    'Whatever' - Jude & Tuchel tension isn't a problem... for now

    Watch the video again and you can almost see Jude Bellingham loading his answer as the interviewer navigates the question. The Real Madrid superstar had just been informed that his manager, Thomas Tuchel, was "disappointed" with England's performance following a gusty 2-1 win over Norway in Miami on Saturday night. Bellingham's remarkably clippable response? "Whatever."

    Mbappe can silence Spanish critics in semi-final showdown

    Kylian Mbappe will be relishing France's World Cup semi-final clash with Spain more than most. Not only is this the opportunity to exact revenge for the painful defeat to La Roja at the same stage of Euro 2024 two years ago, but the attacker also has the chance to deliver a rebuttal to his vociferous critics back in Madrid after a tumultuous season at club level. What's more, he comes into the showdown in the form of his life.

    10 stars of the World Cup set for summer transfers

    The World Cup has a remarkable ability to completely alter the course of careers. There is no grander stage in the game, meaning impressive performances garner the kind of acclaim and attention that is simply not possible in any other arena. Consequently, the transfer market tends to go wild in and around World Cups, as clubs scramble to snap up previously hidden gems or suddenly established stars.

    Beating England the only thing missing from Messi's career

    Before the start of Lionel Messi's sixth World Cup, the common consensus was that he'd seen and done it all. After effectively completing football four years ago in Qatar, there was even a fear that there was no way he could, at 39 years of age, add to his legacy - only slightly sully it. Messi, though, has spent his entire career making a mockery out of conventional wisdom and has actually managed to solidify his status as the greatest player of all time by becoming the World Cup's all-time leading goal-scorer and assist-maker during Argentina's run to the semi-finals.

  4. Rodri Pedri Spain GFXGOAL
    AnalysisSpain

    Rodri's back to his best - but why is Pedri playing so poorly?

    When Spain's starting line-up for last week's World Cup quarter-final against Belgium was revealed roughly an hour before kick-off, the name of Pedri was immediately conspicuous by its absence. The natural assumption among pundits and supporters was that he was carrying a niggle - which tells you everything you need to know about just how highly the Barcelona star is rated.

    Garnacho & the top 10 worst signings of Chelsea's BlueCo era

    Four years into BlueCo's so-called 'project' at Stamford Bridge, Chelsea have spent some £1.9 BILLION ($2.5bn) on new signings, and a haphazard approach to the transfer market means there have been some absolute clangers among them. For every success story, like Cole Palmer or Moises Caicedo, there have been multiple monumental and costly failures.

    Arsenal beat Barca, Man Utd & Bayern to sign highly-rated Baum

    Lisa Baum has been unveiled as Arsenal's fifth summer signing, joining for a significant six-figure fee that is reportedly a club-record sale for RB Leipzig. The 19-year-old had been linked with most of Europe's elite, including Barcelona, Lyon, Bayern Munich and Manchester United, but will instead reinforce the wide areas at Arsenal after the departure of Lionesses star Beth Mead.

    Keating joins Liverpool after rejecting new Man City contract

    Lionesses goalkeeper Khiara Keating has joined Liverpool after rejecting a new contract at Manchester City. The England international found game time hard to come by last year, leading to her being left out of some of Sarina Wiegman's squads. With the Women's World Cup less than a year away, she has now chosen to move on from the club she joined aged 11 to sign for the Reds.
