The 2026 World Cup is in full swing. This Monday (22), four matches will liven up the second round of the group stage. The day features major stars on the pitch such as Messi, Halland, Mbappé, as well as national teams fighting to stay alive in the tournament.
Argentina and Austria face off at 2:00 PM (Brasília time) at AT&T Stadium in Dallas. The match is valid for the second round of Group J.
Argentina is looking to secure early qualification for the knockout stage. In the opener, the 3-0 win over Algeria featured three goals from Lionel Messi. The star now has 16 World Cup goals and, if he finds the net again, he will become the tournament’s all-time leading scorer, moving ahead of Miroslav Klose.
Austria is also aiming for a spot in the next round. The Europeans beat Jordan 3-1 in the first round and remain focused on keeping up their perfect record.
France and Iraq meet at 6:00 PM (Brasília time). The ball rolls at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia for a Group I clash.
After beating Senegal 3-1, France will mathematically secure a place in the second round with another win. Kylian Mbappé led the opener with two goals and now has 14 World Cup goals. That means the forward needs three more to surpass Miroslav Klose’s record.
Meanwhile, Iraq is trying to erase the poor impression left in its debut. That is because the Iraqi national team lost 4-1 to Norway.
Norway and Senegal take the field at 9:00 PM (Brasília time) at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey in a Group I matchup.
Norway is seeking early qualification for the knockout stage. In the opening round, the Nordics thrashed Iraq 4-1, with two goals from Haaland. Senegal, meanwhile, is looking to bounce back after a 3-1 defeat to France.
Jordan and Algeria face each other at 12:00 AM on Tuesday (23) at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, in the second round of Group J. In other words, although the match closes out the round, the clock technically marks the start of the early hours of Tuesday (23).
Algeria suffered a 3-0 defeat to Argentina in the opener. Similarly, Jordan also began its campaign with a loss, falling 3-1 to Austria.
