Received a red card for covering your mouth.
The highlight of Paraguay's 1-0 victory over Turkey was the red card shown to midfielder Almiron. In the 45th minute, Almiron covered his mouth with his hand during an argument with an opponent. This is prohibited at the 2026 World Cup to curb offensive and racist behavior. After reviewing the slow-motion video, the referee issued a red card, sending the Paraguayan player off.
Adjust the jersey
Having received a long-sleeved jersey from his sponsor, Luis Romo (Mexico) cut off the sleeves himself to turn it into a short-sleeved version. Because the sleeves were cut off, the "debut badge," which is usually attached to the sleeve, no longer had a suitable place, so he glued the embroidered logo onto his right shoe.
Problems arising from unpaid bonuses.
According to SNews Africa, the Senegal national team is facing a potential crisis as bonuses for the players have not yet been paid. The delayed payments have caused dissatisfaction among many players, especially considering they are representing their country in the biggest tournament on the planet.
