The Guardian FootballWill Lankshear starts off in style to see Middlesbrough past Wrexham
Will Lankshear’s debut strike ensured Middlesbrough made a winning start to the season as they beat Wrexham 1-0 in the Carabao Cup first round. Lankshear, a £10m summer signing from Tottenham, scored the only goal of the game in the 61st minute as he hooked home an excellent first-time volley.

The Guardian FootballInfantino’s World Cup sell-off debacle has rocked football but Fifa’s crisis has deep and rotten roots
It has been a remarkable few days for an institution that may be irredeemable but this is a story that stretches back to a decision in 2010 There are decades in which nothing happens, and weeks in which decades happen, and those weeks tend to result in leaders being toppled. Not even a fortnight ago, Gianni Infantino was taking his victory lap on Instagram, attacking “those behind their pens and papers, behind their screens spreading hate and false rumours” who had dared to question elements of his World Cup, which had generated a record $15bn in revenues. But the next day came the revelation of his plan to sell the World Cup to outside investors and a backlash that has him scrabbling to save his presidency. It has been a remarkable few days, but this is a story whose roots stretch way back, to the decision in Zurich in 2010 to award the 2022 World Cup not to the US but to Qatar , to a furious Bill Clinton hurling an ashtray across the room and demanding action, to an FBI inquiry into corruption, and to the flipping of the larger-than-life Concacaf general secretary Chuck Blazer , who had two apartments in Trump Tower, one for himself and one for his cats.

The Guardian FootballJay-Z’s Roc Nation Sports making waves in European football transfer market
Vinícius Júnior and Yan Diomande are among more than 100 players at an agency owned by the hip-hop legend In the end there was a clear winner. And Jay-Z’s latest victory came only 24 hours after the first record featuring him actually rapping for four years had been released by his wife, Beyoncé, on an extended remix pack of Morning Dew (Donk). These days, the man who remains one of the most influential artists in hip-hop has his fingers in many pies, from the streaming service Tidal and his own streetwear brand, to champagne and cognac. But it is Roc Nation Sports – an offshoot of his entertainment company of the same name founded in 2008 – making headlines in the summer transfer window. Continue reading...

The Guardian FootballThe Guardian view on Gianni Infantino: in the interests of the game he professes to love, he should go | Editorial
The Fifa president’s attempt to brazen out the storm, after attempting to sell a stake in the World Cup to private equity, adds insult to injury “How did you go bankrupt?” a character is asked in Ernest Hemingway’s novel The Sun Also Rises. “Gradually, then suddenly” comes the reply. Right now, Fifa’s justly besieged president, Gianni Infantino, is experiencing something similar in relation to the loss of his own authority. Since taking over the running of world football’s governing body in 2016, Mr Infantino has survived regular criticism of a monetising approach which has often come at a sporting cost. But since egregious plans to sell a stake in the World Cup to the brother of Donald Trump’s son-in-law were leaked to the media, his credibility has been draining away at speed.

The Guardian FootballI love football, so I support lots of clubs | Letters
Millwall remain my main club, but others have turned my head, writes Michael Opitz. Also letters from Neil Bage and Ariel J Friedlander I read Luke McLaughlin’s article with a great deal of empathy, yet still with some uneasiness about the taboo of having more than one club ( Have you ever switched allegiance as a football fan? You are not alone, 1 August ). A world I inhabit. I too was at the Millwall v Forest game marred by crowd trouble. It was my first! My family are mostly Millwall, who remain my club, but having seen them drop down the divisions and play in the third tier, my head was turned by better technique and Tottenham- and Arsenal-supporting friends. They will never understand my soft spot for both clubs. Continue reading...
