Tiento & T-Model (1930)The first World Cup final didn't have one official ball. Argentina supplied their "Tiento" for the first half, and Uruguay used their heavier "T-Model" for the second. Uruguay came back to win after switching to their preferred ball, making for a unique start to World Cup history. 2. Adidas Telstar (1970)The iconic black-and-white ball debuted in Mexico.

Jude Bellingham Omitted from Latest England Squad

England manager Thomas Tuchel has left star midfielder Jude Bellingham out of his squad for the upcoming matches against Wales and Latvia. Bellingham, who was just named England Men's Player of the Year, missed the previous camp in September after shoulder surgery but has since returned to play for Real Madrid. Despite being fit, he was not included in the 24-man lineup. Tuchel explained his decision, stating he wanted to keep faith with the group that secured two wins last month. "It was only three weeks since the last camp... so the question was why not bring the same group in because they set the standard," he said. The squad sees the return of Arsenal's Bukayo Saka from injury. However, players like Cole Palmer, Phil Foden, and the injured Trent Alexander-Arnold were again not selected.

Crystal Palace’s Mateta Earns First France Call-Up

Crystal Palace striker Jean-Philippe Mateta has been called up to the French national team for the first time. The 28-year-old was included in coach Didier Deschamps' squad for the upcoming World Cup qualifiers against Azerbaijan and Iceland. Mateta's selection is a reward for his outstanding form. He has scored four goals in ten games this season for a Crystal Palace side that is currently third in the Premier League. Since the start of the last campaign, he has netted 32 times in the league. Deschamps explained the call-up, saying, "I like his profile. He has the ability to score goals." Mateta gets his chance due to injuries to several established forwards, including Ousmane Dembélé and Marcus Thuram. France leads its World Cup qualifying group and can secure early qualification with two wins in the upcoming matches.

FIFA U20 World Cup: Flying Eagles Fall 1–0 to Norway Despite Dominance

Nigeria’s Flying Eagles suffered a narrow 1–0 defeat to Norway in their opening Group match at the 24th FIFA U20 World Cup on Monday, despite creating several late chances to equalise. The Scandinavians struck early in the 9th minute from a controversial penalty, leaving Nigeria chasing the game. Ladan Bosso’s men responded strongly, but appeals for two penalties in the second half were waved away by the referee. The Flying Eagles came agonisingly close to scoring on multiple occasions: Kparobo Arierhi fired wide in the 47th minute with the goalkeeper beaten. Tahir Maigana rattled the upright in the 63rd minute before unleashing a long-range strike that flashed narrowly wide late on. Nasiru Salihu also tested the Norwegian defence with a powerful 71st-minute effort that sailed just over the bar. Despite sustained pressure and dominance in the closing stages, Nigeria could […]

‘No Panic’ at Chelsea Despite Mini-Slump, Says Maresca Ahead of Benfica Clash

Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca insists there is “no reason to panic” over the club’s recent poor run of form, as he prepares his side for a crucial Champions League fixture against Benfica at Stamford Bridge on Tuesday. The Blues began the season strongly, lifting the FIFA Club World Cup in July, but have since lost three of their past four matches in all competitions, including their Champions League opener against Bayern Munich. Speaking at a press conference on Monday, Maresca blamed Chelsea’s disciplinary problems for the dip in results, pointing out that four of their last five defeats came after red cards. “In football, you know better than me, football is a crazy world,” Maresca said. “If you lost five games in six months and you need to say things to defend yourself, that means it’s a crazy world. I […]

Ronaldo backs Neymar’s World Cup return, urges Ancelotti to recall star forward

Brazilian football legend Ronaldo Nazário has urged national team coach Carlo Ancelotti to bring Neymar Jr. back into the Selecão squad ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup in the United States, Canada, and Mexico. Neymar, Brazil’s all-time top scorer with 79 goals in 128 matches, has not featured for the national team since suffering a serious knee injury in October 2023. The 33-year-old forward returned to boyhood club Santos in January 2025 after an underwhelming spell with Saudi Arabian side Al Hilal, where injuries limited him to just five appearances and one goal. Despite regaining form in Brazil, Ancelotti has yet to call him up in his four matches in charge.
