Loving Toronto during the @FIFAWorldCup! 👌 Time for 🇧🇷 Brazil vs Morocco 🇲🇦 #FIFAWorldCup

🚨 🇪🇸 Marc Cucurella: “Yes I’m attracted to Xabi Alonso’s project. I’ve spoken with him and he inspired a lot of confidence in me. I’ve also spoken with Grimaldo and Borja, who have worked with him, and they spoke very highly of him. The project seems very interesting.” (MARCA)

🇧🇷 Brazil vs Morocco 🇲🇦 5-time champions vs the 2022 semi-finalists. Samba magic meets Atlas Lions roar at the MetLife. Fireworks incoming! 🔥 🔮 Prediction: Brazil grind out a 2-1 thriller. They are unbeaten in their last 15 World Cup openers – a record no other nation matches. Can Morocco finally break it? #FIFAWorldCup #BRAMAR #Ad

🇨🇮 RB Leipzig forward Yan Diomande: “I don’t model myself after anyone... Drogba is a good player, but he is not the player I model myself after because we have a different way of playing, so... I wouldn’t say Drogba, but he is a great legend, yes. You can also see it this way: He is a role model — not for me, but for every player in my country, and I think also for this generation of Africans, for young players.” (via @MirrorFootball)

🗣️ @BobbyVincentFL: “As for Cucurella, the club should look to sell the Spain international. Jorrel Hato's form in 2026, as well as his sky-high potential, has eased Chelsea's position on the left-back. Cucurella, like Fernandez, criticised the club in March and that did not go down too well internally. If he wishes to go back to Spain, like sources suggest, then Chelsea should grant him his wish - but only, like the Fernandez situation, if the club receive the right offer for his services. As well as this, Chelsea need to make a decision on Cucurella this summer. Either sell him or risk the left-back entering the final 2 years of his Stamford Bridge contract.”

🗣️ @BobbyVincentFL: “If you asked me one month ago, I was very much in the camp of 'keep Enzo Fernandez at all costs'. What he adds to the Chelsea side is crucial; not only is he a leader on the pitch but his goal scoring abilities are also unmatched from midfield. However, following confirmation that the 25-year-old wishes to depart this summer, it may be best for Chelsea to cash in. If they can get £120million - the price the club are demandingfor the Argentina international's services - then it represents a good profit on the £107m they paid 3.5 years ago [in line with inflation, also]. If Real Madrid cough up the £120m, then sell, because having an unhappy player might have a negative impact on Xabi Alonso's squad in the Spaniard's debut season at Stamford Bridge. Let's hope we don't see Fernandez kick up a fuss if - in the worst case scenario - no club wants to pay such an enormous fee. Either way, Chelsea should not budge on their valuation of the Argentine.”

🚨 Over the last couple of weeks, @Football_LDN has learned that Marc Cucurella and Enzo Fernandez have both informed Chelsea of their intentions to leave in the coming months. (via @BobbyVincentFL)

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 Chelsea captain Reece James: “I’ve always wanted to play in a World Cup. The last one I didn’t make, it wasn’t meant to be that year, and I’m excited for what’s to come in the future. It’s always a better vibe when there’s big stakes on the line and you’re playing against the best teams in the world.” (via @ChelseaFC)

USA 🤝 PochBall Best performance at the 2026 FIFA World Cup, so far.

🇺🇸 If only Chelsea had a winger like Christian Pulisic…

🇺🇸 The hugely industrious midfielder Tyler Adams has plenty of admirers. Manchester United have recognised his output as analysts point to stats that in some respects compare to, or  better, those of Manchester City's Rodri. United have continued to monitor as they assess targets, Liverpool's Andoni Iraola is an advocate, while Chelsea retain interest. (via @MailSport)

🏟️ @NizaarKinsella on Chelsea having a new stadium: “If you ask the club's ownership or senior executives, the answer is a straightforward yes. There is a full commitment, in line with the terms of the initial takeover, to build a new stadium - but delivering it is far from straightforward. High interest rates and rising construction costs present significant challenges. Building a new ground in one of the most expensive areas of one of the world's most expensive cities has long been considered a complex undertaking.”

🚨 Chelsea are expected to go into next season with Robert Sanchez competing with Mike Penders for the Number 1 spot. (via @NizaarKinsella)

🇨🇦 Canada 1-1 Bosnia 🇧🇦 Can’t doubt their fans passion for the beautiful game 👌 (🎥 via @Devin_Heroux) #FIFAWorldCup

🚨 🇪🇸 BREAKING: Atletico Madrid set to open talks with Chelsea over Marc Cucurella. (via @JacobsBen)

🇨🇦 Canada 2-1 Bosnia incoming! Our Blues know all about squads that punch above their weight and deliver when it matters. Canadians appear to be some of the nicest people on the planet, but they’re about to be ruthless on the pitch tonight. Excited for the vibes in Toronto 💙 #CANBOS #FIFAWorldCup #Ad

🍁💙 Any Canadian Chelsea fans? In Toronto for the @FIFAWorldCup!

🦆 🇲🇽 Excuse me? Is that a duck in a jersey. This World Cup is going to be special.

Former Chelsea star Emmanuel Petit: “Enzo Fernandez should go, you cannot keep a player happy if he wants to leave. He did say that he wanted to leave and he was fined by the club. I know he's probably been one of the best players for Chelsea for the last 2 years, but you cannot be the captain of the team and have this kind of communication. Obviously he wants to leave the club, we are not stupid. I think he's been fed up and tired with what's going on at Chelsea. It's been a mess this season. Obviously he is targeted by Real Madrid. Real Madrid desperately needs to get some strong and powerful midfield players. I won't be surprised if he leaves the club and goes to Real Madrid or somewhere else.”
