Jury out on Club World Cup after Bayern's 10-0 win, Poch shows he's not a ‘mannequin'
The Athletic FC ⚽ is The Athletic's daily football (or soccer, if you prefer) newsletter. Sign up to receive it directly to your inbox. Hello! A 10-0 rinsing wasn't on our bingo list. Maybe this is the Club World Cup creating 'a new era for soccer'. On the way: 🏟️ Inside the CWC's first weekend 🇺🇸 Poch shows he's no 'mannequin' 🤝 Frank and Spurs: a good fit? 👀 The best Wirtz goal you'll see The opening-night crowd was nowhere near as bad as FIFA feared, only slightly below capacity. The first weekend broke a record. Gianni Infantino got to rub shoulders with David Beckham (now a British knight of the realm), Ronaldo (the Brazilian one) and Roberto Baggio (all above). And the sun came out. Advertisement The Club World Cup is up and running, with a walk-out anthem from singer Robbie Williams, no less. But no amount of sideshows can change the fact that the reputation of a tournament FIFA rather forced upon the sport depends on the standard of the football, plain and simple. Which is where the jury is out. Take that record-breaking moment, for example. It comprised a 10-0 win for Bayern Munich over New Zealand's Auckland City yesterday, the widest scoreline the Club World Cup has seen in all of its 25 years. Auckland are amateurs and, in that respect, full marks to FIFA for inclusivity. But what purpose is served by exposing them to hammerings from Europe's elite, aside from making the Kiwis richer? And is Auckland getting richer a good thing anyway? Because while they were completely outclassed in Cincinnati, we're talking about New Zealand's dominant team by far, one who will only get stronger domestically now. Bayern's supporters weren't sold and they rolled out a protest banner with the message: 'Football is more poorly governed than before. Smash FIFA!' I'm guessing 'Hopeium' — the slogan on Robbie Williams' T-shirt — was more in line with Infantino's tastes. Bayern's goals made up for a lack of them in two other matches. Egypt's Al Ahly did a job on Lionel Messi in game one, pinning him down at Miami's Hard Rock stadium as well as teams tend to. Sure, he hit the post and saw a late effort tipped onto the crossbar (above), but it took a penalty save from Inter Miami goalkeeper Oscar Ustari to hold Al Ahly to a 0-0 draw. Miami relying on Messi is nothing new, but they were afflicted by a lack of imaginative ideas beyond giving the ageing Argentinian the ball. While FIFA was fairly brash in ensuring that Messi would be a face of the Club World Cup, they ought not to count on Miami going deep into the competition. Advertisement That's because the other Group A fixture, between Brazil's Palmeiras and Portugal's Porto, also finished goalless, leaving the section wide open. The coaches of both teams criticised the pitch they were asked to play on at the MetLife Stadium in New Jersey — creating echoes of last year's Copa America — and their complaints underline the challenge ahead of FIFA as it tries to ensure that surfaces allocated for next year's World Cup are adequate or better. Sadly for MLS, Seattle Sounders fared worse than Miami. A 2-1 defeat to Botafogo leaves them in a position where losing next time out, against Atletico Madrid on Thursday, will confirm their elimination. Not that Atletico are in particularly fine fettle.

Issue two for FIFA ahead of the 2026 World Cup: searing summer heat. It was positively baking at Pasadena's Rose Bowl — around 32 degrees Celsius (90°F) — as Paris Saint-Germain stuck four unanswered goals past Atletico. On the flip side, the attendance was impressive, up over 80,000. PSG look like they have no ceiling at present. They look indefatigable, too, and to some extent, the initial weekend of the Club World Cup reminded me of the expanded Champions League PSG have just won. After an unconvincing start, that tournament got better as it went on, which might well be what happens in the States. And at the end of it, the wealthiest clubs walked off with even more cash — something we're about to witness again. Catch a match (Times ET/UK. All Club World Cup matches are shown on DAZN in the U.S. and UK, as well as other channels stated) FIFA Club World Cup: Group C: Boca Juniors vs Benfica, 6pm/11pm — Channel 5 (UK); Group D: Chelsea vs LAFC, 3pm/8pm — TBS, Fubo (U.S.), Channel 5 (UK); Flamengo vs Esperance Sportive de Tunis, 9pm/2am. Were the USMNT not consumed by introspection, last night's 5-0 victory over Trinidad and Tobago would have passed as a regulation start to their Gold Cup campaign. They were supposed to win and they did, with a fair amount of ease. But the tribulations of Mauricio Pochettino and defeat after defeat in four previous outings made you wonder if the U.S. squad had a result like this in them. As Paul Tenorio writes, the Gold Cup had to start with a bang to wash away some of the internal drama. Pochettino said himself that yesterday's victory was an antidote to 'negative things'. Advertisement Which isn't to say all of the negativity is cured. Before kick-off, Pochettino had responded to a CBS interview by Christian Pulisic, in which the forward explained why he was sitting out of the Gold Cup (having offered to play in friendlies leading up to it, a proposal Pochettino rejected). 'I respect and understand him,' Pochettino said. 'But I don't need him to understand our decision. I am the head coach. I am not a mannequin.' You can read the full quotes here and you'll probably draw the same conclusion as me: that the relationship between boss and star man needs some cultivating. The standout line from our inside read on Thomas Frank's appointment as Tottenham Hotspur's new head coach was the revelation that Brentford made no attempt to talk him out of leaving them. It's incredibly on-brand. Brentford's entire strategy, going back more than a decade, is based on an acceptance that talented individuals who come to them will go onto bigger things, ideally for a decent profit. Depending on who you believe, Spurs are paying between £5m and £10m for Frank's signature — a healthy wedge for a coach. Frank has a big ally at Tottenham in technical director Johan Lange. Regardless of whether he lasts there for seven-plus years, as he did as Brentford boss, Frank's the archetypal project manager. He once said his fear about quitting Brentford was the risk of finding 'weeds' in the grass elsewhere, and there are plenty at Spurs. But the timing feels right, for all concerned. After showing so much promise, bits began dropping off Atletico Madrid towards the end of the season. The main trophies got away from them and judging by Alexander Sorloth's miss against PSG yesterday — enough to drop Diego Simeone to his knees — their tired bodies are crying out for some sand to go with the sun.

