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...

Welcome to Football airlines. HIGHLIGHTS of Liverpool vs Manchester United Premier League match at Anfield, Liverpool.

The three minutes of additional time comes to an end and puts United out of its misery. Erik ten Hag heads straight to the tunnel. United has been blown away tonight. Humbled and humiliated. Surely will take some time to bounce back from this. For the Scousers, the party is just beginning. Their team exploded in the second half. Two goals each from Salah, Gakpo and Nunez and the cherry on top by Firmino towards the end. Liverpool cuts the gap to Spurs to three points and they’re on their way to grab that Champions League spot.


Ten Hag: We were unprofessional

Erik ten Hag spoke to the BBC after the heavy defeat: "I think we played a decent first half. One mistake in organisation just before half-time. Second half it was just not us. It was not our standards. We didn't play as a team. It was unprofessional. Yes (I am angry). Definitely.

"I am surprised because I have seen the last weeks and months this team is resilient and has a winning attitude. Second half we didn't have a winning attitude at all. We didn't stick to the plan and we didn't do our jobs.

"We didn't track back and it was really unprofessional. We have seen in the past we can bounce back. After Brentford, after Manchester City. This is definitely a strong setback and is unacceptable. I'm really disappointed and angry about it.

"It is a reality check. We have to take this strong."


Ten Hag: We didn't stick together as a team

Erik ten Hag also spoke to Sky Sports after the match: "I don't have an explanation. In the first half we were quite in control. Second half at the start we gave two goals away. There was no team anymore. We didn't stick to the plan. There were 11 individuals.

"I don't know, it's really bad. I have given my opinion (to the players). It was unprofessional. You always have to stick together as a team. We didn't do that. There was no discipline. You have can setbacks but you have to stick together and do your job.

"We made the wrong decisions. That for me is unprofessional. I'm really disappointed and angry. We let our fans down. As a squad, as a team, you cannot allow this. You have to stick together and support each other and fight for each other. You have to defend. We didn't do that and for me that is really unprofessional.

"We have made a lot of progress but you see what happens when you don't keep standards. What I have said in the dressing room is that this is unacceptable. But also it is only one game. We will bounce back. This team is strong enough and we will reset and bounce back."



Salah: I was always chasing Fowler's record

Mohamed Salah on breaking Robbie Fowler's club record for career Premier League goals: "It’s very special, I can’t lie. This record was in my mind since I came here. After my first season I was always chasing that record so to get it today against Manchester United with that result is unbelievable. I’m going home to celebrate with the family, and have a chamomile tea and sleep.

"It’s very special to win a game like that with that result. At the same time I don’t want us to go to the next game with overconfidence or something, we just need to stay humble and play and win the games. We are not in the position we want to be but hopefully this will give us a good push and make us keep winning."

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...
