Le PSG est-il en train de devenir le véritable club de l'équipe de France ? Avec Ousmane Dembélé, Désiré Doué, Bradley Barcola, Warren Zaïre-Emery, Lucas Hernandez, Lucas Chevalier et Senny Mayulu, le Paris Saint-Germain possède déjà un noyau français extrêmement important. Le mercato PSG 2026 pourrait renforcer encore davantage cette tendance. Paris accélère pour recruter Maghnes Akliouche, l'international français de l'AS Monaco, considéré comme l'une des grandes priorités offensives de Luis Campos et Luis Enrique. Une arrivée d'Akliouche permettrait au PSG de réunir plusieurs des meilleurs talents offensifs français de leur génération. Mais où jouerait-il dans l'équipe de Luis Enrique ? Peut-il évoluer avec Ousmane Dembélé, Désiré Doué et Bradley Barcola ? Arrive-t-il pour remplacer Lee Kang-in, renforcer le banc ou devenir rapidement un titulaire du Paris Saint-Germain ? Dans ce nouveau live Paris Central, nous analysons la nouvelle identité française du PSG et la stratégie de recrutement mise en place par Luis Campos. Au programme : – pourquoi le PSG insiste autant pour Maghnes Akliouche ; – le rôle prévu pour le joueur de l'AS Monaco ; – la concurrence entre Akliouche, Doué, Barcola et Dembélé ; – la place de Warren Zaïre-Emery dans le nouveau projet ; – le développement de Lucas Chevalier et Senny Mayulu ; – la stratégie française de Luis Campos ; – les conséquences pour l'équipe de France ; – et la possibilité de voir Paris devenir le club central des Bleus. 00:00 - Intro 04:15 - Fabian Ruiz, champion du monde ! 31:52 - Fabian Ruiz, possible Ballon d'Or? 46:20 - BO: quel joueur doit pousser le PSG? 01:06:55 - Ça pousse pour Diomandé 01:20:08 - Doué au milieu: pour ou contre? 01:34:55 - Ferran Torres devenu trop cher? 01:38:50 - De Ketelaere au PSG? 01:43:50 Outro Le PSG ne veut pourtant pas recruter tous les internationaux français disponibles. Le club a notamment décidé de ne pas se lancer dans une opération extrêmement coûteuse pour Michael Olise et préfère concentrer ses moyens sur des profils jugés plus accessibles et plus compatibles avec les besoins de Luis Enrique. Cette nouvelle stratégie est-elle une excellente idée ? Le PSG doit-il devenir la destination naturelle des meilleurs jeunes joueurs français ? Une concentration aussi importante d'internationaux peut-elle renforcer Paris et les Bleus, ou provoquer une concurrence trop importante à certains postes ?

Thomas Tuchel's side stormed into a commanding 4-0 half-time lead courtesy of a Declan Rice stunner, an Ezri Konsa header, and a quick-fire Bukayo Saka brace. Despite a furious second-half onslaught from France, Saka completed his hat-trick from the penalty spot before Jude Bellingham sealed the win with a brilliant individual strike deep in stoppage time.Historical Records Broken: While France's defense fell apart, their attackers made history. Kylian Mbappé netted a brilliant double, moving him to 22 overall goals to officially pass Lionel Messi as the all-time top scorer in FIFA World Cup history. Meanwhile, Michael Olise registered his seventh assist of the tournament, officially breaking Pelé's legendary single-World Cup record set back in 1970.The Deschamps Farewell: This chaotic shootout marked the final official match for Didier Deschamps, ending a historic 14-year tenure consisting of 185 matches in charge of Les Bleus.

Spain beat France 2-nil to reach FIFA World Cup 2026™ finals, after a 16 year wait. French star Mbappé calls France 'sloppy' after semifinal loss. Spanish forward Mikel Oyarzabal scored a shot into the right side from the penalty spot to give Spain the lead. Pedro Porro doubled Spain's advantage.

