Canada vs. Qatar Odds *Odds are subject to change* Moneyline Goalscorers How to Watch Canada vs. Qatar Players to Watch in Canada vs. Qatar Alphonso Davies appears set to return after recovering from a hamstring injury. The Bayern Munich star's pace and attacking ability could provide the spark Canada needs in a must-win match. Cyle Larin came off the bench to score the equalizer against Bosnia and Herzegovina and is pushing for a starting role. Given Canada's struggles in the opener, the veteran striker may be their most in-form goal-scoring threat. Mahmud Abunada will likely be busy again after making several key saves in Qatar's draw with Switzerland. The goalkeeper will need another strong performance if Qatar hopes to frustrate Canada's attack. Boualem Khoukhi delivered the dramatic stoppage-time equalizer against Switzerland and remains a major threat on set pieces. Qatar's defensive approach often relies on making the most of limited opportunities, making Khoukhi a crucial player at both ends of the pitch. Mexico vs. South Korea Odds *Odds are subject to change* Moneyline Goalscorers How to Watch Mexico vs. South Korea Players to Watch in Mexico vs. South Korea Hwang In-beom was the star of South Korea's opening win over Czechia, scoring the equalizer and assisting the winner. The midfielder will again be tasked with controlling the tempo against Mexico. Lee Kang-in helped South Korea dominate possession in the second half against Czechia and provided the assist on Hwang's goal. His creativity and passing ability make him one of the team's most dangerous playmakers. Ral Jimnez finally scored his first World Cup goal in Mexico's 2-0 win over South Africa. Beyond the goal, the veteran striker impressed with his hold-up play, movement, and chance creation. Julin Quiones opened the scoring against South Africa and was arguably Mexico's best player in the opener. The Colombian-born forward has quickly become a key attacking weapon for El Tri.

McIlroy couldn't hold the lead down the stretch, but he still put forth a strong opening-round performance

Switzerland 4-1 Bosnia: Substitutes spearhead Swiss to emphatic World Cup victoryStandings provided bySofascoreSwitzerland scored four goals in just over twenty minutes in a second half rampage against Bosnia & Herzegovina to soar top of Group B in their second group match at the World Cup.The Swiss lacked the creativity to unlock Bosnias disciplined unit up until Murat Yakins triple change with just shy of twenty minutes of normal time to play.Johan Manzambis exquisitely controlled volley was the start of Switzerlands resounding win and Turak Muharemovics red card made the Bosnians uphill battle steeper.Ruben Vargas placed a pinpoint effort beyond the outstretched glove of Nikola Vasilj, and went on to assist Manzambi to convert from close-range for his second.Bosnia had something to momentarily soften the blow in California when Ermin Mahmic slammed home a volley, but Granit Xhakas penalty restored the three-goal lead to give Switzerland their first victory at this World Cup.As it happenedIn Switzerlands pursuit to advance to the last 16 of the World Cup for the fourth successive time, the onus was firmly on them to breach the sitting Bosnian defence in Los Angeles.Commanding the ball from the outset, Switzerland aimed to address the shortcomings in front of goal that cost them dearly in the draw with Qatar, but failed to make their possession count in the first half.Captain Xhaka orchestrated with line breaking passes and slipped in Nottingham Forest winger Dan Ndoye, who ghosted into a pocket of space between defenders and fired into the side netting.Fabian Rieder was next to receive Xhakas services on the left flank, after being picked to start this time out in Yakins lineup, spraying a teasing low cross towards Ndoye. He could not apply the finishing touch and had a tame effort from the edge of the area to follow.The Swiss were continuing to bide their time and opting to pounce on the right opportunities, primarily through Xhaka, to burst into the penalty box, until Remo Freuler unleashed from range and whistled his strike wide.Bosnia kept sturdy to limit their opponents from fashioning anything to unsettle them, with Muharemovic in particular stifling Breel Embolo leading the line for Switzerland.40-year-old striker Edin Dzeko lofted an inviting ball towards Benjamin Tahirovic in one sporadic venture into Switzerland territory, igniting the Bosnian faithful flocking to Los Angeles admirably in their thousands.Shades of the 