The group stage signs off tonight. Messi and Ronaldo both play.

Who won yesterday's World Cup games?

Friday closed out Groups G, H, and I, and it ran the whole menu: a superstar duel that flopped, a giant getting bounced, and an island of half a million people punching a knockout ticket. Soccer does not do quiet Fridays.

France 4, Norway 1 at Foxborough

Everybody tuned in for Mbappé versus Haaland, the two best finishers alive, tied for the tournament scoring lead. Then a third Frenchman crashed the party. Ousmane Dembélé scored three times before halftime, which is the soccer version of the backup running back going for 150 and three scores while the cameras chase the two MVPs. Mbappé and Haaland both went home empty. France wins Group I, looks terrifying, and just reminded everyone that the deepest roster wins the long tournament. Star power sells tickets. Depth wins in January. (In the other Group I game, Senegal flattened Iraq 5-0.)

Spain 1, Uruguay 0 at Guadalajara

Spain did Spain things: hogged the ball, strangled the game, and won 1-0 without breaking a sweat, stretching their unbeaten run to a frankly rude 34 straight competitive matches. The fallout is the headline, though, because Uruguay, a two-time World Cup champion, is out. Picture an Original Six hockey franchise missing the playoffs entirely. Big name, big history, early flight home.

Cape Verde 0, Saudi Arabia 0 at Houston

Sit with this one. Cape Verde, an island nation of roughly 525,000 people, drew Saudi Arabia and clinched a spot in the Round of 32. A country that would barely fill out a mid-size American city is now in the knockout rounds of the World Cup, after also drawing Spain and Uruguay along the way. That is the entire magic of this tournament wrapped inside one sleepy 0-0.

Belgium 5, New Zealand 1 at Vancouver

For two weeks Belgium looked like a preseason favorite sleepwalking through September. Then somebody woke them up. Five goals against New Zealand, and that outburst leapfrogged Egypt for first place in Group G on the final whistle. The talent was always there. They just saved it for the last possible day, which is the most Belgium thing imaginable.

Egypt 1, Iran 1 at Seattle

Iran thought they had a late winner. The replay desk disagreed, wiped it off the board, and the 1-1 draw stood. That one camera angle is why Egypt finished second and advanced instead of flying home, and why Belgium grabbed the group instead of the Pharaohs. Mohamed Salah and Egypt will gladly take it.

Who plays today? (June 27, 2026)

This is closing night for the group stage. Groups J, K, and L wrap up, the games come in same-time pairs so nobody can scoreboard-watch their way through, and the 32-team knockout bracket locks by the final whistle. Six games, three windows, two of the most famous athletes on earth.

Panama vs. England, 5 p.m. ET on Fox and Telemundo. MetLife Stadium, East Rutherford, NJ. England just needs to handle its business to win the group.

Croatia vs. Ghana, 5 p.m. ET on FS1 and Universo. Lincoln Financial Field, Philadelphia. A true win-or-go-home: Ghana advances with a draw, Croatia has to win.

Colombia vs. Portugal, 7:30 p.m. ET on Fox and Telemundo. Hard Rock Stadium, Miami. The group title is live and Ronaldo is on the marquee. We break it down below.

DR Congo vs. Uzbekistan, 7:30 p.m. ET on FS1 and Universo. Mercedes-Benz Stadium, Atlanta. Both need a win plus some help to sneak through.

Jordan vs. Argentina, 10 p.m. ETon Fox and Telemundo. AT&T Stadium, Arlington, TX. Argentina already won the group, but Messi is chasing the Golden Boot, so the GOAT suits up.

Algeria vs. Austria, 10 p.m. ET on FS1 and Universo. Arrowhead Stadium, Kansas City. The winner takes second behind Argentina; a draw sends Austria through.

What's the must-watch game today?

Colombia vs. Portugal, 7:30 p.m. ET in Miami, and it is the rare final-day game that genuinely matters at the top. Colombia has six points and a perfect record. Portugal has four and needs a win to steal first. Two good teams with something real on the line on the last day of a group: that is not a given.

Here is the NFL translation. Colombia is the division leader who clinches the crown with a win or even a tie, so they can play it a touch safe and protect their seeding. Portugal is the team a game back that has to win outright to grab the division on the final Sunday. Colombia controls its own fate. Portugal has to go take it.

But the reason your group chat will be losing its mind is Cristiano Ronaldo. The man already made history this tournament as the first player ever to score in six different World Cups. Think Tom Brady still throwing touchdowns past 40, except Ronaldo keeps setting records nobody will ever sniff again. He is 41 and still the first name on the team sheet, and Miami's Hard Rock Stadium, stuffed with Colombian and Portuguese fans, will feel like a road game for both sides. We broke down why winning the group beats finishing second, and how the bracket falls from here, over on the GameDay School YouTube channel. Watch it before kickoff and you will sound like the smartest person on the couch.

Honest read: Colombia has been the steadier, more balanced team all tournament, and a draw does the job for them, so do not be shocked if they sit deep and soak up pressure. But Portugal needs the win, Ronaldo wants the moment, and a desperate team with a legend up top is exactly the kind that wrecks your bracket.
