Monte Francis is pleased to welcome Karim Baldé, Sports Journalist and Founder of "Bal des Productions" News Agency. According to Baldé, Zinedine Zidane, as France's new football manager, one of the world's richest and most successful squads, heightening the expectations created by Didier Deschamps' sustained excellence and by a generation of players widely regarded as capable of dominating international football. Bladé suggests that while Zidane's persona and football legacy provides him with immediate credibility, lasting success will depend on translating personal prestige into collective resilience, tactical adaptation, and the cultivation of genuine leadership within the squad.

The Queens Classic – Kerr’s return, Lavelle’s stunner, wildfire smoke and all in between – shows how far the league has come and also where it can still improveTen years ago, a National Women’s Soccer League game at a baseball stadium was a sign of just how far the league had to go. A match during the 2016 season was played at a minor-league ballpark on a woefully small pitch, dubbed “shocking and embarrassing” by the league’s own stars.Come 2026, NWSL games at ballparks are showpiece events. Attendance records were shattered at Chicago’s Wrigley Field and San Francisco’s Oracle Park in the previous two seasons. Wednesday night added another milestone: Gotham FC’s 1-0 win over the Washington Spirit on a hot, hazy night at Citi Field, the regular home of Major League Baseball’s New York Mets, drew the second-largest crowd in league history (42,175) and set the record for the most attended women’s sporting event in the city’s history.

When France plays in the World Cup quarterfinals on July 9, one of their most dedicated fans and housemate will be cheering them on. She’s a 96-year-old American named Shirley, who became a fan thanks to her French caregiver and was even gifted a French football jersey by the team. Our colleagues at France television and Monte Francis introduce us to her.
The group stage of the 2026 World Cup has come to an end, and the 32 qualified teams now know their Round of 32 opponents. The group stage of the 2026 World Cup has reached its conclusion, and the path to the title is finally clear. After 72 matches across 16 venues in the United States, Mexico, and Canada, the full Round of 32 bracket is now set, with every team’s opening knockout opponent, date, and venue confirmed. The expanded 48-team format made this group stage unlike any other in tournament history. With 12 groups of four, only the top two finishers in each group were guaranteed automatic passage to the knockout rounds, while the remaining eight slots went to the best third-placed teams across the entire competition. Among the headlines from the group stage, Argentina, France, and co-hosts Mexico all finished with a perfect nine points from nine, sending an early statement to the rest of the field. However, teams like Germany, Brazil, and Spain also enter the knockout rounds as serious threats, each having shown that they can also be called title contenders. The race for the third-place spots produced some of the tournament’s most dramatic storylines. Ecuador, Sweden, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Paraguay were among the first to punch their tickets, while Senegal, Ghana, Argelia, and DR Congo held their nerve in the closing matchday to round out the group of eight survivors. 🚨OFFICIAL: The Round of 32 matchups for the 2026 World Cup are set pic.twitter.com/3dGF2RBGLa— Bolavip US (@bolavipus) June 28, 2026 2026 World Cup knockout stage schedule With every group finalized, here is the complete schedule for the Round of 32, running from June 28 to July 3: Sunday, June 28 South Africa vs Canada — Los Angeles Stadium Monday, June 29 Germany vs Paraguay — Boston StadiumNetherlands vs Morocco — Monterrey StadiumBrazil vs Japan — Houston Stadium Tuesday, June 30 France vs Sweden — New York New Jersey StadiumIvory Coast vs Norway — Dallas StadiumMexico vs Ecuador — Mexico City Stadium Wednesday, July 1 England vs DR Congo — Atlanta StadiumUSA vs Bosnia and Herzegovina — San Francisco Bay Area StadiumBelgium vs Senegal — Seattle Stadium Thursday, July 2 Portugal vs Croatia — Toronto StadiumSpain vs Austria — Los Angeles StadiumSwitzerland vs Algeria — Vancouver Stadium Friday, July 3 Argentina vs Cape Verde — Miami StadiumColombia vs Ghana — Kansas City StadiumAustralia vs Egypt — Dallas Stadium
Paraguay and Australia clash on Matchday 3 of Group D at the 2026 World Cup, with everything on the line in a high-stakes battle for knockout stage qualification. Paraguay face Australia at San Francisco Bay Area Stadium on 2026 World Cup Matchday 3 of Group D, setting the stage for a dramatic, definitive showdown where both teams control their own destiny in pursuit of the Round of 32. Gustavo Alfaro’s squad endured a nightmare start to their campaign after suffering a heavy 4-1 defeat at the hands of the USMNT in their opener. However, the South Americans showed immense resilience on Matchday 2, grinding out a vital 1-0 victory over Turkiye. That gutsy triumph revived Paraguay‘s tournament, leaving them with three points and a golden opportunity to lock up a second-place finish. To do so, however, they must overcome an Australian side sitting in the exact same position. The Socceroos kicked off their Group D run with a solid 2-0 victory over Turkiye, but subsequently hit a roadblock against the tournament co-hosts, falling 2-0 to the United States. As a result, this final group fixture stands as a virtual playoff, with the winner guaranteed to progress behind the USMNT. Matias Galarza #23 of Paraguay celebrates a goal vs Turkiye. (Getty Images) What happens if Paraguay beat Australia? If Paraguay defeat Australia at the San Francisco Bay Area Stadium, La Albirroja will automatically punch their ticket to the Round of 32, securing the group’s second-place seed right behind the United States. What happens if Paraguay and Australia draw? Should the match end in a stalemate, Australia will claim the second-place spot in Group D by virtue of a superior goal differential. Nevertheless, all hope would not be lost for the South Americans. A draw would leave Paraguay with four points, giving them an incredibly strong chance to advance to the knockout rounds as one of the tournament’s eight best third-place wild cards. What happens if Paraguay lose to Australia? A victory for the Socceroos would see the oceanian side advance directly into the Round of 32 as the second seed out of the group. Under this scenario, Paraguay would be left in a precarious position with just three points, leaving their qualification hopes hanging entirely on the final third-place wild-card tiebreakers.
Bosnia and Herzegovina always knew boosting their goals-scored column would enhance their chances of advancing to the knockout stage for the first time. It was no wonder, then, that thousands of their supporters went berserk when Ermin Mahmic added a potentially crucial third goal in a victory that eliminated Qatar. The goal of the game undoubtedly belonged to the exciting 18-year-old Kerim Alajbegovic, but Mahmic’s sealed the win, third in Group B and a probable last-32 date with the USA in Santa Clara, at the home of the San Francisco 49ers.There were jubilant scenes at the final whistle. Sead Kolasinac, one of only two players from their last World Cup appearance in 2014, clenched his fists as the other, Edin Dzeko, after his 150th cap, embraced staff, bear hugs the order of the day. Mahmic, a 21-year-old who until May was still an Austrian youth international, was in tears. It was the same in the stands, where one supporter held aloft his blue-and-yellow scarf, lips quivering, before a victory lap ensued. There was a squad photo and then both fans and players bounced in unison. The sound over the speakers? The Bosnian rock band Dubioza Kolektiv’s track USA, of course. Continue reading...
