Belgium head coach, Rudi Garcia, on his conversation with Folarin Balogun after the match: "He came to talk to me. I really liked that. It is not his fault; he is not the one to blame -- that's what I told him. I really appreciate the intention that he came to see me. I appreciate this player." #monaco #belgium #usmnt #fwc2026 #fifa 📹: FIFA MEDIA

Roberto Martínez, Portugal's coach, on VAR, technology, and the role it played in the disallowed goal against Croatia: "This is one of those examples where technology helps the game, because it was offside. There is no subjective opinion. I think you think. NO. It is offside. Why? The chip in the ball showed that it was Matanović's touch, then Renato Veiga's touch... The decisions and the technology today, I think they were all correct." #croatia #portugal #VAR #worldCUP #WorldCup | #HrabarBroj | #PokažiSrce | #Family | #Vatreni ❤️🔥 📹: FIFA MEDIA

Cabo Verde manager Bubista spoke about the level of pride he has for his team after an incredible run in this edition of the World Cup: "Well, first of all, good evening. First things first: I feel pride in my players and in what they did. They did it with dignity and courage. And also a word to our opponent, Argentina. I think they showed why they're world champions. I think I can say our team showed how willing they were to play this game, to play this match. I don't think any other team could have scored two goals against Argentina and then taken the match into extra time. I think that shows the character of our team, how skilled our team was throughout most of the match. We knew the quality of our opponent. It was going to be a tough match, as it truly proved to be against Argentina. But I think we did our best, and we did it with bravery. And we never failed to stay true to our identity, which is why I'm so proud of what my players did throughout the match. Obviously, at times during the match, you have to have courage and you have to be well-organized because of how skilled your opponent is. But I think that being able to equalize against Argentina twice, after falling behind, shows how resilient our team is and how strong our character is as well." Much to be proud about for Cabo Verde. #FIFAWorldCup | #FIFAWorldCup2026 | #CaboVerde | #TubarõesAzuis | #WeAreCaboVerde #argentina #messi #capeverde 📹: FIFA MEDIA

He could have spent all of his interview talking about himself, his brace, and his performance; instead, he spent over 60% of his time on air praising his teammate, Malik Jakupovic, for his work rate, effort during practice, and their growth together in MLS NEXT PRO. Class. #doop #MLS #MCFC #USMNT #USYMNT 📹: APPLE|MLS

It was offside, but here is a perfect example of what a 6'7" defender can do for you defensively. The way that Pierre eats the space ahead of him to deal with this, never mind the perfect tackle. Incredible stuff from Pierre. #doop #USMNT #USYMNT 📹: APPLE|MLS

"He is a fighter. He is a warrior. It is difficult to find this type of player. It is difficult to find this type of player, with a tremendous quality with the ball... To have a player like this is fantastic news for the USA. I hope that he continues in that way, growing." Pochettino on Cavan Sullivan and his efforts in the match, including his pressing and, ultimately, his goal on the night. #usmnt #doop #MLS #USYMNT 📹:US Soccer

"A couple of decisions that were made are questionable... Sincerely, the fourth and fifth officials were great. They were seeing the same things that I was seeing. I had really calm and collected discussions with them, but are the referees of today up to the task of a semifinal? I hope someone has the answer for us." French national team coach Didier Deschamps after the match, commenting on the refereeing crew, which featured an all-CONCACAF team of three officials on the field. #france #spain #España #fraesp #espfra #lesblues #fifaworldcup #CONCACAF 📹: FIFA MEDIA

"If we inspired just a few kids throughout this journey, then we did something right." Tyler Adams on the message that Mauricio Pochettino shared with the team after the defeat against Belgium: "Yeah, that tonight can't be a direct reflection of what we were trying to accomplish. Because, again, you have good days and you have bad days. And today was one of our bad days, and it got the best of us. I think we came out here with the ambition that we could go really far in this tournament. We didn't, obviously, go as far as we'd like. That being said, if we inspired just a few kids throughout this journey, then we did something right. I wish we could have won tonight. The fans deserved it. The support that we've had over the past few weeks, they deserve it. The people back home deserve it. So, yeah, I can't thank the fans enough. I can't thank this coaching staff, the support staff, and everyone that supported us throughout this journey enough. They've helped us grow, and we've gone through tough times and amazing times throughout this journey. Right now is a tough time, but we'll grow from it." #usmnt #usa #belgium #fwc2026 #MLS #fifa 📹: FIFA MEDIA

“I am competitive. Everyone knows I am competitive. I'll push myself to whatever the highest level is. I see myself playing for the US at some point. I love this country and it would be an honor for me to represent it.” With 16 goals this season, nine of them coming during the Union’s 12-match unbeaten streak, Milan Iloski spoke about his interest in someday representing the United States. #doop #MLS #USMNT #MACEDONIA 📹: Jillian All-$$ cc: American Ultras Talk - Edgar 🇺🇸 🇲🇽

Kai Wagner’s debut in the EFL Championship was memorable for all the right reasons. Seventy minutes of play, an assist, and plenty of fight from the German as Birmingham City took down table leaders Coventry City. Highlights of his debut below. #doop #bcfc #MLS #germany 📹: Paramount +

Ok. So, it is very early and I'm only catching up now. If I got this right: 0. The organizers of the event took government money to facilitate the event, fully knowing that Messi playing was key to the money being awarded as a grant. 1. Messi and Suarez were injured, but Martino never mentioned to the organizers that they wouldn't play. The game was held without warning fans that the main reason they were there was not going to feature. 2. David Beckham was booed during the award ceremony for this friendly. 3. Martino acknowledges the failure in letting folks know Messi was not going to play. 4. They play Japan's Vissel Kobe on Wednesday after embarrassing losses and a win in Hong Kong. Yup, this preseason tour is going great and leaving a wonderful image of MLS to the rest of the world. Well done, Inter Miami. #InterMiamiCF | #mls Inter Miami CF 📷:CNN and Joel Chan

Neil Pierre, during today’s media availability at #USMNT camp, spoke about the Union’s turnaround and the role that Ryan Richter has played in righting the ship: “I definitely see Ryan Richter and the whole club’s kind of turned everything around, from obviously me and the youngsters to Kai [Wagner] and everyone. I think the biggest thing was fixing the locker room and stuff like that. And I think the first thing he came in was like, ‘Hey, we’re good enough. This is a whole new season.’ So I think that kind of led us in the right way. And then with the youngsters, we still do side things like, ‘You guys are good enough to play. I have the confidence in you guys.’ And I think when you have confidence, like, the ceiling is, there’s no ceiling. So I think when he gave me that, I guess, words of confidence, I think it was the biggest thing for me for the second half of the season to do well.” #doop #MLS #USYMNT 📹: US Soccer
