The Guardian FootballWorld Cup and Ballon d’Or in reach as Harry Kane enters defining week of his career
The striker is driven by a sense of destiny but to be remembered as an all-time great outside England requires big-game performances Five days to win the Ballon d’Or. The way to do it: outshine Lionel Messi in Atlanta, then see off Kylian Mbappé or Lamine Yamal on Sunday. For Harry Kane, nothing will come without a fight. The England captain was doubted when he was a kid, back when the youth coaches at Tottenham wondered if it was worth keeping him, and he faces another seismic battle against Argentina on Wednesday. This could be the crowning moment of Kane’s career. The Bayern Munich striker has enjoyed the season of his life, with more domestic trophies in the bag and 73 goals in 64 appearances for club and country. There are more steps to take, though. The chance to lead England into a first World Cup final abroad is within reach. All Kane has to do to is outperform the greatest footballer of all time. Continue reading...

The Guardian FootballFrance unleashed: reinvention could earn Deschamps all-time great status | Nick Ames
Head coach has found a way to get the best out of his glittering attack and has a second World Cup in sight It was a night when, as Didier Deschamps put it, the light went out by half-time. A remodelled France side had been comfortably beaten by Italy in their Nations League opener and a Parisian crowd made their feelings perfectly clear upon the conclusion. Three days later Les Bleus ’ roadshow moved to Lyon for a meeting with Belgium, where the head coach’s name was booed before kick-off. Deschamps attributed that to provincial enmities but there was the clear sense of a once glorious tenure outlasting its welcome. Almost two years on, Deschamps stands on the verge of genuine greatness. How can the assessment be any other way when, should the next six days go to plan, he would be only the second manager to win the World Cup twice? The power is firmly back on for France and will surge to new levels if they underline his renaissance against Spain. Continue reading...

The Guardian FootballFootball Daily | A 64-team World Cup? More is more when it comes to Fifa-land
Sign up now! Sign up now! Sign up now? Sign up now! So, here we are. After a century of matches, and for the first time in history, the World Cup has entered its sixth week. But is it about to get longer? Gianni Infantino didn’t even get through the first of an agonising two-day rest period before dropping the hint that Fifa would be “examining and discussing” the potential for the 2030 tournament to be a 64-team affair. Some may say – not Football Daily, of course – that this was a handy way to move the news cycle on after Balogun-gate, Cable-gate and the ever-growing industry of suspicion that is VAR-gate. But let’s take it at face value: Fifa appears to be giving this some thought and, after years spent expanding virtually every tournament in their jurisdiction, it has previous. While largely agreeing with Rich Zahradnik’s complaint about your faux Private Eye approach, may I be the 1,057th person to point out that Dundee United’s victory at Stirling Albion (yesterday’s Beyond the GWC, full email edition) doesn’t mean that they progress to round two yet as they still have three games to play in their group” – Stuart Ainsworth (and 1,056 others). In yesterday’s Memory Lane (full email edition) featuring the England 1982 World Cup Panini spread, you finished with ‘want, want, want’ and I can free you from desire. I have the full ‘82 album, complete with the scribbles of a newly-obsessed eight-year-old football fan and the dog ears of an adult who still treasures memories of the tournament. My parents supported its completion as a distraction from our migration from Switzerland to Australia and created a moment in time for me that means all my passwords still start with Zico and my favourite coffee table book remains Baumann’s ‘Fussball Weltmeisterschaft 1982 Spanien’. I’m happy to loan you both the album and book for as long as it takes to satisfy your needs.

BBC SportMost clinical? Least creative? Best in the air? Comparing the last four
BBC Sport compares statistics for France, Spain, Argentina and England in the World Cup so far as the semi-finalists prepare to meet.
The Guardian FootballRodri: ‘France are one of the best teams here, in great form, but so are Spain. We can beat them’
The Spain captain on his team’s chances in the World Cup semi-final, analysing every game so far and how to get the best out of Lamine Yamal “I’m not that bad,” Rodrigo Hernández says. It is the morning after the 2026 World Cup’s 100th game and in a conference room at the Cotton Bowl where old posters line the walls and Spain are about to start their penultimate training session before the 101st match, their captain is doing the calculations. Even with the six in which he has played and all the travel, from Atlanta to Guadalajara and Dallas to Los Angeles and back, 9,000 miles so far, he reckons he has watched the “immense majority”. More than anyone else here, anyway. “Some as a fan, teams we can’t face; others I analyse. But it’s not like I’m there with pen and paper,” he says. Then he cracks up and concedes: “But, yeah, I probably am the worst.” They wouldn’t have it another way; he couldn’t have it any other way. This is who Rodri is: Ballon d’Or winner and business graduate from Castellón University . The kid who was on camp in the Connecticut woods, aged 14, when Spain last won the World Cup and the captain who aspires to lift the trophy again, back in the US 16 years on. The midfielder who sometimes seems like a de facto coach, analysing everything. The adult in the room, a leader aware of his responsibility. When Rodri talks, they listen. Sometimes they have to. And, oh, Rodri talks , a calm authority about him. Continue reading...
