<p>Essam El-Hadary, an Egyptian goalkeeper, is the oldest player in the men's FIFA World Cup. Peter Shilton, who has played for England the most times, is ranked sixth. All football players aspire to play for as long as they can, but only a select handful are able to maintain their level of fitness. Even some of them improve with time. Even though some of this generation's top players, like Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, are competing in their final World Cup in Qatar, they are by no means the oldest players to have competed in football's biggest tournament. Checkout the list of oldest footballers to play at the FIFA World Cup, a list which is heavily dominated by goalkeepers.&nbsp;</p>
<img alt="Oldest " data-align="center" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="9fb4f342-fec6-4f2a-a028-90435e5d34c3" src="//cdn.wionews.com/sites/default/files/inline-images/Untitled%20design%20%2840%29.png" />
<h2><strong>Essam El-Hadary, 45 years and 161 days</strong></h2>

<p>Essam El-Hadary made his FIFA World Cup debut against Saudi Arabia in 2018 at the age of 45 years and 161 days, 22 years after making his Egypt debut. Prior to their encounter against Saudi Arabia, the Pharaohs had lost to Uruguay and Egypt in their group games. In the first half, Egypt would have lost to Saudi Arabia if not for El-Hadary's outstanding save off Fahad Al-Muwallad's penalty kick. Egypt was in trouble against the Saudis. On that particular day, Essam El-Hadary not only made history as the oldest player to ever compete at the FIFA World Cup, but he also made history as the oldest debutant and the first African goalkeeper to save a penalty shot.&nbsp;</p>

<h2><strong>Faryd Mondragon, 43 years, 3 days</strong></h2>

<p>When Faryd Mondragon of Colombia entered the field for Colombia's last group match against Japan in 2014, he was 43 years and three days old, making him the oldest player to compete at the FIFA World Cup prior to Essam El-Hadary in 2018. However, Faryd Mondragon still owns a few records. Prior to competing in 2014, Faryd Mondragon participated in the 1998 World Cup for Colombia. The gap between two World Cup games was the longest ever for a player. The Colombian, who was on the bench during Colombia's 2-1 quarterfinal loss to Brazil in 2014, is also the oldest player left in the FIFA World Cup playoffs. Soon after Colombia was eliminated, Mondragon made his retirement announcement.</p>

<h2><strong>Roger Milla, 42 years, 39 days</strong></h2>

<p>At 42 years and 39 days old, Roger Milla of Cameroon ranks third among the oldest football players to compete in the FIFA World Cup. He is the only striker to appear in the top five, though. In a 6-1 thrashing by Russia in the 1994 group stage, Milla scored Cameroon's lone goal. Oleg Salenko of Russia set the record for the most goals scored by a single player in a FIFA World Cup game with five goals in the same game. Over the course of 77 games and a more than 20-year career, Roger Milla scored 43 goals.</p>

<h2><strong>Pat Jennings, 41 years</strong></h2>

<p>When he was onto the pitch in the 1986 World Cup group stage encounter against powerful Brazil, Northern Ireland goalkeeper Pat Jennings was 41 years old. As was to be anticipated, the Brazilian team celebrated by defeating the birthday boy 3-0 and scoring three goals in the process. After participating in 119 games for his nation between 1964 and 1986, Pat Jennings announced his retirement the same year.</p>

<h2><strong>Peter Shilton, 40 years, 292 days</strong></h2>

<p>England goalkeeper Peter Shilton made history in 1990 by becoming the oldest player to play in a World Cup match. Shilton is best known for being the goalkeeper against whom legendary Maradona scored the "Hand of God" goal in the 1986 World Cup final. When Peter Shilton led England against Italy in the third-place play-off in 1990, England lost 2-1. Shilton was 40 years and 292 days old. After the World Cup, Shilton announced his retirement, but not before earning 125 caps for England's men from 1970 to 1990.</p>

<h2><strong>Oldest footballer in FIFA Women’s World Cup history&nbsp;</strong></h2>

<h2><strong>Formiga, 41 years and 112 days</strong></h2>

<p>Brazilian midfielder Formiga, at 41 years and 112 days, became the oldest footballer to play in the FIFA Women’s World Cup during Brazil’s quarter-final match against France in 2019, which they lost 2-1. Formiga is the only player across men’s and women’s competitions to play in seven FIFA World Cups. She is also the first female football player to participate in seven Olympic Games. Formiga made her debut in 1995 and retired in 2021 after playing 234 matches for Brazil.<br />

<p>England's opening-day 6-2 victory against Iran will have given them plenty of motivation, but the USA should be upset that Wales held them to a 1-1 draw. The squad that will advance to the Round of 16 remains to be seen given that qualifying is expected.</p>

