@TouchlineX A poll conducted by a Madrid-based Spanish journal concludes that the entire world is supporting Spain

🚨 𝗡𝗘𝗪: A poll done by the Spanish journal, Marca, has revealed that most of the world is supporting Spain. Spain is supported more on every continent, according to the 20,000+ voters.

@TouchlineX Leaving the greatest player in football history with breathing room in his final World Cup match because you're worried about "tactical spacing" is a level of confidence I can only admire. May God protect Spain's center backs on Sunday

🚨💣 𝐄𝐗𝐂𝐋𝐔𝐒𝐈𝐕𝐄: Luis de la Fuente has decided not to emphasize many players personally marking Messi in the World Cup final. He thinks when this happens, spaces open up for the rest of the Argentinian players, like it happened with England in their semifinal against Argentina. He thinks it's a calculated decision and thinks the benefits outweigh the risks.

@DeadlineDayLive Beşiktaş signing Leandro Trossard earlier this summer and now adding Mohamed Salah to their forward line is insane ambition. They are completely building a squad capable of going toe-to-toe with Galatasaray and Fenerbahçe

🚨 Mohamed Salah has reached a full agreement with Beşiktaş and has accepted the club's proposal. 🇪🇬🦅 A one-year contract with an option to extend has been agreed, with Beşiktaş now aiming to finalise the move early next week by completing Salah's medical and signing. ✍️ (Source: @sachatavolieri)

@FabrizioRomano Manchester United letting this deal completely collapse while desperately needing an elite defensive midfielder is such a classic transfer window move. 😭 Securing him until 2031 is an astronomical win for Atalanta. The price tag just doubled for anyone trying next summe

🚨 BREAKING: Éderson signs new deal at Atalanta until June 2031. ⚫️🔵🇧🇷 Confirms stories on Man United revisiting deal later this summer were not true; as the deal collapsed exactly one week ago. Atalanta show trust in Éderson and open new cycle with him staying.

@TouchlineX The Golden Boot, Golden Ball, and the actual World Cup trophy are all essentially being decided in one final match. Sunday is about to be the most high-stakes game of football in history. If Messi pulls this off, the GOAT debate is closed and locked forever

🚨 𝗡𝗘𝗪: Lionel Messi is in the race for every major individual attacking award at the 2026 World Cup. • Goals: Messi 8 — Mbappe 8 • Assists: Olise 5 — Messi 4 • Successful dribbles: Messi 24 — Yamal 22

@DeadlineDayLive Real Madrid signed the most lethal forward in the world just for Mourinho to bench him for Gonzalo García in pre-season because of "tactical profiles." 😭 This second stint is going to be pure cinema

🚨 José Mourinho does not see Kylian Mbappé as a natural No.9 striker. He has therefore blocked Gonzalo García's exit from Real Madrid. Mourinho also deems Endrick as a winger or second striker, making García his only traditional striker. (Source: AS)

@TransferNews This only makes sense if Newcastle are preparing for a massive departure of their own. Is Anthony Gordon actually leaving? Because otherwise, paying £70m+ for Martinelli while managing PSR constraints seems wild for a position they don't strictly need to break the bank for

Newcastle United are considering a move for Arsenal winger Gabriel Martinelli this summer. The Magpies are exploring the market for attacking reinforcements, with the Brazilian emerging as one of their potential targets. ⚫⚪

@DeadlineDayLive Players actually rejecting Real Madrid in 2026? Nature is healing. 😭 Usually, Florentino Perez gets whoever he wants with a single phone call. Olise deciding to stay loyal to the Bayern project after just arriving shows his mindset is elite

🚨 Real Madrid have been dealt a blow in their pursuit of Michael Olise. The Bayern Munich winger has reportedly informed the Bundesliga champions that he wants to remain part of the project in Bavaria. His decision has cooled speculation linking him with a move to the Santiago Bernabéu. (Source: @SkySportDE)

@FabrizioRomano Rejecting two Champions League clubs just because you want to play under Marco Silva at Benfica is an insane level of manager pull. If Silva can manage his attitude, Benfica just landed a brutally clinical striker for the season

🚨🔴⚪️ Jhon Durán to Benfica, here we go! Deal done for Colombian forward to join on loan with buy option clause not mandatory. Durán rejected two UCL clubs as he prefers Benfica project/chance to play under Marco Silva. Salary shared with Al Nassr, medical this weekend. 🦅🇨🇴

