Saudi Arabia will face Cape Verde in their third Group H match of the 2026 FIFA World Cup on June 26, 2026, at Houston Stadium on FS1. 

This marks a historic first World Cup meeting between the two nations.

Both Cape Verde and Saudi Arabia are very much alive heading into their final group game. 

In one of the biggest shocks of the tournament so far, Cape Verde drew Spain 0-0 in its opener. It followed up that incredible performance with another unlikely 2-2 draw against two-time World Cup champions Uruguay. 

Cape Verde is the only one of this tournament’s four debutants to have two or more points through its first two games, becoming the first World Cup debutant to get a result in both of its first two games since 2002.

Meanwhile, Saudi Arabia opened its World Cup campaign with a 1-1 draw against Uruguay before falling to Spain 4-0 in its second match. Saudi Arabia was outshot by a combined 49-10 in its first two games, the second-worst margin in the tournament in that span.

Saudi Arabia vs Cape Verde Prediction, Pick

From FOX Sports Wagering Expert, Chris ‘The Bear’ Fallica:

• A second-place finish is on the table for both sides depending on the result of Spain-Uruguay. Clearly, from watching both sides’ first two matches, Cape Verde looks to be the better squad, and I’ll grab the nice plus price on it to get the win and continue this magical ride. Take Cape Verde to Win.

Spain and Uruguay are set to face off in a highly anticipated Group H finale of the 2026 FIFA World Cup on June 26, 2026, at Guadalajara Stadium on FOX. 

After a shocking 0-0 draw against Cape Verde in its opener, Spain bounced back in a big way with a 4-0 win over Saudi Arabia. 

Spain’s 70% possession and plus-40 shot difference through two games are both the best of any team with no opponent red cards at this tournament.

Spain is unbeaten in 32 straight games (23W-9D-0L) since March 2024, the second-longest undefeated run in its nation’s history. 

Meanwhile, Uruguay finds itself in a very uncomfortable situation. Uruguay had 66% possession (fifth-most at this tournament) and 44 shots (fourth-most), but only have two points after drawing 1-1 with Saudi Arabia and 2-2 with Cape Verde. 

Uruguay needs a win here to automatically advance and potentially even win the group. If it draws, it will need help in the Cape Verde-Saudi Arabia match as second place could come down to tiebreakers. 

Let’s check out the odds for the massive showdown between Spain and Uruguay at FanDuel Sportsbook as of June 26.

Spain vs. Uruguay Prediction, Pick

From FOX Sports Wagering Expert, Chris ‘The Bear’ Fallica:

• Uruguay has butchered this World Cup. It has nobody out there who can finish. It couldn’t hold a 2-1 lead vs. Cape Verde and couldn’t get the second goal against one of the worst teams in the competition in Saudi Arabia. Now, Uruguay must beat Spain to advance. Good luck with that. I mean, there’s a non-zero chance Uruguay could win, as Spain have certainly thrown some clunkers in group play of major tourneys. This match could go so many ways, but I think the safest way to play it is Spain team total Over 1.5. Uruguay needs to win and that could leave it vulnerable to Spain countering. Take Spain Team Total Over 1.5 (-155).

The slightest moment of brilliance from Arda Güler created a win for Türkiye. It was the kind of play we would expect from Christian Pulisic deliver before 00 and narrowly missed doing it again last night.

Pulisic almost pulled a rabbit out of his hat a few times, creating a few chances late for the USA. He looked extremely sharp and dangerous every time he got on the ball. That was one of the positives from the USA in the second half, during which we got back into the game against a good team.

What’s important to know after this match, which saw nine changes from the starting lineup against Australia last week: if the USA replicates what it did in its first two games against Paraguay and Australia with its best XI, it will beat Bosnia and Herzegovina. 

While the loss is disappointing, it should not take away from the fact that this team secured first play in Group D with a game to spare, broke the record for most goals scored by a USA team in the World Cup group stage and is now preparing for its game in the round of 32.

Now onto my player ratings for this one: 

Turner conceded three goals on the night. I can’t necessarily point the finger at him for all of them, but this is the highest rating I can give you on a night when we concede three goals in a loss.

Rating · 5

Rating · 5

All three goals from Türkiye weren’t shots from distance. They were all goals that came across the six-yard box. 

