Incredible we’re only 45 minutes into this World Cup and we’ve already had a heated debate about an ‘offer to receive’

Sorry but South Africa’s shirt looks like a fake Brazil shirt you’d see in Marks and Spencer in 1998

Welcome to Stars of Soccer, The Athletic’s World Cup player guide. Lionel Messi is here, and there’s room for Cristiano Ronaldo too. There are legends of the game, the current elite, rising stars and others who really make their teams tick. They are old and young, some at their first World Cup, some at their sixth. They are players you should enjoy this summer, and we are here to tell you all about them (and how to pronounce their names). 🔗 nytimes.com/athletic/7279880…

The World Cup visa mess is a story first and foremost about U.S. government policy. For this, FIFA cannot be held responsible. But it is caught in the crosshairs because of Gianni Infantino's personal brand of hubris - and his relationship with President Trump. The clues were there all along. 📝 @AdamCrafton_ bit.ly/4ujKlwx

When Roberto De Zerbi took over, Tottenham Hotspur's players looked broken and their fans had lost hope - this is how he changed the mood. ■ Communication skills crucial ■ Youtube comps for Gallagher ■ Training more possession based ■ Considered Kinsky for captain 📝 @jaydmharris 🔗 nytimes.com/athletic/7309072…
