⚽️ Kick-off time: 8pm local/1pm AEST/4am BST/11pm EDT⚽️ Third-place table | Player guide | Golden Boot | Mail Sam⚽️ Egypt 1-1 Iran – get live reaction with Jonathan HowcroftNew Zealand, meanwhile, will be kicking themselves for not taking more from their ultimate 3-1 loss against Egypt. An excellent headed goal to Finn Surman in the 15th minute epitomised the All Whites’ dominant first-half display, staying compact and disciplined in defence and charging forward with direct long balls and overlaps in attack.But Egypt, led by their talismanic captain Mohamed Salah, came roaring back in the second half, coming from behind to score three unanswered goals and rocket to the top of the group as a result.“It’s frustrating,” Bazeley said after the Egypt match. “We played so well in the first half. We scored a great goal, created lots of chances, felt like we were dominating possession a lot of the time in the first half, and we were comfortable. We weren’t really getting hurt.“We talked well at half-time, looked at some things we can do a little bit better, we went out second half and we just weren’t able to recreate the tempo and quality that we showed in the first half.”Their record at major tournaments now reads two wins from their past nine matches, one from their past six, against Romania at Euro 2024. They have had a total of 38 shots in their opening two games in the US without scoring themselves, their sole goal coming courtesy of the Egypt defender Mohamed Hany. They missed the energy of Jérémy Doku, who was absent through illness, while Romelu Lukaku, making his first start for club or country for more than 12 months, huffed and puffed in attack.Sometimes when you have to win, sometimes that’s the best situation. Obviously we had wished to start better. But, just like cyclists, we have to keep pedalling on and on and show we deserve to move on to the round of 32. Continue reading...

Iran and New Zealand are set to launch their 2026 World Cup runs, with viral sensation Tim Payne expected to be in the starting eleven. Iran and New Zealand are set to clash on Monday, June 15, for Matchday 1 of Group G at the 2026 World Cup inside SoFi Stadium, temporarily rebranded as Los Angeles Stadium. While both squads are desperate to secure a crucial opening result, much of the pre-game spotlight is focused on whether viral social media sensation Tim Payne will take the pitch. Payne has been included in the starting lineup for the World Cup opener against Iran. As a mainstay in the All Whites’ starting eleven at right back, Payne logged heavy minutes in New Zealand‘s final pre-tournament tune-up against England, proving he has the match fitness required for the biggest stage in soccer. New Zealand enters the tournament as a heavy underdog, a tag justified not only by their standing as the lowest-ranked nation in the 48-team field (No. 85 in the FIFA rankings) but also by their brutal recent form. Having suffered nine defeats alongside one draw and just a single victory over their last 11 outings, back-to-back friendly losses to England (1-0) and Haiti (4-0) have kept expectations low for the Oceanic side. Conversely, Iran enters the matchup as the distinct favorite, carrying plenty of momentum after dispatching Gambia 3-1 and Mali 2-0 in their final two pre-World Cup friendlies. While those opponents may be lower-tier sides, the convincing victories have allowed Team Melli to arrive in Southern California in peak competitive form. Mexican fans gathered at the Iranian national team’s hotel. While Monday marks the first time these two nations have met in a World Cup setting, it is not their first head-to-head battle. Their history dates back to a scoreless friendly draw in 1973, followed by a commanding 3-0 Iran victory in 2003 when the sides faced off in the now-defunct AFC-OFC Challenge Cup. Confirmed lineups for Iran vs New Zealand Iran’s confirmed lineup (4-4-2): Alireza Beiranvand; Ramin Rezaeian, Ali Nemati, Shoja Khalilzadeh, Milad Mohammadi; Aria Yousefi, Saman Ghoddos, Saeid Ezatolahi, Mohammad Mohebi; Shahriar Moghanlou, Mehdi Taremi.Head coach: Amir Ghalenoei. New Zealand’s confirmed lineup (4-2-3-1): Max Crocombe; Tim Payne, Finn Surman, Michael Boxall, Liberato Cacace; Joe Bell, Marko Stamenic; Callum McCowatt, Sarpreet Singh, Eli Just; Chris Wood.Head coach: Darren Bazeley.
