Le football professionnel français s’apprête à faire évoluer sa gouvernance. @PhilippeDiallo précise : le futur modèle serait « à peu près à 90 % » celui de la Premier League. Mais avec une différence majeure : la @FFF conserverait un pouvoir de contrôle important. Décryptage 👇

Exclusive @TheAthleticFC Infantino did not tell FIFA Council he solicited private investors for U-15 World Cup, even as he held talks over $250m+ investment led by Todd Boehly’s Eldridge for 20-30 year deal for event for all 211 nations at Disney/ESPN nytimes.com/athletic/7540584…

Heavy rain is hitting the Tokyo area today: thunderstorms are so severe that alerts are being automatically sent to residents' phones. This is a scene from Ichikawa, a city that borders the east side of Tokyo.

Good riddance. But the continued pretending that FIFA needs external investment to carry on “growing the game everywhere” and “especially in those countries where support is most needed” has to do one. Along with the lie the project was some goodwill gesture when the secrecy it in which it was conceived, the lack of any transparency and due process, along with the bribed rush to pass it told the truth.

Fifa is "assessing match reports" before deciding whether to punish Argentina after players celebrated their World Cup semi-final win against England with a banner in support of their country's claims to the Falkland Islands.

Avec des joueurs de deuxième division, issus des championnats ou même sans club, le Cap-Vert a fait jeu égal pendant 120 minutes avec l'Argentine, championne du monde. Une performance légendaire qui restera dans les mémoires pendant de nombreuses années. Le projet de jeu de Bubista est l'un des meilleurs de la planète, il a réussi à assembler et créer une équipe incroyable. C'est le gros coup de cœur de cette coupe du monde.

Argentina survive an almighty scare in Miami as they scrape past Cape Verde 3-2 after extra time. The world's 64th ranked team twice came back from behind - including a goal of the tournament contender from Sidny Lopes Cabral - but they couldn't pull off one of the biggest ever World cup shocks. Cristian Romero's header, that went in off the hand of Diney Borges, means the holders scrape through to the last 16. Cape Verde's incredible fairytale is over. Argentina live to fight another day.

This is the story of how Uruguay and Marcelo Bielsa's relationship and World Cup unravelled. ■ Senior players staged an intervention in an attempt to change the style versus Spain ■ Subbed off his captain Fede Valverde after 57 mins of that vital final match ■ Some players say Bielsa has not spoken to them at all since Uruguay's exit was confirmed ■ A source close to Bielsa thinks this could be the 70-year-old's final major job in football 📝 @jwhitey98, @polballus, @AdamCrafton_ and @FelipeCar 🔗 nyti.ms/4vAj1M7
