Uruguay out, Messi v Vozinha in knockouts; 3 more Copa groups Four matches livened up another Friday (26) of the 2026 FIFA World Cup. In the first matches of the day, Mbappé and Dembélé PUT ON A CLINIC against Norway, who had Haaland on the bench, and France ran out 4-1 winners. At the same time, Senegal finally “woke up” at the World Cup and steamrolled Iraq 5-0, and could still advance as one of the best third-placed teams! Later in the night, Spain did not have to do much, but beat Uruguay 1-0 and confirmed their status as group favorites. La Celeste, meanwhile, disappointed once again and bowed out of the World Cup in the group stage. La Furia’s win came thanks to an unbelievable mistake by goalkeeper Muslera - which led to plenty of mockery on social media !
