Group I — What Each Team Needed (Pre-Match)
Pre-MD3 standings: France 6pts (1st) · Senegal 3pts (2nd) · Norway 3pts (3rd) · Iraq 0pts (4th)
- 🇫🇷 France — already qualified as Group I winners. A win confirms 1st. Can rest key players.
- 🇸🇳 Senegal — qualify with a win. A draw may be enough depending on Norway's result. Cannot afford a loss.
- 🇳🇴 Norway — must beat France AND hope Senegal don't win. Both conditions required. Very difficult path but not impossible.
- 🇮🇶 Iraq — eliminated regardless. Playing for pride and future FIFA ranking points.
NYC angle: Norway (Group I runner-up) faces Ivory Coast on July 1 in Arlington. France (Group I winner) plays at MetLife on June 30. Senegal have a significant NYC community in Harlem and the Bronx.

Group H Final Standings
| Team | P | W | D | L | GF | GA | GD | Pts |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1. 🇪🇸 Spain ✅ | 3 | 2 | 1 | 0 | 5 | 0 | +5 | 7 |

Cape Verde make history — 3 draws, 3 points, through to the R32. They face Argentina (Group J winner) in their next match. Spain face the Group J runner-up.
Group H — 8:00 PM ET (simultaneous)
Pre-MD3 standings: Spain 6pts (1st) · Cape Verde 4pts (2nd) · Uruguay 3pts (3rd) · Saudi Arabia 0pts (4th)
- 🇪🇸 Spain — already qualified. Win = 1st place confirmed. Pedri, Yamal, Morata all expected to feature.
- 🇨🇻 Cape Verde — qualify with a win or draw. A loss while Uruguay win = could be overtaken. Already one of the tournament's biggest stories.
- 🇺🇾 Uruguay — must beat Spain AND hope Cape Verde lose. Darwin Núñez and Valverde both need big performances. NYC's Uruguayan community in Astoria will be watching nervously.
- 🇸🇦 Saudi Arabia — eliminated. Disappointing exit after 2022's famous win over Argentina.
Group G — 11:00 PM ET (simultaneous)
Pre-MD3 standings: Belgium 6pts (1st) · Egypt 4pts (2nd) · Iran 3pts (3rd) · New Zealand 0pts (4th)
- 🇧🇪 Belgium — already qualified as Group G winners. The Golden Generation's last chance — Lukaku, De Bruyne, Courtois all in this squad.
- 🇪🇬 Egypt — qualify with a win or draw. A loss while Iran win could see them pipped. Mo Salah leading the line.
- 🇮🇷 Iran — must win AND hope Egypt lose. Need both results to go their way. Possible but requires Iran's best performance.
- 🇳🇿 New Zealand — eliminated. The All Whites have been competitive but couldn't get the results.
