16:30 | FIFA World Cup 26 Live | Spain v Cape Verde (Kick-off 5.00pm). Peter Collins presents coverage of the opening match in Group H, held at Atlanta Stadium in the USA. Spain won this tournament in 2010 and are among the favourites to do so once again, having won Euro 2024 and qualified from a group containing Türkiye, Georgia and Bulgaria with five wins, a draw and no defeats. They were also runners-up to Portugal in last year's UEFA Nations League, and their squad boasts the talents of the likes of Barcelona stars Pedri and Lamine Yamal, who is an injury doubt for the group stage, and Manchester City's 2024 Ballon d'or winner Rodri. Cape Verde are one of the tournament outsiders and it would be a major upset should they manage to get a result this evening, but they impressed in qualifying, topping a group that contained the likes of Cameroon, Libya and Angola. They have few players among their ranks who would be widely considered as household names, but are likely to look to captain and all-time leading goalscorer Ryan Mendes for inspiration |
| 19:30 | FIFA World Cup 26 Live | Belgium v Egypt (Kick-off 8.00pm). Peter Collins presents as Group G gets under way with this fixture at Seattle Stadium in the USA, between two sides who will expect to progress to the knockout stages of the expanded competition. Iran and New Zealand are the other nations in this group and, while Belgium may seem to be a little past their best, following the relative failures of their 'Golden Generation', they still possess a squad that can compare with most of the entrants. The vast majority of the Egyptian squad ply their trade in their homeland, but two notable exceptions to that can be found in their attacking threat, in Liverpool's Mo Salah, and Omar Marmoush of Manchester City. Salah made his full international debut as far back as 2011, and scored twice at the 2018 World Cup and, despite his form and fortunes waning for his club this season, he still remains the dangerman as far as the Belgian defence is concerned | |
