The 2026 World Cup is officially two weeks old, and after England<\/a> were held to a 0-0 draw by Ghana<\/a>, Scotland are gearing up for their fifth tournament meeting with Brazil.
Thomas Tuchel’s side missed out on the chance to confirm their spot in the knockout stages, with Nico O’Reilly<\/a> going the closest on Tuesday when he hit the bar with a header and Harry Kane<\/a> skied the rebound.

Ghana can also feel slightly aggrieved not to have won a penalty when Prince Adu<\/a> tangled with Ezri Konsa<\/a> in the box with 10 minutes to go. The VAR did not see referee Sa\u00edd Mart\u00ednez’s dismissal of the penalty as a clear and obvious error, and England escaped.
In the early kick-off, Ronaldo silenced some doubters after a difficult first match against Congo DR<\/a> by scoring twice in Portugal<\/a>‘s 5-0 win over Uzbekistan<\/a>. Nuno Mendes<\/a> and Rafael Le\u00e3o<\/a> also got on the scoresheet, with goalkeeper Abduvohid Nematov<\/a> also turning into his own net.
Ante Budimir<\/a> scored the only goal of the game as Croatia<\/a> beat Panama<\/a> to stay within touching distance of England and Ghana, knocking the Central American side out in the process.
Luka Modric<\/a> also made his 200th international appearance in that game.
Meanwhile, Daniel Mu\u00f1oz<\/a> got his second goal in two World Cup games as Colombia<\/a> defeated Congo DR 1-0.
Wednesday sees the final round of group games get underway, with Scotland<\/a> taking on Brazil<\/a> with the chance to make the knockout stages of a World Cup for the very first time.
