The Guardian FootballFather figure Carlo Ancelotti will have a plan for Brazil. He always has a plan | Rodrygo
For anyone outside the dressing room it is hard to predict what the Mister will do but he will be prepared for Japan on Monday The 2022 Champions League semi-final. The Santiago Bernabéu. More than 60,000 fans in the stands, and Manchester City leading 1-0. I was on the Real Madrid bench when Carlo Ancelotti called me over and told me to get on the pitch, play aggressively and decide the match. I stepped on to the field in the 68th minute. In the 90th minute, I equalised but we still trailed by a goal on aggregate. We restarted, and the next minute I scored again to force extra time . We won and the rest is history: another title for the club after beating Liverpool in the final. I bring up this moment to highlight how important coaches are to a team’s journey and how decisive they are in a player’s career, doing work that often goes unseen by the public. Continue reading...

The Guardian FootballSmall-minded SFA must ditch parochial mentality if Scotland are to thrive | Ewan Murray
Search for Steve Clarke’s replacement must look outside the country’s borders to avoid future World Cup disappointment There was one element of the Scottish Football Association’s otherwise baffling decision to give Steve Clarke a four‑year deal weeks before a World Cup ball had been kicked that made sense. When assessing alternatives to Clarke as the Scotland manager, it is apparent that paucity of talent among the country’s footballers is replicated in the coaching ranks. Clarke’s sudden resignation places the SFA in a position it was not only desperate to avoid but requires something it typically lacks; out‑of‑the-box thinking. Clarke has spared himself and his paymasters an acrimonious, lengthy goodbye while placing them in precisely the quandary they thought they had seen off. Continue reading...
The Guardian Football‘Street football on world stage’: Morocco and Netherlands face off in last-32 tie with a backstory
Moroccans began moving to the Netherlands in the 1960s, lending match in Mexico a feeling akin to ‘a derby’ Thirty-two years to the day since their first official encounter, Morocco and the Netherlands face each in what has the makings of a blockbuster last-32 match. Many things have changed since the 1994 World Cup group game in Orlando, that Netherlands won 2-1, but Morocco’s history is never far from the plot. Take the venue for Monday’s encounter – Monterrey, where the Atlas Lions played most of their 1986 World Cup campaign, in the process becoming the first African team to progress through the group stage. So many in Morocco spy a golden opportunity for revenge and glory. And they would be right to do so given how four years ago, in Qatar, Morocco stunned the world by reaching the semi-finals, beating Belgium, Spain and Portugal in the process. They now have another European heavyweight firmly in their sights. Continue reading...

The Guardian FootballIran needed help to save their ‘disaster’ World Cup. Instead they got more heartbreak
Team Melli’s agonizing exit after other results failed to break their way is a moment of anguish that rises to the top of a football history full of them Mehdi Taremi lay on the ground at Seattle Stadium staring at the heavens, devastated. The Iran team he captains had just finished a 1-1 draw with Egypt in their final World Cup group game – one where a win would have put them through to the knockout round for the first time in seven tournament appearances. Taremi had missed a penalty in Friday’s contest, and a seeming late winner had sent the team into bedlam before being correctly ruled out for offside. Taremi lay on the ground for several minutes. He did so as Alireza Jahanbakhsh, his longtime teammate on a veteran-laden Iran squad, offered comfort. Taremi remained after other teammates who had collapsed in exhaustion had arisen again, trudging to the locker room. Continue reading...
