Walcott’s endorsement carries weight given his own experiences with squad highs and lows. What do you think of the squad — any big surprise

"It's the best 26 in the country" Theo Walcott gives his thoughts on Thomas Tuchel's England squad for the 2026 World Cup 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

On Marcus Rashford: “I’m really pleased for Marcus Rashford… He takes risks… I think he is going to have a really important summer and we can lean on him. He has a lot of experience and he is exciting.” • On the midfield: Exciting options like Kobbie Mainoo (who worked his way back in), Morgan Rogers (fresh off a Europa League win), Jordan Henderson (for experience), and others. • On defence: Praised Dan Burn’s “energy, chemistry,” John Stones’ leadership for the younger players, and the overall youthful but solid backline. He emphasized trusting the manager’s vision: “It’s an incredible selection and you have to give the manager credit for going with what he thinks is best.” englandfootball.com

Cristiano Ronaldo has indeed scored 10 goals in his last 10 competitive matches for Portugal. He’s still delivering at an elite level, showing incredible finishing, mentality, and consistency. facebook.com This run highlights his enduring dominance in international football (he’s the all-time top scorer with 140+ goals). Recent highlights include braces and key strikes in Nations League and World Cup qualifying matches. en.wikipedia.org He’s a machine. Portugal is lucky to have him leading the line heading into more big tournaments. What a legend. 🐐 Do you think he’ll keep this form up for the 2026 W

Pure PL Greatness/Legacy → Beckham wins for longevity, titles, and defining an era. He’s in the “all-time PL XI” conversation more often. • Raw Talent + Current Dominance → Bruno feels bigger today — higher output rate, more complete attacking threat, and carrying a club through tough times. • “Bigger Player” Overall: Depends on criteria. If it’s influence on the game + status = Beckham. If it’s who you’d rather have in a modern PL team right now = Bruno (narrowly). The 🔴✨ likely nods to United colors. What do you think

Which of the two is the bigger Premier League player? 🔴✨

Premier League Career (ongoing): Explosive since 2020 — consistently 15-20+ G/A seasons, already matching Beckham’s total in far fewer games. • Impact: Game-changer for United post-Ferguson. Captain, creator-in-chief, penalty/box threat. Elevates teammates with vision, shooting, and work-rate. Multiple Player of the Month awards, and recently linked to Player of the Season talks. en.wikipedia.org • Style: More goal-involved than Beckham (direct shots, dribbling, progressive passes). Thrives in a more chaotic, high-pressing modern game. • Trophies: Fewer league titles so far, but individual brilliance stands out in a weaker United side

Premier League Career: 265 apps, 62 goals, 80 assists (roughly that 142 G/A mark) for United mainly, plus later spells. • Trophies: 6x PL titles, huge part of the 1999 Treble side. Serial winner in the league’s golden era. • Impact: Redefined the right-winger/central-mid role with crossing, set-pieces, and vision. Global superstar who helped grow the PL worldwide. “Bigger” in cultural sense — fashion, brand, Hollywood. • Peak: Late 90s/early 2000s — consistent excellence, leadership, and clutch moments (e.g., free-kicks, long-range passes). He’s the one kids grew up idolizing as the PL face alongside figures like Giggs/Scholes

GK: Jordan Pickford (over David James) • RB: Reece James (over Gary Neville) • CB: Rio Ferdinand • CB: John Terry (over John Stones) • LB: Ashley Cole (over Nico O’Reilly) • RM/R: David Beckham (over Bukayo Saka) • CM: Frank Lampard (over Declan Rice) • CM: Steven Gerrard (over Jude Bellingham) • LM/L: Joe Cole (over Anthony Gordon) • ST: Wayne Rooney • ST: Harry Kane (over Michael Owen) Most of these are very defensible — especially the defense and midfield picks, where the 2006 “Golden Generation” core (Ferdinand, Terry, Cole, Lampard, Gerrard, Rooney) was at or near its peak. Pickford is a solid modern keeper, Reece James is elite when fit, and Kane edges Owen in overall career impact and consistency. givemesport.com Why Beckham > Saka feels like the outlier Beckham in 2006 was still a phenomenal player — iconic crosses, dead-ball mastery, leadership, and work rate. But Saka (as of 2026 context) is in his prime, ridiculously consistent, two-footed, excellent defensively, and a bigger overall threat in open play. He’s been England’s standout performer in recent major tournaments, with elite dribbling, end product, and big-game mentality. Beckham’s set-pieces were world-class, but Saka’s all-around game and durability give him the edge in a combined XI. facebook.com Terry is understandably biased toward his era (and himself), which is part of the fun. But if we’re being objective about prime/peak form for a hypothetical team, Saka slots in on the right. The rest is pretty spot-on for a nostalgia-heavy but strong side. givemesport.com What do you think was the wrong pick?

John Terry picks his combined XI from the 2006 and 2026 England teams. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿👏 And he's absolutely SPOT ON apart from ONE pick. 🤔❌ Which do you think he got wrong?

