Sadio Mane: Senegal's uncrowned king

Senegal's departure from the World Cup unfolded as a heartbreaking saga. In the Round of 32 match held in Seattle, the 'Tricolor Lions' were ahead 2-0 against Belgium, thanks to goals from Habib Diarra and Ismaila Sarr; victory seemed imminent with only five minutes remaining in regulation time. However, fate had a different plan. Goals from Romelu Lukaku in the 86th minute and Youri Tielemans in the 89th minute pushed the match into extra time. Ultimately, in the dying moments of extra time, Tielemans scored in the 125th minute from a penalty awarded by VAR, leading Senegal to exit the World Cup in tears, losing 3-2. This late goal, the latest winning goal in World Cup history, shattered their dreams. Even Belgium's coach Rudi Garcia acknowledged post-match that Senegal merited the win.

Will Spanish armada, Portuguese artistry, or Croat experience prevail

In the knockout stages of the World Cup, statistics can provide confidence, but never guarantees. History has shown time and again that the team looking superior on paper does not always emerge victorious. A single misplaced pass, a corner kick, a sudden counter-attack, or a moment of individual brilliance from a player can completely rewrite the narrative of the entire tournament. On this very stage of uncertainty, four European powerhouses—Spain, Austria, Portugal, and Croatia—will battle for a ticket to the quarter-finals on Thursday (July 2).

Erling Haaland: the son writing his father’s unfinished story

Sometimes, a single goal does more than just alter the outcome of a match; it rewrites a nation's football history. Erling Haaland created exactly such a moment at the AT&T Stadium in Dallas. His subtle yet clinical touch in the 86th minute did not just secure a victory for Norway against the Ivory Coast—it shattered a 28-year-old wait. Returning to the World Cup for the first time since 1998, Norway has now made history by winning their first-ever knockout match, and standing right at the epicenter of this historic tale is their goal-machine, Erling Haaland.

Where will the Samba storm lead Brazil on Fifa World Cup?

The 'Maracanazo' of the 1950 World Cup final remains a deep wound in Brazilian memory. Yet from that wound was born the Football Emperor — Pelé. In that continuity, Brazil has repeatedly written stories of returning to World Cup glory. And on the night of June 29, 2026, in Houston, history perhaps witnessed the rise of a new Brazil. The Brazil that cried against Uruguay nine decades ago, with a last-gasp victory over Japan, announced that this is no longer the old Brazil. This Brazil does not cry; this Brazil fights, comes back, and wins.
