FIFA World Cup recap: Neymar returns, Morocco suffer scare, Messi birthday bash | Football News

4 min readJun 25, 2026 06:35 AM IST Brazil made short work of Scotland with a 3-0 win courtesy of a brace by the mercurial Vinicius Jr and a lone strike from Matheus Cunha. The result enabled the Selecao to top their group stage for the 12th consecutive World Cups. One of the biggest stories coming out from the match though is the return of Neymar Jr in Brazil colours since October 2023. The 34-year-old had been recovering from a calf strain and last played for Santos in Brazil’s top flight on May 17. The Brazil superstar checked in during the 76th minute against Scotland with the team leading 3-0 and well on its way to clinching a spot in the knockout stage that starts next week. Neymar is Brazil’s career scoring leader with 79 goals in 129 international appearances entering Wednesday. The 34-year-old appeared in each of the past three World Cups for Brazil, scoring eight goals. “We played well, it was much like the match against Haiti (a 3-0 win). It was a …

4 min readUpdated: Jun 23, 2026 07:59 AM IST On the day he missed a penalty, Lionel Messi scripted history with two goals in Argentina’s FIFA World Cup group stage game against Austria. The brace meant that Messi has scored all five of Argentina’s goals in their 2026 World Cup campaign. Thanks to the two goals, Messi raced away to a record-breaking 18 goals at FIFA World Cups, leaving behind Miroslav Klose at 16. Victory also meant that Messi has won 18 matches at the World Cup as a player, overtaking Klose’s 17. With his first goal versus Austria, Messi has now opened the scoring in seven of Argentina’s last nine World Cup fixtures. He also became only the third player in World Cup history to score in six consecutive games after France’s Just Fontaine in 1958 and Brazil’s Jairzinho in 1970. Argentina coach summed up his thoughts about his captain in one single sentence: “I have no more words to talk about Leo,” Scaloni said. Messi, on the other hand, was more enthused by …

FIFA World Cup recap: Misery for Ronaldo, Harry Kane gets lucky break | Football News

Published by Webster

In England’s first game of the FIFA World Cup 2026 (against Croatia), captain Harry Kane joined the league of elite forwards currently operating at the World Cup to score two goals or more in their team’s opener. It’s an elite group that includes Argentina’s Lionel Messi (hat-trick against Algeria), Norway’s Erling Haaland (two goals against Iraq), France’s Kylian Mbappe (two goals against Senegal) and Germany’s Kai Havertz (two goals against Curacao). Who is yet to join this group is Cristiano Ronaldo, who had a wretched game against Congo, going goalless after having just two shots in the whole game. Congo ended up holding Ronaldo’s Portugal to a 1-1 draw with Joao Neves’s 6th minute goal getting cancelled out by Yoane Wisse’s strike in the first half. Ronaldo’s two shots came in the 68th minute and the 73rd minute, both off target. After the game, Portugal coach Roberto Martínez was repeatedly asked if he considered taking out Ronaldo on Wednesday. “It makes no sense to get the best world scorer to be out when you need …

FIFA World Cup day 4 recap: Curacao lose history-making game; Dutch drop points | Football News

Published by Webster

Before the World Cup began, a video of the Curacao team went viral. In it, the players are arriving in an old-fashioned blue school bus with no windows, players sticking their arms out and banging away on the metal exterior from the outside. The video was meant to portray the down-to-earth vibe of the team headed to its first ever World Cup. On Sunday, though, Curacao were dreaming of their campaign taking flight in Houston, the space capital of the USA. For a brief phase, fans and players even dared to day dream of an upset over Germany. Never mind that they were playing their first-ever game in the country’s history at the FIFA World Cup or that their opponents have won the World Cup four times. Never mind that it’s a tiny island in the Caribbean with a population of just over 1,58,000 inhabitants and a land area of 171 square miles. Never mind that their opponents, with a population of 83.6 million, are the most populous country in the European Union and the …

FIFA World Cup day 3 recap: Brazil held by Morocco; Qatar steal a point | Football News

Published by Webster

3 min readJun 14, 2026 08:27 AM IST It took two moments of brilliance to seal the fate of the Brazil versus Morocco game. It was a 1-1 draw at the end. But an entertaining one. In the 21st minute of their FIFA World Cup opener on Saturday, Ismael Saibari scored from a delightful chip over the on-rushing Alisson Becker after being released on goal with the passes of the tournament so far: a through ball from Brahim Diaz which raced past two Brazil central defenders, and then slowed down just in time for Saibari to get to it before Alisson and lift it over the keeper’s body. But Morocco’s joy was short-lived. Vinicius Junior, playing on the left wing for Brazil, had some magic of his own to sprinkle on the game. Just 11 minutes after Morocco took the lead, Vinicius was released on the left flank by Bruno Guimares, got to the ball, cut it back, beat Morocco’s Neil al Aynaoui with a delightful slight of foot, and then smashed a curling effort …

4 min readUpdated: Jun 12, 2026 06:17 AM IST The FIFA World Cup began in Mexico City on Thursday night (Friday morning in India) with a power-packed series of performances from local Mexican artists and a show-stopping performance from a certain Shakira during the Opening Ceremony. Salma Hayek was a surprise performer. But the real headline act of day 1 of the FIFA World Cup proved to be the clash between Mexico and South Africa which the host nation won 2-0. It was a game that saw plenty of drama. Lots of sombreros were flung in the air by Mexican fans before the game started. But the 80,000+ fans truly lost their minds when Julian Quinones scored in the ninth minute for Mexico to give the home country a 1-0 lead. The 29-year-old Quinones was born in Colombia, and currently plays in the Saudi league. In Saudi Pro League, he was the top scorer this season. He was one of six starting players who made their World Cup debut for El Tri. Julián Quiñones has …
