Paulista A2 Overview

Christophe Dugarry has fiercely criticised Didier Deschamps and the France national team following their semi-final defeat to Spain. The former Barcelona forward expressed extreme frustration over the terrible performance, feeling utterly deceived by the team's lack of attacking threat and fighting spirit during the deeply disappointing 2026 World Cup exit.

Thomas Tuchel threw away England's best chance of reaching their first World Cup final since 1966 as the Three Lions allowed Argentina to come from behind to triumph 2-1 in Atlanta on Wednesday. Tuchel's team selection initially looked set to pay off, as surprise selection Morgan Rogers crossed for Anthony Gordon to break the deadlock 10 minutes into the second half.

Every time Lionel Messi got near the ball, the crowd in Atlanta held its breath. It wouldn't take much to feel the room shift during the first hour or so of Argentina's clash with England, just a brief moment where the Argentinian icon drifted into enough space to maybe, perhaps, do something. As the game wore on, those moments became more tense. Down a goal late, the moments where the air left the crowd were less about anticipating magic and more about a potential reality setting in.
