The Guardian FootballClass acts: the maths teacher who taught Argentina’s Álvarez and Fernández
Luciana Alvarengue likes to think she had the smallest of influences on two of her old pupils as they take aim at another World Cup For all Argentinians, sitting down to watch the 2022 World Cup final was special – but for Luciana Alvarengue there was additional emotion. In the Argentina side were not one but two players to whom she had taught maths at school: Enzo Fernández and Julián Álvarez. “They are still my students, even if they are no longer in the classroom,” she says. “To see it with my son telling me: ‘Mamá, there are your students’ … that’s really nice.” Continue reading...
The Guardian FootballLuka Modric has been tormenting England for 20 years. Can he do it one more time?
From Zagreb to Wembley and Moscow, the Croatia great has derailed the Three Lions on many occasions. Now he’s ready for one last dance in Dallas When Luka Modric first played against England, Tony Blair was still in office. Arsenal had just moved from Highbury to the Emirates Stadium, Italy were newly crowned world champions and Pep Guardiola retired as a player after a six-month spell in Mexico with Dorados. Twitter was less than three months old and Facebook had been made fully public earlier that year. Amy Winehouse’s album Back to Black was about to be released, while the much-hyped film Borat was coming to cinemas. Football fans in England – and in Croatia – may recognise which game it was solely from that last bit of pop culture history: the European Championship qualifier in Zagreb on 11 October 2006.

The Guardian Football‘I’m not a model!’ Uruguay’s Bielsa defends bizarre World Cup portrait
Head coach looked downwards in official Fifa photo ‘The picture was taken the way it was taken’ The Uruguay head coach, Marcelo Bielsa, has lived up to his maverick reputation by refusing to cooperate during a photoshoot for Fifa. Bielsa stared down at the floor, hands in pockets, statuesque, during the obligatory media duty last Wednesday and the 70-year-old hit back when asked about the incident after Uruguay’s 1-1 draw with Saudi Arabia on Monday. “I’m not a model,” he said. “I don’t have to give any explanation, the picture was taken the way it was taken.

The Guardian Football‘The perfect job’: meet the fans being paid to watch all 104 World Cup games in Times Square
A Liverpool fan and an influencer explain what it’s like to be hired for a Truman Show-style experiment When Kevin Kotoko heard that he had been selected as one of Fox’s chief World Cup watchers he had no hesitation in accepting. What self-respecting football fan could turn down the opportunity to be paid $50,000 (£37,000) to take in all 104 games at this World Cup, after all? The only issues were that he would have to watch every match in a custom-built viewing cube in the heart of Times Square and let his employers know that he wouldn’t be coming in for work the next day. “I quit my job,” admits Kotoko, a Liverpool fan who is from Florida and was working as a waiter in a restaurant. “I found out on Thursday that I had won the competition and so I told them on Friday that would be my last day!” Continue reading...