<p><strong>England vs USA Head to Head</strong></p>

<p>Although England is the favourite to win the match and move on to the next round, historically, this has not been the case. Although England has an advantage in their head-to-head series with the USA, eight victories in 11 games, the Three Lions have never defeated the Americans in a World Cup encounter. During the final event, the teams faced off twice, with England losing both matches. In the first-ever World Cup match, the USA won 1-0, whereas in the 2010 World Cup, the USA scored thanks to a mistake by Robert Green and earned a point to win the group. The latter resulted in England losing horribly to Germany in the Round of 16, and it is still the only draw between the teams.</p>

<p><strong>England vs USA Group Details</strong></p>

<p>England's World Cup campaign got off to a 6-2 thrashing of Iran as five different goal scorers made the 1966 winners' goals apparent. Jude Bellingham, Raheem Sterling, Marcus Rashford, and Jack Grealish were also among the scorers, while Bukayo Saka finished with a brace. Wales and USA battled to a 1-1 tie, with Gareth Bale's 82nd-minute penalty cancelling out Timothy Weah's first-half goal. On Tuesday, November 29, an all-British match between England and Wales will conclude the group stage for both teams at the Ahmad bin Ali Stadium in Al Rayyan. Iran and the United States will face off against each other in a simultaneous kickoff at Al Thumama Stadium in Doha as both sides compete for an R16 spot.</p>

<p><strong>World Cup record</strong></p>

<p>England has made 16 appearances with the first in 1950. England was the best result champions in 1966 while USA has appeared in World Cup for 11 times and its best result was third place in 1930.&nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>England vs USA predicted lineup</strong></p>

<p>England (4-2-3-1): Pickford; Trippier, Stones, Maguire, Shaw; Rice, Bellingham; Saka, Mount, Sterling; Kane/Wilson</p>

<p>USA (4-3-3): Turner; Dest, Zimmerman, Long, A Robinson; Adams, McKennie, Aaronson; Reyna, Ferreira, Pulisic&nbsp;</p>

England vs. USA at FIFA World Cup 2022, here's match prediction, preview, Head to Head and lineup

<p>Brazilian striker&nbsp;Neymar&nbsp;should be fine to continue in the World Cup despite limping off with a swollen ankle during his team's 2-0 victory over Serbia on Thursday (November 24), coach Tite said. "You can be certain&nbsp;Neymar&nbsp;is going to play at the Cup. I am absolutely certain of this," Tite told reporters, confessing that he was initially unaware of his striker's injury. "I didn't see&nbsp;Neymar&nbsp;was hurt. And he had the capacity to overcome this, he even tricked me."</p>

<p>Team doctor Rodrigo Lasmar said Brazil would wait 24-48 hours before assessing&nbsp;Neymar's injury. The Paris St Germain striker, the most expensive player in the world following his record 222 million-euro ($231 million) transfer from Barcelona, played a pivotal role in Brazil's win in their first game in Group G in Qatar.</p>

<p>He wriggled into the box to pass to Vinicius Jr. to set up Richarlison for Brazil's opening goal in the second half. Later, however, he appeared to be in tears as he left the pitch with a visibly swollen ankle. That was reminiscent of the back injury which put&nbsp;Neymar&nbsp;out of the World Cup on home soil in 2014.</p>

<p>Match-winner Richarlison scored a spectacular swiveling overhead volley for Brazil's second goal. "As our professor, Tite has said 'you are smelling goals'!" he told reporters. Serbian coach, Dragan Stojkovic, said team was on the same level as Brazil for the first 45 minutes. "What was for us surprising in the second half was we literally fell physically and we were no longer a team," he explained.</p>

<p>For the home side, it will be a tough ask to beat Senegal as the latter defended well and ensured a 0-0 scoreline versus the Dutch line-up before conceding two goals in the last few minutes of the regulation time. Meanwhile, Qataris had to struggle for ball possession in their first encounter. Hence, Senegal will be confident of upsetting the hosts and getting a win under their belt.</p>

<p>Wales and the USA knew they couldn't afford to lose their respective games in Al Rayyan after England destroyed Iran. Wales was lucky to still be in the game at the end of the first half since neither team really played as though they were content with a point. The Dragons wasted a couple of opportunities in the second half until Gareth Bale converted a penalty kick to record his first World Cup goal.</p>

<p><strong>Wales form&nbsp;</strong></p>

<p>Wales' star player wasn't at his best, but his assured 12-yard shot has put Wales in a position where, if they can beat Iran, they will control their own destiny. Robert Page's team has now gone six games without a victory and has only won once in nine games.&nbsp;Joe Allen's fitness was the sole question mark for Wales going into the tournament, but after taking a knock in the opening game, eyes will now be on Ethan Ampadu.<br />
&nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>Iran form</strong>&nbsp;</p>

<p>Iran, on the other hand, should remain positive and give their all against Wales since a victory today would significantly increase Iran's prospects of making it through to the Round of 16 (if England defeats USA in the other Group B match).&nbsp;Despite having qualified for the last two World Cups, Iran has never made it past the group stage.&nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>Team news</strong>&nbsp;</p>

