• 0:38
  Speaker 1: who fell, and who is the brand new number one
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: team in the world. Let's get started. Portugal drops four
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: spots to number ten after a disappointing one to one
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: draw against Dr Congo. Questions continue to surround Cristiano Rinaldo's
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: role with the national team. Portugal struggled to create consistent
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: chances and look vulnerable throughout the match. Rinaldo finished with
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: just twenty five touches and three off target shots. The
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: good news Portugal still has tremendous talent and plenty of
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: time to recover. Upcoming matches against whose Bekistan and Columbia
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: will determine whether Portugal can climb back into contention. The
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: United States enters the rankings at number nine after a
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: dominant four to one victory over Paraguay. This was exactly
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: the performance American fans were hoping for. Power and ballowed,
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: unscored twice and looked every bit like the elite striker
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: the US needs. The midfield trio of Tyler Adams, Weston
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: McKenny and Malik Tillman controlled the pace from start to finish.
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: Mauricio Pocatino's squad suddenly looks dangerous. The Americans face Australia next,
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: followed by Turkier with a chance to make a serious statement.
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: The Netherlands remain at number eight following a dramatic two
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: to two draw with Japan. The Dutch looked strong for
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: much of the match, but couldn't protect their lead. Virgil
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: Van Dyke in the defense, will face criticism at for
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: surrendering a late equalizer in the eighty eighth minute. Despite
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: the draw, the Orangi still possessed plenty of experience and firepower.
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: Matches against Sweden and Tunisia should provide opportunities to regain momentum.
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: Morocco rises two spots to number seven. The Atlas Lions
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: continue proving that their remarkable twenty twenty two World Cup
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: run was no flute. They earned an impressive one to
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: one draw against Brazil and look organized, disciplined, and dangerous
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: throughout the match. Akraft Kikimi is back to full fitness,
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: Brahem Diaz continues to create opportunities, and Ismael Sabery is
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: emerging as one of the tournament's breakout stars. Morocco remains
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: Africa's highest ranked team and a legitimate dark horse. Brazil
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: slips one spot to number six after being held to
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: a one to one draw by Morocco. While the result
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: wasn't disastrous, it wasn't what fans expected either. Brazil entered
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: the tournament among the favorites, but failed to separate themselves
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: from their African opponents. The Seleekow still possess elite talent
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: and remain one of the most dangerous teams in the competition. However,
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: questions are beginning to emerge. Can Brazil dominate elite opposition
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: the way previous championship teams have. The next matches against
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: Haiti and Scotland will tell us more. Germany jumps two
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: spots to number five after crushing Cursow seven to one.
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: This was one of the most dominant performances of the
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: entire opening round. Jamal Musilla was sensational, Florian works looked unstoppable,
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: High Haverts and Joshua Kimmich controlled the game from start
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: to finish. For years, Germany has struggled to recapture its
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: former glory, but after this performance, many are beginning to
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: wonder if the German machine is finally backed. Spain falls
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: three spots to number four following one of the biggest
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: surprises of the tournament. The world's second ranked team played
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: tournament newcomer Cape Byrd and managed only a zero to
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: zero draw. Few expected Spain to drop points in their
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: opening match. The good news as that young superstar Lamine
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: Yu Mal is healthy and expected to play a larger
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: role moving forward. Historically, Spain has started World Cups slowly.
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: The question now is whether this was simply another slow
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: star or a warning sign. Argentina remains steady at number three,
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: and why not Leonel Messi delivered one of the greatest
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: performances of the opening round. Argentina defeated Algeria three to zero.
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: Messi scored all three goals. The hat trick. Tide near
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: A Slog closes all time Men's World Cup scoring record
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: with sixteen career goals. At age thirty nine, Messi continues
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: making history with support from Lotaro Martinez, Enzo Fernandez and
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: Alexis MacAllister. Argentina looks fully capable of defending its World
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: Cup title. Never underestimate the magic of the goat. England
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: climbs two spots to number two after an impressive four
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: to two victory over Croatia. Harry Kane scored twice, Jude
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: Bellingham continued his rise as one of the world's best players.
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: Marcus Rashford added another goal. Lake manager Thomas Tushell appears
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: to have this squad playing with confidence and freedom. Many
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: questions some of England's roster decisions before the tournament. After
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: one match, those questions have largely disappeared. The Three Lions
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: look like genuine title contenders and finally the new number
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: one team in the world. France Less Blues rise to
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: the top spot. After defeating Senegal to the zero Killeon,
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: Mabape scored twice and became France's all time leading men's score.
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: The French attack looks explosive, the defense allowed almost nothing,
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: and the depth of talent throughout the roster is unmatched.
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: Michael OLiS continues his brilliant form, the midfield remains elite,
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: and Mabape appears completely locked in. France entered the tournament
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: as one of the favorites. After one week there the
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: team everyone else is chasing. What do you think? Do
• 5:57
