The Guardian FootballFive breakout World Cup stars who could prosper in the Premier League | David Pleat
Alex Freeman has impressed from right-back while Eli Just is catching the eye with his body swerves and goal threat It is not difficult to see why this old head on young shoulders is destined for a big career. In a Morocco team conditioned to play first-time passes, he sets the tone with his instant decisions. Bouaddi is in essence the deepest of the midfield three and he not only plays quickly but often finds a colleague in a more forward position. Strong on the ball, he can intercept from his central position and looks to continue his involvement after playing a pass. Bouaddi can tackle and shield a ball and finds space naturally. With his height, at 6ft 1in, technique and football intelligence, he will not be a Lille player for much longer. When Bouaddi gets forward he should try to be more positive – to be a more complete player he will need to have a few goals on his CV – but he is a real talent. Continue reading...

The Guardian FootballWhich footballers have refused to celebrate a goal against another country? | The Knowledge
Plus: is Dick Advocaat unique among coaches, long waits between World Cups and Dave Beasant revisionism Mail us with your all of your questions and answers “Sweden’s Yasin Ayari has a Tunisian father and chose not to celebrate his first goal against Tunisia (he couldn’t resist celebrating when he scored later, though). Declan Rice did something similar after scoring against the Republic of Ireland in 2024, but what is the earliest example of a player not celebrating a goal at international level because of a connection to the opposition?” asks Michael Pilcher. “I remember Breel Embolo, the Swiss international born in Cameroon, not celebrating after scoring against Cameroon at the 2022 World Cup,” replies Filippo Varanini.

The Guardian FootballBudimir rescues Croatia with winner against Panama on Modric’s landmark day
When it was all done, and Ante Budimir had rescued Croatia’s World Cup campaign with the lone goal in a tight match, 25 Croats donned black T-shirts over their match kits and warm-up tops. “Infinite Legacy,” read the T-shirts, printed with the number 200 and an image of Luka Modric. He was the 26th man, but he had quickly taken his T-shirt off after his teammates had flung him in the air a few times. Continue reading...
The Guardian FootballIngenuity absent for turgid England as they fail to break down Ghana’s yellow wall | Jacob Steinberg
Thomas Tuchel experiences an England tradition – a difficult second game at a major tournament There were times when this looked like the goalless draw with the USA at the 2022 World Cup, or the misshapen stalemate with Denmark in Frankfurt two years ago. For Thomas Tuchel, the worry was that the more passive patterns from the Gareth Southgate era had not quite been driven out of this team yet. The German was watching an England tradition, the difficult second tournament game, and as the hour approached it was possible to see Tuchel becoming increasingly agitated on the touchline. England were predictable and turgid for long spells against a determined Ghana side who earned their point with an exhibition of purest Queiroz-ball. There was no caustic half-time interview from Anthony Barry, no stunning second-half surge. Instead, after the freewheeling attacking play that saw off Croatia last week, this felt familiar. This felt anxious. In the cramped football and sideways passing, this felt more England. They created nothing until a late flurry of chances, and when it was over it was tempting to wonder if the reaction from the crowd would have been more negative if it had been Southgate rather than Tuchel standing in the technical area at Boston Stadium.

The Guardian FootballEngland given reality check by stubborn Ghana to leave group in the balance
It was a talking point beforehand in the England dressing room, Harry Kane bringing it up; a message with it, too. At each of the previous three tournaments, the team had spluttered in game two. The roll call of irritation took in the draws against Scotland and Denmark at the European Championship – either side of the draw against the United States at the last World Cup. Must do better this time, was the gist of what Kane said. England did not do better. The idea was to maintain the momentum they had generated in the 4-2 win over Croatia in their opening Group L tie but there was no surge here. Only stodge. England laboured to create against an ultra-defensive Ghana team, their only pulse-quickening moments coming towards the very end. Continue reading...
