The Guardian Football‘An artist who captures hearts’: France is falling in love with Michael Olise
Bayern Munich forward is yet to score at this World Cup, but his style and assists are bringing joy back home By Get French Football News “Go on, feel free to find the issues,” Didier Deschamps challenged journalists after his team sliced Sweden apart to qualify for the last 16 . “Not everything should be rose-tinted, we shouldn’t get carried away,” he said. A day on from the match, though, there have been few convincing responses to the France manager’s plea for criticism. If anything, fans have been unanimous in their praise. The flaws in this France team are difficult to spot. Aside from a few defensive lapses, none of which the Sweden attack could exploit, France turned in a performance that consolidated their status as tournament favourites. Even if there had been problems at the back, the overriding sentiment is that France’s free-flowing attacking quartet more than make up for any of their teammates’ shortcomings. Continue reading...

The Guardian FootballEvery World Cup needs a cult hero: 2026 has given us touchline dreamboat Sebastián Beccacece
The Ecuador manager is a beautifully manicured buzz of energy with Bolivarian liberation in his heart. The tournament is all the better for him An underrated pleasure for spectators at every World Cup is observing the managers. If club football, an increasingly regimented domain of set pieces and systems, is all about structure, international soccer is much more a matter of style – and at this tournament, the theatrics of the sport’s touchline strutters have been rich with emotion and figurative power. Didier Deschamps patrols his technical area with the watchful pride of an outer-arrondissement charcutier . Luis de la Fuente is a veteran wealth manager at Banco Santander. Japan’s Hajime Moriyasu is about to go postal at his dreary office job in a Kiyoshi Kurosawa film. Socceroos coach Tony Popovic looks like he’s on his way to MC a wedding at Sydney’s King Tomislav Croatian Club . And Carlo Ancelotti is … well, he’s just Carlo Ancelotti, a man with Champions League-winning eyebrows whose fierce allegiance to his three-piece suit, even through the worst of a North American summer, suggests he’s somehow in command of his own climate.

The Guardian FootballThe World Cup’s two competing realities: brilliant action and off-field injustices | Jonathan Wilson
All of the critiques of this tournament have proven valid and warranted, even as the action on the pitch has delighted us • Predict the winner | Daily podcast | Download our app The football has taken over. Ultimately, that’s what always happens. Football is an incredibly resilient sport, the World Cup an incredibly resilient tournament. It has withstood authoritarian leaders and corruption scandals, the horrific exploitation of migrant workers and military dictatorships, and it looks as though it will survive sky-high ticket prices and immigration policies that make a mockery of Gianni Infantino’s claim that this is the most inclusive World Cup of all time. This is not to say that those are not major issues. The situation with Iran has been unique, but the treatment of the team has been outrageous . That they could pass through the tournament unbeaten, eliminated only because of a last-gasp Austria goal against Algeria, is remarkable enough in itself, but they could surely have achieved far more had they not had to switch training camps, been allowed their full backroom staff and been able to travel to games without punitive restrictions.
