LA ROJA MARCH TOWARD WORLD CUP AFTER OYARZABAL, TORRES SHINE
Spain thrashed Georgia 4-0 in World Cup qualifying, with Ferran Torres and Mikel Oyarzabal on target. La Roja are all but mathematically through to the 2026 tournament, needing to avoid a huge loss to Turkey.

Despite not being mathematically guaranteed a spot in the tournament next summer, Luis de la Fuente's team has won all five of their Group E games, and their significantly better goal differential makes it extremely improbable that Turkey will be able to overtake them.
Following their 2-0 victory over Bulgaria, Vincenzo Montella's team is now three points behind Spain in their last group match against Turkey on Tuesday.
Turkey would need to defeat Spain by seven goals or more in order for Spain not to advance straight from the group to the World Cup.
La Roja easily won in Tbilisi despite missing star winger Lamine Yamal and other important players Rodri Hernandez, Dani Carvajal, and Nico Williams.
In the first half, Ferran Torres and Martin Zubimendi extended their lead after Mikel Oyarzabal's penalty kick opened the scoring. Oyarzabal then scored twice.
With 19 goals in the group and no goals given up, they have virtually guaranteed a spot in the World Cup for the 13th time in a row.
Torres told TVE, "We feel pretty happy after today, and we performed a really excellent job as a team."
"We are going into our final game to earn a spot in this World Cup, but it is not yet mathematical.
"We are confident in ourselves, but we can never take anything for granted."
Following their victory at Euro 2024, De la Fuente assured his team that they were headed for "legendary" status, and Spain's brutal performance easily defeated the hosts.
Torres' attempt was touched by Giorgi Gocholeishvili, resulting in an early penalty that Oyarzabal calmly scored for his 20th goal for Spain and the 100th of the De la Fuente period.
After 22 minutes, Fabian Ruiz passed in Zubimendi to finish with aplomb for the second goal as Spain controlled the ball and Alex Baena struck the post.
As the visitors went into overdrive, Oyarzabal set up Torres to score the third goal from close range.
Spain came very close to scoring a fourth goal before halftime when Liverpool goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili blocked Oyarzabal's attempt to safety.
After 63 minutes, Oyarzabal scored his second goal off a cross from Torres to add even more gleam to a resounding win.
Oyarzabal told TVE, "I am happiest when I can contribute in this way."
"We must play to win and secure this qualification in the best possible way (against Turkey)."
Late in the game, Georgia attempted to become the first team to score against Spain in the group, but they were unable to find a way through, and Pau Cubarsi deflected the ball against his own post.
Always looking to get better, Arsenal midfielder Zubimendi told TVE, "Even though we won 4-0, there are things we can do better."
Willy Sagnol's Georgia, who made an impression at Euro 2024, will not be able to advance to the play-offs after the loss, ending their hopes of making it to the World Cup finals for the first time.
HARRY KANE CONFIDENT AS ENGLAND AIM HIGH FOR UPCOMING WORLD CUP
England captain Harry Kane believes the squad is united under Thomas Tuchel, creating a vital "brotherhood" ahead of the 2026 World Cup. The striker is in peak form for both club and country.

As Thomas Tuchel tries to assemble a team that thinks they can win the World Cup together next summer, England captain Harry Kane is certain that everyone is on the same page.
With two games remaining, the team has advanced to the North American championships, and Tuchel is still trying to create a true sense of "brotherhood" among the players.
Phil Foden and Jude Bellingham, who started as replacements against Serbia at Wembley on Thursday night, helped give fellow replacement Eberechi Eze's late goal in another thrilling 2-0 victory, demonstrating the group's faith in each other's abilities.
However, Kane believes that everyone is adopting this philosophy.
Ahead of Sunday's last Group K qualifier in Albania, Kane stated, "It seems different in terms of how we work and how things are, but I always feel like the environment has been a major part of our culture and what we sought to develop."
That was a significant identity we shared, even with Gareth (Southgate). There has been a considerable difference since the change between Gareth and Thomas.
"I believe that everyone is eager to participate and wants to show off their skills during practice and competition. It goes without saying that they want to prove to the employer that they are worthy of being chosen for next summer.
"We still have our days to build on what we can until the summer," Kane continued, adding that the mid-season is a hard time for playing every three to four days.
After tomorrow, there are just two games left before we enter pre-camp, at which point the roster will essentially be revealed.
"Even though Marc (Guehi) was injured, he showed up for this camp to kind of be around it because we probably have a few training sessions left until then.
"From that perspective, I believe it has been amazing, and I think it is extremely crucial because we do not have much time to get all the information over until the summer."
As he continues to set records with Bayern Munich, the England captain believes that his personal life could not have gone much better.
"Obviously, I have had excellent periods in my career, but I believe simply as a whole, physically, psychologically, and obviously the goals, the way I am involved in the game, possibly more than what I have been in other years, it has all come together well," Kane stated.
"I always feel like I am playing for one of the finest teams and having big chances when I play for England."
"I think we are at a great moment with Bayern as well, which helps me and gives me chances, and so far this season it has been really wonderful."
BRAZIL CELEBRATE WIN OVER SENEGAL THANKS TO ESTEVAO’S STAR PERFORMANCE

Brazil defeated Senegal 2-0 at the Emirates Stadium in London, intensifying their preparations for the 2026 World Cup.
In their most recent international friendly, Brazil defeated Senegal 2-0 at the Emirates Stadium in London thanks to an incredible performance by Chelsea striker Estevao, who made his tenth senior international appearance.
Selecao blew a two-goal lead against Japan during the last international break, but Carlo Ancelotti's team won handily this time around with no indication of the same defensive weaknesses.
In the 28th minute, Estevao gave Brazil the lead, and seven minutes later, Casemiro of Manchester United doubled it.
In the English city, Senegal, who were currently enjoying a 10-match winning streak in all competitions, found it difficult to get going and managed only one chance on goal.
Brazil is trying to gain some confidence before the World Cup next summer, and Selecao will undoubtedly benefit much from Saturday's victory over a formidable Senegal team.
Despite finishing in a very disappointing fifth position, 10 points behind CONMEBOL qualifying winners Argentina, the national team managed to qualify for the tournament. Under their new coach, Ancelotti, Brazil has been working on improving itself ever since.
The Brazilian team's recent losses against Bolivia and Japan highlighted some significant problems, but Ancelotti appears to be gradually improving the team's performance.
Brazil is still the fourth favourite to win the World Cup in North America despite their recent setbacks, and Selecao will undoubtedly be optimistic about their chances as serial winner Ancelotti starts to turn things around.
Regarding Senegal, a team that has been on fire in recent months, put on a lacklustre showing on Saturday.
Five months ago, Pape Thiaw and his team travelled to England, where they surprised the Three Lions with a 3-1 victory at the City Ground. Unfortunately for the neutrals at Emirates Stadium, Senegal's lacklustre performance against Brazil did not demonstrate that same enthusiasm.