1-1 draw to Qatar emerged as Switzerlands rhythm dropped and a lack of imagination in the final third left Vasilj largely untroubled between the sticks for Bosnia.Sergej Barbarezs side ended the first half posing a threat as teenager Kerim Alajbegovic acknowledged finishing duties were reserved for veteran Dzeko, but Freuler sprawled to smother his shot.As the lowest ranked European team at the World Cup, there was plenty to build on with Ermedin Demirovic spotting Sead Kolasinac galloping down the left flank and bringing an intensity Switzerland could not summon just yet.The Swiss did start to craft better openings and Ndoye was again their weapon capable of inflicting the most damage.Another strike towards the near post was safely held by the Bosnia goalkeeper and lacked conviction once again, but he was the one to almost conjure the moment to lift his nation.Xhaka curled a delightful cross into the box, which Ndoye acrobatically reached for with a powerful overhead kick, only for Vasilj to repel from close-range and deny the Forest mans magic World Cup breakthrough in this tie.This gave a platform for Switzerland to eventually reap the rewards for their attacking endeavours. Embolos header from a corner ricocheted off Nikola Katic, calling upon Vasilj to spring to his right and tip round the post.Esmir Bajraktarevic and Ivan Basic were the ones entrusted to make an impact from the bench for Barbarez, who seemed keen to test Switzerlands back line and push to claim the full spoils rather than strolling to another draw.Right-back Amar Dedic pulled the trigger with a rasping drive for Gregor Kobel to parry moments before the second hydration break.The immediate impact from the substitutes came from the opposite dugout though, as Switzerland scored the games opener, courtesy of their attacking substitutes.Vargas clipped in a cross and Bosnias short clearance dropped to Manzambi, and Switzerlands youngest squad member guided his volley towards the top right corner in the 74th minute.Manzambis pass carved open Bosnia and things went from bad to worse for them when Muharemovics late sliding challenge as the last man on Embolo prompted the referee to brandish a red card.Substitute Vargas rifled the free-kick to Vasiljs side, but a swift Swiss move culminated in the Sevilla winger stroking a fine finish into the bottom right corner to double the advantage.Bosnia were unraveling and Vargas darted behind the defence to pull back to Manzambi who began his career as a goalkeeper for his brace, ticking towards ninety minutes.Although the result slipped away, the ten-men of Bosnia found a consolation goal when 21-year-old Mahmic smashed in a volley inside the box minutes after coming on.Amar Memic took down Djibril Sow, and Xhaka scored the resulting penalty to deliver the knockout blow, and Switzerland will sit at the top of Group B before they collide with co-hosts Canada.For more detailed reports, reaction, and analysis of the World Cup as it happens, head to our website and favourite our page on OneFootball.

There will be blood, sweat and tears on players soccer jerseys at the World Cup and plenty of deeper cultural and historical meaning, too.Here, The Associated Press runs you through some of the more compelling and controversial backstories from the kit designs on show in soccers biggest event, currently taking place in the United States, Canada and Mexico.Cape Verde's flight pathsFor its World Cup debut, the smallest nation by population at the tournament is paying homage to the roughly 525,000 inhabitants who live on 10 volcanic islands off the coast of Africa. A geometric, triangular print across its blue (home) and white (away) jerseys represents the network of flight paths that connect the islands. The idea is that the people of Cape Verde are united behind the players at the World Cup and that togetherness showed as the team held firm to seal an unlikely 0-0 draw with heavily favored Spain in their first match.Belgium's surrealismThis is not a jersey, reads a message on the collar of Belgium's multicolor away shirt. No, the Belgians aren't losing their minds. It's just a nod to the European nation's surrealist heritage and notably the work of its master in this artistic movement from the early 20th century. Throughout his career, Belgian artist Ren Magritte questioned the enigmatic relationship of mind and eye, reality and language, writing under The Treachery of Images his iconic painting of a pipe the words: Ceci nest pas une pipe (This is not a pipe). The light-blue jersey