The Guardian FootballWedding parties, the Hand of God and Lineker – The Big One invades summer like nothing else | Matthew Engel
Forget the Olympic and the rest. People across the planet remember where they were for their biggest World Cup matches The connection between King Lear and the 1966 World Cup is little known, mainly because it affected very few people at a now defunct boarding school. I had been a surprise selection to act in the school’s production of Lear (yes, I played the Fool; yes, I was typecast). The day before one of the performances I fell and twisted something and was a doubtful starter for a part that required a lot of dashing about. Matron prescribed sleeping pills. That night England were playing Mexico in that now-sanctified tournament – almost a must-win after a goalless start against Uruguay. I went to bed early, tucked my transistor under the pillow to hear the commentary, went spark out and only heard the result next morning: England 2 Mexico 0. The rest is national history.

The Guardian FootballDR Congo bring style and pride to the World Cup after wholesome welcome
Brutally tough return to tournament awaits, but the stature of opposition feels less important than the fact of being here at all It was an arrival worth more than half a century of waiting. The Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) players strolled into the arrivals hall of George Bush airport on Thursday kitted out in tuxedo suits and leopard-print sashes, channelling La Sape vogue for snappy dress that swept Kinshasa in the 1970s. A throng of local volunteers cheered them through and, in a climate where little can be taken for granted, their welcome to Houston was a genuinely wholesome moment. The DRC’s squad looked appreciative although perhaps they were simply relieved to see new faces. The joy of a first World Cup since 1974, when they competed as Zaire, has been complicated by the Ebola outbreak in their homeland and a 21-day isolation period imposed by the US authorities. The players and staff formed a bubble in Belgium, playing one friendly against Denmark and being forced to cancel a scheduled meeting with Chile in Cádiz. Continue reading...

The Guardian Premier LeagueThe Guardian view on a gripping season of British football: the best may be yet to come | Editorial
England and Scotland will both compete in a men’s World Cup this month for the first time this century. For both nations there are reasons to believe The agonising climax to Saturday’s men’s Champions League final in Budapest will haunt the imaginations of Arsenal supporters for years to come. Penalty shootouts – a sporting version of Russian roulette – are a brutal way to lose a football match, with hope turning to despair in the time that it takes to fire a ball over a crossbar. The England men’s team, of course, used to know this only too well, famously leading Gareth Southgate to use a psychologist to address players’ nerves. A triumphant Sunday parade allowed the Premier League champions to reflect on what they did achieve, rather than what they didn’t. There was further consolation in the presence of the Arsenal women’s team bus, as the massed hordes acclaimed their achievement in winning the inaugural Fifa Women’s Champions Cup and reaching the Uefa Champions League semi-final. They remain the only English women’s team to have won the latter. Continue reading...
The Guardian — Champions LeagueFootball Daily | Arsenal feel the love after Arteta’s Bigger Cup masterplan falls short
Sign up now! Sign up now! Sign up now? Sign up now! In recent weeks, there has been endless discourse on why so many people hate Arsenal. Yet, yesterday’s parade in the cultural melting pot of north London proved that plenty of people out there really, really, really love them. Due in no small part to the fact that he couldn’t head his penalty and none of his teammates were blocking the PSG goalkeeper, Gabriel Magalhães’ miss from the spot meant the Gunners came up agonisingly short in their latest bid to win Bigger Cup. That didn’t stop the thick end of a million Arsenal fans of every age, stripe and shade from making the pilgrimage to Islington to worship their vanquished heroes. With the Premier League trophy already in the bag, the general mood ratio of unbridled joy to crushing disappointment was about 75-25, a statistic many will recognise as being almost identical to the previous evening’s possession stats in the Puskas Arena.

The Guardian Premier LeagueJames Milner, Premier League’s appearance record holder, retires aged 40
Last of his 24 Premier League seasons was at Brighton ‘I could never have dreamed of the journey,’ he says James Milner has finally pulled down the curtain on a distinguished, record-breaking and extraordinary playing career. It involved the highly versatile 40-year-old midfielder spending 24 seasons in the Premier League and winning 61 England caps as he traversed a road that carried him from Leeds to Brighton with stops at Newcastle, Aston Villa, Manchester City and Liverpool along the way. In February, Milner, who also had a short loan at Swindon, broke the Premier League appearance record while playing for Brighton against Brentford. He ends his career having clocked up 658 top-tier games for six clubs and represented England in four major tournaments. Continue reading...
The Guardian — Champions LeagueArsenal progress under Arteta is clear but flaws still remain for the ultimate glory
Penalty misses from pre-season were repeated in Budapest while summer signings could help Gunners exert more control in biggest games When it was finally over – on the night and for the club season, devastation the overriding emotion for everyone connected to Arsenal – Declan Rice wanted to go back to make the point. To last July and his club’s first pre-season game, against Milan in Singapore. Arsenal won 1-0 before the teams agreed to stage a penalty shootout. The idea was clear: to practise in front of a crowd because you just cannot replicate this particular aspect of the game on the training ground. Arsenal lost. Continue reading...

The Guardian — Champions LeagueLewis-Skelly dazzles but Arsenal endure cruel ending to thrillingly intense final | Barney Ronay
Some struggle to love Mikel Arteta’s side but they went toe-to-toe with PSG in a gruelling, high-grade contest It always seemed likely, somehow, that Arsenal’s season was going to come down to Gabriel Magalhães and a set piece. Just not, ideally, like this. Football does love a note of dramatic irony. And while Arsenal may have lost this Champions League final on penalties to Paris Saint-Germain after three brain-mangling hours of unresolved jab, smother and counter-thrust in the humid green bowl of the Puskas Arena, this was also a brilliant, high-grade, dizzyingly tense game of football.
