The 2030 tournament will be spread across six nations and three continents: Uruguay, Argentina and Paraguay are scheduled to host one match apiece at the start of the competition, with the remaining games split between Morocco, Portugal and Spain.

At this World Cup, several players such as England’s Djed Spence, Algeria’s Luca Zidane, Uruguay’s Sebastian Caceres and Austria’s Stefan Posch have been sporting protective facial gear. A mask is not a cure nor does it eliminate the risk of further injury or complications, but it is a compromise between recovery and competition.

Sixteen years ago today, Luis Suarez's deliberate handball stopped Ghana reaching the World Cup semi-finals ✋ "I made the best save of the tournament," said Uruguay's hero and the rest of the world's chief villain 😳

Sixteen years ago today, Luis Suarez became public enemy No 1 in Ghana. With Uruguay and Ghana locked at 1-1 at the very end of extra time in the World Cup quarter-final, the former Liverpool and Barcelona forward palmed away Dominic Adiyah's goalbound effort on the line. He was duly shown a red card. Suarez appeared to be in floods of tears as he headed down the tunnel, but his mood was instantly transformed as Asamoah Gyan's penalty struck the crossbar. Uruguay went on to win 4-2 on penalties to progress to the 2010 World Cup semi-finals, where they lost 3-2 to the Netherlands.

🚨 Lamine Yamal: “If you play with fear, the worst will happen to you in the end, and you might get injured on your own”. “I wasn't scared vs Uruguay, but it's true there were moments where you think: why would I run at full speed when we're already practically qualified?”.