I felt both McKenzie and Robinson could have done better on all three goals, whether it was cutting up play higher up the field or defending in the six- or 18-yard box. While both had some good moments on the ball and made some plays late defensively, it was a tricky night and both could have done better on the goals that were conceded.

Rating · 6

Auston had a mixed night that started with the high of scoring the opening goal, which he took really well.

I thought he defended well as a center back who was playing out of position as a fullback, but he had his own issues on the night. Difficult to see him pick up the ankle injury late, which made it tougher to defend Türkiye before the winner in stoppage time.

Entering this game, we talked about guys who had an opportunity to really take advantage of these minutes and make an impression. Scally absolutely fits into that category.

Scally had a tough night defending Türkiye’s attack on the right side of the USA defense and was unable to take that opportunity.

Rating · 7

Weston was the best player on the field for the USA before Christian came on in the second half. He was the only player who started all three games for the USA, and you’d expect other players would feed off that and his energy.

McKennie was influential throughout the match, and it was clear that he was a starter for this group in midfield.

Rating · 7

I thought he was hit or miss in the first half. He had some positive moments, but the early yellow card slowed him down a bit. In the second half, he was a big part of the USA’s resurgence and was very influential.

Sebastian is going to get a higher rating because he delivered two big moments in this game. Especially at this stage of the tournament, goals and assists are so valuable.

He had the corner kick that saw Trusty open the scoring before ripping an impressive shot into the net to tie the game at 2-2 early in the second.

Rating · 5

I was excited to see Gio get more minutes and really take control of the game. I wanted to see him be decisive, especially higher up the pitch.

It looked like he floated in and out of the game. We know his ability and that he can be a deciding factor going forward. I didn’t see it consistently against Türkiye.

When he is at his best, we know how dangerous Tim can be. He can use his pace to get in behind the back line and be direct in taking on defenders one-on-one.

This wasn’t a night that he will look back on fondly – and he will want to put it behind him.

One thing to consider is that he might have had a better night if he had played on the right-hand side, where he potentially could have been more direct.

Timothy Weah was substituted in the 58th minute for Christian Pulisic, who looked good in his return from injury. (Fran Santiago/Getty Images) –>

I’m looking at his performance similar to Weah’s. There were a couple of moments when he got on the ball and looked really dangerous. He was attacking the space given to him and looked to get behind the Türkiye defense in the first half.

Ultimately, I want to see Brenden put a bigger stamp on games. I’m looking at guys like him, Weah and Reyna as guys who I want to pull strings in the final third and make things happen so it’s not all on Pulisic when he’s on the pitch.

Rating · 5

Pepi had a couple of runs in behind the Türkiye defense that maybe could have turned into chances if his first touch was a little sharper to get a shot off.

Overall, I’m not as concerned about Pepi always being connected to the game. As long as he’s in the right places at the right time to cause problems for a defense, whether that’s creating his own shot in the 18-yard box or stretching the game further up the pitch, he’ll be fine.

LOS ANGELES STADIUM — All it took was one unlucky loss in the USA’s dead-rubber final group-stage game of the 2026 FIFA World Cup for Mauricio Pochettino to reveal the immense pressure he knows he’s under.

Hired to be the men’s national team’s savior when the U.S. Soccer Federation backed up the Brinks truck — with the help of some deep-pocketed angel investors — to lure one of the world’s most highly regarded coaches to what European and South American elitists have always derided as a relative backwater, we’re about to find out if Pochettino is worth his hefty price tag.

The U.S. will face Bosnia and Herzegovina on Wednesday with a spot in the Round of 16 on the line. The Americans are the favorites, and their fans are expecting — demanding — a win. 

For all the good vibes and good publicity that the former Paris Saint-Germain manager engendered by opening the tournament with convincing wins over Paraguay and Australia, that won’t matter if he drops this next one.

Those are the stakes. And for Pochettino, it’s not a great position to be in. This U.S. team should beat the Bosnians. But it won’t be easy. Anything can happen in one match. An own goal. An early red card. And if they lose, the reasons won’t matter. After a hot start, at the first World Cup on home soil in 32 years, losing that one game would instantly render the entire Pochettino experiment a missed opportunity. 

