Canada, Mexico, and United States win Round of 32
Hey DripCaster, we are bringing you this special drip that covers the latest on the World Cup. Alright, let's go!
Canada, Mexico, and the United States all won their Round of 32 matches at the FIFA World Cup, marking the first time three Concacaf teams have achieved this feat in a single tournament. Canada secured its first knockout victory with a one to zero win over South Africa, thanks to a goal from Stephen Eustáquio in injury time. However, Canada's historic run ended in the Round of 16 with a three to zero loss to Morocco, where they fielded their youngest starting lineup since 1986. In other matches, Argentina came from behind to defeat Egypt three to two, with Cristian Romero and Lionel Messi scoring to level the match before Enzo Fernández netted the winner. Egypt's coach, Hossam Hassan, expressed frustration over officiating decisions, stating, "What happened was unfair. Egypt deserved to qualify. We were the better team." England advanced to the quarterfinals after a thrilling three to two victory over Mexico, which drew nearly 22 million viewers across Fox Sports and Telemundo, making it the most-watched World Cup telecast in U.S. history for a match not involving the U.S. team. England's next challenge is against Norway. Belgium also progressed, defeating the United States, while Switzerland triumphed over Colombia in a penalty shootout after a goalless draw. Looking ahead, the quarterfinals will feature Morocco against France and Belgium facing Spain. The World Cup final is scheduled for July 19, where Justin Bieber, Madonna, Shakira, and BTS will perform during the inaugural halftime show.
