The Guardian FootballBrazil fans were waiting for Vinícius Júnior to be their hero. He’s arrived
Vini Jr has been a star at Real Madrid for a long time. Now he is truly delivering for his country at a World Cup “I’m so happy to see you happy. Living a dream. It’s Brazil,” wrote Vinícius Júnior on Instagram after Brazil’s 3-0 win against Scotland . In the accompanying photograph he was holding his arms open – in the style of his Real Madrid teammate Jude Bellingham. When Bellingham pulled out that pose after scoring for England at Euro 2024, he famously shouted: “ Who else? ” When Vinícius found the net it felt more like he was saying: “I’ve arrived.” It took a while. Vinícius won his first cap in a 1-0 friendly defeat by Peru in 2019 and was mostly on the bench when Brazil hosted the Copa América in 2021. He didn’t score his first international goal until his 19th appearance – a 4-0 thrashing of Chile in a World Cup qualifier in 2022.

The Guardian FootballKane and Bellingham produce the goods but England need others to step up
Pair’s goals saw off Panama but Tuchel has problems at right-back and on flanks for last-32 tie against the DRC England will head to Atlanta with problems in central defence, right-backs dropping like flies, weary legs in midfield and hope that everything will turn out fine if the Harry and Jude show continues to thrill. For Thomas Tuchel, it is “a moment to keep believe and pushing”. Did England convince while securing top spot in Group L by beating Panama 2-0 in New Jersey? Not at all, but for a team looking to keep spirits high all that matters for now is they have a winnable last-32 tie against the Democratic Republic of the Congo on Wednesday and will be a threat against anyone if Jude Bellingham and Harry Kane continue to produce.

We won and the rest is history: another title for the club after beating Liverpool in the final. I bring up this moment to highlight how important coaches are to a team’s journey and how decisive they are in a player’s career, doing work that often goes unseen by the public. Continue reading...
