Saudi Arabia 0-2 Poland (Group C)

No Tottenham Hotspur players were involved with this match.

France 2-1 Denmark (Group D)

Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg: Started and played the full 90 for Denmark. A very “Tottenhamish” performance — a lot of industry, at times quite impactful, ran around a bunch. One missed shot, two midfield tackles.

Hugo Lloris: Started and captained France from in goal. Helpless to prevent Denmark’s equalizing goal but had an excellent stop a couple of minutes later.

Former Hotspurs: Christian Eriksen started for Denmark and played decently well, though France was able to stifle his creativity in and around the box.

Argentina 2-0 Mexico (Group C)

Cuti Romero: A second half defensive substitute for Argentina. Notable that the Argentine defense seemed to improve after he came on.

Former Hotspurs: Juan Foyth was an unused substitute for Argentina.