Milan’s clean-out: Yesterday (May 25, 2026), the club sacked Massimiliano Allegri, CEO Giorgio Furlani, sporting director Igli Tare, and technical director Geoffrey Moncada after a late-season collapse. They finished 5th in Serie A — qualifying for Europa League but missing Champions League — which the owners called an “unequivocal failure.” cbssports.com • Iraola’s situation: He just left Bournemouth after a strong season (Europa League qualification). He’s a free agent and has been linked with Crystal Palace, Bayer Leverkusen, and others. Milan see his high-pressing, attacking style as a potential fit for a rebuild. talksport.com Zlatan Ibrahimović is reportedly leading the managerial search, and Iraola is now firmly on their shortlist. Things could move fast given his availability and existing connections (e.g., via Jorge Mendes). It’ll be interesting to see if Milan can land him —

Decision primarily with Diomande — He’s weighing project, playing time, contract, and manager fit between Anfield and Parc des Princes. • Leipzig have offered him a new contract but are open to a big sale if the price is met. • Liverpool see him as a high-priority attacking reinforcement (often linked as a potential long-term Mohamed Salah successor, given his pace, dribbling, two-footed ability, and output: 13G + 9A this season). tntsports.co.uk • If Diomande chooses PSG, Liverpool have Bradley Barcola (PSG) high on their shortlist as an alternative. Barcola has been linked with Liverpool before, and some reports suggest he’d be receptive. liverpoolfc.com This is very much live and fluid right now — no done deal, and the player’s choice will be decisive. Leipzig aren’t desperate to sell but won’t stand in the way of a monster bid. @louisgalman07 Exciting window shaping up for Liverpool’s attack

Exactly 8 years ago today—May 26, 2018—Cristiano Ronaldo played his final match for Real Madrid in the UEFA Champions League Final against Liverpool in Kyiv. Real won 3-1, securing La Décima… wait, no, their third straight Champions League title. Ronaldo didn’t score that night, but he was there for the trophy lift, the celebrations, and the end of an era. m.allfootballapp.com He left with an insane record: 450 goals in 438 games, 4 Champions Leagues, 2 La Ligas, and basically rewriting the club’s history books. That night marked the close of one of the greatest chapters in football. en.wikipedia.org The goodbye felt abrupt (that post-match interview hit different), but what a way to go out—on top, as a champion.

@FabrizioRomano Tottenham avoided relegation on the final day of the 2025/26 Premier League season, and James Maddison is giving Roberto De Zerbi major credit for it. mirror.co.uk Maddison (who missed most of the season with a

⚪️🫱🏻‍🫲🏼 James Maddison: “Without De Zerbi coming in, there is a serious possibility we would have went down”. “He switched the mindset. The passion he shows every single day rubbed off on the players and I think you could see that in the last few performances”, told Sky.

De Zerbi took over in March when Spurs were in deep trouble. He got 11 points from his first 7 games (including key wins/draws that helped them finish 17th with 41 points), steadied the ship, and they survived with a 1-0 win over Everton on the last day thanks to João Palhinha. @i Fans and pundits are reacting positively to Maddison’s comments — it’s rare for a player to be this blunt about how close they were to the drop without the new manager’s intensity and work ethic (he’s known for long hours on the training ground). De Zerbi has a 5-year deal now, and with no European football next season, there’s talk of a proper rebuild and push higher up the table. mirror.co.uk Classic “new manager bounce” done right — pa

Andoni Iraola (recently left Bournemouth after a strong Europa League-qualifying season) — many reports say Milan have already approached his representatives. He’s seen as a high-pressing, modern, attacking coach. facebook.com • Xavi Hernández — firmly on the shortlist alongside Iraola. Milan like his tactical quality, possession/attacking style, and especially his track record of trusting and developing young players (think Lamine Yamal, Pau Cubarsí, Gavi, etc. at Barcelona). This fits their long-term project focus. goal.com Other names like Thiago Motta, Vincenzo Italiano, Unai Emery, and Mark van Bommel have also been floated, with Ibrahimović reportedly wanting a “Fabregas-type” progressive coach. sempremilan.com Xavi has been out of work since leaving Barcelona in 2024, and this would be a big move for him — Serie A rebuild with big resources and Ibrahimović’s backing. Whether it happens depends on negotiations (Iraola has interest from elsewhere like Crystal Palace and Leverkusen too). Exciting times for Milan fans — a clear shift away

🚨💣 𝐄𝐗𝐂𝐋𝐔𝐒𝐈𝐕𝐄: Along with Andoni Iraola, Xavi is one of Milan’s top targets for their manager position. Club executives are working side by side with Zlatan Ibrahimovic to find replacements for Massimiliano Allegri and Xavi's name came up in their minds. They view Xavi as a very good tactician and appreciate his trust in the youngsters for the team’s long-term project.

Background: Maresca and Fernández worked together at Chelsea (Maresca managed there in 2024-early 2026 before his reported departure). Their relationship is described as close and trusting. Fernández has spoken positively about Maresca in the past. facebook.com • City’s situation: They’re planning for life after Pep, with Bernardo Silva leaving and uncertainty around Rodri. Fernández is seen as a high-quality, versatile midfielder option (can play deeper or more advanced). Interest is at an advanced early stage with behind-the-scenes talks reportedly underway. nytimes.com • Fernández’s side: He’s under a long contract at Chelsea (until 2032), but there have been reports of stalled contract talks, ambition for consistent Champions League football, and openness to a big move. Other clubs like Real Madrid are also mentioned in the mix. ca.sports.yahoo.com

🚨 Manchester City have made Enzo Fernández one of their TOP targets for the summer transfer window. 🔵 Enzo Maresca is a huge admirer of his former player and the Chelsea and Argentina midfielder could be open to a reunion with the Italian coach. 👀 (Source: Fichajes 🇪🇸)

Fichajes (the Spanish outlet cited) is lower-tier for breaking news, but this story aligns with credible reporting from Sky Germany, The Athletic, GOAL, Metro, and others over the past few days. It’s not just one outlet. facebook.com Bottom line: It’s a serious rumor with legs because of the Maresca connection and City’s midfield needs, but nothing is done yet. Chelsea would demand a huge fee (likely £100m+ range given his profile and past record transfer), and any deal would depend on Maresca’s confirmation, City’s budget, and whether Fernández forces the issue. Classic summer window speculation — watch for updates from reliable journalists like Fabrizio Romano or Plettenberg. What do you think — would this be a smart mov
