@CraigHope_DM Keeper isn’t off the line. This is a robbery

Penalty to England... Modric swings to clear & catches Madueke. Kane's penalty saved but... the keeper is off his line! To be retaken. His back foot looked very close to the line...

@Ruxiiii4 THERE’s no Midfield when in ball playing. All ther players positioning in both wide areas. No midfield

Some thoughts on Portugal. It wasn’t a very good first half, but some of the ideas make sense to me. First, I like the full-back roles. Keeping Nuno Mendes deeper helps with rest defence and occasionally allows him to exploit space in behind when it is available. But I wouldn’t push him into the last line too often. It doesn’t make sense because you need him for rest defence, and Pedro Neto needs to stay wide and hold the touchline. On the other hand, allowing Cancelo to push higher brings something different in the final third and gives Bernardo more freedom to move inside. Cancelo won’t contribute much to rest defence anyway, so his value is higher in more advanced positions. I also like starting Neto ahead of Leão. First, because of the discipline issues that can affect team management. Second, because Pedro Neto can attack space in behind, and Portugal needs a runner with so many players who like to come to the ball: Bruno, Bernardo, Cancelo, Vitinha, and even Cristiano. Leão has the athleticism to attack depth, but he often prefers to receive to feet. There is one thing I don’t like, though, and it could become a concern. When you play with a midfield of Vitinha, João Neves, and Bruno Fernandes, your counter-press is essential. Look at PSG’s counter-pressing: without it, it becomes very difficult to succeed. If you get pinned back, you can suffer because those midfielders lack physicality. That’s why PSG puts so much emphasis on counter-pressing. It’s the same reason Flick keeps such a high line: because players like De Jong and Pedri can struggle if they have to defend in a lower block. Portugal’s counter-press wasn’t good enough. With the ball I would also give a bit more freedom to Bruno Fernandes or Bernardo Silva to receive more often in deeper zones, as this could also help improve the counter-press.

@terryflewers The contact was made by Mbappe, not by Mane and it’s not Premier League to award penalties for every single touch

How is that not a penalty? What a joke! That is a disgrace

@iMiaSanMia Brown, Nico, Nmecha did better than him. But hey, who cares? A win and two goals from him and that’s all the matter

Kai Havertz has been named Player of the Match

That’s how you start #WorldCup. Tricky games are coming so this 3 point and goals are HUGE. Happya for Musiala. Brown, Havertz,Flo and Dndav ands Nico are sooo good. A whole team performed as expected except Sane and a few sloppy moments, which #Germany can’t afford against better side. Come on Germany. #Worldcup2026

Germany are now the all time top scorers at the World Cup, moving ahead of Brazil by one goal: ◉ 239 - Germany ◎ 238 - Brazil @Squawka

@FabrizioRomano No EPL players start in what????

🚨💣 EXCLUSIVE: Real Madrid reach verbal agreement to sign Marc Cucurella from Chelsea, HERE WE GO! Verbal agreement in place between all parties, player too — he’s the left back wanted by Mourinho. Details to follow. Cucurella leaves #CFC and joins Madrid after World Cup. ⚪️🇪🇸

@heis_fede Turkey didn't come to take a win

Australia didn’t come to play football 😭😭

#Australia 2-0 #Turkey

@InvertTheWing It’s what happens when you have a “ I’m different “ syndrome. Anyanoui is good and well rated but he didn’t do better than Bouaddi. It’s OK to agree with majority sometimes 😂

Don’t understand why all the talk is on Bouaddi (good player), felt El Anyanoui was much better today. Underrated.

