The Guardian FootballAzteca avengers? England return to scene of infamous Maradona handball
Mexico have a formidable record in their iconic stadium but for many it will always be associated with one player As soon as the World Cup draw was completed in Washington DC last December, the date went into the diary, circled in bold by every England fan that hoped to travel, and millions more who knew they would not. Sunday 5 July, Mexico City. If everything went to plan and Thomas Tuchel’s team topped Group L and won their last-32 tie, they would be going to the Azteca Stadium for the last 16. There was another element in play. If Mexico won their group and advanced in the last 32, they would provide the opposition. Just imagine. England to play a critical knockout tie against one of the host nations in their back yard. It is a back yard where Mexico boast a fearsome record, where they feel close to invincible, owing in part to it being about 2,240 metres above sea level. The altitude can spin the heads of opposing players, burn their lungs. It does not affect Mexico. Continue reading...

The Guardian FootballWorld Cup 2026: England, USA and Belgium through; Spain and Portugal face last-32 tests – live
⚽ All the latest news from day 22 of the tournament ⚽ Bracketology | Knockout stage draw | And email us And I appreciate all this has been forgotten because England won but Harry Kane should have been awarded a first-half penalty. When a goalkeeper slides and does not get the ball, of course the forward is going to take the contact. Kane is just being punished for being as clever as the officials desire. Maurico Pochettino was rather unhappy with Folarin Balogun’s dismissal. The striker painfully caught the Bosnia and Herzegovina defender Tarik Muharemovic on the ankle but it was a complete accident with two players going for the ball. Continue reading...
The Guardian FootballTrump is avoiding the World Cup because it’s packed with good things he doesn’t like | Barney Ronay
For all its gloss and elitist governance, football will not bend to the will of a president so eager to demonise and exclude At 4.38pm on 28 June Donald Trump dropped a Truth. Nothing unusual in that. Trump’s Truth Social feed is relentless and ever-giving. That same afternoon he also Truthed at 3.58pm, 3.59pm, and twice at 7.42pm, all in the same instantly recognisable, weirdly cartoonish tone, as if a giant maize-based salted snack from a jaunty 1970s TV advert has been pumped full of voodoo and vitamins and propped up behind a lectern to explain geopolitics to the world, but only in the kind of words you might use while arguing with your nine-year-old sister.

The Guardian FootballMalik Tillman’s bloody sock game rockets into US World Cup history
The midfielder had to work hard to win his place in Mauricio Pochettino’s squad for this tournament. He is more than repaying his coach’s faith While Malik Tillman was unsure of what to expect from the United States’ last-32 clash with Bosnia and Herzegovina, he certainly must have assumed he would finish the game with his boots intact. Tillman has been one of the US’s most important players in their run to the last 16, a vital part of their build-up and a tricky technician for opponents to contend with when he’s maneuvering through the final third. While everyone else waited to learn whether or not Folarin Balogun would be sent off during the second half of Wednesday’s 2-0 victory , Tillman noticed some discomfort with his right boot. There was a good reason: the top of it had been ripped after a stomp from an opponent. Continue reading...
The Guardian FootballFootball Daily | England survive a Lionel M masterclass and roll on to the Azteca … just
Sign up now! Sign up now! Sign up now? Sign up now! “For us now, it’s absolutely not a time to panic,” Anthony Barry urged in his now customary half-time debrief, with England 1-0 down to a Democratic Republic of Congo side playing with serious confidence. Thomas Tuchel’s No 2 coldly broke down what was required in the second half – “not a time to play gung-ho football” – but was done dirty by the stat that flashed up on the BBC’s coverage as he spoke. The last time England went on to win a World Cup match in which they conceded first? West Germany in the 1966 final. Yes, you may panic. As an ex-pat Sassenach now living in Edinburgh, capital of the Democratic Republic of Scongo, I can only express my frustration at Harry Kane for depriving the locals of what would inevitably have been an extra bank holiday today. Oh well, all attention now turns to the wee small hours of Monday, when Edinburgh becomes the capital of MexiSco” – John Collins. That was a statement win. I think we deserve to get one of our exclamation points back. Can we please at least be USA USA USA! now?” – Pat Condreay [thoughts? – Football Daily Ed]. Continue reading...
