Gianni Infantino explored a plan for a 211-team Under-15 World Cup, with an opening match between countries at war and ceremonies at Disneyland. According to Goal, the proposal was backed by private investors and drew on the Little League model before being shelved ahead of the 2026 World Cup.
Sandro Tonali’s Tottenham debut was branded a disaster after he struggled to influence the match and even drew ironic cheers for one first-half effort. According to the BBC, the £100 million signing was invisible for long stretches, a verdict that quickly became the focus of the discussion.
Hull City opened their Premier League campaign with a 2–0 win over Manchester United, scoring through Semi Ajayi and Nobel Mendy before defending the lead under heavy pressure. United had 71.7 percent possession and 21 shots, but Hull’s compact low block limited them to five efforts on target while goalkeeper Konstantinos Tzolakis made five saves.
FIFA president Gianni Infantino has reportedly been asked to stay away from a youth tournament, as opposition grows over his proposed World Cup sell-off plan. According to Sky News, the request is being seen as a sign of deepening divisions around FIFA’s leadership.
