Thank you for joining us as we recapped a momentous day for Scotland and Scotland supporters.

Scroll down this page or use the links in the summary to relive the key moments from Scotland's 1-0 win against Haiti, courtesy of John McGinn's first-half goal.

It was a first win for Scotland at a World Cup since 1990.

Steve Clarke's side will be hoping to follow it up with positive results against Morocco and Brazil to progress to the knockout stages for the first time in the country's history.

Elsewhere, Scotland's Group C rivals played out an entertaining 1-1 draw in New York, Qatar claimed a first point against Switzerland and Australia earned a notable 2-0 win against Turkey.

At present, Scotland are the only European nation to have won a game at the 2026 World Cup.

Can heavyweights Germany follow their lead by beating minnows Curacao this evening (18:00 BST), before Netherlands v Japan (21:00), Ivory Coast v Ecuador (Mon, 00:00) and Sweden v Tunisia (Mon, 03:00).

Japan head coach Hajime Moriyasu has stated that their goal is to win the World Cup.

The country has never been past the last 16 before but Japanese football expert Sean Carroll told BBC Radio 5 Live that there is method behind Moriyasu's mind games.

"At the last World Cup they were saying that they wanted to get to the quarter-finals and I think that he felt that made it a bit too much of a wall for them," he said.

"Now that he has said 'no, forget that, we want to go on and win it' I think that it has taken away those boundaries for them."

Japan beat Germany and Spain in the last World Cup before losing to Croatia on penalties in the round of 16 and warmed up for this tournament with friendly wins away to Scotland and England in March.

Carroll added: "The Japanese players now, most of them are playing in Europe. They are used to the level and are not afraid."

After kicking off their 2026 World Cup campaign against the Netherlands in Arlington tonight (21:00 BST), Japan have games against Tunisia (21 June) and Sweden (26 June) in Group F.

Sweden captain Victor Lindelof has questioned whether any country at the World Cup could field a better strike pairing than Arsenal's Victor Gyokeres and Liverpool's Alexander Isak.

Both players moved clubs in big-money transfers last summer and struggled to settle in the Premier League, but Gyokeres ended with 14 top-flight goals for the Gunners, while Isak managed three goals in 14 appearances for the Reds after overcoming injury problems.

Their international form has never been in question - Gyokeres, 28, has scored 20 goals in 33 appearances for Sweden, firing the winner in their play-off against Poland to secure World Cup qualification, while 26-year-old Isak has found the net 17 times in his 58 caps.

"I wouldn't replace them with anyone," said Aston Villa defender Lindelof.

"I'm really happy to have the two of them. I'm trying to go through in my mind what other countries, you know, there are (that have a similar partnership), but I think they are two top-class forwards, so it's amazing to have them on our team."

Curacao

Curacao's Dean Gorre spoke to BBC Radio 5 Live about his Dutch upbringing and what it means to be playing Germany:

"I thought yes, what an occasion. If you think of a World Cup you think of Brazil, Argentina, Germany. All the big countries that have won it and have the history. Now we are making history by playing an historical game in a World Cup against Germany. In a hundred years' time when people look at the papers they will say 'hey, Curacao in 2026, they played Germany in a World Cup."

And he added: "We hate the Germans. It's true that we were raised up in Holland by hating the Germans, that's how we raised up. But during the years it all faded away. I know in the beginning it wasn't good at all. We have definitely 17 million supporters in the game against Germany, which is great."

Welcome to our brand new Who am I? game.

The rules are simple. Each day there's a new footballer and the challenge is to guess who they are in as few attempts as possible.

After each wrong guess you unlock a new clue. But, if you get your answer in as few guesses as possible, you get more points.

Three is a good score, four or five points is exceptional.

So, take part in quiz number one and return for more tomorrow.

Today's player and clues are set by BBC Sport's Flora Snelson.

When Paul the Octopus predicted all of Germany's results correctly at the 2010 World Cup, he was hailed by the world as an oracle.

But German economist Joachim Klement has trumped Paul with a complex forecast model which has kept a 100% record of predicting the World Cup winner since 2014.

The Netherlands would become the fourth of four predicted winners to fulfil Klement's statistical prophecy if they lift the trophy in July.

"This started as an exercise in showing the world a hubris of economists who think they can forecast stuff that they actually have no clue about," Klement said.

"And now it's become an exercise in how, if you're lucky often enough, people will think you're a guru."

After his first prediction came true when his native Germany won the 2014 World Cup, Klement imagined running the numbers again in 2018 would expose it as a fluke.

But he predicted correctly with France in 2018 - then again with Argentina in 2022.

"50% is luck," he adds.

"Every match - especially when you have these high-quality teams playing against each other that are very similar in skills and quality - it really depends on the form of the day, a ref call, a piece of luck in the sense of hitting the post versus the ball going in.

"Things like that are completely unpredictable."

