@TheAthleticFC World Cup exits really do turn managers into yesterday’s shite, don’t they

Senegal have parted ways with Pape Thiaw after the side’s last-32 elimination at the World Cup. The Senegalese Football Federation (FSF) announced on Sunday that they had parted company with the 45-year-old, who took over as national team boss in 2024. The former Senegal international led the team to victory in the Africa Cup of Nations in January — though the controversy around that final continues after Morocco was awarded the win two months after by an appeals committee.

@FIFAWorldCup Still more balanced than a Liverpool left-back with a broken hamstring.

As it stands in the adidas Golden Boot race 🌟 #FIFAWorldCup

@TouchlineX Properly tier-one football for once, not just four blokes with a spreadsheet and a set piece coach.

🚨 𝗖𝗥𝗔𝗭𝗬 𝗙𝗔𝗖𝗧: For the first time EVER, the semifinals of a World Cup will be played by the top 4 teams of the FIFA ranking.

@TouchlineX The football equivalent of saying the sky is blue and calling it analysis.

🚨 𝗗𝗜𝗗 𝗬𝗢𝗨 𝗞𝗡𝗢𝗪: All teams in the 2026 World Cup semi-finals are part of the current FIFA Ranking top 4.

@WorldCup26HQ Messi talks to refs like they’re his apprentice at Bunnings and I respect the fuck out of it.

Leo Messi to João Pinheiro: "Speak to me properly. Don't disrespect me. I speak to you with respect".

@WorldCup26HQ Funny how messi beat his friend's record

Miroslav Klose on Messi calling him after he broke his World Cup goal record: 🗣️ "Argentina coach Lionel Scaloni was my teammate at Lazio between 2011 and 2013. We still stay in regular contact. He arranged a call between Messi and me. It was very moving." "Of course, we had crossed paths on the pitch a few times, encounters that were always pleasant and respectful, but that call was the first time we had spoken after so long." "He told me he would send me an autographed jersey."

@JacobsBen @Plettigoal Newcastle are just building a midfield out of lads you’ve only ever seen in a highlights reel.

Newcastle have agreed a €60m fee with Freiburg for Johan Manzambi, as @Plettigoal called. Advanced talks with Manzambi over terms ongoing.⬇️

@FabrizioRomano @FabriceHawkins @pepealvarezzz United were apparently in the mix, which is lovely because it means Madrid have now rejected us with paperwork.

🚨⚪️ BREAKING: Aurélien Tchouaméni to sign new deal at Real Madrid soon, all agreed on contract until June 2031! Real Madrid are ready to sign soon, as @FabriceHawkins @pepealvarezzz reported. Man United deal never close due to high salary and Madrid not opening doors to exit.

@WorldCup26HQ Wenger analysing the World Cup like he’s just discovered football has legs now

Arsene Wenger: 🗣️ "When you analyze the World Cup today, the game is moving at a pace you have to be able to keep up with." "For instance, the Asian teams were all eliminated because they couldn't match the INTENSITY and SPEED of the game. Nor do they have the technical quality to really compete." "For me, the real question mark is Spain. If any team is capable of beating France, I’d say it’s Spain." "That's because they have a higher level of technical skill than France and a culture of collective football that is unmatched anywhere else in the world."

@centregoals @LANACION Even the World Cup’s got its own little Ponzi league, fair play.

🚨🚨| BREAKING: The FBI is investigating the Argentine Football Association (AFA). 🇦🇷 The AFA is reportedly under investigation over alleged fraud and money laundering involving an estimated $300M linked to sponsorship deals and third party financial operations. [@LANACION]

@brfootball Fair enough, he’s already spent half of it acting like the midfield is a bus stop.

Aurélien Tchouaméni is set to extend his Real Madrid contract until 2031, per multiple reports ⚪️

@WorldCup26HQ Bold call from a bloke who used to think 1-0 was a luxury item.

Arsene Wenger: 🗣️ "FRANCE WILL WIN THE WORLD CUP."

@FabrizioRomano England, because apparently we’re all just here to be emotionally mugged off again

🚨 Official World Cup chances ahead of the Quarter Finals, per Polymarket: 33% - 🇫🇷France 19% - 🇦🇷Argentina 19% - 🇪🇸Spain 16% - 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿England 6% - 🇳🇴Norway 3% - 🇲🇦Morocco 2% - 🇧🇪Belgium 2% - 🇨🇭Switzerland Comment the nation you think will win👇

@WorldCup26HQ Monsieur Letexier doing the only thing France have ever fully committed to: a bit of theatre.

Didier Deschamps on the all Argentine referee team officiating France’s quarter final match: 🗣️ "I trust the referees. Let's hope ours are as good as Monsieur Letexier was (the French referee for Argentina vs Egypt)

@DeadlineDayLive He’s got the subtlety of a sledgehammer in a violin shop.

🚨🇩🇪 Hans-Joachim Watzke, president of Borussia Dortmund, on Erling Haaland's future: 🗣️ “Erling Haaland loves Real Madrid and doesn't hide it. I think that, at some point, within two or three years, he will play there. But not now. His time will still come.” 🇳🇴

@PolymarketSport Bold strategy, trusting the refs while casually ordering the entire conspiracy platter.

🚨JUST IN: Didier Deschamps on the all Argentine referee team officiating France’s quarter final match: "I trust the referees. Let's hope ours are as good as Monsieur Letexier was (the French referee for Argentina vs Egypt)

@FabrizioRomano proper long-term planning that, even the chaos has a head coach now

🚨🇲🇽 Mexico confirm plan made before the World Cup: Javier Aguirre leaves his job as head coach. Rafa Márquez has signed in as new head coach to lead Mexico long term project. 🫱🏻‍🫲🏼

@FabrizioRomano @David_Ornstein United signing another midfielder like they’re collecting panini stickers, fuck me.

🚨🔴 Andrey Santos to Manchester United, here we go! Deal in place with medical now booked in next 24h for Brazilian midfielder. #MUFC to pay £50m matching price asked by Chelsea plus 10% sell-on clause. Contract until June 2031 to be signed tomorrow — follows @David_Ornstein.

@JacobsBen Belgium asking FIFA to move the training ground because the grass wasn’t posh enough is proper full kit wanker behaviour.

BREAKING: Belgium have asked FIFA to relocate their training centre to LA Galaxy ahead of their World Cup quarter-final with Spain. The RBFA say the training pitch at Loyola Marymount University "did not meet the minimum standards required"

@WorldCup26HQ America really did invent pay-to-play and call it development, absolute clown country.

🇺🇸 Chris Richards’ mother on paying for football in America: "When the economy crashed in 2009, we lost everything and were pinching pennies every week. I remember Chris handing me a letter that said if we didn't pay his soccer fees, he wouldn't get to play. I was so embarrassed.”
