🇧🇷⚔️🇳🇴 The rivalry continues… this time on the biggest stage.

They've gone head-to-head countless times in club football. Now, Gabriel and Haaland meet again with a place in the FIFA World Cup 2026 quarter-finals at stake.

Not the worst way for Cape Verde to sign out of the World Cup. Argentina certainly not an easy opponent to go head to head with in this manner. One of the few teams that has made Africa proud👏

[oldtom @old_tom_]

@afcmasked Massa we have our own battle waiting for us😂

[oldtom @old_tom_]

You cant do this to us Cape Verde

[oldtom @old_tom_]

After all this performance, Cape verde is sending Argentina packing. You cant tell me otherwise.

What a goal. 👏

Erling Haaland is absolutely cooking at the 2026 FIFA World Cup. 🇳🇴⚡ The Norwegian striker is the definition of "hype" right now scoring prolifically for Norway (who hadn't been to a World Cup since 1998), delivering clutch moments, and blending elite finishing with a surprisingly relatable off-pitch vibe that's winning over casual fans

@SprightlyCFC Yeah

You can't name a football coach or manager without letter "A"

Level: Very Hard.

3 among these legends never won Champions League through out their careers.

Name the legends

Level; Impossible.

£30m for Xhaka?
Even Saka not up to that amount

[Godwin 💙💙 @Forever123skk]

Between those four players who do you think will be an upgrade in about attack ❓

Erling Haaland 🆚 Harry Kane — Better pure striker?

[Collins @AsogwaDave91092]

5 goals for halland in the world Cup already.
60 goals for Norway in 53 appearances...
Next up is against Brazil.🇧🇷

[Collins @AsogwaDave91092]

What would be the fate of this young lad knowing that better defenders are coming in?
I think loaning him out to Either Brighton, Bournemouth or Newcastle will help him to be solid and more experienced because letting go of such a kid would cost Chelsea in the future.

CERTAIN THINGS IN LIFE 👇

Death, taxes, and an Arsenal player missing a crucial penalty for club or country. 😂😭

🚨🔵 REVIEW: Chelsea’s Heart Is Missing: Why Boehly’s Ownership Has Frozen Out the Legends Who Built the Club

Chelsea once felt like a club with a heartbeat you could recognize. A place where winners stayed close and the people who built the legacy still helped shape what came next. That feeling is fading.
Under Roman Abramovich, Chelsea was not just about buying success.

It was also about protecting standards through the voices of those who had already done it. Club legends stayed involved, carrying the mindset from one generation to another. It kept the dressing room sharp and the identity clear.

Petr Cech is a strong example. After his playing career, he stepped into a senior advisory role and helped guide performance culture and expectations. His experience at the very top level gave the club a steady reference point.

That kind of influence mattered.
John Terry also remained connected. He worked in the academy in a limited role, helping young players understand what Chelsea demanded. Even in a small capacity, his presence symbolized continuity. He represented what the club used to be about.

Then everything changed after the 2022 takeover by Todd Boehly and Clearlake Capital. The new ownership arrived with a clean slate mindset. The goal was to rebuild with modern structure, data driven recruitment, and new leadership across the board.

That reset came with a clear consequence. Former players were moved out of influential positions or reduced to minor roles. Cech’s advisory involvement ended shortly after the transition. Terry stayed but only in a restricted academy capacity with no impact on senior decisions.

Today, Chelsea’s key football decisions are handled by external executives like Paul Winstanley and Laurence Stewart. They come from a modern recruitment and analytics background, not from the club’s playing history. The boardroom reflects the same approach. It is business first, legacy second.

The result is a club that feels more structured but less personal. Efficient on paper but emotionally distant for many supporters. The old voices that once carried Chelsea’s identity are no longer shaping the direction of the team.

This is not accidental. It is a deliberate rebuild. But it raises a real question. Can a club maintain its winning soul when the people who lived it are no longer in the room?

🚨🔵 EXCLUSIVE: BlueCo hit by potential €28m UEFA fines after breaking squad rules

Just when Chelsea fans were enjoying a wave of good news, UEFA has handed BlueCo an expensive reality check.

Chelsea and sister club Strasbourg have both been fined after breaching UEFA's squad cost rules, with the combined penalties reaching €28 million, although part of the total has been suspended.

Chelsea received a €3 million fine, with €1 million suspended. UEFA acknowledged the club's progress in improving its financial position, which helped keep the punishment relatively light.

The bigger blow landed in France.

Strasbourg were hit with a €25 million fine, with €12 million suspended. It is a major setback for a club that invested heavily last season but failed to qualify for the Champions League.

Their run to the Conference League semi finals brought optimism, but the financial impact of the UEFA sanction has effectively wiped out much of that reward.

The timing could hardly be worse. Strasbourg have already lost their manager, several important players have moved on, and they will not be playing European football next season. The latest punishment adds even more pressure as the club prepares for a difficult summer.

For BlueCo, the contrasting fines highlight the different paths both clubs are taking. Chelsea's smaller penalty reflects signs of improvement, while Strasbourg now faces a much tougher challenge to rebuild after an expensive campaign.

What do you make of UEFA's decision? Were the fines fair, or has BlueCo been treated too harshly?
