AFA president Claudio Tapia responded to the punishment FIFA handed Argentina over the incidents at the 2026 World Cup. The Argentine Football Association (AFA) wasted little time reacting to FIFA’s harsh punishment against Argentina, issuing a statement from Claudio Tapia’s offices confirming that the federation’s legal department will formally request the grounds for the sanctions in order to challenge them before FIFA’s Appeal Committee. “Given the notifications received, and in defense of the rights of the Association and its players, the AFA Legal Department will, in due time and form, request from FIFA the grounds for the rulings that are subject to review, in order to file appeals with the Appeal Committee of world football’s governing body, with the possibility of resorting to the CAS as a last instance remaining open in the future,” the official statement read. The federation’s priority is reducing the individual suspensions handed to Leandro Paredes, Nahuel Molina, Thiago Almada, and assistant coach Roberto Ayala, with the stated goal of ensuring each of them misses as few matches as possible heading into Argentina‘s upcoming fixtures. Given the length of Paredes’ (ten games) and Molina’s (seven games) bans in particular, any reduction would carry real weight for Lionel Scaloni as he plans his squad for the next international window. #Institucional Decisiones Comisión Disciplinaria de la FIFA – Mundial 2026📝https://t.co/UFhAlGmQ9r pic.twitter.com/bbOdAikCes— AFA (@afa) August 21, 2026 Should the initial appeal fail to produce results, AFA has made clear it won’t rule out escalating the case to the CAS as a final resort, a path the federation has only taken once before in recent memory, back in 2022, over a suspended match against Brazil.

Gareth Roberts, from The Late Challenge podcast, says Liverpool's attempts to sign Brighton winger Yankuba Minteh doesn't "signal intent" after the Reds had a £50m bid rejected.

It feels like a long time ago since Kylian Mbappé moved to Real Madrid on a free transfer, leaving behind a scent of opportunity that filled the nostrils of Marseille, Monaco and Lille.

Finishing second has now become an aspiration, especially for a club such as Marseille, given their predicament. Continue reading...
