What was Tuchel thinking?! England made to pay for terrible tactics

  1. Never write Argentina off! Messi magic helps seal spot in final

    Every time Lionel Messi got near the ball, the crowd in Atlanta held its breath. It wouldn't take much to feel the room shift during the first hour or so of Argentina's clash with England, just a brief moment where the Argentinian icon drifted into enough space to maybe, perhaps, do something. As the game wore on, those moments became more tense. Down a goal late, the moments where the air left the crowd were less about anticipating magic and more about a potential reality setting in.

  2. Spain are going to take some stopping after France fall flat

    Against all the odds and pre-match conjecture, it is Spain who progressed to the final of the 2026 World Cup after overcoming France and their fabled forward line with alarming ease in Dallas on Tuesday. It was quite incredible just how routine the 2-0 victory was, with the likes of Kylian Mbappe, Michael Olise and Ousmane Dembele all failing to show up as the tournament favourites bowed out with a whimper.

  3. Spain are in the final! Rodri runs the show as La Roja advance

    Spain secured their place in the 2026 World Cup final with a comprehensive 2-0 win over France on Tuesday. A penalty from Mikel Oyarzabal and a second-half strike from Pedro Porro secured victory for La Roja during a dominant display in Dallas that will have struck fear into both England and Argentina as they prepare for their own semi-final.

Expert Opinion & Analysis

  1. Will signing Putellas & Co. lead to long-term London City success?

    It's official: Alexia Putellas is a London City Lionesses player. Michele Kang has lured some top talent to the club since taking over during the 2023-24 season, from five-time European champion Saki Kumagai to Sweden icon Kosovare Asllani, with a world-record fee paid for Grace Geyoro just last summer, too. But Putellas is a dream signing and the biggest indication yet that this project should be taken very seriously.

  2. Slow summer puts United at risk of falling further behind WSL elite

    It's been a hectic summer transfer window so far in the women's game, especially in the Women's Super League. Two-time Ballon d'Or winner Alexia Putellas has landed in the division, as has one of the NWSL's brightest stars in Manaka Matsukubo, while Georgia Stanway and Mary Earps have returned and other England stars, such as Beth Mead and Niamh Charles, have also been on the move. None of these eye-catching deals, though, have involved Manchester United.

  3. Bring it on! England have nothing to fear against Argentina

    It's testament to the progress that England have made over the last decade that, in the eyes of many, they will be favourites when they come up against World Cup holders Argentina in the semi-finals of the 2026 edition on Wednesday. Of course, a side containing the great Lionel Messi still poses an existential threat to the Three Lions' chances of ending six decades of hurt, but Thomas Tuchel's men have nothing to fear in Atalanta.

  1. Diani follows Putellas & Earps to London City in blockbuster signing

    Kadidiatou Diani has become London City Lionesses' sixth signing of the summer, following Alexia Putellas, Mary Earps and more to a club that could be a serious threat for the Women's Super League title in just its second season in the division. Diani joins for a fee reported to be in excess of £500,000 ($670,000) from Lyon, the eight-time European champions also owned by London City owner Michele Kang.

  2. Arsenal beat Barca, Man Utd & Bayern to sign highly-rated Baum

    Lisa Baum has been unveiled as Arsenal's fifth summer signing, joining for a significant six-figure fee that is reportedly a club-record sale for RB Leipzig. The 19-year-old had been linked with most of Europe's elite, including Barcelona, Lyon, Bayern Munich and Manchester United, but will instead reinforce the wide areas at Arsenal after the departure of Lionesses star Beth Mead.

  3. Keating joins Liverpool after rejecting new Man City contract

    Lionesses goalkeeper Khiara Keating has joined Liverpool after rejecting a new contract at Manchester City. The England international found game time hard to come by last year, leading to her being left out of some of Sarina Wiegman's squads. With the Women's World Cup less than a year away, she has now chosen to move on from the club she joined aged 11 to sign for the Reds.
