Usually Europe and Latin America dominate the World Cup in football. Out of 32 advancing countries, 13 are European and 8 American, while Africa has done far better than previously with 9 countries advancing. The remaining 2 are Japan and Australia.

I’m not sure which game it followed, but at one point, Thierry Henry just said “if you’re not watching African football, that’s on you.” Like, no, I’m actually NOT shocked that all these teams are going through bc I’ve seen them before with my eyes?

Truly a case of the "thrill of victory and the agony of defeat,” to quote the old ABC show (Wide World of Support).
Canada just secured a historic World Cup knockout stage win with a dramatic 92nd-minute goal.
Very hard luck to South Africa which played its heart out.

This is just so wonderful. “Africa had a historic 10 nations qualify for the 2026 World Cup. After Congo's 3-1 victory over Uzbekistan and Algeria's stunning 3-3 draw against Austria on Saturday night, nine are headed to the knockout stage.

The previous record was two.” #WorldCup

Nine out of ten African teams secure World Cup round of 32 berth

Africa completed a historic World Cup group stage on Sunday, sending nine out of 10 teams to the round of 32 after Congo and Algeria secured knockout berths.

Canada is going to need more control of the ball and of their decision-making to be in with any chance against either the Netherlands or Morocco.

Yesterday it was Canada, and today it's Brazil. A very late game-winning goal earns the team a place in the round of 16.
Just as it did for South Africa yesterday, my heart goes out to the team knocked out -- Japan.
It’s heartbreaking to see an underdog play with that much heart and still lose.