<p>Before this match, Page is struggling with a variety of selection decisions, including whether to start Kieffer Moore following his impact against the USA. Harry Wilson may also be in line to move to the bench for substitutes, so Page may want to control fitness levels even if Daniel James would be the favourite to withdraw. Ethan Ampadu's ankle ailment will be closely watched, and Joe Morrell will step in if necessary. Joe Allen, who hasn't played since September because of an injury, is also back in the mix. Due to concussion regulations following Alireza Beiranvand's head injury against England, Iran will be obliged to swap goalies.</p>

<p><strong>Wales predicted lineup: </strong>Hennessey; Mepham, Rodon, Davies; Roberts, Ramsey, Ampadu, Williams; James, Bale; Moore</p>

<p><strong>Iran predicted lineup: </strong>H. Hosseini; Moharrami, Pouraliganji, Cheshmi, M. Hosseini, Mohammadi; Jahanbakhsh, Noorollahi, Karimi, Gholizadeh; Taremi</p>

<p>Cristiano Ronaldo said Thursday that he had put his recent troubles at Manchester United behind him after scoring in a record-breaking fifth World Cup as Portugal squeezed past Ghana 3-2.</p>

<p>Ageing icon Ronaldo smashed home a 65th-minute penalty to move ahead of Pele, Uwe Seeler and Miroslav Klose, who all netted in four World Cups, days after parting ways with Manchester United.&nbsp;</p>

<p>He then graced the reporters present with a two-minute press conference in which he answered one question, despite being named man of the match in Portugal's opening Group H win.</p>

<p>"It was a beautiful moment, my fifth World Cup, we won, and we started with our good foot. It's a very important win, we know the first match is crucial, but the world record is also something that makes me very proud," said Ronaldo.</p>

<p>Premier League giants United announced this week that Ronaldo was leaving after he criticised the club and manager Erik ten Hag in a TV interview.

<p>"It was an important step, it was a week which finished this chapter. It is closed, and we want to start on the good foot," added Ronaldo.&nbsp;</p>

Cristiano Ronaldo says Manchester United chapter closed after breaking World Cup scoring record

<p>Portugal opened their campaign in the FIFA World Cup 2022, in Qatar, on Thursday evening (November 24). Cristiano Ronaldo was in action on the fifth day of the mega event and saw his side edge past a competitive Ghana line-up, 3-2, to pick up full points from their Group H encounter. The match had plenty of ebbs and flows before the former Euro champions ended on top.&nbsp;</p>

<p>In the game, Ronaldo entered an elite list of footballers to have featured in as many as five separate World Cups. Moreover, he scored in the 65th minute, to&nbsp;create&nbsp;history by becoming the first-ever player in FIFA WC&nbsp; to score in five editions of the mega event. From Ghana, Andre Ayew and Osman Bukari struck once each but the latter made heads turn by replicating Ronaldo's iconic goal celebration. In addition, Ronaldo reacted to Bukari's celebration.<strong> Here's the video:</strong></p>

Switzerland vs Cameroon debut at Qatar FIFA World Cup 2022:  Match predictions, preview and lineup

<p>FIFA&nbsp;have opened&nbsp;proceedings&nbsp;against&nbsp;the&nbsp;Mexican&nbsp;Football Association following&nbsp;chants&nbsp;by the country's&nbsp;fans during Tuesday's 0-0&nbsp;draw&nbsp;with&nbsp;Poland&nbsp;at the World Cup in Qatar, world soccer's governing body said on Wednesday. FIFA&nbsp;did not elaborate on the&nbsp;chants&nbsp;but&nbsp;Mexicans were heard directing abuse after&nbsp;Poland&nbsp;striker Robert Lewandowski saw his second-half penalty saved by goalkeeper Guillermo Ochoa.</p>

<p>"The&nbsp;FIFA&nbsp;Disciplinary Committee has opened&nbsp;proceedings&nbsp;against&nbsp;the&nbsp;Mexican&nbsp;Football Association due to&nbsp;chants&nbsp;by&nbsp;Mexican&nbsp;supporters during the Mexico v&nbsp;Poland&nbsp;FIFA&nbsp;World Cup match played on 22 November," it said. "The&nbsp;proceedings&nbsp;were opened on the basis of article 13 of the&nbsp;FIFA&nbsp;Disciplinary Code." FIFA&nbsp;had also opened disciplinary&nbsp;proceedings&nbsp;against&nbsp;Ecuador&nbsp;over&nbsp;homophobic chanting by their&nbsp;fans in their World Cup opener&nbsp;against&nbsp;Qatar on Sunday.</p>

<p>FIFA&nbsp;said it has opened disciplinary proceedings against&nbsp;Ecuador&nbsp;over&nbsp;homophobic&nbsp;chanting by their fans in their World Cup opener. Ecuador&nbsp;had faced possible expulsion from the tournament after Chile complained they had fielded an ineligible player during the qualifiers. They were fined and received a points deduction for the next World Cup qualifiers but have been allowed to compete in Qatar. The player, Byron Castillo, was left out of the squad to avoid further controversy.

