The Guardian FootballJulián Álvarez’s extra-time stunner sinks 10-man Switzerland to send Argentina into semi-finals
Did anyone think they would do it the easy way? If Argentina are to win this World Cup they will only get there via rollercoaster. A seemingly straightforward night’s work against Switzerland became their tournament in microcosm, threatening to squander it all before finding salvation through a moment of unfettered genius. Just this once it did not come from the left boot of Lionel Messi. In fact, with his side labouring towards penalties midway through the second period of extra time, Messi had just been denied by Gregor Kobel when the decisive thunderbolt was unleashed. Switzerland were unable to clear their lines and the recently introduced José López, taking possession on the left, passed backwards to a hitherto anonymous Julián Álvarez. Continue reading...

The Guardian FootballJude Bellingham unimpressed after Tuchel criticises ‘lucky’ England’s performance
Head coach says team were ‘sloppy’ and ‘not fast enough’ Two-goal Bellingham responds: ‘Yeah, well, whatever’ Jude Bellingham hit back at criticism of England’s performance from Thomas Tuchel after his two goals against Norway booked a place in the World Cup semi-finals for the fourth time. A virtuoso display from the Real Madrid star inspired a comeback victory after Andreas Schjelderup had given Norway the lead, with Bellingham scoring a controversial equaliser just before half-time. Replays appeared to show a Norway goal-kick hitting an overhead cable in the buildup, although Fifa released a statement saying a sensor in the ball showed no evidence it had touched. Norway’s coach, Ståle Solbakken, said it was “pretty clear” it had . Continue reading...
The Guardian FootballFootball without faith is nothing so Infantino is playing with fire at World Cup | Jonathan Wilson
Swirl around Fifa’s machinations and about big team and big name bias creates doubt – and that’s a dangerous game About 25 years ago, I was in the office of a sports newspaper in Bucharest on a Saturday afternoon following the Premier League games with some local journalists. With about five minutes to go, Chelsea trailed 2-1. Somebody had backed Chelsea to lose and brandished his betting slip. Chelsea scored. A couple of minutes later, they scored again. The reporter tossed the slip away. I saw drama; the Romanians saw a fix. This is why integrity and the perception of integrity are so important. I don’t think that game was fixed. There is no evidence whatsoever it was fixed. Given the salaries players earn and the sophistication of the early warning system for unusual betting patterns, there is little chance Premier League games are fixed. But if you grew up in the declining days of the Ceauşescu era or the wild west that followed, when match-fixing wasn’t so much an open secret as a simple fact, cynicism is the natural response.

The Guardian Football‘A brilliant reprieve, a unifying force’: America falls in love with World Cup
Packed stadiums, record TV viewers, and an outlet for joyous multiculturalism under attack by Trump – the tournament has taken the US by storm There were plenty of reasons to believe the US hosting the World Cup would be a disaster. In the year and a half leading up to the kick-off, Donald Trump had threatened to annex tournament co-host Canada, and to invade the other co-host, Mexico; he was at war with one of the tournament’s participants, Iran. Harsh travel restrictions were preventing fans from Senegal, Ivory Coast and Haiti from getting visas. Ticket prices were outrageous. Hotels weren’t filling up as promised. Fifa was introducing “hydration breaks” during games, allowing TV commercials in what appeared to be a shameless cash grab that threatened the flow of play. Continue reading...

The Guardian FootballThe ad machine: how David Beckham conquered America
The former England midfielder is everywhere at this World Cup, having reached a popularity in the US other Britons have rarely achieved Watch US television for any length of time and the endless spume of adverts will eventually separate into three distinct types. The first are adverts for units of generic food-substance, each one essentially the same hand-sized grenade of glossy and salted microminced matter; but each also with its own industrialised repertoire of colours and noise and packaging required to dress it as a distinct genre of actual human food. Try the delicious new Flame Sauced Philly Cheese Taco Wing Waffle Dog Deep Dish MegaDeath Burger Grenade-Shaped Eat Thing. You won’t be disappointed. Or you will be. Whatever. Continue reading...