Spain are in the World Cup final after beating France 2-0 in Dallas – producing one of the most complete performances of the tournament to reach the showpiece. Mikel Oyarzabal converted a penalty in the 22nd minute after Lamine Yamal was fouled by Lucas Digne, before Pedro Porro added a second goal in the second half. But the wider story was how Spain neutralised France's attack. Kylian Mbappe, Ousmane Dembele, Michael Olise and Bradley Barcola managed only three shots on target between them. Spain's midfield, anchored by Rodri, was dominant throughout. France head coach Didier Deschamps faces questions about his tactical choices after starting four attackers against a Spain side built to dominate possession. Mbappe said France failed to press high as planned. Rayan Cherki was more direct, saying France were beaten technically, tactically and in the duels. Deschamps is due to step down after the tournament. Spain are to face England or Argentina in Sunday's final at MetLife Stadium. Tonight, England face Argentina at 11pm UAE time in Atlanta. The match carries the weight of history, from Diego Maradona's "Hand of God" goal in 1986 to David Beckham's red card in 1998. Argentina's team have been filmed singing about the Malvinas and Maradona, as well as Lionel Messi, who is playing in what is expected to be his final World Cup. In other news, Fifa is expected to wait until after the tournament to decide whether to take action against coaches and players who criticised referees. England manager Thomas Tuchel, Switzerland player Manuel Akanji and Egypt coach Hossam Hassan have all made remarks about officials during the tournament. Meanwhile, the World Cup final half-time show is expected to run for 20 to 25 minutes, with Madonna, Shakira, BTS, Justin Bieber and Burna Boy among the names linked to the performance. Mina Rzouki presents Trending Middle East's World Cup round-up, a daily bonus series from The National for the duration of the tournament.

Daniel and Jason each independently rebuilt Chelsea from scratch — same £1 billion budget, same rule: only sign players who were actually available during BlueCo's tenure. What they found out about their own club is not flattering.We've been threatening to do this episode for about a year, and we finally sat down and did it: rebuild the entire Chelsea squad using only transfers that were realistically available since BlueCo took over in the 2022–23 window through last winter. Same rough budget as the real thing — just under £1.5 billion, since that's what's actually been spent — and we did it completely independently, without comparing notes beforehand.The RulesNothing unrealistic. No Erling Haaland, no Kylian Mbappé — just players Chelsea could conceivably have gotten given the timing and their wage structure. Beyond that, anything goes.Defense: A Back Four That Could Have Played Together for Four YearsBoth of us kept Levi Colwill without question. From there it diverges into “what if” territory: Cristian Romero (Cucurella's Tottenham countryman) as one option at center back for the money Chelsea actually spent on Wesley Fofana, alongside cheaper alternatives like Gleison Bremer and Josko Gvardiol — both of whom were on the table for less than what Chelsea paid for Axel Disasi or Benoît Badiashile. At left back, it's Marc Cucurella against the tantalizing alternative universe where Chelsea signs Nuno Mendes instead — now arguably the best left back in the world — plus a nod to keeping Ian Maatsen around instead of selling him off.Midfield: The Two Nobody Argues WithMoises Caicedo and Cody Palmer were the two names both of us kept without hesitation — Caicedo for £116m looks like one of the better bits of business BlueCo has actually done, and Palmer, whatever you think of the scouting behind it, has been the one genuine coup. From there, the discussion opens up into names Chelsea could have had for a fraction of the outlay on Romeo Lavia, Dário Essugo, or Carney Chukwuemeka — including a free transfer for Christian Eriksen that was floated on this podcast for months before Chelsea ignored it.Wide Areas: Same Brain, Same AnswerIndependently, we both landed on Raphinha for the left wing — a name Chelsea were actually linked with around the same price point. The right wing is where it gets painful: Chelsea's actual buy in that window was Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, while Michael Olise was there for the taking and slipped away purely over wages. We also dig into whether Olise or Pedro Neto is the better player today, and what it means that Chelsea ended up paying more for the worse option.Strikers: João Pedro Stays, But Look at Who Got AwayJoão Pedro remains the starter in both our rebuilds, but the exercise turns up striker options Chelsea could have had for less than what they eventually spent — Dominic Solanke, Alexander Isak, Victor Osimhen, Viktor Gyökeres, and Jørgen Strand Larsen all get a mention as players who were on the market at some point during BlueCo's reign and went elsewhere.The Bench, and the Real NumbersWe round out both squads with backups at every position — Matheus Nunes, Adam Wharton, Youri Tielemans, Martín Zubimendi, and even Granit Xhaka (available for a fraction of what Sunderland reportedly wants for him now) all show up as realistic squad depth options.Then we do the sobering part: laying out, window by window, everything BlueCo has actually bought and sold since 2022 — and it is a genuinely rough list to read back. Almost a billion and a half spent, barely half of that recouped in sales, and a scouting department that, by our count, has produced maybe six good buys and three academy graduates in four years. Everything else is filed under “just terrible business.” This is a public episode.

