This is Gondar, Ethiopia. The city football club Fasil Kenema have magnificent fans. Take a look where the fans are to attend their beloved team while the stadium are full.

Intriguingly influential fans in Ethiopia football.

@SebC__ Dawit Kassaw is a baller if you've watched him play for the U17 NT.

[Timotios Baye Mengistu @TimotiosBM]

@SebC__ Love it.

@markrstats That's the only way they can control the game. RSA can’t play transitional football against Canada.

[Timotios Baye Mengistu @TimotiosBM]

@Ruxiiii4 Canada's push for RSA to play on the left side and win balls from the FB and winger to attack aggressively.

[Timotios Baye Mengistu @TimotiosBM]

___ Canada forcing South Africa to build on the left. When South Africa find their left-back, Canada press aggressively and attack quickly in transition.

South Africa lack a target man to hold up long balls and are being outmuscled in transition. ⚽️

Who’s gonna win the World Cup? 🏆🍿

@SantiSignals Top work mate

Demeble scored a hat-trick on the same spot.

France NT:

Best in AO, DO, AT, DT & set plays.

Players like Vini could be their problem versus their right back.

[Timotios Baye Mengistu @TimotiosBM]

___My Top 4 Players at the World Cup so far

1. Lionel Messi
2. Kylian Mbappé
3. Vinícius Júnior
4. Erling Haaland

[Timotios Baye Mengistu @TimotiosBM]

Rice and Bruno Guimarães in midfield is unfair. Bruno has it all: elite passing, ball winning, creativity, and goals.

[David Ornstein @David_Ornstein]

🚨 Arsenal made verbal offer to sign Bruno Guimaraes from Newcastle United. #AFC proposal through intermediaries below £60m - rejected + #NUFC insist sale of 28yo #Brazil int’l midfielder will not be entertained. W/ @gunnerblog @ChrisDHWaugh @TheAthleticFC https://t.co/EAsKXjwYCW

___Canada vs South Africa will be fun. One of the best pressing teams against a brave build-up side. I’m expecting Jesse Marsch to go with a +1 at the back and a -1 up front in the press.

[Timotios Baye Mengistu @TimotiosBM]

Receiving with the far foot doesn’t mean playing well. RSA’s CDM didn’t see his opponent while the ball was traveling from the GK. This cost them to concede the first goal of the 2026 WC.

[Timotios Baye Mengistu @TimotiosBM]

@PremLeaguePanel And leave that space for the giants

[Timotios Baye Mengistu @TimotiosBM]

____Canada aren't putting enough pressure on the ball in Switzerland’s 3+1 build-up. Switzerland keep clipping long balls in behind for their striker, and it’s causing problems.

@Tactx_ Tuchel likes 5 attackers and 5 defenders

Coaching #2

Ghana’s 4-5-1 low block frustrated England. This game exposed England against low- blocks.

Low blocks can be broken through shooting, crossing, dribbling, and pocket specialists like l Palmer, Dani Olmo, Olise,Messi, and Wirtz.
