Indeed both Italy and Germany have still yet to win a KO game since winning the tournament!

Neither have Spain (although that may change in the coming days).

Great finish from Barcola, 2-0 France.

Some absolute wizardly from Olise to Mbappè and it's 3-0 France.

France are looking like the very likely winners of this World Cup, so many talented players in their attack.

Could we get the trilogy of France v Argentina at World Cup's?

Four minutes of added time in this match.

Pretty comfortable for France but I think Sweden did enough that they deserved a goal.

One More Time for France!

Very convincing in the end for France.

They look to be the favourites for me at this stage.

Hopefully France will be stopped, I'd love to see a major surprise happen at this World Cup. Doesn't look like that will happen at the moment though.

Just got home and it’s half time.

Mexico in control, leading 2-0.

Electric start from Mexico and Ecuador couldn’t cope.

England will struggle against Mexico playing like that.

Mexico win 2-0.

That's everyone from both groups E and F out then!

And both Group C teams remain if I’m not mistaken.

Hincapie became the second player at the 2026 World Cup to be dismissed for covering his mouth while confronting an opponent, during his side's defeat by Mexico on Tuesday evening.

The Arsenal defender, 24, hid his mouth as he spoke to Mexico's Santiago Gimenez in stoppage time at the end of the second half, with his side losing 2-0 and heading out of the tournament.

Slovenian referee Slavko Vincic did not see the incident but showed Hincapie a red card after being advised by the video assistant referee (VAR) to watch the incident on the pitchside monitor.