Sitting behind the mahogany desk in his office at the Ritz-Carlton hotel in nearby Orange County two nights before a reserve-heavy U.S. lineup lost 3-2 to Türkiye on Thursday, Pochettino was as charming as could be. For 30 minutes, the charismatic 54-year-old laughed and joked with a small group of reporters. He insisted that he’d slept like a baby the night before the Stars and Stripes’ World Cup opening 4-1 win over the Paraguayans, utterly convinced as he was that his beloved players would perform.

Toward the end of the roundtable session, I asked him if he’d be as relaxed when the knockout stage arrived.

“It needs to be the same,” he told me, which is not the same as saying that it will be. “We need to prepare [for] the game, not thinking about ‘if we don’t win.’”

–>

Unpleasant as the thought is, this match against Bosnia and Herzegovina has “trap game” written all over it. In Pochettino’s 29 outings since taking over the U.S. program in October 2024, he’s faced European foes six times — including Thursday — and lost every single one.

The cold reality is that the outcome of this next game is probably close to a coin flip, and the World Cup co-hosts have a lot more to lose than to gain.

The U.S. has reached the round of 16 at the last three World Cups it has participated in. After Thursday’s loss, a visibly upset Pochettino struck an inexplicably defensive tone. “No one congratulated us [for] finish[ing] first in a very difficult group,” he chastised the media members in the room, as if that’s a normal thing, as if the coverage of his team at this World Cup hasn’t been almost universally positive — including the game that had just ended.

Granted, this was a hugely inexperienced lineup (just three of Pochettino’s starters had ever started a World Cup game before, with two making their tournament debut) that had played well despite the defeat.

But a far weaker U.S. team survived a far tougher group in 2014, one that featured African power Ghana, a Portugal side led by an in-his-prime Cristiano Ronaldo and eventual champion Germany. Four years earlier, Bob Bradley’s squad topped a quartet containing England. Gregg Berhalter got to the round of 16 in 2022 with the youngest starting lineup in Qatar. And of course, Bruce Arena posted the USA’s lone World Cup knockout win in 2002, almost a quarter-century ago.

So far, Pochettino has accomplished nothing close with his U.S. team. Not yet. That doesn’t mean that he can’t. He’s probably got a deeper roster than any of his predecessors. But now, because of the expanded format, he needs to win another game just to equal what his American-born predecessors managed time and again.

And none of those men had the huge advantage that comes with home fans supporting them. The only one that did was Bora Milutinović, who took the U.S. to the round of 16 way back in 1994, losing 1-0 to Brazil — another eventual titlist — with a squad that only had seven players under contract with professional clubs.

No wonder Pochettino is on edge. For a coach who has admitted that he’d like to return to the English Premier League, getting eliminated in the round of 32 on the biggest stage possible, by an inferior opponent, could do lasting, potentially irreparable harm to his global reputation. Surely he knows that, too.

To be clear, this current U.S. team is absolutely capable of outperforming any that came before it. A quarterfinal trip is realistic. I’ve said consistently that, if they play as well as they can and get a little luck along the way, a semifinal berth is possible.

“In 2002, when I was involved in the World Cup [as a defender for Argentina], South Korea was in the semifinal,” Pochettino, riding the high of being 2-0 at the time, said last week. 

“Morocco was in the [semis] also in Qatar [in 2022],” he added. “Why not us?”

Well, getting anywhere close starts with a victory next week. The U.S. can do it, no question. The country fell in love with this team over the last two weeks for good reason. They play hard. They score goals. They’re good guys who care. They know that this summer represents a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for the sport in this country, and they’ll do everything possible to seize it. 

No World Cup game is a forgone conclusion, but I firmly believe that the U.S. will beat Bosnia and Herzegovina on July 1 in Santa Clara. I’m sure of it.

For Pochettino’s sake, they’d better.

Players to Watch in Norway vs. France match

Erling Haaland has lived up to the hype in his first major international tournament, scoring four goals through two matches. The Norway striker will once again be Norway’s focal point as they battle for first place in the group.

Martin Ødegaard is the creative engine behind Norway’s attack, orchestrating play and supplying Haaland with scoring opportunities. His vision and passing will be critical against France’s talented midfield.

Kylian Mbappé has matched Haaland with four goals through two games and enters the match just two goals behind Lionel Messi’s all-time World Cup scoring record. The French superstar remains France’s biggest attacking weapon.

