Manzambi wanted to stop goals. Now he’s scoring them for Switzerland at World Cup.

Published by Webster

5 min readNew DelhiJul 7, 2026 06:03 PM IST By Madhav Sachdeva Originally aspiring to become a goalkeeper, young Swiss star Johan Manzambi wanted to prevent goals rather than score them. As a boy playing on the pitches of Geneva, he spent hours mimicking Manuel Neuer’s famous “sweeper-keeper” style, rushing off his line to clear balls with his feet. This drill laid the foundation for his future, as he developed composure on the ball by playing out from the goal, built a distinct game awareness, and transformed his playing identity. Early Journey Manzambi was born in Geneva, Switzerland, to an Angolan mother who was a victim of political persecution and a father who fled the Democratic Republic of the Congo during a period of intense internal conflict at the turn of the century. His early years were dedicated to sports, as his father introduced him to a ball when he was just four years old, hoping his son could realise the footballing dream he never could. His elder brother, Neftali, paved the way for him …

Netherlands vs Morocco FIFA World Cup 2026 Football Match Live Score: Monday night’s matchup between the Netherlands and Morocco will be the highest ranked match in the round of 32. The Netherlands — ranked No. 7 — topped Group F after a draw against Japan and big wins over Sweden and Tunisia. Sixth-ranked Morocco fought to a 1-1 draw against Brazil in its opener before beating Scotland and Haiti to finish second in Group C. The Netherlands have long held the moniker of the best never to have won the tournament, having lost all three finals it played. The Dutch’s most recent final loss was to Spain in extra time in 2010, which was also the last time the Netherlands lost a World Cup game in 120 minutes. The Dutch haven’t lost in six previous World Cup matches against African countries. In 2022, Morocco defeated Spain and Portugal to become the first African team to reach the semifinals of the World Cup before losing to France. The Atlas Lions were also declared winners of the …

Portugal vs Colombia FIFA World Cup 2026 Match Live Score: (AP Photo) FIFA World Cup 2026 Game Today Live Score: Portugal face Colombia in their final group match of the 2026 FIFA World Cup at the Miami Stadium. Both sides are through to the Round of 32 but this is not quite a dead rubber as the winner of this game finishes top of Group K. An interesting sub-plot is how Portugal captain Cristiano Ronaldo will fare after finally getting a couple of goals in this tournament against Uzbekistan. While Ronaldo and Portugal’s performances were praised, it also came with the caveat that they were expected to beat Uzbekistan in the comprehensive way that they did. Colombia presents a much stiffer challenge in almost every department. Another interesting point is that the match is happening Miami Stadium, home of Inter Miami for whom Ronaldo’s great rival Lionel Messi plies his trade in the Major League Soccer.

Brazil vs Scotland FIFA World Cup 2026 Live Score: BRA take on SCO in Miami. FIFA World Cup 2026 Match Today Live Score: Brazil and Scotland will face off in a crucial encounter in Miami on Wednesday night with Round of 32 implications. While Brazil are sure to finish as Group leaders if they draw or win against Scotland and if Morocco fail to beat Haiti, the Scottish warriors will strengthen their place as the best third-placed team if they can come away with a point. If they beat Brazil, they are guaranteed to finish with 6 points and finish in the top two. Carlo Ancelotti’s team looked decent against a weak Haiti side where they thrashed the minnows 3-0 last week with Matheus Cunha grabbing a brace and Vinicius Jr chipping in with another goal. But they still look far away from the free-flowing Samba side of yore. On Wednesday night, they’ll have the services of their superstar Neymar back so it’ll be interesting to see if he’ll come back into the line up …
