Dan Riccio and Blake Price recap a historic day of Round of 16 action on The 90th Minute as Argentina escapes a 2-0 deficit and Switzerland wins on penalties. The Round of 16 of the 2026 FIFA World Cup has just delivered one of the greatest single-elimination thrillers in modern football history.

Listen to the full tactical matchday breakdown on Spotify to catch up on the complete analysis. The program leads with a comprehensive autopsy of Argentina’s miraculous 3-2 victory over Egypt in Atlanta. Hossam Hassan’s clinical Pharaohs threatened one of the biggest shocks in tournament history, exploiting the high defensive line to build a stunning 2-0 lead through Yasser Ibrahim and Mostafa Zico, while goalkeeper Mostafa Shobeir brilliantly denied a Lionel Messi penalty. However, the reigning world champions mounted an unprecedented, late 14-minute siege. Cristian Romero initiated the lifeline in the 79th minute, Lionel Messi struck a blistering equalizer to notch his 8th tournament goal, and Enzo Fernández hammered home a dramatic 92nd-minute match-winner—marking the 3,000th goal in World Cup history. The hosts dissect the intense refereeing controversies and the structural adjustments that rescued the tournament favorites from the brink. The analysis then transitions into a gritty, ultra-defensive battle between Switzerland and Colombia. Following 120 minutes of tense, scoreless tactical chess where the Swiss backline completely suffocated a passive Colombian attack, Switzerland held their nerve to prevail in a high-stakes penalty shootout. The guys evaluate Switzerland’s structural defensive shape and explain why their organized low-block continues to look incredibly difficult to dismantle in single-elimination football. The episode concludes by laying out the highly anticipated Quarterfinal landscape. With both tournament survivors locking in their places, Argentina and Switzerland are officially set for a massive blockbuster showdown on Saturday in Kansas.

“After review,” began the Polish referee Szymon Marciniak, those two words breaking the hearts of Iran after they thought they scrambled an unlikely 93rd-minute winner. Moments earlier, the 37-year-old Shoja Khalilzadeh fired in from the edge of the six-yard box, whipped off his No 4 shirt in double-quick time and slid on to his knees before being mobbed by his teammates and nestled at the bottom of a pile-on. One member of Iran’s backroom team collapsed onto his back on the turf amid the delirium. Another planted a kiss on Khalilzadeh’s forehead before the defender donned a pair of sunglasses given to him by one of the many substitutes who had swiftly emptied on to the pitch.But the joy was short-lived, Marciniak playing party-pooper after a VAR review showed Khalilzadeh offside after Mostafa Shobeir rushed from his goal to punch clear the free-kick from which Iran thought they had snatched victory. And the late drama did not stop there either. Seventeen seconds after the minimum of six minutes of second-half stoppage time, Yasser Ibrahim made a monumental block to repel Ramin Rezaeian’s shot after the ball squirted free and then six minutes and 53 seconds into added time Iran’s Saeid Ezatolahi sent a header against the crossbar. Shoubir, who was magnificent in the Egypt goal, moved his hands towards the ball but was beaten. Continue reading...
Belgium and Egypt are opening Group G in the 2026 World Cup, with Mohamed Salah included in the starting lineup. Belgium and Egypt open Group G of the 2026 World Cup on Monday, June 16, in a marquee matchup at Lumen Field in Seattle. On the fifth day of competition at the tournament, the most pressing question surrounding the game has been whether Mohamed Salah will feature for Egypt. Salah has been named in Egypt‘s starting lineup for the World Cup opener against Belgium. Head coach Hossam Hassan left him out of the friendly against Russia as a precaution, but Salah returned to action against Brazil and showed he is in sharp form heading into the tournament. Egypt arrive at the competition having come through the CAF qualifying campaign unbeaten, and also carrying some frustration from the Africa Cup of Nations, where they were eliminated at the semifinal stage. One of the strongest sides on the African continent, this marks Egypt’s fourth World Cup participation and is widely expected to be the last featuring their all-time greatest player. Belgium, while not among the outright favorites for the title, enter the tournament in excellent form. The Red Devils went unbeaten through UEFA qualifying and have carried that consistency into the pre-tournament period, crushing the United States 5-2 and drawing 1-1 with Mexico in March before recording a 2-0 win over Croatia and a dominant 5-0 victory over Tunisia in their most recent friendly outings. Their last defeat came against Ukraine in March 2025. Belgium fans arrive at the Seattle Stadium before the World Cup game against Egypt.

Egypt’s confirmed lineup (4-2-3-1): Mostafa Shobeir; Mohamed Hany, Yasser Ibrahim, Hamdy Fathy, Ahmed Fatouh; Mohanad Lasheen, Marwan Attia; Mohamed Salah, Eman Ashour, Mostafa Ziko; Omar Marmoush.Head coach: Hossam Hassan.
Brazil and Egypt are set to meet in one of the final tune-up matches before the 2026 FIFA World Cup, with much of the attention focused on Neymar. Brazil are just one week away from their debut at the 2026 FIFA World Cup and, as a final test before that challenge, they will face Egypt in an international friendly on Saturday. Neymar will not be part of the squad as he continues the final stages of his recovery from a calf injury. Carlo Ancelotti was optimistic this week when discussing Ney’s physical progress. “He is doing excellent individual work,” said the coach before explaining that the forward will undergo medical tests on Saturday to assess his current condition. “If everything goes well, he will rejoin the main group next week.” Beyond Neymar’s situation, Brazil have an interesting test ahead as they look to gauge their form before the start of the 2026 FIFA World Cup. Last weekend’s friendly against Panama, despite ending in a convincing 6-2 victory, raised some concerns about the team’s overall play, considering the starters held only a 2-1 lead at halftime before the substitutes shined in the second half. This Saturday at Huntington Bank Field in Cleveland, Ohio, the South American giants will face a much tougher challenge against Egypt. Mohamed Salah and his teammates have proven to be a difficult opponent and will force Brazil to raise their level if they want a positive result. Carlo Ancelotti, Head Coach of Brazil. Confirmed Brazil lineup In addition to Neymar’s absence, Carlo Ancelotti will be without a few other players who are still working their way back to full fitness ahead of the World Cup. That includes Gabriel Magalhaes, who played in the UEFA Champions League final with Arsenal just one week ago and will be on the bench. With that in mind, the confirmed lineup to face Egypt is: Alisson; Wesley, Marquinhos, Ibanez, Douglas Santos; Casemiro, Bruno Guimaraes, Lucas Paqueta; Raphinha, Igor Thiago, Vinicius Junior. Confirmed Egypt lineup Egypt will open their 2026 FIFA World Cup campaign on Monday, June 15, against Belgium in Group G, making this match against Brazil their final tune-up before official competition begins in North America after last week’s 1-0 win over Russia. The confirmed lineup selected by head coach Hossam Hassan is: Mostafa Shobeir; Ahmed Fattouh, Hamdy Fathy, Yasser Ibrahim, Mohamed Hany; Marwan Ateya, Mohanad Lasheen, Mostafa Ziko, Trezeguet, Haissem Hassan, Omar Marmoush.
