Santos de Guapiles Overview

Scotland are officially on the hunt for a new manager after Steve Clarke stepped down from his position following a disappointing group-stage exit at the 2026 World Cup. It has been reported that former Tottenham and Nottingham Forest manager Ange Postecoglou is now in the frame to replace Clarke, nine months after his departure from the City Ground.

Four nations made debuts at the 2026 World Cup, with Cape Verde, Curacao, Jordan and Uzbekistan gracing the grandest stage in international football for the first time. It is the tournament with the most newcomers since 2006 and Cape Verde have achieved the feat of ending a 16-year wait for a debutant to reach the knockout stages, with the African nation to face Lionel Messi's Argentina on Friday.

Carlo Ancelotti's son Davide has found himself at the centre of a storm following a viral clip from the World Cup. Footage appearing to show the Brazil national team assistant coach reacting negatively to Neymar's introduction during the 3-0 victory over Scotland has sparked a wave of social media backlash.

The Brazilian FA (CBF) has taken the extraordinary step of filing a formal complaint to FIFA following refereeing controversy in their World Cup clash with Scotland. Despite securing a 3-0 victory, the Selecao hierarchy are furious over a disallowed Vinicius Jr goal and are demanding that the match official never takes charge of their games again.
