    "AN ABSOLUTE DISGRACE!" England fan rants at Gabriel Clarke

    England just beat Norway 2-1 in the World Cup quarter final. Jude Bellingham scored twice — becoming the second youngest player after Pelé to score braces in back-to-back World Cup knockout games. England are in the semi finals. It was one of the greatest nights in recent England history.And then Gabriel Clarke got hold of a microphone.

    The WORST Bournemouth Kit Ever?

    Bournemouth have just launched their first ever Hummel kit. It’s the start of a new era. European football is coming. The stadium is being rebuilt. Everything is pointing upward.And then there’s the shirt.Because the kit itself is actually brilliant. Wider red and black stripes across the whole jersey. Gold accents on the collar and sleeve cuffs. Hummel’s iconic chevrons in gold on the shoulders. A beautiful tonal pattern in the red stripes using the original 1936 Bournemouth crest. On paper — and in almost every detail — this is one of the best Bournemouth shirts in years.And then Vitality put their logo on it.

    Why Argentina WON'T Win The World Cup

    Argentina are the reigning world champions. They have Lionel Messi. They have experience, belief, and the kind of tournament pedigree that makes every neutral nervous. And we're making the case that they're not winning this one.Because when you actually look at the numbers, something doesn't add up.Argentina have been out-run by their opponents in every single match at this tournament. Per minute played they've covered less ground, sprinted less, and pressed less than any of the other three semifinalists. They've played two extra time games which flatters their total distance figures — but strip that away and this is the least athletic team left in the competition. Against England's high energy pressing and physical midfield, that is a very specific problem.

    Why Spain WON'T Win The World Cup

    Spain have conceded one goal in six World Cup games. They have 66% possession on average — the highest of any team in the tournament. They press harder, run further and sprint more than any other side remaining. By almost every metric, they are the most complete team at the 2026 World Cup. And we're making the case they won't win it.Because Spain have a semifinal problem. Across seven semifinal appearances at major tournaments, their only elimination before the final came in a penalty shootout loss to Italy at Euro 2020. If there is a stage where this team has historically been vulnerable, it is exactly this one. Against France, with Mbappé — even a Mbappé who has never scored in a World Cup semifinal — that vulnerability matters.

    Why France WON'T Win The World Cup

    France are Opta's supercomputer favourite to win the 2026 World Cup. They've conceded just two goals in six games. They're clinical, organised, and have the best player on the planet in their squad. And we think they're going home before the final.Because there is one number that should terrify every France fan. Kylian Mbappé has scored 12 career World Cup knockout goals — more than any player in history. He has never scored in a World Cup semifinal. In his two previous semifinal appearances, he was anonymous. And if France's talisman goes quiet at exactly this stage again, Deschamps has to find goals from somewhere else. Against Spain, that is not straightforward.

    Dean Court is Upgrading... Will It Still Feel Like Home?

    Dean Court is changing. And we have feelings about it.Because this isn't just a stadium expansion. This is the end of something. The faded red seats that have been there longer than most Bournemouth fans can remember are being replaced with new black ones. The corners that have always been open — letting the wind in, letting the noise out — are being filled in. The South Stand that generations of Cherries fans have stood and sat in is being demolished and rebuilt from scratch. By the time it's all done, the Vitality Stadium will hold 20,200 people. Almost double what it does now.And we're excited. We genuinely are. European football is coming. Bigger crowds are coming. Proper broadcast facilities, new hospitality, TV studios — Dean Court is finally becoming a stadium that matches the club's ambitions.

    Could Norway ACTUALLY Win the World Cup?

    Three weeks ago, asking whether Norway could win the World Cup would have been a joke. Now it isn't.Because Norway just beat Brazil. Two-one. With two Haaland goals in the last eleven minutes. At a World Cup. In New Jersey. In front of the watching world. And the five time champions are going home while a country of five million people is preparing for a quarter final against England.Erling Haaland now has seven World Cup goals — level with Lionel Messi at the top of the Golden Boot race. He was a nonfactor for seventy eight minutes against Brazil. Had limited touches. Did almost nothing. Then his coach told him to drain his energy and go for it at the hydration break. He scored twice in eleven minutes and sent Brazil home. That is not a footballer. That is a force of nature.

    The Most Blatant Act of Corruption in World Cup History Just Happened.

    Folarin Balogun received a red card against Bosnia and Herzegovina. FIFA said the decision was final. Not subject to appeal. Automatic one game suspension. That is the rule. That has always been the rule. That is what the competition regulations explicitly state.Then Donald Trump called Gianni Infantino. And the rule stopped applying.Because here is what actually happened. Trump called FIFA's president and asked him to review Balogun's red card. FIFA — the same organisation that had told everyone the decision was final and not able to be overturned — suspended the ban within days. Balogun played against Belgium. And Trump posted on social media: "Thank you to FIFA for doing what was right."
