One week into FIFA World Cup 2026 and the global tournament has already delivered some incredible moments.
Most notably in this part of the world has been the All Whites' 2-2 draw with Iran that showed a side that is eager to create scoring opportunities, while the Socceroos have put the USA on notice in Group D with their 2-0 win over Türkiye.
Here's your guide for all the matches from the group stage's second week that will be live on the Sport Nation network and where you can still listen to our flagship shows Scotty & Izzy, Mornings, Afternoons, and Millsy & Guy.
