Bellingham got to the record when he slotted past France’s Mike Maignan in the 90+8 minutes to grab England’s 6th goal of the match in a 10-goal thriller in Miami. In the match, England held off a stunning France fightback to claim a 6-4 victory, securing third place for their best World Cup finish since their sole title triumph in 1966.

Argentina vs Switzerland Live Score, FIFA World Cup 2026 Quarterfinal Match Updates: On one side of the field will be Argentina, the defending World Cup champions, boasting a roster that features the likes of Lautaro Martinez, Julián Alvarez and, of course, Lionel Messi, perhaps the greatest player of his generation. On the other side, Switzerland. Yes, the final quarterfinal match Saturday night could hardly seem a bigger mismatch. Argentina has the glitz and the glamour, to say nothing of the stars and the trophies, while the Swiss have never even reached the World Cup semifinals; in fact, they haven’t been to the quarterfinals since 1954, when they lost to Austria in a tournament they hosted. Story continues below this ad But anything can happen on the field as Argentina and the rest of the world learned when the three-time champions struggled to beat Cape Verde, and when La Albiceleste had to rally from a 2-0 deficit in the final 11 minutes to beat Egypt on Tuesday.

(Photo: AP) Spain vs Belgium World Cup 2026 Match Result Live: Spain take on Belgium in a clash of European giants in the quarter-finals of the FIFA World Cup on Friday night. Spain hasn’t lost and hasn’t even conceded a single goal at this year’s World Cup. La Roja is unbeaten in 36 straight competitive matches since March 2023. This lofty standard of play clearly doesn’t scare Belgium, which is on a surging trajectory of its own heading into the teams’ World Cup quarter-final. While Spain has been Europe’s most consistent winner for the past 3 1/2 years, Belgium has played its way into position for what could be the final chance for its golden generation to do something spectacular together.

3 goals in 13 minutes: How Argentina kept Cup dreams alive

Mumbai: A long, hopeful cross was floated in from the right flank by Lautaro Martinez. There was only one Argentina player available in the box. The delivery was perfect, Enzo Fernandez’s jump was perfect. The header even better. Lionel Messi celebrates the team’s third goal scored by Enzo Fernandez. (Getty Images via AFP) Argentina, for the second time in as many matches were stretched, but earned a hard-fought 3-2 win over Egypt. It was breathless stuff, especially in the second half, and for the second game Messi’s side came through. This however, at the Atlanta Stadium on Tuesday night, was a match that had seemingly slipped away from their grasp. Deep into the end of the second half, Argentina needed a miracle. It is in these moments that they turn to their man. And Lionel Messi delivered once again. But it was the entire team, each player showing the qualities of a champion team. For the 11th time in their World Cup history, Argentina were trailing at half-time. This was the first time they went …

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 …