features pink patterns and black detailing, incorporating soccer-inspired motifs such as pitch lines and a ball. True to the surrealism theme, the kit sparks the imagination and invites conversation, the Belgian federation says.Haiti's battle sceneThe original jersey submitted by this Caribbean nation included a depiction of the final battle of the Haitian War of Independence in 1803 on its front. In the words of Colombian sportswear manufacturer Saeta, it was a tribute to the men and women who contribute every day to Haitis future. It didn't go down too well with FIFA, which rejected the image during its approval process, deeming it too political. So an updated blue soccer kit was needed, one that no longer includes the battle artwork.Argentina's swirling paint techniqueThe defending World Cup champion is mixing sporting heritage with artistic expression in its jerseys. The home kit worn by Lionel Messi for his hat trick against Algeria on Tuesday features three shades of blue on its stripes, an homage to the South American nation's World Cup-winning uniforms from 1978, 1986 and 2022. As for its dark blue away jersey, that's inspired by a traditional painting technique from capital city Buenos Aires filete porteo that's used for ornamental design, combining brilliant, swirling colors with specific lettering styles.France's American connectionFrance arrived for the World Cup with an away kit that honors a gift the nation famously gave to the United States: the Statue of Liberty. The jersey has a green hue that resembles the oxidized color of the iconic sculpture designed by a Frenchman Frdric-Auguste Bartholdi and given to the United States in 1886 as a symbol of French-American friendship. On the jersey is a logo in copper the original color of the statue with the words Nos diffrences nous unissent (Our differences unite us).Iran's endangered Asiatic cheetahThe most striking imagery on Iran's home (white) and away (red) kits is an Asiatic cheetah low across the front. There also are cheetah spots on the sleeves up to the shoulder. The Asiatic cheetah, an equally fast cousin of the African cat, is one of the worlds critically endangered species one that Iran has long tried to save. There were as many as 400 in the 1990s but the numbers have dwindled to less than an estimated 70 remaining in Iran.Norway's runic fontNorway's kit might be the sharpest at the World Cup literally. The font used for the names and numbers of players is inspired by runic writing characters in several Germanic alphabets used in northern Europe from ancient times until the adoption of the Latin alphabet. The writing is pointy, geometric and easily visible, representing the Norwegian team's desire to embrace its centuries-old history. Flanking the large blue cross across the chest are Viking art patterns in an Urnes style.Colombia's yellow butterfliesLook closely at Colombia's typically vibrant yellow jersey and you'll notice a burst of butterfly patterns. That's an homage to the classic novel by the nation's Nobel Prize-winning author, Gabriel Garcia Marquez, One Hundred Years of Solitude, and the stories that made him literatures best-known practitioner of magical realism the blending of the everyday with fantastical elements such as a man trailed by a cloud of yellow butterflies.Mexico's Aztec calendar Mexico's home jersey brings back the Aztec calendar design that was popular in the 1990s. In the run-up to the World Cup, the team visited the National Museum of Anthropology in Mexico City and posed for a photo with the uniforms in front of the Aztec Piedra de Sol or Stone of the Sun, best known as the Aztec calendar.Saudi Arabia's architectureDotted across Saudi Arabia's dark green home jersey are symmetrical lavender squares or diamond shapes, a tribute to doorway decoration namely geometric, triangular architecture commonly seen in homes in the kingdom. Wild lavender flowers fill Saudi's desert landscapes in springtime, so purple is a celebrated color in the nation and regarded as a symbol of generosity.Brazil's Amazonian frogsWhat might immediately jump out when looking at Brazil's navy blue-and-black away jersey made by Nike is a yellow Jumpman logo synonymous with Michael Jordan-promoted sportswear. However, more closely linked to Brazilian culture is the color of the kit, inspired by the skin of the poison dart frog found in the Amazon. It's a nod to the danger posed by Brazil, the record five-time world champion.___This story has been corrected to remove a reference to Haiti as a World Cup debutant.

