Pablo Garcia of Betis could be a really fun player to watch in La Liga this season.

That will be an almost unimaginable keepsake for Archie Goodwin - scoring a header past 3 time Champions League winner, Keylor Navas.
I understand the astonishment at Salah joining Trabzonspor, but you’d be hard pressed to find a more fervent fanbase and a more spectacular game day experience.
90 mins of football. Got thumped. But megged 4 different dudes. Best way to start a weekend.
That was a sumptuous goal worthy of an All Star game. Gil & Son might want to play on the same team after this.
That Kahlina has been in MLS since 2022 without being an All-Star is truly bewildering.
Tagliafico may have gotten away with one or two, but he’s done very well to contain Lamine Yamal.
Tom Cruise and Madonna clearly involved in some sort of Faustian Bargain
Not sure any two national anthems are more representative of their teams’ playing styles as the Spanish and Argentine anthems.
Mbappe and France just wanted to give England a head start.
Declan Rice is going to dedicate that one to Graeme Souness
Do you know who would have won almost all of those aerial duels for #England ? Harry Maguire
Fortune favors the bold … #Argentina had to chase the game, but the intensity of their pursuit is astounding. Tuchel lost his nerve and #England retreated too early and too deep. Messi will get the plaudits, but this is about an incredible collective spirit.
Kane had been dropping deep in attempt to execute one of those plays a few times. Was afforded too much space that time. A bit of fortune, too. Gordon smart in his movement. Molina turned off for a split second. Early crosses have been a welcomed feature of this World Cup.
England’s players need to keep their wits about them. Argentina will try to draw them into retaliation. Fernandez should already be booked.
Truly remarkable that a terribly coached Portugal gave Spain more of a game than France.
To win, is one thing. To make France look pedestrian, is another. Formidable Spain.
Barcola had been tracking back the whole game. Doué just falls asleep.
I cannot think of many players more befitting Atletico Madrid than Morten Hjulmand. He’ll be beloved by fans and Diego Simeone.
While I’m a VAR proponent, I do feel like we’ve crossed the threshold where video reviews are becoming too intrusive. However, I’m ambivalent as to whether the Embolo decision falls under that category. After all, dives should be punished, and incorrect bookings rescinded.
Written in the stars, wasn’t it? Courtois out injured, and Lammens poorly beaten. Merino the best center-mid number 9 in world football.
Some teams just don’t know how to quit. Argentina is one of them. Fight till the very last millisecond. Admirable.
Beyond his incompetent team management, Roberto Martinez has also aided and abetted in the tainting of Cristiano Ronaldo’s legacy with Portugal.