The World Cup is down to the final four, and we're breaking down every semifinal matchup with our signature "Would You Rather" comparisons. We go position-by-position through France vs. Spain and Argentina vs. England, debating the better manager, goalkeeper, back line, midfield, attack, superstar, and ultimately predicting who advances to the World Cup Final. Then it's time for a Sports Scantron: Which player has the most to gain for their legacy by winning the World Cup—Lamine Yamal, Kylian Mbappé, Jude Bellingham, Lionel Messi, Harry Kane, or Michael Olise? We also dive into the NBA's next generation with an AJ Dybantsa franchise-building exercise, debating whether we'd rather build around him or some of the league's brightest young stars, plus our favorite and least favorite rookie fits from this year's class. Finally, we introduce one of the wildest fantasy football concepts yet: the "NIL League," where teams can spend next year's auction budget to recruit players from other rosters before the trade deadline.

In this electric, late-night episode of The Cooligans After Dark, Christian Polanco and Alexis Guerreros fire up the microphones live from Miami to unpack a chaotic day of World Cup quarterfinal action. The guys kick off with Argentina's high-stakes 3-1 victory over Switzerland, a match far tighter than the final scoreline suggests. They dive headfirst into the massive refereeing controversy surrounding Breel Embolo's game-altering second yellow card for simulation. Spurred by the new "mistaken identity" VAR protocol, the hosts engage in a fierce debate over whether video review belongs anywhere near yellow cards, while praising a clutch, world-class brace from Julián Álvarez that saved an exhausted, human-looking Lionel Messi against a disciplined Swiss squad anchored by a legendary Granit Xhaka. The theater only intensifies as the guys shift focus to the watch party tour's very first extra-time thriller: England's dramatic 2-1 triumph over Norway. Alexis and Christian tackle a double dose of tournament controversy, starting with Erling Haaland's disallowed go-ahead goal that was nullified by a highly questionable, soft defensive flop. They then dissect Jude Bellingham's crucial equalizer, which was clouded by allegations that a Norwegian goal kick struck an overhead skycam cable—a claim the players explicitly pointed out but FIFA's advanced ball sensors conveniently denied. To close out the night, the hosts look down the bracket to preview the titanic semifinal matchups ahead. Christian and Alexis trade tactical blueprints and drop official score predictions for the highly anticipated Spain vs. France heavyweight bout. Finally, they map out the psychological warfare and massive historical narratives set to collide when the Three Lions meet Argentina with a spot in the World Cup Final on the line.

Welcome back to World Cup Daily #39! Today, John is joined once again by Graham Homer to break down a breathtaking quarterfinal opening act. We map out the closing margins of the single-elimination bracket, deep-dive into elite technical statistics, and celebrate our massive number-one podcast ranking in Vietnam!We break down the final whistle tactical standouts and system analysis unfiltered:The Les Bleus Masterclass: France cruises into the semifinals with a commanding 2-0 victory over Morocco in Boston. Didier Deschamps' side put on a true display of power. Ousmane Dembélé struck a clinical goal following a brilliant, space-opening decoy run from Kylian Mbappé. We evaluate Michael Olise's magnificent performance out wide, highlighted by an outside-of-the-foot passing masterclass that completely bamboozled the Moroccan defense.The Death of the Stutter: Despite the loss, Moroccan goalkeeper Yassine Bounou made tournament history. Bounou stood tall to deny a staggered Mbappé penalty, extending his incredible record to 7 saved penalties out of 9 faced on the World Cup stage. We break down the mathematical failure of modern stutter run-ups and analyze the tactical evolution of keepers refusing to gamble early on their goal-lines.The Statistical Demolition: We dissect the absolute gap in quality across the pitch. While Walid Regragui heavily rotated his squad—dropping Chadi Riad, Sofyan Amrabat, and the injured Ismael Saibari—Morocco was held to a miserable single shot on target all match. France completely swallowed up the spaces, unleashing 22 shots on goal with 13 touches inside the penalty box.⏱️ MID-SHOW HYDRATION BREAK

