1 – Austria 🇦🇹 conceded their earliest goal in a game since October 1965 when Jürgen Nöldner also scored in the opening minute for the GDR in World Cup qualification, with that match also coming in Leipzig. Shocked. #AUTTUR#EURO2024
30' | Turkey's without the ball game has been top class
Turkey have been great with and without the ball. They have been able to outnumber Austria whenever they lose the ball and have not allowed them to have space to play their natural game.

7 big footballing nations which can miss the FIFA World Cup 2026
Even though the number of countries participating in the World Cup would increase, there is a chance that a few well-known footballing nations might miss the flight to the FIFA World Cup 2026.
The FIFA World Cup 2026, which is set to be the biggest with a record 48 teams, is just one year away. After the huge success of FIFA World Cup 2022, where the world saw an outstanding final between winners Argentina and runners-up France, the next edition is gearing up to break more records.
But, even though the number of countries participating in the World Cup would increase, there is a chance that a few well-known footballing nations might miss the flight to the FIFA World Cup 2026, in the USA, Canada and Mexico.
Today, we will talk about those countries which can miss the FIFA World Cup 2026.
7. Austria
Austria under Ralf Rangnick surprised everyone with their high pressing game, beating teams like the Netherlands and Poland in Euro 2024. However, their high-pressing game might not give them great results in the USA. Moreover, their Bundesliga talents are also above their peak age.
Austria have not started their FIFA World Cup Qualifiers campaign at the moment, and Bosnia-Herzegovina have already taken a 6-point lead in the Group H points table. So, it might be tough for them if they make any silly mistakes during the qualifiers.

6. Croatia
Although Luka Modric and company surprised everyone with a runners-up finish at the 2018 FIFA World Cup and a third-place finish in 2022, the former Real Madrid great would be 40 during the World Cup. So, we can not expect Modric to take his team over the line alone.
Although they have a defender like Josko Gvardiol, the entire squad is getting aged, and they are already six points behind teams like the Czech Republic and Montenegro, even before starting their FIFA World Cup Qualifiers campaign.
So, they also have very little room for any mistakes.

5. Chile
Chile were once considered one of the toughest South American teams with Copa America victories in 2015 and 2016. But those times are gone now for them.
They still depend on veteran stars like Arturo Vidal and Alexis Sanchez, who are at the fag end of their careers. With just two wins in 14 South American qualifiers and a paltry nine goals scored, Chile are currently bottom of the points table.
With Chile being five points adrift of a play-off spot, they might not make it to the FIFA World Cup 2026.

The 2022 FIFA World Cup hosts created history by losing all three group games, becoming the first host nation to do so. However, after back-to-back Asian Cup victories, they were well on track to qualify for the 2026 World Cup on merit.
But, after winning only three of the eight third-round Asian qualifiers matches, they are now behind Iran and Uzbekistan in the group.
Although there is a fourth round of safety for them, it is not guaranteed that they will qualify from there.

3. Senegal
Senegal, the African football giants, struggled a bit after the departure of coach Aliou Cisse. They had shown great determination during the FIFA World Cup 2022, but after Cisse's departure, they seem to be fading.
Their senior stars, Sadio Mane and Kalidou Koulibaly, now play in the Saudi Pro League and are not at their prime as well. It will be up to their youngsters, like Pape Sarr and Nicolas Jackson, to take them home.
But they are now behind DR Congo by a point in qualifying. So, any mistake from them could sweep away the dreams of the FIFA World Cup 2026.

They are currently one point behind Cape Verde in the Group D points table of CAF qualifiers.

The Spanish and Champions League champions have found themselves a bit hot and cold this season. They have lost 4 of their last 8 games across all competitions. However, their 3-0 victory against Girona will give their fans confidence. Jude Bellingham and Kylian Mbappe returned to form by scoring against Girona.
After not scoring in the first 10 games of the season, Bellingham scored in the last five games. Meantime, Mbappe also has scored thrice in the last four games, taking his tally to 9 goals in 15 games.
However, they have found it tough in the Champions League and are currently at number 24 position on the points table with only 6 points in 5 games. They have lost thrice and won twice in the league phase so far. But, they are Real Madrid. Carlo Ancelotti's men are always one moment away from making a comeback.

