The Atlantic Cup Overview

Jude Bellingham took it all in after the full-time whistle had blown. He looked up at the stands, an impressive wall of England fans who had travelled 'across the pond' into the boiling metropolis of Dallas, and the supporters were singing. Oasis' 'Wonderwall' filled the air - helped by the acoustics at the indoor Dallas Stadium - and Bellingham allowed a brief smile to flicker across his lips. He had made the difference against Croatia, and he knew it.

Cody Gakpo inspired the Netherlands to a statement 5-1 victory over Sweden, leaving Liverpool fans wondering why they don't see this version of the winger more often. The 27-year-old was the architect of a Dutch masterclass in Houston, proving once again that he is a completely different beast when wearing the famous Oranje shirt.

Journalist France Pierron apologized on Saturday following a controversial segment on the L'Equipe television channel. She had strongly criticized Belgian winger Jeremy Doku's decision to temporarily leave the 2026 World Cup to be present for the birth of his first child.

Eloy Room produced the performance of a lifetime to help Curacao secure their first-ever World Cup point in a gritty 0-0 draw against Ecuador on Saturday. The Miami FC goalkeeper was in impenetrable form, matching ex-USMNT star Tim Howard's legendary record as he single-handedly kept the South Americans at bay during an evening of historic defiance in Kansas City.
