The Guardian FootballFrance’s attacking evolution under Didier Deschamps passes latest Morocco test | Raphaël Jucobin
With the head coach having released the handbrake, his side were far superior compared with four years ago in Qatar against the same opponents The scorelines may have been exactly the same, but the stylistic gulf in France’s two World Cup knockout performances against Morocco could not have been greater. In the space of just a single tournament cycle, Didier Deschamps has embraced a vastly different style, one based on a freeform attacking line. As a one-two punch from Kylian Mbappé and Ousmane Dembélé sent the team into this year’s semi-finals, the 57-year-old’s tactical reinvention was once again vindicated. Continue reading...

The Guardian FootballMbappé stunner ends Morocco resistance to send France into World Cup semi-finals
There is a relentlessness to this France that might make them irresistible. Morocco no doubt had the best of intentions, ideas of how they could hurt the side that had beaten them in the semi-final in Qatar, but France press so well that they soon accepted they had no option but to retreat and endure. France have such attacking quality that simply surviving isn’t really a viable option. Kylian Mbappé, once again, was the key figure, missing a penalty, scoring a stunning opener and then teeing up Ousmane Dembélé for the second. He went off with 13 minutes remaining to a deserved ovation: the game had seemed to be drifting, and there had just been a sense that Morocco might conceivably pull off an implausible rearguard action, when he produced a goal from nowhere.

The Guardian Football‘There is a magnificent balance’: how Spain built a record-breaking defence
The Spain goalkeeper Unai Simón has not conceded a goal at the World Cup and, worryingly for Belgium, he has not had to face that many shots “We’re the villains, there to stop the goals that football lives off,” Unai Simón says. If so, there has never been a bad guy as bad as him, the keeper who could do with an introduction from Don LaFontaine: In a World Cup dominated by forwards, one man resists … There were five minutes to go until half-time during Spain’s battle with Portugal in the last 16 when something historic happened, or there would have been if anything had actually happened. Instead, nothing did, which is the way Simón likes it. As the clock rolled into the 40th minute, Spain’s goalkeeper silently moved on to 560 World Cup minutes without conceding, taking in seven games and going all the way back to Ao Tanaka’s strike for Japan in Qatar. Against Austria in the last 32, he had already left Walter Zenga behind on 517, now he and Spain overtook Switzerland’s record: 559 minutes spread across 14 years and three tournaments in 1994, 2006 and 2010. The next minute, Nuno Mendes hit the bar, but still Simón would not be beaten, Mikel Merino’s 90th minute winner the only goal of the game. Continue reading...

The Guardian FootballErling Haaland claims pressure is all on England in quarter-final with Norway
Striker says England one of the ‘clear favourites’ to win World Cup Also makes knowing reference to famous ‘Stay humble’ remark Erling Haaland has ramped up the World Cup mind games by saying England are the team under pressure when they face Norway in their quarter-final tie on Saturday. Haaland has enjoyed a sensational tournament , scoring seven times in four games, including twice in Sunday’s last-16 win over Brazil . Norway are flying in their first appearance on this stage since 1998 but, in characteristically mischievous fashion, Haaland insisted expectations should only be directed one way. Continue reading...
The Guardian FootballMatch-fixing has spread to chess and darts, Lords’ select committee told
Former Crystal Palace academy player gives evidence ‘There is much more to be done’, says Moses Swaibu Match-fixing has increased at an “extraordinary” rate across the world, a select committee of the House of Lords has been told, with organised crime networks even infiltrating chess as they look to launder proceeds from drug and human trafficking. The international agreements committee heard startling testimony on Thursday about the rise of match-fixing as part of its scrutiny of the Macolin convention, the first and only international treaty on the manipulation of sports competitions. The UK signed the convention in 2018 but has only recently brought it forward for ratification by parliament. Continue reading...
The Guardian FootballRice and Ødegaard put club union on hold in decisive duel between England and Norway
Two architects of Arsenal’s title triumph are likely to have starring roles for their country in pursuit of a place in the World Cup semi-finals It is one of those times when WhatsApp group chats quieten down. Friendships tend to be suspended when a World Cup quarter-final comes around and club mates, flung against one another for their countries, turn their eyes towards the biggest prize. Declan Rice and Martin Ødegaard will not be exchanging breezy pleasantries in the hours before England face Norway but the levels of respect are off the scale. The clash between two architects of Arsenal’s modern success should be decisive in determining who goes through. They have walked out together 117 times but the 118th, in the stifling heat of Miami, may leave the most lasting mark. These are two players in their prime who may never receive another opportunity this golden. Rice and Ødegaard were born 28 days apart and, partly because of the latter’s fast-tracking into the Norway senior team, did not play against each other at age-group level. Their face-offs have been limited to Mikel Arteta’s intense training sessions at London Colney, where they are depended upon to set standards. They are leaders of differing style and status who will be expected to galvanise their national teams on Saturday. Continue reading...
The Guardian FootballAnthony Gordon: ‘I have always been very intrigued to see who I can become’
England winger on his thirst for self-improvement, triumph at the Azteca and the ‘spiritual’ Thomas Tuchel It was a lighthearted moment – despite the language used – and Anthony Gordon saw the funny side. But trust the England winger to find a way to use it as fuel. It is what he does, what he has always done, since his childhood in Liverpool. It has helped him to reach the point where he completed a £60.7m transfer to Barcelona from Newcastle at the end of May. And it is driving him before Saturday’s World Cup quarter-final against Norway in Miami. Most people have seen the clip. There were 26 minutes on the clock at the Azteca Stadium on Sunday; England goalless against Mexico in the last 16. The Mexico manager, Javier Aguirre, who admits that swearing is second nature to him during matches, was in the mood to show off his English. He called out Gordon’s name and when the player turned around, he had a piece of advice. “Fuck you,” Aguirre shouted, before creasing up with laughter. Gordon did the same. Continue reading...
