Pogba returns to French football
Despite beginning his youth career at Le Havre, Pogba has never played club football in France. His professional career includes two stints at Manchester United, including a then-record £89.3 million transfer in 2016. While he initially impressed in England, his second spell was less successful. Pogba returned to Juventus in 2022 on a free transfer but was plagued by injuries and inconsistent performances prior to his suspension.

Ex-England coach Gareth Southgate receives knighthood
Windsor: Former England men's senior football manager Sir Gareth Southgate has received a knighthood at Windsor Castle for his services to football. After leading England to four major tournaments and overseeing two EURO Finals and a World Cup semifinal appearance, Southgate has been awarded a knighthood, having previously been made an OBE in 2019. The 53-year-old joined the team in 2016 after they had suffered an embarrassing defeat against Iceland in the Round of 16 at the 2016 Euros. Under his regime, England became one of the best defensive setups in the world, and although his 102-game tenure ended without a trophy, he will be remembered as one of the best managers in the country's history, with two Euro finals appearances and one semi-final appearance in the 2018 World Cup. 'It's an amazing privilege. I have to say I am more emotional than I thought I would be, but it was an amazing experience for my whole family. The lovely thing is you get to meet amazing people who have done amazing things for the country. The prince is a huge supporter of the England team. We have been fortunate to share some amazing moments and some unfortunate ones as well,' said Southgate to Sky Sports. Southgate also reflected on his tenure as the England head coach. 'Not quite where we wanted to get to in the end, but still, it was a period of consistency in English football. The journey we went on with the fans and team, working with a special group of players and staff. Of course, the games are important, but the relationships you build are really special,' he added. Southgate also has 57 caps and two goals for England as a player in a decade-long career from 1995-2004. He has also managed the England U-21 team from 2013 to 2016. He also had a lengthy club career playing for Crystal Palace (1988-95), Aston Villa (1995-2001) and Middlesbrough (2001-2006), making 503 appearances in all and scoring 26 goals.

Top players including Achraf Hakimi and Jude Bellingham have criticised pitch conditions at the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup in the US. PSG head coach Luis Enrique said that the ball bounces like a rabbit on these pitches. read more Luis Enrique is one of many who have slammed the playing conditions in the US. Image: Reuters The has brought fans from all over the world to the United States to enjoy a new 32-team format. With exciting matches and big-name players in action, the tournament was highly anticipated even before it began. FIFA has claimed that over 1.5 million tickets have been sold, and more than 1 million people have already attended matches despite earlier reports suggesting . But attendance numbers are not the main concern of clubs that are participating. After early complaints about the , a new issue has come up that FIFA would find troubling before next year's World Cup. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Players and coaches complain about quality of grounds in US Many players and coaches have pointed out the poor pitch quality at several stadiums across the United States. Paris Saint-Germain manager Luis Enrique slammed the surfaces in the US in his post-match comments after his team beat the Seattle Sounders 2–0. He said the pitch looked good but didn't play well. 'I'm saying this today because we won — the pitches here are nowhere near the quality of those in Europe. They look good, but the ball bounces like a rabbit. Today, for example, the surface was laid over the original turf and had to be watered manually. They watered it at halftime, but it was dry again after 10 minutes,' Enrique said. More from Football PSG defender Achraf Hakimi also spoke about the problem, saying that the heat and dry grass are making it hard to play their natural game. 'I think the most negative aspect I have experienced so far — and it's something we can't do anything about — is the heat. It is summer, and you can tell by how quickly the pitch dries up. With our playing style, where we like to have the ball and control the flow of the game, it slows us down when the pitch is dry,' Hakimi told The Latin Times. Real Madrid midfielder Jude Bellingham also shared his thoughts after a match in Charlotte. He said the pitch was hard and the ball didn't bounce properly. 'The pitches aren't great here, honestly. It holds up, the ball barely bounces, and it's tough on the knees as well. Hopefully it's something that someone will look at going into the World Cup next year. It's important that we protect the players as well as give the fans a spectacle,' Bellingham told reporters after Real Madrid's 3–1 win over Liga MX side Pachuca. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD These concerns should worry FIFA as they are slated to host the 2026 World Cup in the United States, Mexico, and Canada.

2006 World Cup: DFB convicted of tax evasion after 16-month trial
The headquarters of the German football federation (Image by) The German soccer federation has been convicted of tax evasion related to its successful 2006 World Cup bid. It brought an end of sorts on Wednesday to a 10-year process prompted by allegations that Germany used a slush fund to buy votes from FIFA executive committee members to be certain of hosting the tournament. A regional court in Frankfurt fined the federation, known by its German acronym DFB, 110,000 euros ($128,000) at the culmination of a nearly 16-month trial at the end of the investigation process. Prosecutors had been pushing for a larger fine after accusing the DFB of failing to pay approximately 2.7 million euros (now $3.1 million) in taxes related to its payment of 6.7 million euros ($7.8 million) to FIFA, world soccer's governing body, in April 2005. ' That payment settled a loan that Germany great Franz Beckenbauer, the head of the World Cup organizing committee, had accepted three years earlier from Robert Louis-Dreyfus, a former Adidas executive and then part-owner of the Infront marketing agency. The money was channeled through a Swiss law firm to a Qatari company belonging to Mohammed Bin Hammam, then a member of FIFA's Executive Committee. The exact purpose of the money was never determined. Theo Zwanziger, who was DFB president at the time, told Spiegel magazine in 2015, "there was definitely a slush fund in the German World Cup bid." He accused his successor, Wolfgang Niersbach, of lying about it. Both were on the World Cup organizing committee. LIVE from Leeds: Why India LOST, what coach Gambhir said, Shubman Gill captaincy and more The DFB concealed the repayment of the loan as a contribution toward a planned World Cup opening gala, which was later canceled, and falsely declared it a business expense a year later. Zwanziger, Niersbach, and DFB general secretary Horst R. Schmidt were originally charged in the trial. The proceedings against all three, who consistently denied the allegations of tax evasion, were eventually dropped upon payment of fines. "The court is certain without a doubt that the DFB evaded taxes and that those involved put up with it," presiding judge Eva-Marie Distler said Wednesday in comments reported by news agency dpa. The DFB was initially fined 130,000 euros ($151,000), but 20,000 euros was waived because of the "procedural delays" in the case. Distler was scathing in her criticism of the DFB, saying it presented a "catastrophic image" in its investigation of the affair and must bear the costs for the proceedings. Poll Do you believe the German soccer federation (DFB) should face harsher penalties for tax evasion? Yes, definitely No, the fine is sufficient "The clock ticks differently at the DFB. It generates astronomical legal fees. The responsible people externalize responsibility. No one has to face personal consequences," Distler said. "No DFB representative participated in either the investigation or the trial. You have to ask, are they not taking the justice system seriously?" The DFB has one week to appeal the ruling.
