Friendlies news

The USMNT fell short against Germany in their final pre-World Cup tune-up, but Mauricio Pochettino still saw signs of progress as Antonee Robinson delivered a stunning goal, Malik Tillman impressed in a deeper role, and Miles Robinson endured another difficult outing.

Record Germany cap-holder Lothar Matthäus was amused by the conditions in the US after the DFB side's final World Cup warm-up on Saturday night.

National goalkeeper Oliver Baumann (36) has opened up about his feelings, explaining that being demoted to second choice in the DFB squad was initially hard to take.

Antonee Robinson scored a screamer and the USMNT showed plenty of fight, but defensive lapses proved costly in a 2-1 loss to Germany.

Rafael Leão made an unnecessary and potentially costly mistake in Portugal's friendly against Chile on Saturday.

Antonee Robinson has built a reputation as one of the Premier League’s top left backs, but the USMNT defender showed he can be just as dangerous at the other end of the pitch. Robinson blasted a rocket past Germany goalkeeper Oliver Baumann to pull the Americans level at 1-1 - and somehow, his celebration may have been even better.

Germany forward Lennart Karl (18) has suffered a serious muscle injury while striking a shot on goal. The setback will rule him out of the World Cup in the USA, Canada and Mexico.

Canada’s final World Cup friendlies offered promise and concern, as Luc de Fougerolles rose, Ismaël Koné impressed and Cyle Larin’s goal drought deepened.

National team manager Julian Nagelsmann has outlined the injury suffered by Lennart Karl and clarified the rationale behind the surprise late call-up of Assan Ouedraogo.

Ouedraogo for Karl—would that have been a hot take? Not for Julian Nagelsmann, which begs the question: what on earth is wrong with the man? Or, for that matter, what are we even discussing here? A commentary.

England manager Thomas Tuchel has admitted to feeling worried and concerned after viewing a journalist's photograph of the playing surface ahead of his side's World Cup warm-up against New Zealand. However, the German tactician insisted that the newly relaid pitch at the Raymond James Stadium will not alter his pre-determined selection plans.

Brazil head coach Carlo Ancelotti remains optimistic that injured talisman Neymar will recover from a calf injury in time to feature at the 2026 World Cup. The Italian tactician confirmed that the 34-year-old forward is making excellent progress individually and will undergo a decisive medical scan on Monday before potentially rejoining full squad training next week.
