South Africa fans, spoken to by ESPN over the course of the South African Premiership season, have unanimously backed Hugo Broos as the right man to lead the team at the FIFA World Cup, putting aside club biases.

Argentina captain Lionel Messi returned to the field for the first time in 16 days after suffering from muscle overload in his left hamstring, coming off the bench to score in a friendly against Iceland on Tuesday night.

A United States official said Tuesday night that Omar Artan, the Somalian referee who was denied entry into the country ahead of the World Cup, was refused admission due to "association with suspected members of terror organizations."
