🚨⚪️⚫️ BREAKING: Leandro Trossard to Besiktas, here we go! Deal approved right now by Belgian winger.

2 - Mikel Merino is the first player in FIFA World Cup history to score the winning goal in two different knockout stage matches as a substitute.
Dependable.
Leandro Trossard has now created more chances than any other player at the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
His 17th chance created assisted Charles De Ketelaere's second goal vs USA.
Gabriel is one of the few remaining CBs who loves the physicality and the problem for him is Haaland is one of the few remaining strikers who loves it even more
🚨🗣️ Thomas Tuchel gives his take on Balogun's suspension being lifted:
"To be clear, it was not a red card. VAR got involved. The decision is made."
"Who overturns this decision and when and on what grounds? It’s strange for me. We want consistency."
"I think it is not a yellow card, Declan Rice. Does France get the yellow card back for Michael Olise, which was not a yellow card?"
"Where does this start and where does this end? Do we appeal (Jarell Quansah red)?"
"Should Harry Kane ask President Trump? Maybe!"
'I asked for a review.'
Donald Trump spoke about FIFA's decision to reverse Folarin Balogun's one-game ban after the USA forward received a red card.

Il y avait + de joueurs nés en Afrique dans l’équipe de France 1998 (2 : Patrice Vieira né au Sénégal et Marcel Desailly né au Ghana) que dans l’équipe de France 2026 (1 : Brice Samba qui est né au Congo).
Et : n’importe quelle personne a forcément des origines, prenons par exemple « le cas » de l’équipe du Paraguay (outre le fait que 3 joueurs soient nés hors du Paraguay comme pour l’équipe de France) : le Paraguay compte des joueurs ayant des origines espagnoles (en majorité), italiennes, argentines, allemandes et brésiliennes.
Bref : preuve que le problème pour ces gens n’est pas l’origine mais la couleur de peau.
