World Cup 2026: England have training equipment stolen

England are victims of a theft of their training equipment before their arrival in Kansas City on Saturday.

Edited June 13Jun 13 by CowTzy was here

I assume today's schedule was to avoid clashes with NBA Finals (despite a completely different demographic)? Hopefully it won't make it to Game 7.

Fifa is seeking an explanation over a hand gesture made by video assistant referee Shaun Evans before Germany's 7-1 win over Curacao on Sunday.

Before matches during the World Cup, Fifa has been briefly focusing on the officials as part of its world feed global coverage.

First, the referee, and the rest of his team, have walked to the touchline and a graphic has been displayed with their names and roles.

Then the picture has cut to a shot of the VAR team at the referee hub in Dallas.

Rather than showing them at work and looking at their monitors, they have also briefly posed for the camera and their names have appeared on screen.

When the camera cut to the VAR room on Sunday, Evans was standing with his arm by his side - and then could be seen making the fingers of his right hand into a upside down 'OK' sign.

When I did this EA Sports Predictor, I ended up going for Spain to win the whole thing.

You can nearly see the contempt that the bbc pundits are showing to being in Salford covering games compared to itv 😂

Sabri Lamouchi has been sacked by Tunisia after just one game at the World Cup.

Aaargh the matches are coming in too quick and fast, hadn't quite realised there'd be more than three a day! Very hard to keep up.

haven't changed since they went viral during their loss against Belgium 8 years ago x

If anything there's an expectation now 😅

First time since June 15 1958 that there were four draws in World Cup on the same day.

I was actually thinking when was the last time that happened or if it had ever happened.

Do you know what the record is for most consecutive draws?

The exact same date! Spooky.

I don't know if anyone has mentioned it yet, but two records were set during yesterday's Spain - Cape Verde match. Cape Verde committed just one foul, the fewest ever recorded by a team in World Cup game. Meanwhile, Spain's Mikel Oyarzabal spent 30 minutes on the pitch without a single touch of the ball, which is another record.

The Cape Verde one is especially impressive considering how little they had the ball and how much defending they needed to do!

As for the other one, that's literally playing with 10-men 😆

Assume this stat is meant to be 15th June 1966 or was it the Euros in 68 that that happened?
