Belgium take strength from ‘millions and millions’ of new fans before Spain clash

Rudi Garcia says his team can benefit from Balogun red card saga‘Everyone is talking about us going home but we can do it,’ coach saysRudi Garcia has claimed that Belgium have got “millions and millions” of new supporters after Donald Trump lobbied Fifa to overturn Folarin Balogun’s red card ahead of their victory against the USA in the last 16 – and that they will take “incredible strength” from that against Spain in their quarter-final. The Belgium coach also insisted that he has faith in his team, even though “everyone thinks we are going home”. Garcia, after all, has a not-so-secret weapon sitting on the bench: when striker Romelu Lukaku is introduced, he said, opponents “quake in their boots”.Trump boasted that he had phoned Fifa to get Balogun’s punishment put on hold after the direct red card he was shown against Bosnia and Herzegovina. But despite Fifa’s unprecedented decision to suspended the striker’s ban for a year, Belgium still defeated the USA 4-1. At full-time, the Belgium football federation’s social media accounts declared “overturn this” and players celebrated by parodying Trump’s dance. Garcia also confirmed that he had spoken to Balogun, telling him he could not be blamed for Trump’s lobbying or Fifa’s willingness to cede to it. Continue reading...

Mbappé slams ‘brazen racism’ from Paraguay senator following World Cup match

French striker Kylian Mbappé has issued a blistering response to reported racist comments attributed to a Paraguayan senator in online reports.“Madame Celeste Amarilla, you are a despicable woman and unworthy of your position. You do not represent Paraguay, that country which has sweated passion and honour throughout the competition,” Mbappé shared on X on Monday.The comments followed online reports of racist statements about Mbappé shared by an X account attributed to Amarilla (@CelesteSenadora).One post on the account read: “Bruto didn't even learn to write; instead of mother's milk, he sucked on coconuts, and the most educated thing he heard were chimpanzees.”The comments were shared on Saturday following France’s 1-0 win over Paraguay in their World Cup Round of 16 match.Other posts on the page read: “Colonised Cameroonian, pretending hard to be French, resentful, newly rich, arrogant, and ugly. He was nervous and scared to death the whole match, like his entire team; they couldn't even score a goal, they won by a fluke.”Mbappé was born in Paris, France, to a father of Cameroonian heritage.The footballer, in his response, chided the senator for the comments, which he said have now overshadowed Paraguay’s World Cup journey.“Through your recklessness and your brazen racism, the entire world has already forgotten the journey and the historic effort that your players accomplished during this World Cup, making way for an incompetent woman who gives the worst possible image of her country,” he said.“I will never allow people like her the freedom to spread their hatred and racism across the world,” Mbappé concluded.
