World Cup Transfers Shatter Records (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The World Cup 2026 transfer window shattered records—267 players from 47 nations switched clubs, fueling a staggering $9.89 billion in international men’s deals and unprecedented growth in the women’s market. English clubs flexed their financial power, leading global spending, but the real game-changer was how World Cup stardom drove player valuations sky-high. Spain’s title win, breakout stars like Rodri and Ferran Torres, and Mbappé’s new all-time scoring record lit up not just the pitch, but
Jordan: I’m Jordan (opens the original)
Read excerpt
New York and New Jersey just dropped a bombshell: the World Cup brought in $3.55 billion for the region, smashing even the boldest projections. The NY/NJ Host Committee’s study reveals nearly two-thirds of that came straight from visitor spending on hotels, food, and more, with around 79% of match attendees coming from outside the region.

FIFA dropped a slew of disciplinary charges on Argentina’s federation and key players after post-game clashes, discriminatory chants, and political banners. With tempers flaring and stakes sky-high, the big question is whether FIFA’s sanctions will actually feel fair. If they go easy, expect cries of favoritism; if they come down hard, Buenos Aires will s
Trump Call Pauses Red Card Ban (opens the original)
Read excerpt
FIFA just threw the World Cup knockout stage into chaos by suspending a red-card ban for U.S. striker Folarin Balogun—right after a call from Donald Trump to FIFA president Gianni Infantino. Balogun was sent off on video review against Bosnia, but Article 27 let FIFA pause his ban, clearing him to face Belgium. Now, outrage is boiling over: Belgium’s football federation called the move “astonishing,” and UEFA claims FIFA has “crossed a red line.” The stakes? If FIFA can pause bans on a whim, eve
