Day 11 of the 2026 FIFA World Cup features four pivotal Group G and Group H matchups, all carrying enormous weight after a first matchday that saw every single opener end in a draw. Spain, fresh off a surprising 0-0 stalemate with Cape Verde, looks to get on the board against Saudi Arabia in Atlanta. Belgium, after being held 1-1 by Egypt, meets a resilient Iran side that battled to a 2-2 draw with New Zealand. In the day’s final two matches, Uruguay needs a win over Cape Verde after drawing 1-1 with Saudi Arabia, while New Zealand and Egypt (both in search of their first World Cup victory) square off in Vancouver. All four matches air on FOX or FS1 and stream live on FOX One.<\/p>\n
Forward \u00b7\u00a0Spain<\/p>\n
The Barcelona prodigy came off the bench in the opening match, but even he wasn’t able to get one past Cape Verde’s Vozinha. Expected to step into the starting lineup on Sunday, Yamal brings the elite vision, pace, and creativity La Roja desperately needs to unlock a stubborn Saudi defense.<\/p>\n
Midfielder \u00b7\u00a0Belgium<\/p>\n
The Napoli midfielder remains the heartbeat of Belgium’s creative engine. After a tightly contested opener where Egypt successfully crowded his passing lanes, De Bruyne will look to get on the scoresheet in Los Angeles, whether its scoring or assisting.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Goalkeeper \u00b7\u00a0Cape Verde<\/p>\n
The 40-year-old veteran keeper turned back the clock against Spain, pulling off spectacular saves to preserve a clean sheet. Cape Verde\u2019s will heavily rely on his organizational leadership and shot-stopping ability. If Vozinha can replicate his opening-day magic in Miami, Cape Verde might just be able to pull off another historic result.<\/p>\n
Midfielder \u00b7\u00a0New Zealand<\/p>\n
Elijah Just introduced himself to many fans watching New Zealand’s opening match, scoring in both the 7th and 54th minutes to secure a crucial point for the All Whites. Just\u2019s clever movement off the ball, raw pace, and clinical finishing will be tested heavily against the Egyptian backline. If his teammates can supply him with service, Just has the form to score again.<\/p>\n