No hate, but HOW???? Bouaddi, Mazraoui, B.Diaz did better😑 #WorldCup2026 #Brazil

What a goal from #Morocco . #Brazil struggling and not being able to compete again Morocco. Great finish by Saibari and I think Gabriel should’ve done better. #BRAMOR

Hello Jamal my bro. I’m from Myanmar, a Y. Your HUGE fan here. I know you’re not at your best like you want to be since you experience horrific injury and some people doubt your ability. Guess what? A lot of people believe in you and trust your ability. May your god help you to find confidence you had in the past. May you become even BETTER, GREATER, SPECIAL PLAYER than ever before. All the best bro. I’ve owned ONLY one kit with the name in my life and that’s Marco Reus. But now I bought a Germany kit with your name and number on it. I believe in you. Come on Jamal. You got this. 💪💪 Good luck at World Cup @JamalMusiala @DFB_Team #Germany #Musiala #Worldcup

@iMiaSanMia My only problem with JN related to Musiala is, he’s using him in No.10 role. Jamal should start in LM Flo, 10 …

Regardless of Müller and Klopp's suggestion to drop him, Jamal Musiala is Julian Nagelsmann's clear starter in central attacking midfield. He has consistently been in the starting lineup during all training sessions over the past few days. Barring any further injuries, Musiala will start behind Kai Havertz against Curaçao tomorrow, with Deniz Undav starting on the bench [@BILD]

Imagine Jamal see or hear this at his lowest ( of course he sees this) He did everything he can when he’s at his best and make easier for teammates, and now he’s not at his best yet and needs support, everyone is against trusting him. WC hasn’t started yet and there are already two groups in one team. Sad. #WorldCup #Germany

Deniz Undav on Thomas Müller and Jürgen Klopp suggesting that he should start at #10 ahead of Musiala on Sunday: "First of all, I was very pleased. That shows I'm doing something right. The coach has many options. In the end, it doesn't matter who starts. You can rely on those who will play. But I was happy to hear that from the two of them. And now we'll see who plays. I think it's good because Thomas knows a lot about football. If he has something to criticize or praise, then it's probably well-founded. I'm happy when someone like Thomas criticizes or praises me. If he criticizes me, then of course he does it with a good intention, so that I can do better next time. Therefore: No matter what Thomas says, he's entitled to it."

@iMiaSanMia @MagentaTV Lothar is right. Even Musiala isn’t exactly the same he was like Euro and WorltCup 2022 yet, he’s still better than Undav, I mean no disrespect to Undav. Don’t worry, Musiala will be back one of his best in this World Cup.

During the @MagentaTV World Cup broadcast, Jürgen Klopp and Thomas Müller put together their ideal Germany lineup for Sunday and suggested starting Deniz Undav behind the striker instead of Jamal Musiala. The idea was that Musiala would be subbed on later against tired legs when spaces open up Lothar Matthäus is clearly against this idea, telling @BILD: "I was very surprised when I saw that Jürgen Klopp and Thomas Müller advised playing Deniz Undav instead of Jamal Musiala in the opening match. I accept their opinion, but I don't want to let it stand. I feel it lacks sensitivity. Jürgen Klopp, of all people, should know better. To have a successful World Cup, Germany needs the quality of Musiala. That's why he needs to be given trust and playing time. Klopp's comments aren't exactly making Nagelsmann's job any easier. I'd like to see what Klopp would have said if a pundit had advised him to bench one of his regular starters before an important Champions League match. Such interference isn't well received, especially among fellow coaches. We all know that Musiala isn't yet at his best. But instead of creating unrest around him, we should be supporting him. Instead, we see something like this. I also found it somewhat odd how Thomas Müller was talking about Jamal Musiala, his former teammate with whom he has recently been playing. I'm a TV pundit myself and I know that criticism is part of the job. But not a single minute of the World Cup has been played yet, and already this kind of discussion is being started. And especially now, when Musiala showed improving form in the second half of the game against the USA."

Czech only want the ball in the air. South Korea was far better team. Better in the ball, individual brilliance, runners, compose on the ball . Deserved win. #Southkorea #Czech #Worldcup2026

@FabrizioRomano Czech only want the ball in the air. South Korea was far better team. Better in the ball, individual brilliance, runners, compose on the ball . Deserved win.
