On the tenth day of the 2026 FIFA World Cup, the tournament's middle passage arrives — that clarifying moment when ambition meets arithmetic and the field begins to separate those who will endure from those who will depart.

History, too, makes its presence felt: Japan and Tunisia will contest the 1,000th match ever played
