Spain defeats defending champion Argentina to win 2026 FIFA World Cup

On the final day of Round of 32 matches for the World Cup, FIFA said that Fan Festival Houston has reached capacity and is temporarily pausing entry on Friday afternoon.

The announcement comes as the match between Argentina and Cabo Verde is underway, with the match between Colombia and Ghana scheduled for 8:30 p.m.

Organizers said entry will resume as space becomes available. They added that people can visit local businesses throughout East Downtown nearby for dining and entertainment locations.

The World Cup match between Mexico and England is likely to have its Sunday kick-off time changed due to the risk of weather disruption, including flooding, sources told ESPN.

Kick-off is set to be at 12 p.m. local time at the Azteca Stadium, which is 7 p.m. in the UK and 2 p.m ET.

FIFA took lessons from last year's Club World Cup, which was blighted by six major weather delays in 63 matches. The governing body is now in ongoing discussions to move the Mexico vs. England kick-off time amid the threat of bad weather, sources told ESPN.

While America is celebrating its 250th birthday on July 4, Houston is also hosting its last FIFA World Cup match (Morocco vs. Canada - Round of 16).

TxDOT is holding off on major interstate construction closures due to both the holiday and the influx of international soccer fans.

Here's the timeline:

• Houston stadium opens three hours before the Canada vs. Morocco Round of 16 match, which starts at noon.

• Drivers will see increased traffic on the West and South Loops, on major corridors such as Kirby Drive (parts of Kirby will close), and extra traffic along Main, Fannin, and even, likely, south of the Loop along Bellfort.

• Look for additional riders on the south part of the METRO Rail line, Red Line.

• Once the match is over, drivers will likely see extra traffic in the area late in the afternoon, depending on how long the game lasts.

As if July Fourth celebrations weren't enough, Houston will also be hosting its last World Cup match! These are the major traffic impacts.

At 41, Cristiano Ronaldo will get another match in a Portugal uniform, thanks to a penalty he scored, a stoppage time header by Goncalo Ramos, and a VAR ruling the Croatia team still doesn't understand.

Ramos headed in the winner as Portugal beat Croatia 2-1 in a wild finish that also included a Croatian goal disallowed for offside just before the final whistle in a World Cup round of 32 match on Thursday night.

The game featured a matchup of 40-somethings - Ronaldo, in his sixth World Cup, and Croatia's Luka Modri, making his fifth bid for a tournament title.

Ronaldo tied things up in the 68th minute on a penalty kick that gave the megastar his first knockout stage goal at the World Cup before being subbed out in the 81st minute.

"I never felt any of that (fear)," he said. "Yes, nervous. But as always, you have to be very positive for things to go well."

Still, it was Ramos who gave Portugal the victory and a berth in the round of 16.

"I love that type of moment, I love that type of games," he said. "I want to play every game like that."

Portugal moves on to face Spain on Monday.
