The 2026 FIFA World Cup is in full swing, and it hasn’t even been a week since the opening match yet there’s plenty of highlights being talked about. The first five days were packed with non-stop football action, and I don’t know where to start.
Whether it’s the chaotic opening match between Mexico and South Africa, the South Koreans mounting a comeback and winning, the heroic Australians beating Türkiye 2-0, Germany and Sweden both winning by five goals or more, or Ivory Coast winning with a 90th minute goal, this tournament has everything.
Anyways, after the previous matchday saw numerous goals but somehow ended up in four draws, today’s set of matches certainly did better than the last. While a win is in no way a foregone conclusion, you can expect goals and nail-biting moments to keep you on the edge of your seat!
In the 25th minute, Senegal played a through ball forward to Nicolas Jackson who beat Dayot Upamecano for pace and shot at the near post. The ball ricocheted off the post and bounced off the feet of a diving Mike Maignan in the French goal and out for a corner.
The last time these two teams faced was the 2002 World Cup in Korea and ******* an, with Senegal securing a historic victory over the then defending European and World Champions. Could the unthinkable happen?
