World Cup 2026 action continued with four matches on Sunday, June 21, and Spain beat Saudi Arabia 4-0 in the early match, while Belgium and Uruguay also were looking for victories on Father’s Day after draws in their group-stage openers. In fact, all eight teams in Sunday’s matches came into the second round of group play with one point. Spain’s victory puts them in a good spot, and a victory for any of the teams in the later matches would set them up nicely heading into next week’s 2026 World Cup finales.

Spain-Saudi Arabia Under 2.5 goals
The line is actually 3.5 goals for this game, but I think there’s value in taking some additional risks and giving up a goal on the total. Spain looked completely lost against Cape Verde and even desperately played a less-than-healthy Lamine Yamal in an attempt to get one goal. Saudi Arabia withstood a 27-shot onslaught from Uruguay and only conceded in the 80th minute. I don’t believe Spain will come up empty again, but there are some serious problems for La Furia Roja in the attacking third, and Saudi Arabia are no pushovers defensively.
Belgium money line vs. Iran
Belgium have only themselves to blame for the draw against Egypt. They gave up a quick goal on a defensive lapse, and had to chase the game from that point on. They only put three of their 15 shots on target, and I don’t envision that happening again. There’s more pressure to get a win, but Romelu Lukaku, Kevin De Bruyne and Leandro Trossard have shown they can rise to the occasion. Take Belgium to get back to their winning ways on Sunday.
Uruguay -1.5 vs. Cabo Verde
It’s important to adjust our perceptions of teams based on results. However, this seems like a perfect situation where the soccer world gets a bit of normalcy. Uruguay are highly unlikely to come up with just one goal if they put up 25+ shots again, and Cape Verde parking the bus is unsustainable. I don’t think there’s much of a threat for Cape Verde on the counterattack, so this is really just going to be about how many goals Uruguay can score. I think La Celeste put on a convincing performance here.
