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.
England will arrive at the tournament’s pulsating heart to find expectations soaring and the streets and bars abuzzThe shirt sellers are out en masse in the streets around Zócalo, the vast main square in Mexico City. The national team have never captured imaginations quite like this and there is almost unlimited demand for a jersey that, even before El Tri sealed a potentially epochal last-16 tie with England, had outsold every other at this World Cup. Three weeks since hosting the opening game Mexico can claim, for a few days at least, to be the tournament’s pulsating heart, and expectations are soaring. “We feel we are going to win,” says Francisco, who is walking along a buzzing Avenida 5 de Mayo. Even in a city notorious for its chaos and bustle there is an extra charge in the cool, thin air here. “It’s going to be difficult but we are all very motivated. Mexico will play a game like the previous one and they are going to beat England.”Francisco is referring to Tuesday night’s win over Ecuador, which secured a first knockout victory since 1986. Even in the fabled, mythologised history of Estadio Azteca it was a night of almost unparalleled fervour. Then there was the situation on the streets. About 1.4 million people are estimated to have watched on outdoor screens despite a vicious pre-match storm that delayed kick-off by an hour. It is some increase on the 400,000 believed to have turned out for Mexico’s first match, a win over South Africa. Tragically it was not always safe, with four people killed in a crush and dozens trapped. Continue reading...
⚽️ Player guide | Golden Boot | Bracket | Mail BeauHello from San Francisco Bay Area Stadium, where as you might expect an extremely pro-USA crowd is filing in. There are certainly more than enough Bosnia and Herzegovina fans here to make some noise should they give them a reason. It’s a beautiful day, sunny and cool in that special Bay Area way (unless you’re in the famously hot upper decks here).Pre-pregame email … Continue reading...
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
It was not a match of high distinction, but all the Socceroos needed was a pass against Paraguay, and their 0-0 draw in San Francisco Bay Area stadium booked a place in the World Cup knockout phase for the third time in their history.A much-changed Australia side controlled large parts of the match, but with both teams knowing that a draw would be enough to qualify for the last 32, there were long stretches without impetus.

Turkey edged past Team USA in a dramatic Group D finale, sealing a 3-2 stoppage-time win and ending the USA’s perfect group run despite their qualification already being secured. In the parallel fixture in San Francisco, Australia held Paraguay to a draw, a result that ensured the Socceroos' qualification for the last 32, with La Albirroja also likely to progress depending on other group outcomes.
