USA Eliminated Amid Controversy
USA, one of the co-hosts of the World Cup 2026, have been eliminated following a match in Seattle. The team insists that the red card issued to Folarin Balogun, which has sparked significant controversy, was influenced by external factors linked to Donald Trump.
Portugal's Exit and Ronaldo's Farewell
Portugal has also been knocked out of the tournament. This marks the end of the World Cup journey for the 41-year-old Cristiano Ronaldo, concluding his final appearance in the competition on a disappointing note.
