Colombia take on Ghana next in the World Cup. Here’s how you can secure your tickets

James Rodriguez has heaped praise on his former Real Madrid team-mate Cristiano Ronaldo after the pair reunited during a goalless World Cup group-stage match between Colombia and Portugal in Miami. The Colombia captain expressed his deep admiration for Ronaldo, highlighting their enduring friendship and marvelling at the incredible physical condition of the Portuguese superstar at 41 years old.

Four nations made debuts at the 2026 World Cup, with Cape Verde, Curacao, Jordan and Uzbekistan gracing the grandest stage in international football for the first time. It is the tournament with the most newcomers since 2006 and Cape Verde have achieved the feat of ending a 16-year wait for a debutant to reach the knockout stages, with the African nation to face Lionel Messi's Argentina on Friday.

Cristiano Ronaldo Jr has touched down in Miami alongside Georgina Rodriguez to support his father in the final group match against Colombia. The teenager was spotted wearing the iconic Portugal No.7 shirt, a jersey he looks destined to inherit as he continues his own burgeoning football career.
