The Guardian FootballUnwelcome and undue: Trump’s red-card intervention hurts the US’s World Cup more than it helps | Pablo Iglesias Maurer
In pushing Fifa to reverse Folarin Balogun’s suspension, the president did the most American thing possible: assert unasked-for power to get his way The story of Garrincha’s red card in the 1962 World Cup is the stuff of legend. The Brazilian great was sent off in the semi-finals for lashing out at an opponent, but back then, Fifa had no automatic one-match suspension in place. So a disciplinary committee convened the next day to decide his fate for the final. As the story goes, the assistant referee who had the best view of the offense was paid off and disappeared, and the president of Chile, the tournament’s host, put in a call to Fifa, urging them to decide against any additional suspension. He did so for the sake of keeping one of the tournament’s most entertaining players on the field. Garrincha emerged scot-free, and Brazil won their second World Cup days later. Continue reading...

The Guardian FootballFreddy the German: psyop, mirror to US rapacity or Tocqueville in a CR7 shirt?
The true identity of the World Cup’s breakout fan has been the topic of feverish debate. He is also the tournament’s most revealing character Farewell, then, Freddy – the fan whose face we never saw, the German we never heard speak German, the man forever behind the emoji, the World Cup’s Wizard of Oz. Farewell from X, at least. Shortly after Die Mannschaft’s World Cup elimination , the visiting German fan who became famous on social media through the tournament’s early weeks suddenly disappeared. As the legend of Freddy (or @freddyla7, to use his social media handle) grew and his posts marveling at the majesty of the United States’ gas stations, fast food offerings, stadiums, and highways continued to rack up millions of views, the German – who made a point of never revealing his full name or face – quickly became a Rorschach test for people’s attitudes to online popularity in the age of Elon Musk and Gianni Infantino. Some accepted Freddy for who he claimed to be: a man enjoying himself in the land of the free as he roadtripped in pursuit of World Cup-fueled entertainment. Others of a more conspiracist bent, spying his rapidly amassing pile of brand engagements, saw him as a plant, a fiction, a psyop cooked up by the US government and corporate America to convince us all that actually, a country where it requires a mortgage to get a blood test is still the greatest place on Earth.

Sweden did their best to cope with the French front four but were blown away by the slickest operation in town.
