Qatar-Switzerland is very ‘finish your vegetables or you can’t have any Brazil-Morocco pudding’.

these hydration breaks are calm, but it’s funny how during ramadan people completely lost their heads over games being paused for 30 secs - 1 minute so muslim players could break their fast. i still remember the game vs leeds when cherki, ait-nouri & marmoush were booed. the hypocrisy is unreal

Comme on l'annonçait il y a des mois, les pauses fraîcheur n'ont rien à voir avec la santé des joueurs mais sont là pour placer des pubs au milieu des mi-temps L'arbitre de Mexique 🇲🇽 - Afrique du Sud 🇿🇦 a par exemple dû faire attendre les joueurs lors de la seconde pause fraîcheur après discussion avec un coordinateur car la Fox, le diffuseur américain, était toujours en coupure publicitaire... Malgré les délais imposés à l'arbitre et la reprise tardive, la Fox diffusait toujours des annonces publicitaires lorsque le jeu avait recommencé sans que les téléspectateurs ne puissent le voir

I stand by the fact that Ferran Torres is incredibly valuable as long as he's not starting every match. As long as we sign a starter quality striker, I'm happy with this. However, if we don't sign another striker...

DEEPLY frustrating that the 2026 World Cup Final won't be at the Azteca. Look at it. It's a football cathedral.

Don't know why he wasn't called up in the first place, but atleast he has finally gotten his well deserved call up.

Anthony Gordon vs Costa Rica

Sit back and enjoy 13 minutes of pure greatness. 🍿 The very best of Lamine Yamal this season. 🤤 #LaLigaHighlights

It was always pretty obvious Flick wasn't keen on Rashford.

It's so funny watching people from other fanbases be mad that WE aren't signing Rashford.

🚨 BREAKING: Barcelona will NOT pay €30m buy option clause for Marcus Rashford, expiring in 5 days. Rashford formally set to return to Man United but Barça remain open to new solutions, like another loan deal. ❗️ Barça are open to discuss again if #MUFC open doors. 🔵🔴

Lionel Messi Vs Iceland Ready for the World Cup.

All the UK journalists, including the bbc who were shouting about how disgraceful the culture of Qatar was in 2022 - where are they now?

Switching to a 3-man midfield will make it undeniable that Pedri is the best midfielder in the world. The double pivot was great last season, but it's starting to take away from him.

Since the beginning of this season, there's an argument that De La Fuente has done a better job of platforming Pedri than Flick has. He has effectively given him this license to roam I was describing here, whereas Flick still deploys Pedri almost exclusively as a DLP.

ABD, İsviçreli Embolo'ya vize vermedi. İncelemeye alındı, günler sonra takıma katılabildi. İran Milli Takımı günlerce Ankara'da konsolosluk önünde vize için beklemek zorunda kaldı. ABD sadece maç günleri ülkeye giriş yapma şartıyla verdi. Arka planda çalışan 15 kişiye vize verilmedi. Irak Milli Takım oyuncusu, ABD'ye gitti, ancak 7 saate yakın sorguda tutuldu. Sonrasında ülkeye girişine izin verildi. Afrika'da 2025 yılının en iyi hakemi seçilen ve turnuvada görev alacak olan Omar Artan'a vize verilmedi. Somali kendisine diplomatik pasaport verdi ve ABD'ye uçtu, ancak girişine izin verilmedi ve ülkesine gönderildi. Güney Afrika Milli Takımı kafilenin yarısına vize verilmediği için planlanandan çok sonra ABD'ye gidebildi. Birleşik Krallık vatadaşlarının ESTA sistemine kayıt olmaları halinde 90 gün vizesiz ABD'ye giriş hakları olmasına rağmen İskoç taraftarların vizeleri günler kala iptal edildi. Biletlerini alan otellerde yerini ayırtan ABD vizeleri reddedildi. Paraları da yandı. Dört yılda bir yapılan bir turnuvanın başlamadan içine ettiniz beyler! @FIFAWorldCup @FIFAcom

Dembele false 9, Mbappe LW & Doue LCM in-possession, and then out-of-possession, it's a front 2 of Dembele & Mbappe with Doue at LM (442 shape). This is definitely the best way to platform Mbappe & Dembele at the same time without sacrificing structure. Although, I can imagine Deschamps going with a more all-rounder midfield profile (ie. Kone/Kante/WZA) in the bigger games instead of Doue for more defensive solidity.

Unless their plan is to sell Vini and move Mbappe to LW, signing Alvarez wouldn't make sense for them.

Suddenly all the people who cared about human rights when Russia and Qatar hosted the world cup and suddenly quiet. .. No fancy documentary from the BBC on immigrants rights. No expose on Crime in inner cities (as we saw in South Africa) Just silence.
