Kylian Mbappé scored a penalty in the 70th minute to lead France past Paraguay 1-0 in a 2026 World Cup round-of-16 match in Philadelphia, advancing France to the quarterfinals.
In the 2026 World Cup round-of-16 match on the morning of July 5, 2569 at Philadelphia Stadium in the United States, Paraguay faced France. France dominated possession and attacked more than expected, while Paraguay played an organized, defensive approach by sitting deep. This made it difficult for France to break through Paraguay's defensive line. The turning point came in the 70th minute when France earned a penalty kick, which Kylian Mbappé converted flawlessly to give France a 1-0 lead. This was Mbappé's seventh goal of the tournament, taking the golden boot lead over Argentina's Lionel Messi, who has scored six goals, though Mbappé has two assists to his credit. It was also Mbappé's 19th goal in World Cup history across all tournaments. In the remaining time, Paraguay opened up their attack to seek an equalizer, while France controlled the ball and managed the tempo of the match, occasionally launching counterattacks. The final score remained 1-0, with France advancing to the quarterfinals of the 2026 World Cup. France will face Morocco on July 9, 2569 at 03:00 (early morning on July 10, 2569).
Spain goalkeeper Unai Simon warns that Cristiano Ronaldo remains a threat in the penalty area ahead of their 2026 World Cup knockout clash on July 7, despite the Portuguese star's decline from his peak years.
Spain goalkeeper Unai Simon stated that Cristiano Ronaldo, the Portuguese superstar, remains dangerous even though he is no longer at his peak. Spain will face Portugal in the 2026 World Cup Round of 16 on July 7 at 2:00 AM Thailand time. In recent comments, Simon discussed Ronaldo, saying: "He's not the same player he was six or seven years ago during his peak, but we must try our best to keep him away from the penalty area as much as possible." "Inside the box, he can create chances for himself. With his experience, he understands exactly what he needs to do. He likes to stay near the penalty spot and reads those situations very well." Simon also addressed issues Spain needs to correct from their recent UEFA Nations League match against Portugal, which they lost on penalties. "We didn't play smoothly. Their pressure was very intense. If we get eliminated, I hope it's because they played better than us, not because we failed to reach our level."
Aston Villa midfielder Morgan Rogers has cast doubt on his £130 million valuation despite strong performances that have attracted Arsenal's interest, saying he remains focused on developing his game rather than transfer speculation.
Morgan Rogers, England's midfielder competing in the 2026 World Cup, has acknowledged doubts about whether he truly merits a £130 million price tag circulating in recent transfer rumors, even as his form at Aston Villa remains strong.
Currently playing for Premier League side Aston Villa, Rogers has attracted interest from Arsenal, the reigning season champions. However, given his excellent recent performances and long-term contract, Arsenal could face a substantial fee to secure his signing.
Rogers stated: "I'm not certain I'm worth that kind of money. Of course, it feels good hearing that from other people, but I won't let rumors influence me. I'll stay focused, be myself, and continue working to develop my game."
The 23-year-old joined Villa in 2024 before quickly establishing himself as a key player and contributing to the team's UEFA Europa League championship last season. In the current World Cup campaign, he has made three appearances.

Morocco advanced to the 2026 World Cup semifinals after a dominant 3-0 victory over Canada on July 4, with goals from Ounahi twice and Rahimi following a tactical shift in the second half.
Morocco's head coach Mohamed Ouhabi praised his team's excellent tactical adjustment in the second half that secured victory, while Canada's coach Jesse Marsch believes his team played better but was only lacking in attacking precision. In the 2026 World Cup Round of 16 on July 4, Morocco decisively defeated co-host Canada 3-0. Goals came from Azzedine Ounahi in the 50th and 82nd minutes, and Sofyan Rahimi in the 90+8th minute. Morocco advanced to the semifinal round and will face the winner of the Paraguay-France match on July 9. Ouhabi stated: "The opponent planned cleverly and played with high-pressure tactics. We adjusted our approach in the second half. We needed more patience building play through midfield. Our players adapted brilliantly to the tactical change, and that difference led us to victory." Marsch said: "We were the better team. Although they had higher quality in attack, we played fully committed without defensive focus. I preferred our team spirit over theirs. No matter how good Morocco is, I'd still rather be our team. I'm very happy with my team."

French coach Algerve Renard has resigned after just two matches leading Tunisia at the 2026 World Cup, with the team eliminated in the group stage after losing all three matches without scoring a point.
French coach Algerve Renard has resigned from his position as head coach of Tunisia's national football team after taking charge for just two matches at the 2026 World Cup, with the team eliminated in the group stage.
Tunisia had dismissed previous coach Sabri Lamouchi following a 5-1 loss to Sweden in their opening Group F match, bringing in Renard as a mid-tournament replacement on June 16. However, Tunisia's situation only worsened under his tenure. The team then lost 4-0 to Japan and 3-1 to Netherlands, finishing all three group matches without a single point and exiting as the fourth-place team in their group.
Renard posted on Instagram: "Before I leave, I want to thank the Tunisian Football Federation for giving me the opportunity to be part of the 2026 World Cup. I felt honored to work with Tunisia, and I wish the team all the best in the future."
Ironically, Renard was originally supposed to coach Saudi Arabia at this World Cup after having guided them through Asian qualifying, but he was fired on April 17 shortly before the tournament started.

In the opening 20 minutes, Morocco controlled possession but Canada generated four shooting chances, with two on target. The first half ended goalless. Early in the second half at the 50-minute mark, Achraf Hakimi set up Azzedine Ounaahi for Morocco's opener. Ounaahi struck again in the 82nd minute to extend the lead to 2-0. In the 90+8th minute, Sofyan Rahimi sealed the victory with a third goal, giving Morocco a commanding 3-0 win.
