Matchday 1 of the 2026 World Cup is in the bag, so we had a go at picking a best XI for the opening round of games.
Which players have stood out to you so far?
4 - Kai Havertz is the only player to score at each of the last four major tournaments for Germany (EURO 2020, 2022 FIFA World Cup, EURO 2024, 2026 FIFA World Cup), netting exactly twice in each with his eight goals across these four tournaments.
Occasion.
England had more shots on target (9) than any other team has managed in the second half of a match at the 2026 World Cup.
Here's how they turned the game around against Croatia:

Non frè, dapre stats Opta yo nan match Ghana 1-0 Panama (World Cup 2026), Semenyo pa te gen **okenn tire cadre**. Ekip la te gen sèlman 2 tire cadre total nan 8 tire.
Tire ou wè a te pwobableman **off target** (ale deyò, pa t ap antre nan pòt la), se sa ki fè yo retire l nan stats yo apre revizyon. Bet la pèdi paske li te 0.
Opta pa t "retire" anyen ki te bon — yo jis korije li.
1+1 - Luis Díaz se ha convertido en el primer jugador de Colombia que marca y asiste en su debut en la @fifaworldcup_es desde, al menos, 1966.
Estelar.
