Brazil fans gather at fan walk ahead of Brazil v. Japan Round of 32 World Cup match today

Canada's men's soccer team is coming to Houston on America's 250th birthday to play in the final match that Houston Stadium will host for this year's World Cup.

According to the FIFA World Cup 26 Houston account on X, the Reds will play their Round of 16 against the winner of the Netherlands vs. Morocco Round of 32 match.

The match on July 4 will be the last that Houston Stadium will host, with the end of the World Cup being on July 19 at New York New Jersey Stadium (MetLife Stadium).

Giovani Lo Celso became the first Argentine player other than Lionel Messi to score in this World Cup as the defending champions finished the group stage with a three-game sweep after a 3-1 victory over Jordan on Saturday night.

Lo Celso, in his first World Cup start, put Argentina ahead to stay when he scored on a direct free kick in the 19th minute. Messi added one of his own after entering the game in the second half, and the top scorer in World Cup history extended his mark to 19 goals.

"I am very happy for him, for the moment he is having," Lo Celso said in translated remarks about their captain.

Messi, the leader in this tournament with six goals, was among nine Argentina starters changed from the previous game since Group J was already clinched before the match. He entered in the 60th minute, three days after his 39th birthday, and in the same stadium where he broke the scoring mark on Monday, and scored in the 80th minute.

He scored all five of Argentina's goals in wins over Algeria and Austria, including his first World Cup hat trick, and then two goals in his record-setting game Monday. He has scored in seven consecutive World Cup games, breaking a tie with France's Just Fontaine and Brazil great Jairzinho for the longest all-time streak.

Lautaro Martinez put Argentina up 2-0 when he scored on a penalty kick in the 31st minute, in the same sequence when his close-range shot ricocheted off the crossbar.

Martinez, who was subbed out for Messi, and goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez were the only players to start all three of Argentina's group matches.

"I was able to include all the footballers for them to play. This was a goal that we have always set for ourselves," coach Lionel Scaloni said through an interpreter. "I think they played quite well in a difficult match. They showed today that we can count on them."

Argentina, which has seven wins and two draws in its last nine World Cup games, plays in the round of 32 on Friday against Cape Verde, the smallest country to earn a spot in the knockout round. That game is in Miami, the home of Messi's Major League Soccer team.

This is the fifth time Argentina has won all of its matches in group stage, and first since back-to-back tournaments in 2010 and 2014. Argentina has 14 wins, two losses and three draws in its last 19 group games.

As the final Group Stage matches for the World Cup continue, organizers said FIFA Fan Fest has temporarily paused entry due to capacity on Saturday afternoon.

Orangizers said that entry will resume once space becomes available. In the meantime, organizers encouraged people to visit other dining and entertainment locations in East Downtown in order to watch the matches.

This announcement comes as the final Group Stage matches are well underway, with Panama facing England and Croatia up against Ghana.

For a few joyous moments, Iran was convinced it had advanced to the knockout round at the World Cup for the first time in the expanded 48-team pool at this year's tournament.

The potential late winning goal was called back due to an offside, though, and Egypt advanced past the group stage.

Iran, meanwhile, will have to wait one day to find out its fate after the two teams played to a 1-1 draw. Egypt will play Australia in the round of 32.

Iran coach Amir Ghalenoei lamented what was the third goal by his side waved off by video review in the tournament.

"Technology is justice," Ghalenoei said in Farsi, "But I'm upset about our bad luck."

At the conclusion of what was promoted as a "Pride Match" in Seattle, one which neither Iran nor Egypt wanted any part in, the Pharaohs finished in second place in Group G. Belgium, which played to a 1-1 draw against Egypt on June 15, beat New Zealand 5-1 in Vancouver, British Columbia to win the group outright.

Egypt coach Hossam Hassan was grateful his team didn't slide to third in the group, which would have been the case had Khalilzadeh's goal held up.

"We knew we had qualified already; we were sitting at the top of the group," Hossan said. "I thank God for everything. After this goal was ruled offside, I was very happy."

Iran, meanwhile, could still advance to the knockout round for the first time in the expanded 48-team pool at this year's tournament. But they no longer control their own destiny after Friday's game.

"We're here to make our history, too," said midfielder Rouzbeh Cheshmi. "(Saturday), if our dream comes true, thank God. If not, we are proud of our game and our players because of how we did the game. The last three games, we held up, so let's see what happens."
