The front pages: Spain chase the last 16, USA make history

The front pages focus on Spain’s push for the last 16 and the USA making history, with both storylines dominating the 2026 World Cup coverage. Spain face their first major must-win knockout test against Austria in Los Angeles, aiming to secure a round-of-16 berth with no margin for error. The Spanish press spotlights Lamine Yamal as the potential key to ending La Roja’s knockout curse, while Dani Olmo is expected to start under Luis de la Fuente. In Barcelona, Joan Laporta begins his fourth term as FC Barcelona president, sending firm messages and cooling transfer talk around Julián Álvarez. Earlier, England advanced after Harry Kane’s 2-1 comeback win over DR Congo, and the United States beat Bosnia 2-0 to reach the round of 16 for the first time since 2002, despite Folarin Balogun’s red card.
