1/ Manchester United officials are in London TODAY holding high-level talks with West Ham over the potential signing of 21-year-old Portuguese midfielder Mateus Fernandes.
Both clubs are keen to get the deal over the line quickly.

Why does every World Cup 2026 match now stop twice?

Mandatory hydration breaks. Three minutes each half, every game, heat or not.

In 2014 they only came out when it got dangerous. Now they are in the rules full time.

Player welfare, or a TV timeout with a water bottle? Pick one.

France's next Ballon d'Or? Mbappe, Dembele, Olise or Saliba. #France #BallonDor #football #fyp

Canada 6-0 Qatar. Jonathan David hat-trick. Their first ever win at a men's World Cup.

We said the attack ran through David. He scored three.

Chelsea's transfer plan isn't really about football.

It's about a spreadsheet.

Xabi Alonso inherits the bill for the long-contract era.

The cold numbers 👇

Hot take:

BlueCo outsmarted the old rules.

The rules changed.

Now they're the most boxed-in big club in England.

[TheARCHV @thearchv_ca]

Manchester United have their first signing of the summer: Éderson is in from Atalanta, per Fabrizio Romano.

Next on Carrick's list: a midfielder, with Baleba the name, and Lukeba at the back.

Baleba, or spend it elsewhere? Bookmark this and tell us.

Kane keeps doing Kane things. The talent was never the question. The nerve is. England to win it, yes or no? Follow @thearchv_ca.

England 4-2 Croatia. Can they actually go all the way? A thread on what the opener told us.

[TheARCHV @thearchv_ca]

Going forward, frightening. At the back, still a door left ajar. Against the best, that gets punished.

[TheARCHV @thearchv_ca]

Harry Kane now has 10 World Cup goals.

His double against Croatia drew him level with Gary Lineker's England record. England won the opener 4-2.

Does he break it before this World Cup is done?

With Alphonso Davies still sidelined, Canada's attack runs through one man today: Jonathan David.

Their all-time leading scorer. A Juventus forward. Quiet, relentless, and now the focal point at a home World Cup, against Qatar in Vancouver.

Where does he rank among Canada's best?

That is the Lukeba picture as it stands.

Would you pay €65m for a 23-year-old left-footed centre-back? Tell us.

LINKED: Manchester United lead the race to sign Castello Lukeba from RB Leipzig 🧵

What we actually know, and what is still just noise. #MUFC

[TheARCHV @thearchv_ca]

Status.

LINKED. Talks with his camp reported, nothing agreed. Per FootballTransfers and others. We will update when there is real movement, not before.
