Why is Casemiro unavailable for Inter Miami vs Chicago Fire despite being announced?
Despite being announced on Wednesday, Casemiro won't be able to take part in Inter Miami's clash against the Chicago Fire. Casemiro has officially completed his move to Inter Miami following the 2026 World Cup, arriving on a free transfer after his contract with Manchester United expired at the end of last season. However, despite being officially unveiled by the Herons, the Brazilian midfielder will not be eligible to make his MLS debut Wednesday night against the Chicago Fire. Casemiro is sidelined for the midweek clash as he awaits the final processing of his P-1 athletic visa. While the veteran midfielder has been granted permission to attend the match at Nu Stadium and watch from the team box, league regulations prohibit him from dressing or taking the pitch until his work permit is fully cleared. Inter Miami has not provided an exact timeline for when Casemiro’s documentation will be finalized. The Herons are scheduled to hit the road to face CF Montreal this coming Saturday, July 25, with head coach Guillermo Hoyos hopeful that the administrative hurdles will be resolved in time for the Brazilian to make his debut. Speaking to Inter Miami’s official website, Casemiro opened up about his decision to cross the Atlantic and join the South Florida franchise: “What motivates me the most, and I think this is true for every player, is winning and continuing to grow. The project the Club presented to me, along with the effort everyone made to bring me here, means a lot to me.” A new No. 5 is in the 305. @Casemiro is Home. 🙌 pic.twitter.com/VNL4FeHgub— Inter Miami CF (@InterMiamiCF) July 22, 2026 Inter Miami facing MLS tampering investigation over Casemiro deal The excitement surrounding Casemiro’s arrival was quickly met with league scrutiny, as Major League Soccer released a concurrent statement confirming an investigation into the Florida club. Because the LA Galaxy originally held Casemiro’s “Discovery Rights,” MLS rules strictly prohibit rival clubs from contacting or negotiating with players on another team’s discovery list without prior clearance. The official statement from Major League Soccer read: “Major League Soccer is reviewing a tampering allegation against Inter Miami CF. The league is gathering all relevant information and will refrain from further comment until the review is complete. While Inter Miami CF and the LA Galaxy have reached a settlement for the discovery priority to sign Casemiro, the terms will be released upon conclusion of the tampering investigation.“ Additionally, Inter Miami has kept financial details close to the chest, though Casemiro is not expected to occupy a Designated Player slot, as all three roster spots are currently filled by Lionel Messi, Rodrigo De Paul, and Germán Berterame. What has been confirmed is the structure of his contract, which runs through May 2027 at the conclusion of the MLS Spring Season, with a club option to extend through June 2029. The LA Galaxy also acknowledged the situation in a brief statement, deferring further comment until the league completes its inquiry: “The LA Galaxy and Inter Miami CF have reached a settlement for the Discovery priority to sign Casemiro, and the terms will be released upon conclusion of the tampering investigation currently open with Major League Soccer.“

Sign Gueye as Casemiro's replacement? Free agents and who to avoid
Michael: Idrissa Gueye from Everton would be a perfect fit. Free agent, central defensive midfielder that is very good defensively and can control play. Tim: Given Ugarte's injury, surely Goretzka for free with a couple of other central midfield signings brings a bit of experience and squad depth.
Video: Erling Haaland scores twice to eliminate Brazil from the 2026 World Cup
With a stunning brace against Brazil, Erling Haaland gave Norway the ticket to the 2026 World Cup quarterfinals. Norway clashed with Brazil on Sunday in a heavyweight Round of 16 battle, fighting for a coveted spot in the 2026 FIFA World Cup quarterfinals at MetLife Stadium. Breaking the late-game deadlock with a magnificent aerial effort and then with a powerful strike, Erling Haaland powered the Scandinavian side ahead while capturing his seventh goal of the tournament. Following a brilliant sequence of build-up play that saw Norway switch the point of attack from right to left, Andreas Schjelderup collected the ball in the final third and utilized a slick dynamic move to open up a crossing window. Waiting in the penalty area was Haaland, who completely lost his marker, Gabriel, before launching into a stunning header that beat the keeper to open the scoring in the 80th minute.