Griffin Warner talks betting for July 9th. Griffin Warner opens episode 61 of What I Bet on a winning note, cashing the Marlins moneyline as Tuesday night's best bet and pushing the show's recent form to 8 and 4 in the last 12 picks, 5 and 2 in the last 7, and 3 and 1 in the last 4. The episode carries the name of Heriberto Hernandez, the Marlins outfielder who has become a frequent feature on recent Marlins broadcasts thanks to a run of highlight reel home runs. From there the show turns to the World Cup quarterfinals, where four matches are on tap for Thursday, July 9, and the biggest one by far is France against Morocco at Gillette Stadium outside Boston. Griffin calls France the most talented team in the tournament behind Kylian Mbappe and Michael Olise, co favorites with Spain, but questions whether manager Didier Deschamps will let his players attack with the freedom their talent deserves given how conservative Deschamps has been all tournament. That doubt pushes Griffin toward Morocco, a one goal underdog with the total at two and a half, a price he calls expensive but still appealing given how much more pragmatic and possession oriented Morocco has become in this competition. He also floats a Morocco to advance price near plus 305, leaning on his earlier successful call backing Morocco past the Netherlands. The show then moves into a full Major League Baseball breakdown covering nine games on the July 9 card. Bryce Elder and the Atlanta Braves visit Mitch Keller and the Pittsburgh Pirates in an early getaway day matchup, with Griffin leaning toward the Pirates at a plus price. Michael Wacha and the Kansas City Royals visit Sean Manaea and the New York Mets, with Griffin favoring Kansas City. Trevor Rogers and the Baltimore Orioles host David Peterson and the Chicago Cubs in what Griffin calls his top interest of the day. Patrick Sandoval and the Boston Red Sox visit Anthony Kay and the Chicago White Sox, with Griffin fading the White Sox. Jack Perkins and the Athletics visit Framber Valdez and the Detroit Tigers, with Griffin liking the Tigers price. Jesus Luzardo and the Philadelphia Phillies visit Brady Singer and the Cincinnati Reds, with Griffin leaning to the over. Logan Henderson and the Milwaukee Brewers visit Andre Pallante and the St. Louis Cardinals, with Griffin sticking to his rule against road favorites and taking the Brewers. Reid Detmers and the Los Angeles Angels visit Nathan Eovaldi and the Texas Rangers, with Griffin leaning under while flagging the shaky Angels bullpen. Merrill Kelly and the Arizona Diamondbacks visit Griffin Canning and the San Diego Padres, with Griffin fading a tired San Diego bullpen after closer Mason Miller worked on Tuesday. To close the episode, Griffin delivers his single best bet of the day, the Baltimore Orioles at minus 125 behind Trevor Rogers in an early matinee against the Chicago Cubs, calling Rogers the far more trustworthy arm in a spot he believes is priced too cheap. He wraps by restating the show's hot recent stretch and encouraging listeners to keep riding the streak through both the World Cup and Major League Baseball slates, with new episodes landing daily on the Straight Outta Vegas AM podcast feed and across social media at Real Underscore G.

We break down the tactical predictions and statistical golden boot races unfiltered:France vs. Morocco (Prediction: 3-1 France): We expect a beautifully open, front-foot attacking spectacle in Boston. While Morocco's transitional counter-attacks can easily hurt teams out wide, Achraf Hakimi's aggressive overlaps will invite devastating space for Bradley Barcola, Michael Olise, and Kylian Mbappé on the break. We review the massive boost for Walid Regragui as newly signed Bayern Munich midfielder Ismael Saibari's hamstring injury appears far less severe than first feared.Spain vs. Belgium (Prediction: 2-0 Spain): Luis de la Fuente's squad will comfortably coast into the semifinals. Spain's defensive line has been an impenetrable fortress, remaining the only team all tournament to maintain a flawless clean sheet record. With Belgium heavily unbalanced upfront, low on winger depth, and managing a knock to Djed Spence, Domenico Tedesco will be forced into a defensive 4-5-1 block to pray for a penalty lottery.Argentina vs. Switzerland (Prediction: 2-1 Argentina): Lionel Scaloni's defending champions have heavily ridden their luck, looking defensively lax and chaotic against Cape Verde and Egypt. If core Swiss speedsters like Dan Ndoye and Johan Manzambi can recover full fitness, Switzerland's disciplined structure can easily punish Argentina on the counter. However, Lionel Messi's unmatched quality to drop deep and play for the collective unit will just edge the tie.⏱️ MID-SHOW HYDRATION BREAK
We break down the final whistle rants and tactical standouts unfiltered:The MetLife Rough House: France edges out underdogs Paraguay 1-0 courtesy of a clinical penalty conversion from Kylian Mbappé. We deep-dive into Paraguay's anti-football blueprint , which descended into blatant face-slapping, elbowing, and shin-kicking targeted at Mbappé. Despite facing 13 fouls and extreme off-the-ball antics, Mbappé kept his cool, slammed home the pressure spot-kick, and celebrated by addressing his opponents in Spanish.The Refereeing Disaster: We launch an absolute post-mortem critique against Uzbekistani referee Ilgiz Tantashev and the silent VAR booth. We call out the complete lack of consistency that resulted in three yellow cards for France —including an absurd card for Michael Olise —while Paraguay escaped without a single yellow card for the first time since 1998.Morocco Crushes the Co-Hosts: Morocco cruises past co-hosts Canada with a commanding 3-0 tactical display to book a blockbuster quarter-final date against France. Azzedine Ounahi completely ran the show, coming off the bench to score a beautiful brace. While Canada showed tremendous physical spirit , their severe lack of attacking quality upfront completely isolated Jonathan David all match.⏱️ MID-SHOW HYDRATION BREAK

