Norway’s golden generation is going to upset some big teams

[The Assistant Manager FC @TheAssistman]

They’re upset because the KSA (Korea Football Association) is terribly incompetent. They took 6 months to appoint a head coach. Initially they were going to appoint big names such as Jesse Marsch, but they went with Hong Myung-bo, a very underwhelming appointment. Hence South Korea’s terrible form & World Cup performance

[Lerato. @baddaysareover]

South Korea shouldn’t be allowed to compete in another World Cup until their citizens learn how to behave. Why are death threats being sent to a coach just because the team got eliminated? That’s a normal thing in football, they need to get a grip.

[Africa Facts Zone @AfricaFactsZone]

1 million South Africans live abroad.

[The Assistant Manager FC @TheAssistman]

Love it when a team full of South American based players humbles a Top European team: Germany vs Paraguay

Or when a team full of African based players humbles a Top European team: Belgium vs Egypt

We explain this in the video below.

Around the 3 minute mark.

[Thomas Mlambo @thomasmlambo]

A lot of people saying Mofokeng should go straight to England don't realise how hard it is to get a work permit there.

That's why Belgium, Portugal and other smaller European nations are used as gateway leagues.

But why did Ancelotti Select Neymar, and where does he fit into the team for the 2026 FIFA world Cup? What has Nike got to do with it ?

[The Assistant Manager FC @TheAssistman]

So after dissapointing 2024 & a rocky start to 2025, Brazil Football Federation(CBF) hired Carlo Ancelotti. A weird move to some, he’s not exactly a Joga Bonito or Brazilian style coach.

He is however an excellent Man-manager & the best at creating a team out of a bunch of individual superstars.

But why did he Select Neymar, and where does he fit into the team for the 2026 FIFA world Cup?

[The Assistant Manager FC @TheAssistman]

Why when European teams get knocked out, do you want to question the legitimacy of penalties?

[The New York Times @nytimes]

From @TheAthleticFC: Penalty shootouts are brutal. Is there a better way to settle tied games? A fairer way? A more fitting test of skills?

We asked our writers and this is what they think the World Cup can steal from other sports: https://t.co/r4KfBlk4e1

[The Assistant Manager FC @TheAssistman]

Union Saint-Gilloise dont just sign players on a whim, them & Brighton ( part of the same ownership group) have one of the most successful scouting networks in Europe. Some of their success stories include Deniz Undav, Victor Boniface , Adringa, Mitoma & Percy Tau.

They also play Champions League + regularly challenge for the Belgian Pro League.

[EuroFoot @eurofootcom]

🚨🇿🇦 𝐁𝐑𝐄𝐀𝐊𝐈𝐍𝐆 | Belgian club Union Saint-Gilloise set to sign Relebohile Mofokeng (21) from Orlando Pirates, reports @sachatavolieri/@david_vdb. ✅

He played in three matches at the 2026 World Cup for South Africa. 💎

[The Assistant Manager FC @TheAssistman]

@AlgerianFooty Africa falls under CAF

[Jimmy-Nate Hustlebank @jimmyFloyed]

Bafana would also be able to go toe to toe (like Japan), with big boys like Brazil, if we adopted a similar model like Japan. Encourage our best players to play in Europe. Also, it doesn’t the diminish the quality of the J-League.

[Paul Spacey ⚽️ @PaulSpacey]

@rajsinghchohan Did you not watch Ueda up top? 6ft, strong guy, very good player.

Tomiyasu is 6’2”, good in the air but switched off and lost Casemiro for the goal.

It’s too easy and lazy to revert to physical arguments. Missing 3 of their best players through injury didn’t help.

[The Assistant Manager FC @TheAssistman]

@rajsinghchohan I disagree. They were limited by all their injuries

[Raj Chohan @rajsinghchohan]

Brazil are crossing so much bcos of Japan aerial weaknesses. They’re gonna live or die by it. Either win by crossing or not at all. Presume that’s why Casemiro has stayed on even though he’s been poor.
