Spain’s most iconic players at the World Cup

Spain have lifted the World Cup just once, in 2010, but that single triumph sits at the end of a long line of memorable tournament performers. From the goalscorers of the 1980s to the side that finally conquered the world in South Africa, La Roja have given the competition plenty to remember. They arrive at the 2026 finals as one of the favourites, ranked second in the world by FIFA, and their attackers feature prominently in the Spain top goal…

Could Group L Be the Group of Death at the 2026 World Cup?

By 11v11 Site Editor , 23rd June 2026 at 3:26 PM (11v11 blog)

The expansion to 48 teams changed the way fans look at World Cup groups. With more places available in the knockout stage, it has become harder for a true "group of death" to emerge. Even so, Group L has attracted attention since the draw. England entered the tournament as one of the strongest European sides; Croatia arrived with a long record of success on the biggest stage; Ghana brought a squad full of players from top leagues; and Panama continued…

How Draw No Bet Works in Football and When the Market Makes Sense

By 11v11 Site Editor , 22nd June 2026 at 1:50 PM (11v11 blog)

Draw No Bet, usually shortened to DNB, is a football betting market that removes the draw from the equation. You back one team to win, and if the match ends level, your stake is refunded in full. It sits between a straight win bet and the safety of covering more outcomes. That is why it appeals to bettors who like a team but worry about a stalemate. The trade-off is in the price. Because the draw risk is taken off…

The World Cup Rewrites Record Books and 2026 is Showing to Be No Different

By 11v11 Site Editor , 22nd June 2026 at 1:39 PM (11v11 blog)

In the 1930 World Cup in Uruguay, there were thirteen nations, eighteen matches, no qualification process, no group stage and a host nation lifting the trophy in front of a crowd that included supporters who had crossed the Atlantic by ship to be there. The World Cup began as an experiment in international football and spent the next nine decades becoming the biggest single sporting event the world produced. Every edition has changed something. The format, the number of nations,…

By 11v11 Site Editor , 22nd June 2026 at 1:06 PM (11v11 blog)

When England line up against Ghana in their World Cup Group L fixture on 23 June 2026, the match will land as more than a single result on a busy summer evening. It will arrive as the latest entry in a record book that stretches back to a damp afternoon in November 1872, when England met Scotland in the world's first international football match. Every Three Lions fixture since then has been logged, cross-referenced and pored over by the kind…

By 11v11 Site Editor , 16th June 2026 at 3:21 PM (11v11 blog)

The World Cup is finally here, but if you were on the streets of Old Blighty, you wouldn't know it. The flags aren't up, the pubs aren't decked out, and truth be told, no one is really speaking about England's chances in North America this summer. And if the online betting sites are to be believed, those chances are actually pretty high. The latest odds from 5Gringos online sportsbook make Thomas Tuchel's Three Lions a 7/1 third-favourite to win the…

World Cup 2026: Co-hosts Canada with the best ever chance to progress

By 11v11 Site Editor , 10th June 2026 at 2:52 PM (11v11 blog)

The 2026 FIFA Men’s World Cup is finally underway, marking a huge moment for soccer in Canada. Unlike co-hosts Mexico and the United States, the nation has never hosted the world’s premier tournament before. One of the perks of being a co-host is that Canada was granted automatic entry to the tournament, ensuring that the Canucks made back-to-back World Cups for the first time. It also means Canada has home advantage throughout the Group Stage, with every game held in…

What Does a De Zerbi Team Look Like for Tottenham Post-2025/26?

By 11v11 Site Editor , 10th June 2026 at 2:45 PM (11v11 blog)

For a couple of years, Roberto De Zerbi was possibly one of the most sought-after managers in the Premier League. Getting the most out of a Brighton side whose top players were routinely poached by big clubs like Chelsea was seen as exceptional work for a coach who had previously peaked by winning a Ukrainian Super Cup with Shakhtar Donetsk. He led the Seagulls to qualification for the 2023/24 Europa League, which was a feat that had previously seemed impossible.…
