The headlines
Groups E and F took centre stage on Sunday, with Germany putting seven past Curacao on their World Cup debut to start the proceedings.
The smallest nation to ever qualify for the tournament did steal the early headlines, shocking the world after levelling through Livano Comenencia. Despite the heavy loss, they did as well as Brazil during that infamous semi-final loss in 2014. If you squint hard enough, there's a positive there somewhere.
Away from the jokes, Curacao tried to go toe-to-toe against Germany, and their manager Dick Advocaat told his players not to be ashamed - they will have plenty more fans than before the game after their performance.
In Philadelphia, a sea of yellow greeted the Ecuador team as they stepped out onto the pitch, but they would be stunned into silence late on as Ivory Coast pinched a 1-0 win after a back-and-forth encounter, settled by a 90th-minute strike from Manchester United's Amad Diallo.
In Group F, the Netherlands and Japan slugged it out in Dallas, giving us the best half of football we have seen as they shared the spoils in a 2-2 draw.
The Blue Samurai fought back twice to earn a point, their second coming just one minute from the end of regulation time.
And in Monterrey to finish the day, Sweden's dynamic duo - Gyokeres and Isak - led their side to a 5-1 thrashing of Tunisia to see them move to the top of the group.
Both scored whilst assisting each other as Graham Potter's gamble to play both of them - similar in style - together for just the second time paid off.
Tunisia struggled after going 3-1 down midway through the second half, before Mattias Svanberg came off the bench to score with his first-ever World Cup touch.
Goal of the day
It was not only a sensational strike from Sweden's Yasin Ayari to open the scoring against Tunisia, but it was an emotional one too.
The midfielder rifled it home from outside the box, and normally, that sort of hit would warrant a large celebration, but Ayari was mute.
The reason? His lineage is half Tunisian, and he was conflicted, raising his hands in apology to respect his ancestry.
His Swedish teammates still could not hide their glee, and eventually Ayari was able to muster a late fist pump. He also rounded off the scoring from distance in stoppage time to make it 5-1; this time, it warranted a knee slide.
The fluid nature of nationality has been on full show throughout this tournament, a strong reminder of how interconnected the world is.
Player of the day
A consistent performer at club level, Nico Schlotterbeck brought his great form to the German national side, helping his side to a rout against Curacao.
The Borussia Dortmund defender scored a lovely header from a corner to make it 2-1.
His defensive play was also up to scratch. He won all of his aerial duels, whilst having a game-high 104 touches and an 86% pass accuracy. All of this saw him pick up a 9.3 rating using Flashscore's new-and-improved rating system.
Best from social media
Travelling fans experiencing culture overseas is always a wonderful by-product of the World Cup, and high off of their 1-0 win over Haiti on Saturday, Scotland's travelling 'Tartan Army' were in full force at Fenway Park as the Boston Red Sox took on the Texas Rangers in an MLB clash.
They went through their repertoire of chants, rather alien to America's pastime, whilst a young Scottish fan took home a souvenir to remember.
The 2026 World Cup will be held from June 11th to July 19th in the United States, Canada and Mexico. The tournament will feature 48 national teams and will be played in 16 modern stadiums.
