ST EXCLUSIVE: straitstimes.com/sport/shock…
It is my understanding that Valere Germain who played and scored v Sailors, was meant to be serving a three-match ban in AFC comps.
Awaiting official confirmation on the matter from AFC, who I believe are looking into it.

Cape Verde. Third smallest country by population ever to qualify for a World Cup.
On their World Cup debut.
Hold one of the WC favourites Spain to a 0-0 draw.
Football….bloody hell.

From being born in a refugee camp to scoring at a World Cup. A message to millions. ⭐️
Nestory Irankunda’s journey from displacement to becoming Australia’s youngest #FIFAWorldCup goalscorer shows what’s possible when hope, talent and opportunity come together. 🌍⚽

BG Tampines Rovers announce the departure of Japanese defender Shuya Yamashita.
Not the end of the road for the possible naturalisation route as far as I understand. He is set to stay in Singapore.

Had to run off for a few interviews so couldn’t get to update at FT.
It ends 2-2 with a late Kamada equaliser. Both teams should be fairly happy with the result.
Brilliant atmosphere inside the AT&T today thanks to both sets of fans.

Netherlands with a sweet strike to make it 2-1.
Keito Nakamura had equalised for the Japanese. But West Ham winger Summerville curled a peach of a strike that’s gone in off the left post.

Dutch delight.
Virgil van Dijk heads in to give the Netherlands the lead six minutes after half-time.

Halftime: 0-0.
Not a classic so far. Netherlands have just about edged with better chances.

Here at the AT&T Stadium.
Japan Netherlands in about an hour. Very excited for this one. Two teams I really like. Both can make a statement of intent here on this very hot afternoon in Dallas.

A homecoming in the works at BG Tampines Rovers?
I understand that they’ve looked at a former stalwart to fill the vacant head coach role.
One to watch 👀

Am I the only one who feels that they’ve made it more ‘American football’ less ‘soccer’ with these hydration break ads?
Essentially 4 quarters instead of 2 halves. Games gone 🥵
And yes @deeppaann, it’s the case in the SG broadcast too.

Pretty big story in the US and UK. What’s the situation in Singapore? Is it an ad break too ?
Fox’s full-screen ads during World Cup hydration breaks cause dismay in US: ‘Absolute nonsense’ theguardian.com/football/202…

Incredible performance.
An enormous team effort by every single player out there.
This was prime Tony Popovic. His tactics, his organisation, his ability to create a team that refused to break under pressure.
One of our greatest World Cup victories.
Go have a party, Australia