Brazilian fans that went the distance up the Philadelphia Museum of Art steps to pose with the Rocky statue left the fictional fighter just as they found him.Every Brazilian fan in Philadelphia to watch their national team play Haiti on Friday at the World Cup that stopped for a snapshot or a selfie with the 9-foot-11, 1,300-pound beast left the statue dressed in only his bronze trunks and boots.No taking chances of getting hit by the Rocky curse.Yes, the Rocky statue, long a symbol of resilience, heart and the unbreakable bond between Rocky and the people of Philadelphia, has taken a few more hits of late (even in retirement).Visiting American sports fans have long learned the hard way that dressing the statue with colorful jerseys, scarfs, hats, anything found in your local Rally House, has only meant that team would suffer a knockout blow at the home of the local Philly team.Scoff all you want.The bad fortune stretched to soccer when fans of the Ecuador's national team took over the Rocky steps and sang and danced and waved flags and ... dressed Rocky in a team jersey and tied the country's flag around the fictional fighter's neck.It didn't go well.Amad Diallo scored in the 90th minute to lift Ivory Coast to a 1-0 victory over Ecuador in its first World Cup appearance in a dozen years.And there ain't gonna be no rematch.Brazil fans noticed the outcome and one of their fan groups, the Green and Yellow Movement, urged visitors to keep their clothing to themselves. ANTENCAO TORCEDOR! the Instagram post warned.Everyone is paying attention.The translated text read: It's totally forbidden to put a Brazil shirt on the Rocky statue in Philly!!!!!Even Visit PA cheekily got in on the fun and tried to warn foreigners that just like Ivan Drago learned the hard way Rocky was not to be messed with.Countless football teams (as in American Football, not Ftbol same curse, different sport) have all dressed the Rocky Statue in their colors and gone on to lose, the Instagram post said. Ecuador dressed Rocky last weekend Coincidence? Sadly, history says no.Philadelphia can't wait to host you! (but Rocky does not need your kit)Brazilian fans paid heed to the warning through Thursday afternoon, and scores of fans simply took the spot in front of the statue and raised their arms in triumph just as Rocky did after so many fights, and many, many movies.This is a moment in Brazil, said Lorival Guerreiro, who traveled from Limeira, Brazil, for the World Cup. They promote this place to celebrate before the game. The Brazilians come here to celebrate our team."When the bronze statue was left on the steps after filming the Rocky movies, the museum fought to have it removed. It was eventually relocated to South Philadelphia before returning to the bottom of the steps in 2006. The statue was a huge hit and became a point of pilgrimage for people around the world.According to the Philadelphia Visitor Center, about 4 million people visit the steps each year rivaling the nearby Liberty Bell in annual foot traffic. The pop culture icon was recently moved to the top of the steps.Roberto De Freitas, a native of Porto Alegre who now lives in Florida and is attending his third World Cup, climbed the steps for a photoshoot with perhaps Philadelphia's most famous landmark. He was dressed in Brazil's colors down to the green sneakers and was set to attend Friday's game.He hoped five-time World Cup champion Brazil would take a page from Rocky's corner and win some more.We have five titles, De Freitas said. We are trying to get that sixth one.De Freitas had not yet heard of the Rocky curse but had no plans to tempt fate once he learned of the potential consequences.That's what they said, he asked with a laugh. I'm for sure not going to do it.For the record, De Freitas said Rocky was his favorite of all the movies in the series.The Rocky Shop at the base of the steps was loaded with tourists who snaked their way through fighter T-shirts and plush offerings of Mr. T's character, Clubber Lang. Peruvian sports journalist Jampool Cuadros Estrada tried on a Rocky robe as a cameraman followed him around the store for their latest World Cup report.Philadelphia, home to nearly 6,000 Brazilian-born immigrants, has a bit of a recent connection with the South American country. The Philadelphia Eagles opened their Super Bowl championship season with a win over the Green Bay Packers in Brazil in 2024.Facing pressure to win its first World Cup title since 2002, Brazil was outplayed early and needed Vincius Jniors 32nd-minute goal to get a 1-1 draw with Morocco on Saturday.Brazil now needs to beware Haiti a noted heavy underdog, just like Rocky.Brazil has the pressure. Haiti has the freedom, Haitian singer Wyclef Jean wrote on social media. And sometimes freedom is the most dangerous thing on the pitch.