Report – Iran Superstar Wants To Stay At San Siro Despite Inter Milan Pursuit Of Parma & Man Utd Strikers
Report – Iran Superstar Wants To Stay At San Siro Despite Inter Milan Pursuit Of Parma & Man Utd Strikers Inter Milan remain hot on the heels of Ange-Yoan Bonny and Rasmus Hojlund, but that doesn't seem to bother Mehdi Taremi. According to Tuttosport via FCInterNews, the Iran international is keen to stay at the San Siro despite an underwhelming first season. Advertisement Though Mehdi Taremi joined the Nerazzurri as one of Europe's most lethal goal-getters after a superb stint at Porto. However, the 32-year-old has never found his footing in Serie A. Indeed, he only netted one league goal in his first year in Italy. Therefore, his summer exit is a distinct possibility. Mehdi Taremi Wants to Stay Despite Inter Milan Pursuit of Hojlund & Bonny MANCHESTER, ENGLAND – APRIL 16: Rasmus Hojlund of Manchester United reacts during a training session ahead of their UEFA Europa League 2024/25 quarter final second leg match against Olympique Lyonnais at Carrington Training Ground on April 16, 2025 in Manchester, England. (Photo by) Unfazed by a lack of first-team opportunities, Taremi is not thinking about leaving Inter. Yet, his situation could soon become more complicated. Indeed, the Serie A runners-up are eager to add Ange-Yoan Bonny and Rasmus Hojlund to their ranks this summer. Advertisement The former is a realistic target. Parma are open to letting him go for a reported fee of up to €25 million. Meanwhile, the Dane would command a higher price tag, with Manchester United asking for around €40m for their flop. Nonetheless, Inter want them both, which would significantly derail Taremi's playing time next term.

Turkish Journalist Fuels Speculation Linking Inter Milan Midfield Stalwart With Galatasaray: 'Negotiations Are Underway'
Turkish journalist Serhat Akin confirms Hakan Calhanoglu is open to swapping Inter Milan for Galatasaray this summer. Per Akin via FCInterNews, the 31-year-old wants to join the Istanbul-based giants. Hakan Calhanoglu has emerged as one of Galatasaray's top transfer targets. Advertisement Despite his household status at the San Siro, the former AC Milan midfielder prefers to return to his homeland. Meanwhile, Okan Buruk's charges are willing to go to great lengths to pull off an agreement with Inter. Though the Nerazzurri would ideally keep hold of their playmaker, the player's desire to leave could prove pivotal. Therefore, talks between the parties are reportedly underway. Calhanoglu has been instrumental to Inter's success since arriving from the red part of the city four years ago. Yet, his Serie A career is seemingly drawing to a close a year after he rejected a move to Bayern Munich. Serhat Akin Confirms Inter Milan Ace Hakan Calhanoglu Wants to Join Galatasaray MILAN, ITALY – FEBRUARY 25: Hakan Calhanoglu of FC Internazionale celebrates after scoring their team's second goal during the Coppa Italia, Quarter Final match between FC Internazionale and SS Lazio at Stadio Giuseppe Meazza on February 25, 2025 in Milan, Italy. (Photo by) Despite wearing the captain's armband for Turkey, Calhanoglu has never played in his home country. Advertisement Indeed, born and raised in Mannheim, he launched his senior career in Germany. However, as he enters the autumn of his career, the allure of returning home looks too tempting to resist. Akin now took stock of the star midfielder's future. 'Hakan Calhanoglu sent me a message today,' he said. 'He said: 'We are in talks with Galatasaray. They want me and I want them.' Moreover, Calhanoglu's father, Huseyin, fuelled speculation linking his son with an immediate switch to Istanbul. He shared a post, saying: 'I hope one day you will come to Galatasaray.' As for Inter, they're already in the market for replacements. Lazio's Nicolo Rovella is the number-one candidate to fill the Turk's shoes. However, Beppe Marotta is keeping other options open.
