Gueye stops at Senegal, Mexico mourns after victory and Brazil misses Paquetá

Pape Gueye has announced his departure from the Senegalese national team, a direct confrontation with national coach Pape Thiaw that puts the coaching staff under immense pressure. The midfielder refuses to continue playing for his country as long as the current staff is on the bench, a statement that exposes the internal unrest within the African team. Meanwhile, Mexico celebrated qualifying for the round of 16 after beating Ecuador, but the festive mood turned to deep mourning when four supporters were killed after the match.