FIFA have opened proceedings against the Mexican Football Association following chants by the country's fans during Tuesday's 0-0 draw with Poland at the World Cup in Qatar, world soccer's governing body said on Wednesday. FIFA did not elaborate on the chants but Mexicans were heard directing abuse after Poland striker Robert Lewandowski saw his second-half penalty saved by goalkeeper Guillermo Ochoa. "The FIFA Disciplinary Committee has opened proceedings against the Mexican Football Association due to chants by Mexican supporters during the Mexico v Poland FIFA World Cup match played on 22 November," it said. "The proceedings were opened on the basis of article 13 of the FIFA Disciplinary Code." FIFA had also opened disciplinary proceedings against Ecuador over homophobic chanting by their fans in their World Cup opener against Qatar on Sunday. FIFA said it has opened disciplinary proceedings against Ecuador over homophobic chanting by their fans in their World Cup opener. Ecuador had faced possible expulsion from the tournament after Chile complained they had fielded an ineligible player during the qualifiers. They were fined and received a points deduction for the next World Cup qualifiers but have been allowed to compete in Qatar. The player, Byron Castillo, was left out of the squad to avoid further controversy. At Ecuador's opening game against Qatar, to kick off the World Cup on Sunday, some among their massed ranks of yellow-clad fans sang a homophobic chant against Chileans.

<p><strong>Portugal v Ghana FIFA World Cup 2022 match preview:</strong> Portugal will face off against Ghana, an African superpower, on 24 November, in an effort to get their FIFA World Cup 2022 campaign off to a strong start. Cristiano Ronaldo and his team will be the centre of attention as they attempt to establish their dominance over the competition. Additionally, this will be Ronaldo's first game since his recent interview, which infuriated Manchester United's management. Here is match preview and predictions, squad and everything you need to know about the key matchup, with Ghana aiming for an upset.</p>

<h2><strong>Portugal Form at FIFA WC 2022&nbsp;</strong></h2>

<p>Ronaldo, the five-time winner of the Ballon d'Or after repeated World Cup setbacks will be anxious to help Portugal finally win the big one. Despite being a well-known footballing nation, Portugal has only been to the World Cup semifinals twice, in 1966 and 2006, and they haven't advanced past the round of 16 in four of their last five competitions. A Selecao lost to fellow Group H opponents Uruguay in the round of 16 at the World Cup finals in Russia in 2018, and they have only managed to win three of their past 11 games there. However, they did a great job of preparing for the competition by crushing Nigeria 4-0 earlier. Santos's team has struggled to win any of their last three opening games on the biggest international stage, so fast starts have not been a theme for Portugal at the World Cup. Ghana will need to put on their best shooting boots if they hope to get past a Portuguese defence that has only allowed two goals in their last seven games.</p>

<h2><strong>Ghana Form in QATAR&nbsp;&nbsp;</strong></h2>

<p>Ghana has their sights set in Group H. Uruguay has been waiting patiently to keep the Black Stars from making it to the semifinals but Ghana is getting ready for its fourth World Cup appearance since 2006. &nbsp;The African nation has only been eliminated once at the group stage. On December 2, the two sides will resume hostilities. Earlier this year, before Ghana football manager Otto Addo took over, the Black Stars also lost all three of their games at the Africa Cup of Nations. Ghana entered the World Cup having won seven of their last eight games across all competitions, keeping clean sheets in all of those victories, and only losing to Brazil during that run. They also impressively defeated Switzerland 2-0 in a friendly last week.</p>

<h2><strong>Portugal vs. Ghana Head-to-Head</strong></h2>

<p>At this level of football, Portugal and Ghana are not complete strangers. At the 2014 World Cup, Ronaldo helped the A Selecao defeat the Black Stars 2-1, and a similar performance in Qatar would help him in his quest to once again make headlines for the right reasons.</p>

<h2><strong>When is the match?&nbsp;</strong></h2>

Portugal v Ghana FIFA World Cup 2022 after Ronaldo’s BOMBSHELL interview, match predictions & preview inside

<p>Portugal captain Cristiano Ronaldo shrugged off his bitter split with Manchester United to claim yet another record as he became the first player to score in five World Cups with a penalty to help steer his side to a nervy 3-2 win over Ghana on Thursday.</p>

<p>The first-half of the Group H clash was forgettable apart from a couple of Ronaldo chances, but it burst into life after the interval as Portugal belatedly began their campaign.</p>

