[ad_1] Iran coach Carlos Queiroz has called ‘outrageous’ comments made about his team by 1990 World Cup winner and BBC pundit Jurgen Klinsmann a ‘disgrace to football’, demanding that the former Germany striker also resign from his role as a member of FIFA’s Technical Study Group. Klinsmann was working on BBC’s coverage of Iran’s game against Wales on Friday and was highly critical. The former United States coach made broad generalisations about Iran’s style and character, repeatedly stating ‘This is their culture’ in a clip that made for uncomfortable viewing. “It is part of their culture and how they play it, they worked the refereeRead More →

[ad_1] Second-half goals from Lionel Messi and Enzo Fernandez helped Argentina limp towards a 2-0 victory against Mexico on Saturday night. The Lusail Iconic Stadium will be the venue for the World Cup final but it served as the setting for what Lautaro Martinez described as the first of “two finals” for Argentina after the shock defeat to Saudi Arabia in their opener. Very much like a final, it was a desperately cagey contest pockmarked by niggling fouls, spiky challenges and few chances. Argentina began the game hampered by the pressure of the circumstances and – more pertinently – Mexico’s energetic start, forcing the CopaRead More →

[ad_1] Wales and England will face off at the Ahmed bin Ali Stadium on Tuesday in their final group game at this World Cup, with both sides keen to end on the strongest note possible.

Here’sRead More →

Iran bounced back from a heavy defeat against England by beating Wales. Ahead of kick-off, they sit second in the standings and will automatically go through to the last 16 for the first time in their history if they win – potentially even as group winners should England fail to beat Wales. A draw could also be enough for Iran to make it through, but only if Wales don’t win.Read More →

[ad_1] Germany manager Hansi Flick has warned his side they face a ‘final’ against Spain to avoid yet another tournament humiliation. The 2014 world champions were eliminated at the group stage in 2018 before falling to England in the last 16 of Euro 2020, and they are already at risk of tumbling out of this year’s World Cup after a shock defeat to Japan in their opening fixture. Now, with Luis Enrique’s Spain to come on Sunday, Germany could be staring another abrupt exit in the face. “The last two tournaments were not [good],” Flick admitted before the game. “We want to avoid a repeatRead More →