This time, the Benfica winger slipped a clever pass across the edge of the 18-yard box to find the striker, who utilized two touches to set himself up before unleashing a spectacular, angled cross-body strike into the far corner to extend the lead to two. ERLING HAALAND IS BRILLIANT TO BAG HIS BRACE AND PUT NORWAY UP 2-0 🇳🇴 pic.twitter.com/QA4bZE5DCe— FOX Sports (@FOXSports) July 5, 2026 Neymar threw Brazil a desperate late lifeline by calmly burying a penalty kick in the 100th minute after Leo Ostigard was whistled for a foul on Casemiro inside the 18-yard box. However, immediately after play resumed from the center circle, the referee blew the final whistle to end the match, officially sealing Brazil’s shocking elimination and cementing a historic 2-1 upset victory for the celebratory Norwegian squad. Both goals allowed Haaland to continue building his legendary resume, both for his national program and on the sport’s biggest international stage. Despite previously missing the group-stage showdown against France, these decisive strikes against Brazil brings the Manchester City superstar’s staggering tally to seven goals in just four career World Cup appearances. World Cup Golden Boot Race hotter than ever As the single-elimination knockout rounds of the 2026 World Cup heat up, the elite goalscorers who dominated the headlines during the group stage have continued to pack the scoresheet under the brightest lights. As it stands right now, Lionel Messi, Kylian Mbappe, and Erling Haaland are locked in a dramatic three-way tie with seven goals apiece, sharing custody of the tournament’s prestigious Golden Boot race. Mbappe already delivered his clutch moment of the Round of 16 by coolly converting a decisive penalty kick in France’s tense 1-0 victory over Paraguay, while Haaland exploded for a magnificent brace to dismantle Brazil. Consequently, Messi remains the only superstar among the leading trio with a game in hand for this round, as he prepares to lead Argentina against Egypt this coming Tuesday in search of both a quarterfinal berth and a chance to break away from his French and Norwegian counterparts.
World Cup Chaos: Three Giants Fall in 24 Hours of Round of 32 Madness
Rabona TV reviews a brutal day of 2026 World Cup knockouts as Germany, the Netherlands, and Japan are dumped out of the tournament.

On the latest edition of Rabona TV, Adrian Sousa delivers a comprehensive post-mortem on a historic matchday defined by penalty heartbreak and stoppage-time drama. Listen to the full tactical breakdown on Spotify to see who survives the carnage. The most stunning headline of the day came from Boston, where Paraguay pulled off the biggest upset of the tournament by eliminating four-time champions Germany. After grinding out a 1-1 draw through extra time, the match went to a tense penalty shootout. Highlighting the dramatic conclusion, German penalty specialist Kai Havertz missed his opening spot-kick, and goalkeeper Orlando Gill made critical stops to hand Germany its first World Cup shootout loss in history, sealed by José Canale’s sudden-death winner. The penalty shootout misery spread to the Netherlands as well. The Dutch fell victim to a highly organized Moroccan side, bowing out in a dramatic shootout following a scoreless stalemate. The result marks the earliest World Cup exit in Dutch football history, while Morocco locks in a highly anticipated Round of 16 date. The only favorite to survive the day’s slate was Brazil, though they had to fight through pure anxiety against Japan. The Samurai Blue took a shock first-half lead through Kaishū Sano before Casemiro found a second-half equalizer. Just as the match seemed destined for extra time, substitute Gabriel Martinelli popped up in the 96th minute to slide home a dramatic, breathtaking match-winner to rescue a -1 victory for the Seleção.

Ancelotti explains decision to leave Neymar on the bench in Brazil’s win over Japan: ‘I didn’t want to change the structure’
Neymar didn't play in Brazil's win over Japan in the Round of 32, and Carlo Ancelotti explained the reason behind his absence. Brazil secured their place in the 2026 World Cup Round of 16 with a 2-1 win over Japan, but the headline coming out of the match centered on Carlo Ancelotti’s decision to keep Neymar on the bench for the entirety of the match. Afterwards, the Italian coach explained that he had a specific plan in mind for the Brazilian superstar that ultimately wasn’t needed. “I was waiting for extra time to bring on Neymar. I spoke with him. If we weren’t winning, or if the match was still tied, he was coming on in the 60th or 65th minute. But we were ahead, and I didn’t want to change the structure, because the team had control of the game,” Ancelotti said. During the match, Ancelotti brought on Endrick at the start of the second half, then introduced Gabriel Martinelli in the 66th minute. The Arsenal forward ended up being decisive, scoring the late winning goal that sent Brazil through to the next round. Ancelotti also addressed Lucas Paqueta and Casemiro, who left the field with some physical discomfort. “We have to evaluate them tomorrow, it was a very demanding match,” the coach said regarding the two midfielders.

Whether Ancelotti’s side draw the Ivorians or Erling Haaland’s Norway, Brazil will know their next opponent only after that tie is settled, with both nations carrying genuine attacking threats that could pose a very different kind of challenge than the one Japan presented.