<p>Ronaldo, a free agent after his second stint at Old Trafford ended abruptly on Tuesday, thumped home a dubiously-awarded penalty in the 65th minute after an innocuous coming together with Mohammed Salisu saw the referee point to the spot.</p>

<p>Ghana did nothing in the first half apart from defend deeply but gave their noisy bank of fans in the 974 Stadium something to cheer when Andre Ayew equalised in the 73rd minute.</p>

<p>Joao Felix restored Portugal's lead five minutes later, however, and Ronaldo then showed his class with a jinking run before sliding a pass to Rafael Leao to leave Ghana stunned.</p>

Here's why Lionel Messi can still guide Argentina to win Qatar FIFA World Cup 2022

<p>Uruguay faltered in their World Cup opener against a lively and energetic South Korea after they were held to a 0-0 draw in Group H on Thursday in a contest where both teams struggled to find the clinical edge.</p>

<p>Clear-cut chances were rare for either side at the Education City Stadium and although Uruguay created more goalscoring opportunities, neither team were able to register a shot on target.</p>

<p>Uruguay captain Diego Godin was denied by the woodwork while South Korea forward Hwang Ui-jo blasted over the bar with the goal at his mercy, leaving both teams to rue missed chances before group rivals Portugal and Ghana meet later on in the day.</p>

<p>Uruguay's first sight of goal came in the 19th minute through Federico Valverde, who connected with Jose Maria Gimenez's pass and took a touch before firing a half-volley towards goal, but his ambitious attempt went just over the bar.</p>

<p>The South Americans had begun to find their footing when South Korea, having been patient so far, disrupted their rhythm and launched a counter-attack from a Uruguay corner before the half-hour mark.</p>

<p>Son Heung-min picked up the ball on the left flank and cut inside, skipping past two Uruguay defenders before curling a right-footed effort towards goal, but left-back Mathias Olivera was able to clear it away.</p>

<p>South Korea should have taken the lead in the 34th minute when Moon-hwan Kim fizzed the ball into the penalty area and into the path of Hwang in front of goal, but the forward could not keep his composure and sent it over the crossbar.</p>

<p>The closest Uruguay came to scoring in the first half was just before the break, when centre back Godin rose highest to power a header from Valverde's corner but it bounced off the left post and away from goal.</p>

<p>Gimenez made a crucial tackle to deny Son five minutes after the restart after a flowing move from South Korea, while Jung Woo-young blocked midfielder Rodrigo Bentancur's powerful strike at the other end.</p>

<p>Uruguay saw more of the ball but found few chances to break through the South Korean defence until the closing stages, when Valverde unleashed a thunderbolt in the final minute of regulation time that struck the top of the post.</p>

The South Americans had begun to find their footing when South Korea, having been patient so far, disrupted their rhythm and launched a counter-attack from a Uruguay corner before the half-hour mark.

South Korea should have taken the lead in the 34th minute when Moon-hwan Kim fizzed the ball into the penalty area and into the path of Hwang in front of goal, but the forward could not keep his composure and sent it over the crossbar. The closest Uruguay came to scoring in the first half was just before the break, when centre back Godin rose highest to power a header from Valverde's corner but it bounced off the left post and away from goal.

Uruguay saw more of the ball but found few chances to break through the South Korean defence until the closing stages, when Valverde unleashed a thunderbolt in the final minute of regulation time that struck the top of the post.

FIFA World Cup 2022: Struggling Uruguay held by South Korea in goalless stalemate

<p>The German national team staged a silent protest ahead of their clash against Japan in the FIFA World Cup 2022 on Wednesday. In a symbolic gesture of being silenced, German players decided to cover their mouths with their hands while posing for the team photo ahead of kick-off against Japan.</p>

<p>Their gesture was apparently in protest against world football's governing body FIFA after its decision to bar seven teams from wearing the 'OneLove' armband expressing support for the LGBTQ+ community. Captains of seven teams, including Germany and Belgium, had decided to wear the special armband but had to ditch the plan after FIFA's warning.</p>

<p>FIFA threatened the teams that their captains will be booked even before the start of the match if they were sported wearing the armband. German players decided to express their disappointment against FIFA by protesting against the world body, however, Belgium's Eden Hazard argued the Germans should have stuck to football.</p>

<p>When asked if his team planned to do something similar in their first game against Canada on Wednesday, Hazard said Belgium are in Qatar to play football and they would like to focus on doing only that. The Real Madrid star also took a dig at Germany stating that they should have focused on winning the game.</p>

<p>"They'd have done better not to do it (the protest) and to win instead," said Hazard.</p>

<p>"We are here to play football. I'm not here to send a political message. Other people are better placed for that. We want to be focused on football," he added.</p>

They'd have done better to win instead: Belgium's Eden Hazard on Germany's protest against FIFA in World Cup

<p>Michy Batshuayi's first-half goal proved enough for a below-par Belgium to squeeze to a 1-0 win over a Canada side playing their first World Cup match for 36 years on Wednesday.</p>

