Gardons cet état d’esprit, ce n’est que le début 👊🏼🇲🇦

This is a cool look at how SoFi Stadium prepared to host eight World Cup matches (including the USMNT’s first match on home soil in 32 years). They had to remove seats and suites and then built an entirely new natural grass field with irrigation and drainage on top of the turf.

The Premier League has confirmed several rule changes that will come into force for the 2026-27 season. Injuries Players who receive on-field injury treatment/assessment will be required to leave for at least one minute (an increase from the 30 seconds previously used by the Premier League). Restarts A “five-second” countdown and restart reversal for clearly delaying throw-ins and goal-kicks (if the time limit is exceeded, the throw-in is awarded to the opposing team; for a goal-kick the opposing team are awarded a corner). Substitutions A “10-second” time limit for players to leave the field when substituted. If the time limit is exceeded, the substitute cannot enter until the first stoppage after one minute has elapsed. VAR A VAR review for when second yellow cards are awarded to a player resulting in a red card (only for when players are awarded a second yellow card, rather than a potential second yellow card). The Premier League does not intend to adopt the competition optional laws, including the increase in scope of VAR to review incorrectly awarded corners.

Hence the "can get close" plus the burden of goals now falls to Isak and Ekitike so a 10-15 goals from LW would be very good. Yamal is only reaching those numbers now so I feel it would be asking too much of young Rio to expect them from him

Respect Fred please

I thought Issa Diop was Senegalese?

Forget long talk, the true test of an ultra-rich man is the net worth of his lowest employee. King Solomon's boys rejected silver because their level of wealth in the palace was different. Elon Musk has shown that again

Also, Abde and Rio don't even Guarantee 20 goals between them in total but I bet Barcola alone can get close to that number.

I love Rio but he hasn't shown what Yamal showed in his early days to be getting shouted as almost a shoe-in for the LW position. Let's be serious please.

We shouldn’t sell Gakpo. He just shouldn’t be starting. He has goals in him. But I don’t wanna see revisionist takes when he inevitably scores a few during this World Cup.

Did all the fans entering the USA, Canada and Mexico do so by air???

Morocco will beat Brazil tonight

I don't think anfield can host world cup matches as it doesnt have a screen.

Personally this Dai Dai song is the least catchy world cup song I've heard. No catchy hook, just bland. (I know the streams are flying 🙂)

*what I expected from Frimpong

Are there native Canadians?

Is the Telemundo showing the World Cup the same one showing Telenovelas?

So teams will fly between South America, Europe and Africa in 2030?

BREAKING: Elon Musk has become the world's first trillionaire. After SpaceX raised a record $75 billion in its IPO, Musk’s net worth shot up to top $1.1 trillion when the stock began trading Friday, putting him in an economic class of his own. Combined with his holdings in electric vehicle maker Tesla, as well as other investments and assets, Musk's net worth is now estimated at about $1.1 trillion. Musk's stake in the rocket and satellite company alone is now estimated at a staggering $690 billion, but it's also a life-changing moment for thousands of workers at the company who hold equity. Investors who watched Musk help turn Tesla into an automotive giant are now betting he can do the same in space and artificial intelligence, as SpaceX launches the largest IPO in history.