Both of these teams had a strong defensive record in qualifying - Ecuador only shipped five in 18 games in the South American section, and Ivory Coast did not concede any in 10 matches in their African group.

The obvious prediction, then, is a goalless draw.

You may have heard the term "watch party" creeping into the footballing vernacular during the opening days of this World Cup.

If you can't afford to go to a match, then where would you rather be than celebrating with an entire nation, on the Caribbean island of Curacao?

Boudino de Jong called their qualification "one of the biggest deals ever for the island" - adding they expect it to bring more tourism and investment.

"I've seen the impact of the final match where we qualified for the World Cup," he said.

"The traffic just stopped. All cars basically parked on the street and everybody got out of their car. And I've never seen such a massive united celebration on a national scale.

"And I think that was just the start of what we're going to see in the coming matches. I know of a lot of people are coming to the island because they want to experience the games together with all the Curacaoans here on the island."

The BBC Sport website and app has launched a new predictor game to cover this year's World Cup, allowing users to pick what they think will be the result from every match.

The aim of the new game, which is available to UK users only, is to stretch your winning streak of predictions for each World Cup fixture, so make sure to check in each day to make your choices.

Players have the chance to enter a prize draw to win an official World Cup football signed by members of the BBC World Cup team.

In yesterday's news conference Germany boss Julian Nagelsmann was at pains to avoid discussing whether his side could be considered one of the favourites.

When asked what would constitute success, he said: "It's easier to talk about that after a tournament.

"Afterwards we can discuss if it was successful or not. But let's play the games."

Opposite number Dick Advocaat will be the oldest manager ever at a World Cup, aged 78.

Nagelsmann, 38, is the youngest boss at this tournament.

When asked if he would still like to be managing in 40 years he said: "No. Not really. I love my job but I have some different things to do at this age.

"Dick is a really cool coach who has done a brilliant job. I can always learn from people like him. Before the game I will say hello. We will fight during the game and afterwards we can be friends."

Graham Potter has worked his magic with Sweden since taking charge of them in October and getting them through the play-offs, but I am not expecting them to make it out of their group.

Like Ivory Coast, Tunisia did not concede a goal in their qualifying campaign but they are another team at this World Cup who like to keep things tight at the back but lack a bit of firepower - and that makes me think this will end in a draw.

Sweden are set for their opening World Cup match against Tunisia in Monterrey (Monday, 03:00 BST) but it has been a long and winding road to get here for the team and coach Graham Potter.

Sweden finished bottom of their qualifying group and needed a Nations League play-off lifeline to make it to the finals.

Potter, meanwhile, was only drafted in to replace Jon Dahl Tomasson as Sweden boss in October, just a month after being sacked by West Ham.

The 51-year-old Englishman started out from humble beginnings as a manager, earning his break with Swedish minnows Ostersund before roles at Swansea, Brighton, Chelsea and West Ham, yet now finds himself on the cusp of his first World Cup game.

"If somebody had said to me when I started out coaching a bunch of students at Leeds Met University that I would end up via the fourth division in Swedish football here at the World Cup, of course I would have taken that journey. It's incredible," he told reporters in Saturday's pre-match news conference.

"So now I'm just at a point where I'm super-grateful, super-grateful for the career I've had, for the life I've had, and to be here now."

We got our first sight at some top-10 ranked nations last night when sixth-placed Brazil and seventh-placed Morocco played out a 1-1 draw.

Top-ranked nation and defending champions Argentina don't feature until Wednesday at 02:00 BST when they take on Algeria, while second-placed Spain feature on Monday at 17:00 against Cape Verde.

There are two other top-10 teams in action tonight, though - the Netherlands sit eighth and Germany are 10th.

Here's how the rankings look in full:

1. Argentina
2. Spain
3. France
4. England
5. Portugal
6. Brazil
7. Morocco
8. Netherlands
9. Belgium
10. Germany

After dry conditions for all of Saturday's matches, fans and players have more challenging conditions today.

Heat and humidity will be a big feature at all four of the host cites - Monterrey, Houston, Dallas and Philadelphia.

Afternoon temperatures for all will exceed 30C (86F) with higher 'feels like' temperatures due to the humidity, and it will remain hot and sweaty into the evening.

The biggest impact, however, comes from the risk of thunderstorms. All four cities could see them today, but the risk is greatest in Philadelphia, where the stadium is also uncovered.

The National Weather Service say there is an 80% chance of heavy rain and storms by the evening, with gusty winds also a potential hazard.

So, will the thunderstorm protocol be activated for the Ivory Coast v Ecuador match?

I became a bit of a celebrity in Japan when I correctly backed them to beat Germany at the last World Cup, or at least I appeared on TV over there to talk about it anyway.

They have got some excellent technical players and will be dangerous, whoever they play - and I am going to back them again to beat the Dutch.

The Netherlands look strong defensively but I am less convinced by them up front.