<p>Belgium goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois saved Alphonso Davies' early penalty and Batshuayi opened the scoring against the run of play in the 44th minute.</p>

<p>John Herdman's Canada, roared on by their vocal support, also had another strong penalty appeal turned down and dominated the second half to no avail.</p>

<p>Belgium were without injured record goalscorer Romelu Lukaku and struggled throughout with the pace of Canada's forwards.</p>

<p>But the 2018 semi-finalists clung on to move top of what could prove a hotly-contested Group F after Croatia and Morocco's goalless draw earlier on Wednesday.</p>

<p>"Was it technically our 'worst game', yes, when you measure the performance," admitted Belgium coach Roberto Martinez. "Was it the 'worst game', no, because we won.</p>

<p>"We defended well and we needed our goalkeeper."</p>

<p>Canada will head into their game against Croatia on Sunday still full of confidence after more than matching the team ranked second in the world, who next face Morocco.</p>

<p>"They showed tonight that they do belong here. It's been a long time since we've been back," said Herdman, the first coach to lead teams at women's and men's World Cups.</p>

<p>"I'm sure they (the fans) walked away proud and feeling like we are a football nation.</p>

<p>"I think this group stage is wide open now after the Croatia-Morocco result."</p>

<p>The North Americans, matching Belgium in formation by playing three at the back, made a bright start and Jonathan David's low effort was deflected wide.</p>

<p>From the resulting corner, Tajon Buchanan's strike was blocked by Yannick Carrasco with his arm and a penalty was awarded after a VAR check in the 11th minute.</p>

<p>But Davies produced a weak effort which was saved low to his right by Courtois, before David lashed the rebound over the crossbar.</p>

<p>Belgium's ageing defence were struggling with the pace of the Canada attackers and Junior Hoilett got in behind before firing a shot wide.</p>

<p>The underdogs kept coming, as Courtois palmed away right wing-back Alistair Johnston's fierce drive and David headed off target.</p>

<p><strong>VAR controversy</strong></p>

<p>Canada had a big penalty appeal turned down despite a VAR review when Axel Witsel was outpaced by Richie Laryea inside the area and then tripped his opponent.</p>

<p>Belgium grabbed the lead out of nothing when a simple long ball over the top from Toby Alderweireld found the run of Batshuayi who hammered home left-footed.</p>

<p>There was still time for Canada to create, and waste, another glorious opportunity before the break, as Laryea's low cross was fired over on the slide by Buchanan from six yards out.</p>

<p>Martinez made a double substitution at half-time to try and stem the tide, with Thomas Meunier replacing Carrasco and Everton youngster Amadou Onana coming into the midfield.</p>

<p>Canada could have levelled just minutes after the restart, though, as David headed wide from Stephen Eustaquio's delicious cross after the Porto midfielder had nutmegged Kevin De Bruyne.</p>

<p>Herdman's men continued to flood forward, but could not find the finishing touch required, with Buchanan miskicking horribly from the edge of the box.</p>

<p>The more men Canada committed, the more dangerous Belgium looked on the break and Laryea made a wonderful last-ditch tackle to deny Batshuayi a second goal.</p>

<p>Substitute Cyle Larin, the top scorer in CONCACAF qualifying for the tournament, headed too close to Courtois in a frantic finale.</p>

<p>De Bruyne could have put the game to bed but blazed into the crowd, while Larin sent another header spinning over Courtois' bar as Belgium fell over the line.</p>

FIFA World Cup 2022 | Batshuayi fires Belgium to World Cup win over Canada

<p>Ever since the Qatar World Cup kicked off on Sunday (November 20), football fans across the globe have been eagerly waiting to see Cristiano Ronaldo on the field. On Thursday evening (November 24), Ronaldo will be in action as Portugal will open their campaign in the 32-nation tournament in the Middle East. Portugal will play Ghana in a Group H encounter. Anything less than a win won't be impressive for the Portuguese line-up as they are placed in a tricky group which also comprises Uruguay and South Korea.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Portugal are coming into the mega event on the back of a disappointing run in Euro 2020, where they bowed out in the Round of 16 with a defeat at the hands of Belgium, and ended their campaign in the UEFA Nations League after a 1-0 loss versus Spain. In the Nations League, they managed three wins, a draw and two defeats. Against their opposition in their Qatar 2022 opener, Portugal have faced them only once before and lost 1-2. The incident took place in the 2014 FIFA WC, hence, Ronaldo &amp; Co. won't be taking Ghana lightly by any means. In addition, the Portugal captain will join arch-rival Lionel Messi in an elite list when he steps on to the field; becoming one of the very few players to have appeared in five separate World Cups.&nbsp;Thus, Portugal will like to start off with a bang in Ronaldo's special encounter. Two heavyweights such as Argentina and Germany have already lost their opening ties, hence, the former Euro champions will be on their toes for a fitting start.</p>

<h2><strong>Brazil vs Serbia Head to Head&nbsp;</strong></h2>

<p>Brazil and Serbia have only met twice since their respective nations' creation.

