🚨The Opta 2026 FIFA World Cup Team of the Tournament is here. The XI features four players from Spain's World Cup-winning side, and we have shuffled Kylian Mbappé out to the left wing to accommodate the excess of attacking talent present at the tournament.

37 - Kevin De Bruyne begins Belgium's FIFA World Cup round of 16 match on the bench. He had started in each of his previous 37 appearances for Belgium, last coming off the bench in a 2021 UEFA Nations League match vs. Italy. Surprise.

0 - Since the introduction of yellow and red cards at the 1970 edition, no player has ever received a red card and gone on to play in his team's next match at the FIFA World Cup. Unprecedented.

8 - The #USMNT's last eight FIFA World Cup goals (excluding own goals) have been scored by players under 25 years old, equaling the longest such streak in competition history (Poland - 8 straight between 1938 and 1974). Exuberance.

175 - 🇺🇸 Chris Richards has completed 97.8% of his passes at the FIFA World Cup (175/179). That is the second best accuracy by a player in their first two appearances on record since 1966 (min. 100 passes), behind 🇷🇴 Gheorghe Popescu in 1994 (122/124 - 98.4%). Accomplished.

23 – USA's Tim Ream made more line-breaking passes than any other centre back on MD1 of the FIFA World Cup (23). Ream was the oldest defender to make an appearance in the opening round (38y 251d), and fourth oldest outfielder to feature overall. Savvy.

15 - Haití superó en remates (15 a 9) y posesión (54% a 46%) a Escocia. Es la primera vez que el combinado haitiano acumula más disparos y promedia más tenencia que su rival en un partido de la Copa Mundial de la FIFA. Diferente.

29a 41d - Con una edad media de 29 años y 41 días, Haití ha alineado un once inicial casi tres años más mayor que cualquiera de los que colocó en su única participación anterior en la Copa del Mundo en 1974 (el mayor fue de 26 años y 109 días). Cambio.
