🏴🇮🇹❤️ This is incredible! 4th division English side Grimsby Town released their new away kit which is inspired by Italian culture and the video is superb. 🤌
In 1996, Grimsby and Milan had almost identical kits, so they decided to bring it back. 👕
🚨🚨 DES TENSIONS AURAIENT ÉCLATÉ ENTRE SADIO MANÉ ET KALIDOU KOULIBALY EN SÉLECTION ! 🇸🇳😡
La présence de Malang Sarr dans la liste du Sénégal aurait longtemps fait débat en interne.
Sadio Mané était favorable à sa convocation, contrairement à Kalidou Koulibaly, qui s'y serait opposé.
À la veille du match face à la France, Mané aurait même suggéré que Koulibaly déclare forfait afin de libérer une place pour le défenseur lensois. 😳
Depuis cet épisode, les relations entre les deux cadres se seraient dégradées…

—@herculezg on FIFA suspending Folarin Balogun's red card and allowing him to play vs. Belgium ⚽️

« JE NE SAVAIS PAS QUE LE 5 JUILLET ÉTAIT LE 1er AVRIL AUX ÉTATS-UNIS. » 😶
🎙️ conf. de presse
0 - Since the introduction of yellow and red cards at the 1970 edition, no player has ever received a red card and gone on to play in his team's next match at the FIFA World Cup.
Unprecedented.
🚨 𝗕𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗞𝗜𝗡𝗚: The Royal Belgian Football Association has released a statement in regard to Folarin Balogun being able to play against them.
"The Royal Belgian Football Association (RBFA) is astonished by FIFA's decision to declare suspended United States player Folarin Balogun eligible to play in the USA–Belgium match on Monday, 6 July at 5:00 p.m. (Seattle time)."
"FIFA bases its decision on Article 27 of the FIFA Disciplinary Code. This provision states that the FIFA Disciplinary Committee may decide to suspend the enforcement of a previously imposed disciplinary sanction."
"However, Article 66.4 of the same FIFA Disciplinary Code clearly provides that a red card (sending-off) automatically results in a suspension for the team's next match, as has been the case for all previous red cards issued during this FIFA World Cup."
"Furthermore, and irrespective of the above, the decision is in direct contradiction with the provisions of the FIFA World Cup 2026 Competition Regulations, as set out in Article 10.5:
"If a player or team official is sent off as a result of a direct or indirect red card (second caution), they will automatically be suspended from their team's subsequent match. In addition, further sanctions may be imposed."
"The automatic nature of such a suspension was also explicitly reaffirmed in FIFA World Cup 2026 Circular No. 16, which was distributed to all participating member associations on 12 May 2026."
"The same rule is reiterated at every FIFA World Cup 2026 Match Coordination Meeting prior to each match and is included in all FIFA World Cup 2026 workshop presentations.
"In order to safeguard the legitimate rights of all participating teams and to protect the fundamental principles of fair play in our sport, both at this FIFA World Cup and at future editions of the tournament, the RBFA is investigating all potential options."
