World Cup 2026 draw live updates: Results, groups and match schedule from today’s ceremony World Cup draw results — reaction The United States will play Australia, Paraguay and a European playoff winner in Group D of next summer’s World Cup. The draw for the tournament took place at the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C. and followed President Donald Trump receiving the inaugural FIFA Peace Prize. Dutch feeling happy with their draw Optimism and relief could be a good way to describe the Netherlands’ feelings about the World Cup draw. They have been placed into Group F alongside Japan, Tunisia and one of Ukraine, Poland, Albania or Sweden. Getting Japan instead of a top-ranked CONMEBOL team might seem like a tough break. But there are five Japan internationals in the Eredivisie, such as Ayase Ueda, Ko Itakura, and Tsuyoshi Watanabe, and that knowledge could play to Ronald Koeman's advantage. Tunisia will be challenging, so too the European playoff winner, but Oranje s...

CHE VS EVE live and match highlight

<script async custom-element="amp-ad" src="https://cdn.ampproject.org/v0/amp-ad-0.1.js"></script> Ellis Simms scores first Everton goal. The Graham Potter renaissance was almost onto its fourth straight victory with one minute of the regulation 90 left, when the old frailties that have gripped new Chelsea came back to remind their manager just how far there is left to go. They had already been obliged to handle one Everton comeback, but a second felt excessive for a Chelsea team that had dominated most of the possession and just about all the chances. The Everton substitute Ellis Simms had been on the pitch for nine minutes when he took his chance with a run at Kalidou Koulibaly and found the £35 million defender very much not his equal. Simms burst past the Chelsea man, launched a shot at goal, and yet another flappy hand from Kepa Arrizabalaga meant that Everton’s academy boy had secured a priceless point for his side. Potter will know only too well th...

football news Arsenal vs Crystal Palace score and result. How arsenal got increased lead at the Premier League. Arsenal now have an  eight-point lead at the top of the Premier League  with just 10 matches to play after their latest convincing victory over struggling Crystal Palace 4-1 at the Emirates Stadium.

Forward Leandro Trossard dished out another assist to  Granit Xhaka , who also got in on the scoring action. But visiting Palace, who fired their manager just two days before, could have taken the lead with a little bit of luck after  Wilfried Zaha hit the post  on 11 minutes and watched the rebound bounce off Arsenal's 'keeper and out for a corner instead of goal-bound. Palace, managed in this game by Under-21 boss Paddy McCarthy, clawed their way back to 3-1 at one p...

Man City vs Leipzig <\head> Manchester City 7-0 RB Leipzig Highlights: Haaland scores five to set Champions League record.  Match Preview Manchester City, the dominant team in England for the past decade, is looking to reach the quarterfinals for the sixth straight season but has never won European football’s biggest prize. The team’s only appearance in the final came in 2021, when it lost 1-0 to Chelsea in Porto. Midfielder Kevin De Bruyne knows the “noise” will get bigger around City in the competition the longer the team backed by Abu Dhabi wealth goes without winning it. We’ve not won it but I feel we’ve done really well in the Champions League,” he said. “I know people base everything on only winning but I feel there’s been a lot of circumstances in these types of games. “Obviously I want to win it, but I know as long as we don’t, I will get the same question. And I’m fine that people judge you on that.” It also has also won all six home games in d...

Man United vs Southampton score.

Man United vs Southampton score, highlights as Red Devils play to exciting scoreless draw after Casemiro red card. Not all scoreless draws are equal, and that mindset was on full display at Old Trafford as Manchester United and Southampton shared the spoils after a 0-0 scoreline that doesn't come close to reflecting the consistent end-to-end action. The biggest talking point was Casemiro's straight red card in the 33rd minute, which after a VAR review reduced United to 10 men. The Brazilian's studs-up tackle went over the ball and onto the shins of Carlos Alcaraz, and while Anthony Taylor initially only showed yellow, he changed his decision after consulting the monitor. Before and after the disciplinary action, the match was a lively affair, and United were positive even after being reduced a man. Yet neither side could find an opener, as Theo Walcott was thwarted multiple times in front of goal and Gavin Bazunu made a significant number of quality saves. Additionally, eac...

MANCHESTER UNITED VS REAL BETIS 4-1 Match report as Marcus Rashford, Antony, Bruno Fernandes and Wout Weghorst all score as Manchester United thrash Betis 4-1 in the Europa League last-16 first leg at Old Trafford; Leicester loanee Ayoze Perez nets visitors' only goal. Manchester United bounced back from Sunday's trouncing at Liverpool with Antony's stunner helping them cement a 4-1 first-leg Europa League last-16 lead over Real Betis. United did struggle at times against La Liga's fifth-placed side and were lucky to go in at half-time level after Ayoze Perez, who had already cancelled out Rashford's opener, hit the post with David De Gea beaten. But once Antony's curling effort had restored their advantage, they blew Betis away. Fernandes' booming header from a corner was too powerful for Claudio Bravo to handle, and Wout Weghorst added a fourth after fine work from substitute Facundo Pallestri. Antony and Weghorst both missed glorious chances to extend Uni...
