Germany blows golden last-minute opportunity to defeat Spain in shocking fashion

Germany still has a chance to advance out of the group stage, however it will be an uphill battle as the 2014 World Cup champions tied Spain 1-1 on Sunday. German fans will be disappointed not to come away the three points as their team botched several big chances.

Messi y los tres errores que dejaron a México con un pie fuera del Mundial

Un segundo de genialidad de Lionel Messi y un hermoso chanfle de Enzo Fernández dejaron a México conectado a un respirador artificial en Catar.

El plan de Gerardo Martino era maniatar, frustrar y jugar con la desesperación de una Argentina que si perdía quedaba fuera del Mundial.

Messi puts Argentina on his back with guided missile from 25 yards out

Argentina promised the world a response after that catastrophic opening defeat to Saudi Arabia. With over 60 minutes gone against Mexico on Saturday, La Albiceleste looked just as hopeless and ineffective, landing zero shots on target and failing time after time in Mexico's half.
