly ignited La Albiceleste’s campaign as they begin their official world title defense. Messi’s historic night in North America also saw him draw level with Germany’s Miroslav Klose as the joint all-time top scorer in World Cup history with 16 goals—just one of several feats the captain reached after leading Argentina to the win. That dominant tournament opener also catapulted Messi to the top of the charts as the first round of games concluded. FIFA unveiled its official tournament Power Rankings—a purely data-driven performance indexing model—with the Argentine icon leading the way in the headline metric. For this edition of the tournament, FIFA has categorized player data into three distinct performance pillars: Attacking, Creativity, and Defending. Messi comfortably dictates the pace in the Attacking category, finishing Matchday 1 with a tournament-high 8.13 rating out of a maximum score of 10. The race has begun. 🏁The first FIFA Power Rankings are in after Matchday 1. Who will keep the top spot? #FIFAWorldCup @aramco pic.twitter.com/haK3SVjchM— FIFA World Cup (@FIFAWorldCup) June 18, 2026 Trailing just behind the Argentine star is New Zealand forward Elijah Just, who locked down second place with a 7.74 rating after bagging a brace against Iran. Ivory Coast’s Amad Diallo rounds out the top three attacking performers with a strong 7.47 score. Who leads the other two categories? While Messi reigns supreme in the attacking department, he lands in 11th place on the Creativity chart with a 7.15 rating. That category is currently commanded by Iran’s right-back Ramin Rezaeian, who set the playmaking standard with an impressive 8.02 score. On the Defending side of the ball, Canada’s Derek Cornelius stands alone at the top of the elite performers list with a 7.31 rating, following his physically imposing defensive display in a 1-1 draw against Bosnia and Herzegovina. Austria’s midfield engine Xaver Schlager sits in second place with a 7.11 score after breaking up play cleanly in their 3-1 win over Jordan. Cape Verde’s Willy Semedo rounds out the defensive podium, earning a 6.91 rating after anchoring a historic clean sheet in a shocking 0-0 draw against Spain.