Michael Olise has been one of the tournament’s best playmakers, recording three assists while helping drive France’s attack. Fresh off a stellar club season, his creativity and passing make him a constant threat in the final third.

Players to Watch in Spain vs. Uruguay match

Federico Valverde has been Uruguay’s most consistent midfielder through the group stage, providing leadership, energy, and control in the middle of the pitch. With Uruguay needing a result to secure its place in the knockout round, he’ll be central to the team’s success.

Maxi Araújo has carried Uruguay’s attack with two goals in the tournament, stepping up while other forwards have struggled. His pace and finishing make him Uruguay’s biggest attacking threat against Spain.

Lamine Yamal scored his first World Cup goal, helping power a 4-0 win over Saudi Arabia. His creativity and ability to beat defenders one-on-one make him one of the tournament’s most dangerous players.

Rodri anchors Spain’s midfield with elite passing and defensive awareness. His ability to control possession and dictate the tempo gives Spain a significant advantage against Uruguay’s aggressive pressing style.

Belgium and New Zealand will face off in their final Group G fixture of the 2026 FIFA World Cup on Friday, June 26, 2026, at BC Place Vancouver on FOX. 

This marks the first time the two nations have met in a World Cup setting. 

New Zealand and Belgium are currently the bottom two teams in Group G. However, both are very much alive to reach the knockout stage as group runner-up or as a third-place team, depending on their result in this match. 

Belgium’s first two games were very dissapointing for its standards, drawing Egypt 1-1 and Iran 0-0. Belgium took 23 shots against Iran, its most without scoring in a World Cup game since 1994. 

Jeremy Doku, who missed the Iran game with an illness and then flew home to Belgium for the birth of his first child, is expected to be available for this game. 

Meanwhile, New Zealand has started strong in both of its games so far, leading twice in the 2-2 draw with Iran while also opening the scoring in a 3-1 loss to Egypt. However, New Zealand was unable to hold on to any of the leads as it currently sits with only one point. 

New Zealand is now winless in eight all-time World Cup matches (0W-4D-4L), trailing only Honduras (9) for most World Cup games without a win.

Can New Zealand pull off a huge upset and get its first ever World Cup win?

From FOX Sports Wagering Expert, Chris ‘The Bear’ Fallica:

• There have been a few candidates for the most disappointing or overrated side in this World Cup. Take your pick of word, but Belgium applies to both. Two lackluster draws vs. Egypt and Iran have taken winning the group out of Belgium’s hands. On the bright side, star winger Jeremy Doku has returned to the team, which should help. If Belgium can’t score on New Zealand, something is seriously wrong. Take Kevin de Bruyne At Least One Goal/Assist (-155).

Egypt moved atop Group G with its first-ever World Cup win as it scored three unanswered second-half goals to beat New Zealand 3-1. It was the first time Egypt scored three goals in its nation’s World Cup history. 

Meanwhile, Iran has recorded a result in both of its two opening World Cup matches for the first time, coming from behind twice to draw New Zealand 2-2 in the opener and then holding Belgium 0-0.

Players to Watch in Norway vs. France match

Erling Haaland has lived up to the hype in his first major international tournament, scoring four goals through two matches. The Norway striker will once again be Norway’s focal point as they battle for first place in the group.

Martin Ødegaard is the creative engine behind Norway’s attack, orchestrating play and supplying Haaland with scoring opportunities. His vision and passing will be critical against France’s talented midfield.

Kylian Mbappé has matched Haaland with four goals through two games and enters the match just two goals behind Lionel Messi’s all-time World Cup scoring record. The French superstar remains France’s biggest attacking weapon.

Michael Olise has been one of the tournament’s best playmakers, recording three assists while helping drive France’s attack. Fresh off a stellar club season, his creativity and passing make him a constant threat in the final third.

Players to Watch in Spain vs. Uruguay match

Federico Valverde has been Uruguay’s most consistent midfielder through the group stage, providing leadership, energy, and control in the middle of the pitch. With Uruguay needing a result to secure its place in the knockout round, he’ll be central to the team’s success.

Maxi Araújo has carried Uruguay’s attack with two goals in the tournament, stepping up while other forwards have struggled. His pace and finishing make him Uruguay’s biggest attacking threat against Spain.

