FIFA just sold football’s history to the highest bidder.
The removal of analytic data on @FBref is a calculated heist of public knowledge to protect a 2026 World Cup gambling monopoly.
Stats Perform (@OptaSTATS) is taking the heat but FIFA is equally to blame.

It’s pretty bad when you’re 23 and possible match fixing isn’t even close to the worst thing you’ve been in trouble for.
EXCLUSIVE: Ivory Coast starting striker Elye Wahi arrested on suspicion of alleged fixing offences just two weeks before World Cup.
The 23-year-old has not been charged but remains subject of an active investigation.

If you want to work in sports, be prepared for your early 20s to be doing things like this.

The capacity at “Boston Stadium” for the World Cup is 64,146.
That means someone had to put 64,146 very small pieces of blue tape over every single Gillette logo on every. single. seat.
FIFA doesn’t mess around. 😳

Rayan Cherki coming on for a late assist to win it. You heard it here first.

Immediate thoughts on #caboverde against #spain.
Will revisit again after today’s games but these are my immediate reactions.

🔴 Easy to blame Spain for over rotating/not taking CV seriously but I’m not sure that mattered. Still dominated possession and shots. Combination of bad luck, fortunate/unfortunate bounces, incredible defensive discipline and magical goalkeeping is hard for anyone to beat.

🔵 Expanded tournament giveth and taketh away.
Incredible story for #caboverde. Can’t beat that.
Felt like incredible drama at the end, as one of the favorites drops points, til you remember that 32 teams advance and it probably doesn’t matter for #spain.

While we wait for more World Cup games, let’s talk about one of the best young strikers in Europe that isn’t getting enough attention.

At 6'4" with elite top-end speed, 20-year-old Levante UD striker Carlos Espí outpaced Vinícius Júnior & Lamine Yamal in goals since taking over the starting role in February.
With a €25 million release clause, he represents a massive market opportunity for clubs across Europe.

Do you think Xabi Alonso is watching Vini Jr press like this and just thinking what the fuck man?

I’m trying really, really hard not to be negative bc that was an incredible win by the #usnnt. And I don’t dislike Malik Tillman. I think he’s a good player.
But if we’ve gotten to this point, the hype is out of control.

This is what it looks like when an attacking player plays positive…when they make plays.
The back-passing “10” days are over. We have a Mesut Ozil who can also win the ball off of guys.

First question of the postgame show and @AlexiLalas references Miracle. For fucks sake.

He shows flashes of wow type plays but it’s too few and far between for me. Slows the play down every time he gets the ball. Too often a heavy first touch. Not enough end product.
Hope to be wrong. He belongs on the team but I wouldn’t be starting him.

I will say he’s a strong presser and that’s a huge part of Poch’s system, so I get that. That’s the best argument for having him start, especially over Gio Reyna who is not.

It would be cool if Fox would stop cutting to celebrities in the crowd while the ball is in play.
