Going to watch today either Croatia vs Slovenia (FS2) 11:45 AM PDT or Morocco vs Norway (ESPN+) 12 Noon PDT.

Nach dem 1:1 der Schweizer Nationalmannschaft gegen Australien fand der Schweizer Kapitän Granit Xhaka deutliche Worte. Sein Trainer will die Kritik nicht einfach stehen lassen.

The "most inclusive World Cup ever", another update.

Have to admit, haven’t seen the US players play with this kind of passion & heart & committed play in quite awhile.

@raecomm.bsky.social Boah! 😯

Wir treffen in der 1. Runde des DFB-Pokals 2026/27 auf Rot-Weiss Essen. #fcsp

Out here in the ridiculous heat and humidity, tailgating with the @50plusdoner.bsky.social crew. Wouldn’t be anywhere else for #USAGER!

Very tough one for Lennart Karl to miss the World Cup at the 11th hour rather like Austria‘s Christoph Baumgartner and Scotland‘s Billy Gilmour. Assan Ouedraogo (Leipzig) set to switch from Spanish holiday mode to join the Germany squad in Chicago.

In the final training session before tomorrow’s match against the USA, Lennart Karl has suffered what looks like a bad injury. World Cup absence with Germany not out of the question.

Bayern make a sale:

Said gets on very well with Nico Schlotterbeck – and rumour has it in the industry that BVB are known for paying more in signing fees and wages than in transfer fees. #BVB

In Cologne, there are fears that Said El Mala’s mother (who is also his agent) would prefer to have her sons close by. Dortmund is not far from Krefeld (home town). There, Said could play in the Champions League. #BVB

🇺🇾 32/48: Uruguay head to their 15th World Cup finals under the stewardship of Marcelo Bielsa, a manager who is taking a third different nation to the big show. Here's our look at La Celeste, which rounds off our preview of Group H.

Thankfully Switzerland striker Breel Embolo now has his authorization to travel to the USA. Next hurdle will be his Canadian authorization but not needed until the 3rd game in Group B against Canada.

FINALLY got my hands on an authentic 2014 Germany away shirt that fits me! These kits are hard to find in big guy sizes. Can’t wait to wear it for USA vs Germany on Saturday. 😎

Kicker Monday edition carries the headline “Neuer in goal at the World Cup: will this work out?” “The 40 year old goalkeeping legend on the verge of another cold start going into a tournament. This is how the test against Finland went without him.”

🇺🇸 The USMNT beat Senegal 3-2 in North Carolina (yes, that’s 3-2).

Germany 🇩🇪 vs Finland 🇫🇮 Friendly, now being played in Mainz. In the US, game is on FS2.

Being reported that Adi Hütter has signed to be Head Coach for Eintracht Frankfurt.

226 - Arsenal remain the team with the most games in European Cup/UEFA Champions League history to never lift the trophy (226). Agony.

0 - Gabriel Magalhães is the first-ever player to miss a match-deciding penalty in the UEFA Champions League or European Cup final by shooting the ball next to or over the goal. Heartbreak.

24.7% - Arsenal’s possession average (24.7%) was the lowest by a team in a UEFA Champions League final on record (since 2003-04), as well as their lowest in any match under Mikel Arteta where they had 11 men on the pitch throughout. Reactive.

Billy Gilmour out of the World Cup due to a knee injury. Difficult to digest for any player just days away from the tournament. Particularly sore one for Scotland given Gilmour‘s quality.

Later than usual (at my end!) the Kicker cover. “Starting signals.” “Völler backs Nagelsmann. Interview with Pascal Gross. On Sunday against Finland the penultimate World Cup test.”

Just 5 days on from Wolfsburg‘s official demotion to the 2. Bundesliga with Dieter Hecking as coach, the 61 year old has been named sporting-CEO filling the existing vacancy,

Was für ein mächtiger Gewittercluster über Belgien. Der Eisschirm reicht mittlerweile schon bis an die deutsche Grenze. Im Süden NRWs sollte man das Gerät im Blick behalten. /LD

13 Tage bis zur WM - Just Fontaine hält den Rekord für die meisten Tore bei einer einzelnen FIFA-Weltmeisterschaft. Bei der WM 1958 erzielte er 13 Tore für Frankreich und traf dabei in allen 6 Spielen. Effizient. #OptaWorldCupCountdown

Nach eineinhalb Jahren verlässt James #Sands den FC St. Pauli in diesem Sommer. Der von MLS-Club New York City FC ausgeliehene Mittelfeldspieler bestach mit Einsatz und Laufstärke, aufgrund zweier schwerer Verletzungen kam der US-Amerikaner nur auf 35 Pflichtspiele. #fcsp
