Overview
- The United States secured first place in Group D and a West Coast path through the knockouts after its 2-0 win over Australia and Paraguay’s shock 1-0 victory over Türkiye on Friday.
- Paraguay beat Türkiye with a 65‑second goal from Matías Galarza and held on despite captain Miguel Almirón being sent off under a new rule that outlaws players covering their mouths during confrontations.
- Bosnia lost 4-1 to Switzerland after Tarik Muharemović received a second-half red card and will be without him for their June 24 match against Qatar.
- Iran’s football federation said it will file a formal complaint with FIFA over U.S. travel and entry restrictions that forced the team to return to a Tijuana training base after matches and disrupted recovery plans.
- Tournament officials face growing scrutiny as teams lodge refereeing objections and national delegations report visa denials and travel disruptions, a sign that the expanded 48-team format is intensifying logistical and governance strains.