@ESPNFC We have seen Barcelona pressure and burn out every single "next Messi" they’ve produced over the last decade. Let Lamine Yamal just be Lamine Yamal without adding the weight of football's greatest ever player to his shoulders

Barcelona President Joan Laporta says Lamine Yamal is ready to take the torch from Lionel Messi 😅👀

@Footballtweet @RMCsport Bro risked his spine for a semi-final exit and now they want him to lock in for an England vs France second-string friendly.😭 Take him out of the stadium immediately

🚨 𝗜𝗡𝗖𝗥𝗘𝗗𝗜𝗕𝗟𝗘: William Saliba played at the World Cup with a fractured back. 🤕😱 🗞️ @RMCSport

@FabrizioRomano Monaco spends years scouting and developing elite young talents just for PSG to treat them like a personal supermarket the second they have a good season. Ligue 1 is literally just a feeder league for Paris at this point

🚨🔴🔵 Paris Saint-Germain remain in active talks to sign Maghnes Akliouche from AS Monaco, deal proceeding. Details to be sorted but Akliouche wants the move, as revealed here in June. Talks underway and PSG, confident. 🇫🇷

@ESPNUK FIFA is definitely going to hand out a fine, but let’s be real—AFA will gladly pay £20k–£50k for this. They did the exact same thing in 2014. To the players, getting one over England in a World Cup semi-final and holding that banner is worth any slap on the wrist FIFA gives them

@DeadlineDayLive Playing through a literal fractured back at a World Cup while taking daily painkillers is some absolute warrior behavior, but this is terrifying. We’ve seen what prioritizing a national tournament over long-term health did to players like Samuel Umtiti

🚨 𝗜𝗡𝗖𝗥𝗘𝗗𝗜𝗕𝗟𝗘: William Saliba played at the World Cup with a fractured back. 🤕😱 (Source: RMC Sport)

@TouchlineX @JacobsBen Tying down our Player of the Season until 2031 is an absolute masterclass by Richard Hughes After losing Trent and Konate to Madrid, making sure Szoboszlai didn't follow them was massive. He carried the midfield through a tough transition last season

🚨 𝗝𝗨𝗦𝗧 𝗜𝗡: Dominik Szoboszlai has signed a new five-year contract at Liverpool. — @JacobsBen

@TouchlineX This is actually a massive factor. Spain’s high-energy, high-pressing game is going to drain their energy twice as fast in that MetLife heat if they aren't acclimated. Argentina’s squad thrives in gritty, physical battle conditions

🚨 𝗗𝗜𝗗 𝗬𝗢𝗨 𝗞𝗡𝗢𝗪: Spain has played 6/7 World Cup matches in indoor stadiums. Their only match at an outdoor stadium was in Guadalajara, Mexico, just after a storm, meaning it wasn't hot. The MetLife Stadium is an outdoor venue, and New York has been a complete sauna recently, causing speculation on how the Spanish players will feel.

@DeadlineDayLive Pep realizing he’d have to explain his tactical overthinking to the English press after a 0-0 draw in the Nations League and immediately calling City to renew his contract is so real 😭😂

🚨 Pep Guardiola had reached a verbal agreement to become England's next manager in 2024 and was the FA's preferred choice for the role. However, Guardiola ultimately decided to remain at Manchester City, forcing the FA to turn their attention to Thomas Tuchel instead. (Source: @TheAthleticFC).

@TouchlineX Top scorer and basically top assister at his 6th World Cup is ridiculous. He is playing against kids who grew up with his posters on their walls and he's still outclassing everyone

🚨 𝗥𝗘𝗠𝗜𝗡𝗗𝗘𝗥: Lionel Messi is 1 assist away from becoming the top assister (tied with Olise) from the 2026 World Cup. He is currently the top scorer as well (tied with Mbappe).

@TouchlineX Hitting the ears-out celebration on the tarmac before the final even starts is a highly dangerous level of confidence. If Argentina wins, this pic goes hard. If they lose, the opponent banter is going to be generational

🚨 𝗡𝗘𝗪: Enzo Fernandez on his way to New York to play the World Cup Final!

@FrankKhalidUK Alonso hasn’t even had his first press conference at Stamford Bridge and he’s already exiled half the defense

What’s your thoughts on the rumours of the 5 players Xabi Alonso does not want in the first team.
