2026 World Cup, Round of 32: Côte d’Ivoire vs. Norway; France vs. Sweden; Mexico vs. Ecuador
Day 19, the first full day of Round of 32 action, delivered the drama of the expanded knockout rounds in spades. All three games were close. Two were decided in a penalty kick shootout. The third featured a stoppage-time winner. They may not have been equally entertaining in terms of the football on display, but […]
Manchester City appoint Enzo Maresca; Chelsea receive compensation and have some parting words
Enzo Maresca was officially appointed as the new head coach at Manchester City today, succeeding Pep Guardiola who left the club at the end of the season after a vastly successful decade-long run in charge. Maresca, who served as assistant to Guardiola for one of those ten seasons, certainly has his work cut out for […]
The Daily Hilario: The WOW! Signal
I mentioned this in a comment the other day, but MUSE’s new album, ‘The WOW! Signal’ came out on Friday (dropped, went live, whatever the kids might say these days), and I’m absolutely in love with it, playing it 24/7 as you do. It’s getting great reviews, and justifiably so: it’s their tenth and it’s […]
2026 World Cup, Round of 32: Brazil vs. Japan; Germany vs. Paraguay; Netherlands vs. Morocco
The Round of 32 began with anything but a bang, as Canada struggled past South Africa in Los Angeles last night. But the name of the game in knockout rounds is often just to survive and advance, and that’s precisely what the hosts did thanks to a late goal form Stephen Eustaquio. Appropriately enough, Eustaquio […]
Sunderland strongly reject £8m Chelsea bid for Granit Xhaka – reports
Chelsea are interested in reuniting Granit Xhaka with incoming manager Xabi Alonso, to add a bit of leadership and experience to what is still a very young squad. Xhaka himself is said to be open to the idea, with some reports in the last 24 hours going as far as to claim that personal terms […]
2026 World Cup, Round of 32: South Africa vs. Canada
After 17 days of practically non-stop football, the group stage of the 2026 FIFA World Cup is over. Our world may feel a bit more empty now … though probably not as empty as for the one-third of the 48 qualified nations who are heading home. The remaining two-thirds move on to the Round of […]

Hmm Unreal Broken
Chelsea set £30m asking price for Trevoh Chalobah after £22m Como bid — report
According to multiple reports, Como 1907 have followed up their supposed interest in Trevoh Chalobah with an actual offer, but that offer falls short of Chelsea’s valuation for our defender. The Serie A hotshots have submitted a £22m bid, but presumably that got rejected as Chelsea are said to want £30m, plus another £5m in […]
Chelsea reach ‘full verbal agreement’ over personal terms with Granit Xhaka — reports
The hot rumor of the day involves none other than Granit Xhaka, with the likes of Sky Deutschland reporting that Chelsea have “full verbal agreement” over personal terms with the midfielder. (“Deal on”, says Fabrizio.) In a way, the only surprising thing about this development is that it took this long. After being hounded out […]
2026 World Cup, Day 17: Final games in Groups J, K, L
On the penultimate day of group stage play, we saw blockbuster showdowns, Cinderella stories, and plenty of late drama, especially in the Egypt vs. Iran game (which somehow didn’t result in a goal but was riveting television). With that match ending in a draw however, it were Belgium who snuck back into first place in […]

Wow Signing Hmm
Maxence Lacroix ‘expected’ to join Chelsea in €55m move after World Cup — report
Rumors this week proclaimed that Chelsea are “preparing to advance” our interest in Maxence Lacroix, Crystal Palace’s France international center back, who predates BlueCo in the Chelsea rumor mill by a whole year, but is now apparently the very top of our defensive reinforcements wishlist. While previous stories spoke highly of our interest, they did […]
2026 World Cup, Day 16: Final games in Groups G, H, I
We’re halfway through the last set of group games, and 16 of the 32 teams qualifying for the knockout rounds are now known — with three more already qualified just not exactly certain in which order. The US and Germany were already confirmed as group winners coming into yesterday, and they both ended up losing […]

Bid Rejected Hmm
Moisés Caicedo captains Ecuador in critical 2-1 win over Germany
Ecuador’s World Cup was not going accordingly to plan. La Tri had impressed in South American qualifiers, finishing second only to Argentina, hardly conceding any goals in the process. Great things were expected as a result at the tournament. There were questions about their attack, which was still led by a now 36-year-old Enner Valencia, […]
2026 World Cup, Day 15: Final games in Groups D, E, F
The first day of the final round of group games is in the books, and it largely went to form — Brazil, Switzerland, Mexico all winning their groups. But then, at the very end of the day, South Africa did something dramatic and historic, and managed to qualify for the knockout rounds for the first […]

Nice Hopefully, not us First look
Chelsea ‘preparing to advance’ interest in Maxence Lacroix — report
Somebody must have found the keys to the office and remembered the passwords to the computers as the Chelsea sporting directors, all seventeen* of them, have really gotten to work this week, wheeling and dealing and, in the case of Maxence Lacroix, “preparing to advance [our] interest”, as per The Telegraph. That may be generative […]
Real Madrid open talks with Enzo Fernández as Chelsea set £120m asking price — reports
Real Madrid have been playing it a bit coy with the whole Enzo Fernández situation, but the wheels now appear to be turning, with reports of talks underway between them and the player’s representatives. Enzo himself has made it pretty clear (without ever saying so specifically) that he would like to join the new Galacticos, […]
Chelsea set £75m asking price for Malo Gusto — report
The impending arrival of Marco Palestra from Atalanta — barring any last-minute dramatics — could leave us with one too many (nominal) right backs in the team. And while Palestra can also play on the left, and Reece James could certainly play more central (in either defense or midfield), it’s not at all surprising that […]
Como 1907 submit offer for Trevoh Chalobah; Chelsea interested in Jacobo Ramon — reports
According to Fabrizio Romano, Como have followed up their reported interest in Trevoh Chalobah with an “initial official bid”. The size of the bid is not specified, though Chelsea are said to be willing and open to a potential deal. With just two years left on his contract, Chalobah is one of the more moveable […]

2026 World Cup, Day 14: Final games in Groups A, B, C
It’s turned into a World Cup defined by the biggest stars: Messi, Mbappé, Haaland. Cristiano Ronaldo joined that party yesterday, on Day 13, grabbing a brace (and an assist in spirit) in Portugal’s 5-0 win over hapless Uzbekistan. England’s big star on the other hand, Harry Kane, failed to fire, as the Three Lions trudged […]
Chelsea, Atalanta agree Marco Palestra transfer — reports
Well, here’s a bolt out of the blue: Chelsea have agreed a deal with Atalanta for Marco Palestra! The Blues were barely linked to the young full back coming off his breakthrough season in the Serie A, but apparently we’ve hijacked Inter Milan’s move and have agreed a transfer package “in excess of €50m”. So […]
2026 World Cup, Day 13: Portugal vs. Uzbekistan; England vs. Ghana; Panama vs. Croatia; Colombia vs. DR Congo
The groups are starting to shape up and several teams have already booked their places in the Round of 32, some even as group winners. England could join that select group with another strong win today, but all four games could be quite interesting in their own regards. Let’s go! PORTUGAL vs. UZBEKISTAN The big […]
