England beat France in an absolute goalfest to finish third at the 2026 FIFA World Cup
Third-place games at the FIFA World Cup tend to go only one of two ways. All the pressure’s off and teams generally just want to be home … so the game turns into either an absolute non-event, or, if we’re lucky, a fun exhibition where both teams showcase a bit of the beautiful game under […]
Chelsea, Aston Villa reach verbal agreement for £117m Morgan Rogers transfer — report
Here’s a (massive) bit of exclusive news hot off the presses from The Athletic’s David Ornstein to un-quieten your otherwise quite quiet Saturday: Chelsea are set to sign Morgan Rogers! On a club-record fee. This is not a drill. According to the report, Chelsea have reached a “verbal agreement” with Aston Villa over a transfer […]

2026 World Cup, third place game: France vs England
The World Cup is one of the last remaining knockout competitions to insist on holding a third-place game for the two losers of the semifinals. Occasionally, this might have some meaning for a team who may have overachieved just to get to the final four, and could thus still finish with a rewarding win. But […]

Trevoh Chalobah ‘talks continue’ between Como and Chelsea — report
Serie A upstarts Como 1907 have followed up their interest in Trevoh Chalobah with a bid or two over the past few weeks, but evidently none of those offers have met our asking price (whatever that asking price may be). According to Ben Jacobs, the Blues have “now rejected two bids” from the Champions League-bound […]

Enzo Fernández scores as Argentina beat England to reach World Cup final
Chelsea’s Captain and Chelsea’s Vice-captain faced off in the semifinals of the 2026 World Cup, in a match that had many more bigger storylines around it, but in the end will be likely remembered for yet another scintillating comeback from the never-say-die boys of Argentina. Or, if you’re England, will be remembered for going far […]
2026 World Cup, semifinal: England vs. Argentina
To some extent, today’s game feels like the final already. Not necessarily because I’d expect either to beat Spain the actual final, but the sense of occasion, rivalry, and the potential drama is at the highest levels already. And we haven’t even kick a ball in anger, yet. That said, I’m just hoping for a […]
Chelsea, RC Strasbourg exploring Gaga Slonina move — reports
International goalkeeper of mystery Gabriel “Gaga” Slonina is expected to be leaving Chelsea this summer, but he may not be going very far (at least logistically speaking). According to multiple reports, the 22-year-old may be the latest Chelsea goalkeeper to make the switch, at least temporarily, to RC Strasbourg, following in the footsteps of Đorđe […]

2026 World Cup, semifinal: France vs. Spain
We’ve reached the final four of the 2026 World Cup, and what a final four it is! Footballing superpowers in all four corners; all previous winners: in fact, it’s three of the last four champions (Spain in 2010, France in 2018, Argentina in 2022), plus England and their long drought dating back to 1966. The […]
Rayo Vallecano holding out for full release clause on Pep Chavarría — reports
Chelsea “opened talks” with Rayo Vallecano a couple weeks ago regarding a potential transfer Pep Chavarría, but so far we seem to be making very little, if any progress. That’s not for a lack of trying: according to reports yesterday, the Blues have made at least one offer, meeting Rayo’s €15m asking price. But Rayo […]

Official: Manchester United sign Andrey Santos from Chelsea
Andrey Santos has completed his £50m move to Manchester United, which was agreed last week. The 22-year-old midfielder has signed a five-year contract at Old Trafford. There’s been a rather visceral reaction to this transfer, but at the end of the day, Santos was third-choice in midfield at best, behind both Moisés Caicedo and Enzo […]

England, Argentina both advance to the 2026 World Cup semifinals
The final four of the 2026 World Cup is set, and it’s a rather stacked final four that includes the two finalists from the last Euros and the two finalists from the last World Cup. Despite all the shocks and surprises and drama of this World Cup, the four semifinalists are just about the four […]

Alejandro Garnacho not in training and ‘keen to leave’ as Chelsea set €50m asking price — reports
Chelsea have begun preseason preparations at Cobham this week, with manager Xabi Alonso getting to work and joined by all those players who were not involved in the World Cup (or those who are still there of course). One surprise absentee however has been Alejandro Garnacho, who joined the Blues just last summer for a […]
2026 World Cup, quarterfinals: England vs. Norway; Argentina vs. Switzerland
Two massive games on tap today at the World Cup, with the defending champions and the ever-hopeful Three Lions both in action. The first two quarterfinals were lacking a bit in overall entertainment: France were never threatened by Morocco in that Mbappé-inspired 2-0 win while Spain are like a relentless machine at this point, slowly […]

Official: KV Kortrijk sign Harrison Murray-Campbell on loan from Chelsea
Preparations for the upcoming season are starting to get under way all across Europe, which means that we need to start getting a move on with a whole bunch of transfer and loan business. Here’s one complete from yesterday, with many more to go for players waiting to resolve their futures. The immediate future for […]
2026 World Cup, quarterfinals: Spain vs. Belgium
I was very much hoping that this game would be Spain vs. USA, in which case I would’ve made every effort to attend. Alas, it was not meant to be. The USMNT were a massive disappointment in the Round of 16, losing to a Belgium side that had struggled to impress consistently. They needed a […]

PICTURES: First day of 2026-27 preseason
The boys are back in town — or at least those boys who were not at the World Cup (or those still at the World Cup, obviously) — and we’ve also got the new gaffer taking charge of his first official training as Chelsea boss. Though it may be a bit hard to spot him: […]
