The Guardian FootballWorld Cup of memes: Japan fans, Beckham unbothered and a simmering bromance
A tournament with more teams and more games has been filled with euphoria, heartbreak, and these weird and wonderful viral moments As a Japanese supporter exclaimed to a television camera, “Texas is good, everything is big”, we knew the World Cup had started. In those early euphoric moments, seeing the palpable joy when everything is still possible, it seemed Japan fans were the MVPs of memes. They came in their thousands, dressed in sombreros and Mario outfits, tossed into the air like confetti and line dancing with the Dutch. Then the heartbreak arrived . Continue reading...

The Guardian FootballFootball Daily | It’s the end of the World Cup as England know it
Sign up now! Sign up now! Sign up now? Sign up now! They say never go that far back. In the last half an hour of their end-of-days Geopolitics World Cup semi-final with Argentina, England committed to the bit in the Deep South. No wonder there were gaps. Thomas Tuchel stood and watched national trauma unfold in front of his eyes as towering aerial threats such as Alexis Mac Allister and Lautaro Martínez beat his four centre-backs to cross after cross. Forget the ghosts of ‘66, the spectre of Southgate loomed over his successor as realism reared its ugly head at the business end of an England men’s major-tournament run once again .

The Guardian FootballITV and BBC to screen full World Cup final half-time show despite time concerns
Broadcasters expect to have time to analyse the game Channels planning for break to last 25 to 30 minutes ITV and BBC are planning to screen in full Fifa’s controversial half-time show from the final at the New York New Jersey Stadium on Sunday, but the broadcasters remain in the dark over how long it will last. The Guardian revealed last month that there were concerns among broadcasters at the length of the half-time spectacle, which has been curated by Coldplay’s Chris Martin and will feature Madonna, Justin Bieber, Shakira and the K‑pop boyband BTS. They are planning for the interval to last between 25 and 30 minutes. Continue reading...
The Guardian FootballFootball Daily | Spain leave France at sixes and sevens as L’Équipe dish out the twos
Sign up now! Sign up now! Sign up now? Sign up now! For a second there, it felt as if this was going to be a rerun for France of the Human Rights World Cup final . Conceding a penalty at the end of the first quarter and looking lost for most of the game, Les Bleus would eventually click. Kylian Mbappé would lock into PlayStation mode, thundering down the left-hand side before cutting in to erase the two-goal deficit. It would be another game for the ages, going beyond normal time – but Luis de la Fuente’s lads weren’t keen on any drama. In reality, Spain put on a suffocating display of control , even if there was little between the two sides in terms of possession. France, the great entertainers of this Geopolitics World Cup, are off home … though not before a jaunt to Miami for the bronze medal game. Continue reading...
The Guardian FootballLethal Spain execute plan to perfection against France on way to World Cup final | Jeff Rueter
Brilliant buildup play has often withered but control and flawless execution overcame France’s more variable chaos When the World Cup came to North America, with its final held in the planet’s biggest media market, the tournament was bound to fixate on stars. Fox’s coverage certainly enables that bias. Every game is billed like a boxing bout between two über-talented footballers rather than 22 players figuring things out across 90 minutes. One semi-final has been distilled down to MESSI v KANE (or MESSI v BELLINGHAM, depending on the broadcaster). The other leaned heavily on hope that Lamine Yamal’s hamstring would finally be at 100% after his April injury. MBAPPÉ v 600 PASSES PER GAME isn’t so snappy. Continue reading...
The Guardian FootballThe World Cup of Calvinball: Fifa’s hasty changes turn refereeing into a free-for-all | Beau Dure
Match officials are enforcing tweaks to the laws of the game that have hardly been tested. The results? Drama, ‘mistaken identities’ and lots of confusion In the comic strip Calvin and Hobbes, the titular characters occasionally played a game known as Calvinball . The rules were amorphous. At any moment, something like a “30-yard base wicket” may become part of the game. Determining a “winner” was besides the point, as the score for one game was given as “Q to 12.” The fictional, farcical sport entered public consciousness and was even cited by US supreme court justice Ketanji Brown Jackson in a blistering dissent last year.

The Guardian FootballDidier Deschamps pays price for breaking free from the shackles that led him to glory | Jonathan Wilson
France finally let loose all their attacking power in this tournament and yet when the big test came against Spain they were too open Maybe Didier Deschamps was right all along. He has been criticised over his 14 years in the France job for being too cautious, for prioritising control, for not unleashing his great fleet of attacking players. In this tournament, his last as national manager, Deschamps has relaxed – from a tactical point of view at least; he remains as grouchy as ever in his public utterances. France have played some glorious football over the past few weeks but when it came down to it, against the first truly elite side they faced, they were overrun. France could have done with being a little more Deschamps. The paradox at this tournament was always that the better France played, the more of a waste the eight years since they won the World Cup appeared. Admiration for their attacking excellence in the US has been tempered by a sense of regret for the potential beauty and joy Deschamps’ cussedness has denied the world over the past decade. This was the France they could have been all that time, playing with elan and panache, evoking legitimate comparison to the glorious France of the early-to-mid 80s. Continue reading...
