While Robin Koch and hosts Germany gear up for UEFA EURO 2024 along with the rest of Europe, in the Americas they’re looking forward to the Copa América. Eintracht defender Willian Pacho is currently preparing for this summer’s tournament in the United States with Ecuador. La Tri played world champions Argentina in Chicago in the first of three warm-up friendlies. Pacho played the full 90 minutes as his side went down to a 1-0 defeat against Lionel Messi and Co.
Ecuador’s remaining friendlies are against Bolivia and Honduras, before they do battle with Venezuela, Jamaica and Mexico in Group B of the 2024 Copa América.
Tunisia dropped points for the first time in qualifying for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, but the Eagles of Carthage remain unbeaten at the top of Group H following the 0-0 draw against Namibia. Frankfurt midfielder Ellyes Skhiri played through at the Orlando Stadium in Johannesburg and now signs off for his summer break.