Brazil won the group and advanced as the top team with goals from Thiago Silva and&nbsp;Paulinho.</p>

<p>The other encounter between the teams occurred in a cordial one week prior to the commencement of the 2014 FIFA World Cup, and Brazil won&nbsp;that game thanks to a single goal from Fred in the second half. The most recent match could be Europe's first chance to defeat Brazil, while the defending&nbsp;champions will try to get off to a&nbsp;strong start.</p>

<p>After the first match of the group stage, Brazil will have another 2018 World Cup group stage replay as they face Switzerland at Stadium 974 in Doha.&nbsp;Despite the fact that the match's outcome will have a significant impact on the group winner's standing, the contest will still take place on Monday,&nbsp;November 28.

<p>The five-time champions will face Cameroon in&nbsp;the final group stage match on Friday, December 2 at the Lusail Iconic Stadium in Lusail, on the final matchday.

<p>Switzerland edged Cameroon 1-0 courtesy of a goal against the run of play by apologetic Breel Embolo versus the country of his birth for an opening win in World Cup Group G at the Al Janoub Stadium on Thursday.</p>

<p>Embolo, born in Yaounde but raised in Basel, struck three minutes after the restart from a Xherdan Shaqiri cut-back to put them top of the section.</p>

<p>The 25-year-old refused to celebrate the goal on his 60th international appearance, lifting his hands in the air and frowning as the small group of Swiss fans cheered wildly at Al Janoub Stadium.</p>

<p>Serbia play Brazil in the other group match later on Thursday. Swiss coach Murat Yakin praised his team's overall display.</p>

<p>"This was a mature performance with a lot of solidarity from the entire team," he said.</p>

Embolo scores as Switzerland secure narrow 1-0 win over Cameroon in FIFA World Cup 2022

<p>Switzerland forward Breel Embolo scored the winner for his side to help them beat Cameroon and get off to a winning start in the ongoing FIFA World Cup 2022. Embolo scored his first goal in a World Cup for Switzerland at the Janoub Stadium in Al-Wakrah, Qatar but refused to celebrate as it came against Cameroon.</p>

<p>Switzerland started the game on a confident note and were clearly the better side in the first few minutes of the game. However, Cameroon managed to keep the Swiss attackers at bay with some solid defence. Embolo was kept quiet for the majority of the first half but his moment arrived just minutes after the break.</p>

<p>The Swiss striker opened the scoring for his team in the 48th minute with a calm tap-in from six yards out on a cross from his teammate Xherdan Shaqiri. Xhaka started the attack for Switzerland from the midfield as he laid it down to Shaqiri on the right. Shaqiri produced a perfect cross for Embolo to tap it home from a close distance to give Switzerland a much-needed lead.</p>

Japan players and support staff cleaned their dressing room and left it looking spotless before leaving the Khalifa Internation Stadium where the game was played.</p>

<p>Japan managed to pull off a massive upset against four-time champions Germany as they defeated Hansi Flick's men 2-1. Iiikay Gundogan's penalty gave the Germans the lead in the 33rd minute to put them 1-0 ahead but goals from Ritsu Doan and Takuma Asano in the second half propelled Japan to a historic victory.</p>

<p>While they were lauded by many for their fabulous performance on the field, the Japanese team's&nbsp;gesture off the field also left millions around the world in awe. The members of the Japanese team ensured they cleaned their dressing room and kept everything back in its place before leaving the stadium.</p>

FIFA World Cup 2022: Switzerland to face Cameroon today

<p>Uruguay and South Korea, both the groups of the Qatar FIFA World Cup 2022 have seen consistent competition. The current Uruguayan squad of athletes is quite promising. Despite having won the competition twice, Uruguay hasn't gone all the way since their title-winning run at the 1950 World Cup in Brazil. As&nbsp;Uruguay and South Korea are set to lock horns it will be interesting to watch who will seize the game and pull off a stunning win at the big tournament.</p>

<h2><strong>Uruguay form at Qatar FIFA World Cup 2022</strong></h2>

<p>Since Diego Alonso replaced Oscar Tabarez as coach of the Uruguayan team La Celeste at the end of the last year, they have been in superb form. Despite the success they are getting on the field, Uruguay's preparation has been in turmoil since Tabarez was fired as manager after being in the position for 15 years. Although Alonso has radically changed a team that was on the brink of collapse after some appalling performances in South American qualification, he still isn't sure of his best starting eleven. However all these details will not matter as long as they continue to play the game well both offensively and defensively, as they have only conceded twice in his nine games in charge.</p>

