2026 World Cup: June 15

Lightning struck twice! The real-life “upset” of the tournament played out just the same way on the tabletop, as little Cape Verde held Spain to a scoreless draw. Cape Verde actually had the best scoring chance of the game.

June 15 in real life produced four ties, but there were only two here. Belgium thrashed Egypt 4-0 and Uruguay edged a 10-man Saudi Arabia squad 1-0. New Zealand scored a 90th-minute goal to earn a tie with Iran.

Group G: Belgium 3 (1-0-0, +4); Iran 1 (0-0-1, 0); New Zealand 1 (0-0-1, 0); Egypt 0 (0-1-0, -4)

Group H: Uruguay 3 (1-0-0, +1); Cape Verde 1 (0-0-1, 0); Spain 1 (0-0-1, 0); Saudi Arabia 0 (0-1-0, -1)
