Shortly after Tonda Eckert had hightailed it out of the tetchiest of post-match press conferences, staring fixedly at the floor, Kim Hellberg made his anger plain. A playoff semi-final first leg dominated largely by the sweet-passing Middlesbrough was always likely to be overshadowed by the espionage scandal that preceded it and so it proved.Southampton are enveloped in a thoroughly unedifying episode with Middlesbrough accusing one of their analysts of spying on a training session that has resulted in a misconduct charge from the English Football League.

Lionel Messi hailed Lamine Yamal as the most similar player to him from his Barcelona days. The connection between these players keeps growing, as they are among the most talented to emerge in years. Lionel Messi has always praised the Barcelona star whenever he gets the chance, and this time he chose Lamine Yamal as the player who looks the most like him during an Adidas event. Messi said: “There’s a new generation of players that’s very good and has many years ahead, but if I have to choose one for his age, for what he has done so far and for the future he could have, it’s Yamal. There’s no doubt, he’s the best.” Even if these two have not faced each other on the field since the cancellation of the Finalissima, the respect between them is clear as Messi has consistently supported Barcelona’s young heir. Messi compared to Yamal Longevity may be a major advantage for Messi, since he is still making a difference 20 years after his debut. But the comparison goes the other way when you look at the start of their careers, where Yamal has been far more productive early on. Yamal was decisive in the Euro for Spain (Justin Setterfield/Getty Images) Yamal turns 19 in July, but he will not play another match for Barcelona before then, so his current club record stands at 151 appearances and 49 goals. He was also last year’s Ballon d’Or runner-up. Messi was expected to be great from a young age, but he did not become a regular first-team player until the 2006-07 season, after his 19th birthday. At the same age Yamal is now, Messi had played 34 matches and scored nine goals. More differences with their respective countries The gap in club appearances is significant, but it is even larger at international level. Yamal was called up to Spain’s senior team at 16 years and 50 days, and even in a very strong national side he became decisive in their 2024 European Championship title run. Messi was part of Argentina’s 2006 World Cup squad as a substitute, and had played six matches at age 19.
Gianni Infantino left a sarcastic comment about the 2026 World Cup ticket prices that wasn't applauded by fans. With the 2026 World Cup approaching, the main topic for fans is the high ticket prices. Some matches have astronomical prices, which is not a problem for FIFA president Gianni Infantino because people are still buying them. At a recent event, he even made an unfortunate joke. Infantino said: “We are in a market where entertainment is the most developed in the world. That’s why we must apply market prices. If some people put on the resale market, some tickets for the final at $2m, it doesn’t mean that the tickets cost $2m. It doesn’t mean that somebody will buy these tickets. And if somebody buys a ticket for the final for $2m I will personally bring him a hot dog and a Coke to make sure that he has a great experience.” This came in response to what was recently seen on the institution’s official website. The site showed four tickets for the final for sale at a price of two million dollars each. While the product on the field could be great, the prices are keeping some people away. Infantino on the World Cup of 48 teams The most notable change this World Cup will see compared to every edition since France 1998 is the number of teams, which was increased from the usual 32 to 48 in a decision that created many logistical issues. Infantino made the change to 48 teams (Chip Somodevilla/Getty Images) This time there may be even more matches with huge differences as weaker teams are going to be participating compared with past editions, but the president raised the topic to suggest he would like more champions. Infantino said: “We don’t want investors to invest in just one place. We want real competition because that’ll help everyone grow. I want 50 countries to be world champions from the 211 that FIFA groups.” Infantino on the United States’ lack of success The FIFA president spoke at the Milken Institute Global Conference in Los Angeles. His comments were also directed at the lack of success in soccer that the United States has. Infantino said: “The United States is the number 1 country in the world in practically everything it does: finance, economy, everything. I don’t understand how it can settle for being number 20 in the world’s number 1 sport.”