<h2><strong>South Korea form at Qatar FIFA World Cup 2022</strong></h2>

<p>South Korea, meanwhile, come into the tournament with an under-fire manager and a squad which has underwhelmed in the build up to Qatar. In addition, the team experienced the worst-case scenario on the eve of the competition when Son Heung-min suffered an injury in the Champions League and needed surgery to repair a fractured eye socket. However, the footballer has vowed to go to all lengths to play. It is because without him South Korea won't be as strong mentally or tactically. Given his disruptive tournament preparation, there is also a chance that he won't be at full strength if manager Paulo Bento decides to risk him right away. More pressure will be placed on their strong defence as a result of the uncertainty surrounding their attacking star, but they have already shown they can do it by allowing just three goals in their ten AFC final stage qualifiers.</p>

<h2><strong>Uruguay vs South Korea Head to Head at Qatar FIFA World Cup 2022</strong></h2>

<p>In all competitions, Uruguay and South Korea have faced each other off for a total of eight times. They initially met in the Nehru Cup in 1982, and since then they have met one another for seven times. In these matchups, Uruguay has been the superior team and currently holds a 6-1 victory advantage, with one game ending in a tie. Additionally, two of these encounters happened during the FIFA World Cup. Uruguay prevailed 1-0 in their 1990 World Cup group-stage encounter. In 2010, they faced again in the round of 16, and Uruguay once more prevailed. La Celeste won that game 2-1 thanks to a brace from Luis Suarez.</p>

<h2><strong>Uruguay predicted lineup: </strong></h2>

<p>Rochet; Varela, Godin, Gimenez, Olivera; Bentancur, Vecino, Valverde; De Arrascaeta, L Suarez, Nunez</p>

<h2><strong>South Korea predicted lineup: </strong></h2>

<p>Seung-gyu; Moon-hwan, Young-gwon, Min-jae, Jin-su; Woo-Young, Hwang In-beom, Jae-sung; Hee-chan, Heung-min, Ui-jo<br />
&nbsp;</p>

<h2><strong>Uruguay vs South Korea Kick off date, time and venue&nbsp;</strong></h2>

FIFA World Cup: Ronaldo to join Messi in illustrious list in Portugal's opening tie vs Ghana

<p>The action continues in the ongoing FIFA World Cup 2022 edition, in Qatar, after lots of action on Wednesday (November 23). On Thursday (November 24), Switzerland take on Cameroon in Group C and both sides will be eyeing a win in their respective tournament openers as they are placed in a tough group, along with power-packed Brazil and Serbia.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The pressure will be on Cameroon to get off the mark and claim all three points from their face-off versus the Swiss line-up. In their last two World Cup appearances, in 2010 and 2014, they lost all their three games each and, thus, they will have to be on their toes in their first game of the tournament in Qatar. The Swiss, on the other hand, are in a much better space, having topped the qualifying round and also impressing one and all in the Nations League where they beat teams like Portugal, Spain and Czech Republic. They also reached the quarter-finals in the Euro 2020 and, thus, will be confident to get past Cameroon.</p>

The action continues in the ongoing FIFA World Cup 2022 edition, in Qatar, after lots of action on Wednesday (November 23). On Thursday (November 24), Switzerland take on Cameroon in Group C and both sides will be eyeing a win in their respective tournament openers as they are placed in a tough group, along with power-packed Brazil and Serbia. The pressure will be on Cameroon to get off the mark and claim all three points from their face-off versus the Swiss line-up. In their last two World Cup appearances, in 2010 and 2014, they lost all their three games each and, thus, they will have to be on their toes in their first game of the tournament in Qatar. The Swiss, on the other hand, are in a much better space, having topped the qualifying round and also impressing one and all in the Nations League where they beat teams like Portugal, Spain and Czech Republic. They also reached the quarter-finals in the Euro 2020 and, thus, will be confident to get past Cameroon.

<p>Germany&nbsp;coach Hansi Flick expressed his disappointment with FIFA's decision to ban players from wearing a "OneLove" armband at the World Cup. Speaking to media on Tuesday (November 22), the day before&nbsp;Germany&nbsp;take on Japan, Flick said his team had wanted to make the statement to promote LGBT rights, but FIFA's short-notice decision to ban the armbands before England took on Iran on Monday (November 21) meant there was no time to coordinate with the other countries.</p>

<p>The&nbsp;federations of England, Wales, Belgium, the Netherlands, Switzerland,&nbsp;Germany&nbsp;and Denmark had said on Monday they had been put under pressure by FIFA, who had threatened to issue yellow cards to any player wearing the multi-coloured armband. "The team is very unhappy and shocked that something like this is not allowed because it is just a sign for human rights and diversity and they are also the values that we as a team live and represent."Flick told a news conference.</p>

<p>It is to be noted that Germany’s football federation plans legal steps against FIFA&nbsp;over its banning of OneLove rainbow armbands as it faced the humiliating decision by one of the country’s largest supermarket chains to cut its commercial ties over the issue.