Lamine Yamal scored his first World Cup goal, helping power a 4-0 win over Saudi Arabia. His creativity and ability to beat defenders one-on-one make him one of the tournament’s most dangerous players.

Rodri anchors Spain’s midfield with elite passing and defensive awareness. His ability to control possession and dictate the tempo gives Spain a significant advantage against Uruguay’s aggressive pressing style.

LOS ANGELES STADIUM — Was this a lesson or a letdown?

That is a question this U.S. men’s national team must answer after its stunning 3-2 loss to Türkiye in the waning seconds of stoppage time on Thursday night. Because no matter what’s happened up to this point, the Americans’ body of work will be judged by what comes next.

The USA faces Bosnia and Herzegovina in the round of 32 on July 1 at San Francisco Bay Area Stadium. Will it look like the squad that has captivated the nation over the first few weeks of the World Cup or the one that appeared disjointed at times against Türkiye? The knockout stage resets everything, and the slate is cleared.

“We want to keep going in this tournament,” said Chris Richards, who did not play as a precaution after previously picking up a yellow card. “We have a really strong team, a really hungry team. A lot of us guys who started the last few games, we were hurting that we couldn’t be out there tonight. So ultimately, I think it’s gonna light a fire under us and want to get the job done early next game.”

The U.S. entered the group finale in an unusual position. It had already secured first place in Group D and a berth in the knockout stage, while Türkiye had already been eliminated after dropping its first two matches. On paper, there was little at stake.

What seemed most important to the players was momentum; they talked about it all week. With the elimination round looming — where every match is win or go home — they viewed Thursday as an opportunity to continue building up confidence.

U.S. manager Mauricio Pochettino made nine changes to his starting lineup from the previous match, including a surprising move by putting Matt Turner in goal in place of Matt Freese. He also rested four key starters — Richards, Tyler Adams, Antonee “Jedi” Robinson and Folarin Balogun — to avoid risking a second yellow card that would have led to a suspension for the next game. This gave several players who had seen little to no minutes an opportunity to make an impact, and the Americans got off to another hot start when Auston Trusty scored his first international goal just three minutes in. 

The U.S. surrendered the lead before halftime, but Sebastian Berhalter equalized with a rocket in the 49th minute. Despite creating several promising chances in the second half — especially once Christian Pulisic was subbed into the game — the U.S. couldn’t finish, and as the match went on, there was a sense inside the stadium it would end in a draw.

That would have been good enough, but with seconds left in stoppage time, Kaan Ayhan slipped a right-footed shot past Turner for the lead, silencing the stadium.

Afterward, the Americans were glum. They tried to talk about positive takeaways from the night — like moving onto the next round and how many players made their World Cup debuts. But their body language told a different story.

Ricardo Pepi, who made his second consecutive start but couldn’t get anything going, walked quickly past reporters with the hood of his sweatshirt covering most of his face. Pulisic, who came on in the second half after missing the last match due to a calf injury, was whisked through the mixed zone interview area by a U.S. Soccer official and did not take questions. Tim Weah, who said he was disappointed in his performance, took the blame for one of Türkiye’s goals. Berhalter didn’t even want to talk about his stellar goal — he also recorded an assist, becoming the first American player to record both a goal and an assist in a World Cup match since 1966.

“Take Me Home, Country Roads” blared throughout the stadium again as the players took a lap around the field after the final whistle, but this time it didn’t carry the same celebratory feel.

“It’s a gut punch for a lot of guys,” Turner said, taking a deep breath. “I mean, this was a lot of our chance to step out there and show that we deserved and that we earned [to play], so you want it to go perfectly. But this sport can be so cruel and, as good as you play, it doesn’t always equal the final results. So it’s disappointing.”

Players said the result won’t affect momentum or mindset moving forward. They were pleased that, as of now, every healthy player on the roster has seen the field in this tournament. Cristian Roldan, who is dealing with a quadricep issue, is the only one who has not. They were also happy that Pulisic, who had not played since the first half of the Paraguay game, was back on the pitch.

Weird things happen in World Cups. Germany, who also already booked its place in the knockout stage, lost its final group game on Thursday, too.

Now the Americans need to find a way to use this bit of adversity as fuel.  

“We need to move on, but we’re full of confidence,” Brenden Aaronson told reporters after the game. “I’m not worried about it. I’m not worried at all. I think the team is in a great spot.”