They are leading the Serie A table with 34 points in 15 games. In addition to their Serie A form, they have emerged as one of the dark horses of the Champions League and are one of the three teams still remaining unbeaten in the league phase, alongside Liverpool and Inter Milan.
They are at number five on the points table with 11 points in 5 matches.

What New Sports Rules Have Been Introduced in Major Sports This Year?
From the new penalty rule to Rugby's new kick-off rule, here are some of the most notable changes in sports rules introduced across football, baseball, soccer, cricket, rugby, and more this year.
Sports governing bodies are constantly tweaking the rules of play to enhance competition, player safety, and fan experience. Several major leagues rolled out impactful new regulations for the 2024 season. Let's explore some of the most notable changes in sports rules introduced across football, baseball, soccer, cricket, rugby, and more this year.
New Kickoff Format in the NFL
The NFL overhauled its kickoff rules for 2024 in an effort to improve safety and boost excitement. Kickoffs now feature a "landing zone" between the receiving team's goal line and 20-yard line. Aside from the kicker, the kicking team lines up 5 yards apart at the receiving team's 40-yard line. They can't move until the ball is caught or hits the ground.
This setup encourages more returns while reducing high-speed collisions that commonly cause concussions. Additional changes allow creative onside kick attempts in the 4th quarter. So far, the revamped kickoffs have been well-received. Returns are up, injuries are down, and fans are enjoying the intriguing strategic implications.
Fewer 100-Minute Matches at Euro 2024
Football matches stretching well over 100 minutes due to excessive injury time were commonplace at the 2022 World Cup. But Europe's governing body UEFA took a different approach for its 2024 European Championship tournament. Rather than meticulously adding on every second lost to celebrations and subs, referees focused on restarting play quickly.
As a result, Euro 2024 matches adhered much closer to 90 minutes on average. Only captains could speak to referees, reducing dissent. VAR explanations were also displayed on stadium screens to improve transparency. While some fans missed the added drama, others appreciated UEFA reining in meandering matches.
MLB introduced several subtle but impactful rule tweaks for 2024 designed to improve pace-of-play. The pitch timer was reduced from 20 to 18 seconds with runners on base, attempting to claw back some of the time increase observed over the course of last season.
Mound visits were reduced from 5 to 4 per team. Pitching changes now shave 15 seconds off the between-innings timer. Circumvention tactics like delaying the pitcher's arrival to the mound and meeting the umpire before he places the ball in play are now prohibited.
While games still averaged nearly 3 hours, these changes represent MLB's continued efforts to combat dead time. Fans have responded positively to the increased flow and action.
MLB also issued new guidance aimed at reducing unsafe blocking of bases. Players will be called for obstruction if they position themselves to impede a runner's path before receiving the ball. This protects baserunners while encouraging aggressive base-running.
New Penalty Law in English Football
One of the most discussed rule changes in English football this season regards penalties. IFAB clarified that referees should not automatically show a yellow card to players who commit handball and concede a penalty. This gives referees more flexibility when interpreting intent on handballs.
The aim is to only caution players for deliberate, tactical fouls. Inadvertent handballs leading to penalties should not draw a booking. This nuanced approach has received praise for balancing fairness and common sense application of the rules. Those who take advantage of a free bet offer from Kwiff and bet on bookings will need to bear this new rule in mind.
In the 2024 County Championship cricket tournament, a drawn match will now be rewarded with 8 points for each county. This is increased from 5 points for a draw last season. The aim is to better incentivise teams to bat long while still pushing for victory.
With batting bonus points unchanged, the tweaked draw points system should encourage high-quality pitches and competitive multi-day cricket.
New Offside Law in Rugby
World Rugby introduced a law change regarding offside in front of a kicker for 2024. Previously, a player could be deemed onside if the opposing catcher ran 5 meters or passed the ball after fielding a kick. The new law removes these allowances, requiring offside players to actively work to get onside rather than remaining stationary. This should reduce "kick tennis" stalemates and improve flow.
The key sports leagues are thinking creatively about how to improve their product. It will be fascinating to see what new regulations are tested out across various sports in the years to come. For now, the early returns on this year's crop of rule changes are largely positive. The altered kick-off format, pitch timer adjustments, and base-blocking guidance all seem to be enhancing their respective sports.