We analyze his real-time spatial genius, his rapid reaction to rebounds, and debate whether referees are showing unconscious bias toward Argentina.The 4-Hour Lightning Storm: France picks Iraq apart in a 3-0 masterclass, but the real drama was the massive weather delay. We look at how elite players stay physically and mentally switched on during chaotic storm rules, slam Iraq's surprisingly open tactics, and praise Kylian Mbappé for scoring a lethal strike to tie Miroslav Klose's record of 16 World Cup goals at just 27 years old!

On today's 15-minute briefing: Spain Kick Into Gear: Spain are finally looking the part against Saudi Arabia. Dani Olmo is just such a wonderful player, and with Lamine Yamal in the side, they can probably pose a massive problem to absolutely anyone. Belgium Underwhelm: Belgium underwhelm yet again, but I have to give a massive shout out to Iran, who dug deep to pick up a huge point. The Story of the Tournament: Are Cape Verde the story of the World Cup? Going toe-to-toe with Spain and now Uruguay—it is incredible to watch. Egypt Get the Job Done: Egypt show up and get a result against New Zealand that was probably expected of them, but you have to give credit to NZ, who made them work incredibly hard for it. Messi Makes History: Lionel Messi becomes the outright World Cup leading scorer with two great finishes against Austria, surely solidifying himself as the GOAT. He did miss a penalty though, which makes me wonder: did he miss it on purpose because he didn't want to break the record with a pen? Either way, Argentina are safely through to the next round. France Battle the Elements: Despite a chaotic two-hour rain delay against Iraq, Kylian Mbappe just keeps the goals coming. But once again, Michael Olise is looking like one of the best players in the world right now. France also book their spot in the next round. Haaland vs Mbappe Awaits: Erling Haaland bags two against Senegal, who are genuinely a good side and managed to cut right through Norway's defence. That vulnerability is going to be fascinating to watch in their upcoming clash with France—it is officially Haaland vs Mbappe.

This is Thierry Henry as you rarely hear him - brutally honest, analytical and still completely obsessed with competition, winning and perfection at the highest level of football.Henry visits Rio at his Airbnb in LA and opens up on the mentality behind his legendary career, including the coach at Clairefontaine who completely changed his understanding of how he moved on the pitch and why he genuinely preferred creating goals over scoring them himself - even if people never believe him. There's some extraordinary insight into Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, with Henry explaining why Messi's work ethic is hugely underrated, how quickly he justified the total freedom given to him by manager Pep Guardiola and why football should stop trying to compare the two greatest players of their generation. He also shares brilliant stories around Messi's mentality, aura inside the dressing room and how he developed into a killer from set-pieces.The conversation dives into the modern game too, with Henry arguing football has become too robotic and explaining why players like Lamine Yamal, Michael Olise and Rayan Cherki stand out because they still take risks and play with freedom. There's also special praise for Cherki's dribbling ability whilst pointing out that if the Man City forward develops his mentality off the ball he could become unstoppable.There's huge praise too for Harry Kane, Julian Alvarez and Bruno Fernandes, with Henry defending Bruno's mentality before Henry also discusses France's World Cup chances, Ousmane Dembélé's evolution into a winning player and why England genuinely could have won the 2002 World Cup if they had beaten Brazil.