The game between Haiti and New Zealand, expected to kick off at 8 PM ET, suffered a sudden delay leaving the fans in awe. Haiti and New Zealand were set to clash on Tuesday, June 2, in an international friendly as both nations fine-tune their preparations for the upcoming 2026 World Cup. However, with kickoff originally scheduled for 8:00 PM Eastern Time, the highly anticipated matchup hit a sudden delay. Staged at Chase Stadium in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, former home of Inter Miami, the venue was pounded by a severe weather front bringing heavy electrical storms and torrential downpours, preventing both squads from taking the pitch for their standard pre-match warm-ups. Given the high stakes of the pre-World Cup tune-up, match officials determined the waterlogged pitch was unplayable, while the persistent threat of lightning strikes posed an immediate safety hazard. The severe weather forced stadium authorities and the refereeing crew to delay the opening whistle to protect the safety of the players and fans. Despite the heavy winds and driving rain hammering South Florida, tournament organizers confirmed the match will proceed as scheduled once the storm passes and the playing surface is deemed safe. Both the Haiti and New Zealand squads remained inside their respective locker rooms while monitoring the meteorological updates. Event staff then officially rescheduled the new kickoff time for 8:36 PM local time, allowing the match to get underway safely. Warmups (finally) underway 🇳🇿🇭🇹⛈️NEW KICKOFF TIME 8:36 LOCAL / 12:36PM NZ ⏰Watch live on TVNZ and FIFA+ 🎥 pic.twitter.com/feRciH5oPi— New Zealand Football 🇳🇿 (@NZ_Football) June 3, 2026 Haiti and New Zealand looking to make history in 2026 World Cup Both Haiti and New Zealand possess remarkably thin World Cup resumes, having previously combined for just three tournament appearances. The Caribbean nation’s sole foray onto the global stage came back in 1974, while the All Whites previously qualified in 1982 and 2010, meaning the 2026 showcase in North America represents a historic opportunity for both programs. When they kick off tournament play, both squads will be hunting for their first-ever World Cup victory; Haiti previously suffered three straight defeats in their lone appearance, while New Zealand has registered three draws and three losses across their six matches. Slated as heavy underdogs in Group C (alongside Brazil, Morocco, and Scotland) and Group G (featuring Belgium, Egypt, and Iran) respectively, a single group-stage win would secure an iconic milestone for either nation. Confirmed lineups for New Zealand and Haiti Haiti’s confirmed lineup (4-2-3-1): Johny Placide; Carlens Arcus, Ricardo Ade, Duke Lacroix, Jean-Kevin Duverne; Dominique Simon, Danley Jean Jacques; Josue Casimir, Jean-Ricner Bellegarde, Lenny Joseph; Wilson Isidor.Head coach: Sebastien Migne. New Zealand’s confirmed lineup (4-2-3-1): Alez Paulsen; Tim Payne, Finn Surman, Tyler Bindon, Liberato Cacace; Alex Rufer, Marko Stamenic; Eli Just, Sarpreet Singh, Jesse Randall; Chris Wood.Head coach: Darren Bazeley
Inter Miami are hosting the Philadelphia Union for the 2026 MLS in what will be Lionel Messi's last official game prior to the beginning of the 2026 World Cup. Inter Miami are set to host the Philadelphia Union on Sunday, May 24th, for a high-stakes MLS matchup at Nu Stadium. With this serving as Lionel Messi‘s final club appearance before joining Argentina for the 2026 World Cup, the Argentine star will be looking to keep fitness by taking part of the game. Lionel Messi has been included in the starting lineup against the Philadelphia Union. The Argentine icon has logged the full 90 minutes in each of his last 10 MLS appearances, and with the World Cup just around the corner, he is looking to accumulate valuable competitive minutes to ensure he enters tournament play in peak form. The Herons enter the weekend riding the momentum of a convincing 2-0 victory over the Portland Timbers last Sunday. That result snapped a frustrating winless drought at Nu Stadium, securing their historic first win at the new venue after an initial stretch of three draws and a loss. Backed by a three-game MLS winning streak, Inter Miami currently sits second in the Eastern Conference standings with 28 points through 14 matches, trailing only league leaders Nashville SC, who pace the conference with 33 points. Conversely, the Philadelphia Union have devolved into a mere shadow of the squad that captured the 2025 Supporters’ Shield. Hampered by the high-profile departures of Tai Baribo, Kai Wagner, and Jakob Glesnes, head coach Bradley Carnell has struggled to find answers with a depleted roster. Currently anchored to the bottom of the table with just seven points through 14 games, the Union are desperate to break out of a brutal seven-match winless slide that includes four draws and three defeats. Lionel Messi #10 of Inter Miami CF controls the ball against Finn Surman #20 of the Portland Timbers. Messi puts up staggering numbers in May Following a string of disappointing setbacks in both the CONCACAF Champions Cup and early MLS action, Javier Mascherano made the decision to step down as Inter Miami’s manager. Under the guidance of new boss Guillermo Hoyos, the Herons have shown immense improvement, largely fueled by Messi’s spectacular individual tear throughout the month of May. Beginning with the Florida Derby against Orlando City on May 2nd, and stretching through matches against Toronto FC, FC Cincinnati, and Portland, Messi has racked up four goals and four assists. With eight direct goal contributions over that span, another standout performance on Sunday could very well secure MLS Player of the Month honors for the legendary playmaker. Confirmed lineups for Inter Miami and Philadelphia Union Inter Miami’s confirmed lineups (4-3-3): Dayne St. Clair; Ian Fray, Gonzalo Lujan, Micael, Sergio Reguilon; Rodrigo De Paul, Yannick Bright, Telasco Segovia; Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez, German Berterame.Head coach: Guillermo Hoyos. Philadelphia Union’s confirmed lineups (4-4-2): Andre Blake; Frankie Westfield, Geiner Martinez, Nathan Harriel, Ben Bender; Cavan Sullivan, Jovan Lukic, Danley Jean Jacques, Agustin Anello; Milan Iloski, Bruno Damiani.Head coach: Bradley Carnell.
