Did you know that Germany is out?

Germany were officially eliminated from the 2026 FIFA World Cup after suffering a 4-3 loss to Paraguay on penalties in the Round of 32 . Following a 1-1 draw after extra time and a controversial disallowed German goal in stoppage time, the team suffered their first-ever World Cup penalty shootout defeat

End of first half:

Brazil nil Norway nil.

Good game so far.

Norway has Erling Haaland.

Erling Haaland earns a base annual salary of $27.3 million (£27.3 million) at Manchester City,
which equates to roughly $525,000 (£525,000) per week.
With almost guaranteed bonuses and image rights included,
his total on-pitch earnings can reach up to $60 million (£45.5 million) annually, or $875,000 per week.

On top of his Manchester City contract, Haaland earns an estimated $20 million off the pitch from lucrative endorsement deals with brands like Nike, making his total global earnings approximately $80 million per year.

The Yanks lost 4 to 1 in a painful defeat. Embarrassed

Belgium ends the USA’s World Cup dream with a dominant 4-1 win in the Round of 16

Updated 11:15 PM EDT, Mon July 6, 2026

Takeaways from today's game

• Belgium ends the USA’s dream: The summer of soccer love is over for the USA’s World Cup squad after losing 4-1 to Belgium. Two early goals from Charles De Ketelaere and some awful US defending allowed a third from Hans Vanaken. Romelu Lukaku added the final goal in the last seconds.

• Agonizing defeat: Many US players were in tears after the final whistle. Added to the embarrassment was the fact that much of the world will take joy in the US’ humiliation after the controversy over FIFA’s decision to suspend Folarin Balogun’s one-game ban following a red card in the Round of 32.

• Trump’s role: President Donald Trump said he had asked FIFA president Gianni Infantino to review Balogun’s red card, sparking accusations of the US president interfering in the tournament.

• What’s next: Belgium will advance to the quarterfinals and face Spain, who beat Portugal earlier today.
