CONCACAF clears Canada coach Marsch of any wrongdoing but fines Canada Soccer
CONCACAF has cleared Canada coach Jesse Marsch of any wrongdoing but fined Canada Soccer for incidents at Canada's opening Gold Cup game last week in Vancouver. Marsch missed the first two games of the tournament, serving a ban arising from being shown a red card in March at the CONCACAF Nations League third-place match. He watched Canada's 6-0 win over No. 75 Honduras on June 17 with other team officials from a suite in Vancouver's B.C. Place Stadium. After the game, CONCACAF announced its Disciplinary Committee had initiated disciplinary proceedings into Marsch and Canada Soccer to see if they had 'disregarded regulations applicable to suspended match officials and used offensive language toward CONCACAF match officials.' Late Monday, CONCACAF handed down its ruling. The Disciplinary Committee fined Canada Soccer an undisclosed amount 'for breaching security protocols for accredited delegation officials and for failing to comply with anti-doping procedures by not providing the required representative for the halftime doping control draw.' 'Additionally, the Disciplinary Committee found no clear evidence that Jesse Marsch disregarded the competition's rules regarding suspended match officials, therefore, he has been cleared of any wrongdoing,' CONCACAF added. Marsch had sounded optimistic on the topic earlier Monday. 'The dialogue has been positive,' he said of CONCACAF. 'And I think that more than anything, this has been a misunderstanding in some ways. I think we're all ready to move forward in a positive way.' In its ruling, CONCACAF also threw out an olive branch to Canada Soccer saying it 'recognizes the CSA's (Canada Soccer Association's) constructive engagement in the Disciplinary Committee's investigation.' The two fines involved minor infractions. The accreditation issue arose when a Canada Soccer staffer took ill and had to be replaced at the match. Their replacement's credential did not pass muster when checked after the game. Canada Soccer had already apologized for the error. The doping issue concerned the timing of a Canadian official at the mid-game draw to decide which players would be drug-tested. Due to a misunderstanding, the Canadian representative was on hand for the draw itself, which went ahead as scheduled, but not for an earlier gathering (as had been the procedure at last summer's Copa America). Canada, ranked 30th in the world, faces No. 81 El Salvador in its final Group B game Tuesday in Houston. This report by The Canadian Press was first published June 23, 2025.

Are players signed for record-breaking transfer fees affected by the pressure of their price?
In 1979, Trevor Francis became Great Britain's first million-pound football player. Not that his new manager, the legendary Brian Clough, was always happy to admit it. Clough, then in charge of Nottingham Forest, and Jim Smith, his counterpart at Birmingham City, from where Francis moved, agreed to announce the fee as £999,999, even though more than a million quid actually changed hands. Advertisement The decision was meant to help Clough, the master psychologist, prick the ego of his new striker, but also to remove some of the pressure associated with such a landmark figure that would inevitably fall on Francis' shoulders. More than four decades later, it is little surprise that clubs often play down the fees they pay for players, with private briefings, nods and winks designed to keep the figures reported as low as they can get away with, or even left at 'undisclosed', keeping that potential pressure in mind. Step forward then, Florian Wirtz, the latest player to wear the heavy tag of Britain's most expensive footballer — well, possibly. If the add-on clauses included in his transfer are achieved, the additional £16million that goes from Liverpool to Germany's Bayer Leverkusen will make his move a record in the British game. For now, the £100million ($134.3m) guaranteed fee makes the 22-year-old Germany international forward Liverpool's record signing, and the club might well be pleased that Wirtz does not initially have to deal with the extra pressure that has weighed heavily on others. 'The beginning was tough for me,' said Moises Caicedo, the current British record signing — £115million from Brighton & Hove Albion to Chelsea in 2023 — told reporters during the latter's pre-season tour to the United States last summer. 'Because you are at a big club, the price, you always have to win every game.' The Ecuador international midfielder is not the first player to experience the pressure of record-transfer status. More than two decades earlier, in 2002, England centre-back Rio Ferdinand left Leeds United for Manchester United in a £29million deal that made him the country's most expensive player. 'The pressure it brings is immeasurable, it's huge,' Ferdinand said last year on his FIVE podcast. 'Anything you do, anywhere you walk… people don't even have to say anything to you, but subconsciously you feel that people are looking at you and thinking about and talking about the price. 'Wherever you go, whether it's to the local shop for a loaf of bread, whether it's filling your car up with petrol or walking down the road with your missus, you just think all eyes are on you and that all they're thinking about is the transfer fee and expectation. Advertisement 'Then you walk out onto the training pitch — expectations. You walk into the canteen at the training ground — expectations. Away grounds — expectations. Everybody's anticipating £100million worth, that big record performance, everywhere you go, people are expecting world-class, above-average-all-the-time, elite-always, beyond-your-wildest-dreams performances, whatever you do.' Over three decades, the size of the British transfer record has increased more than tenfold. In 1995, striker Stan Collymore's move from Nottingham Forest to Liverpool for £8.5million was the milestone deal raising eyebrows. Collymore's record for Liverpool was more than respectable — 26 goals in 61 Premier League appearances at a rate of 0.49 per 90 minutes — but he did not bring the spectacular results the club had hoped for and could not help them land the elusive Premier League title to break the dominance of Manchester United. More than 30 years later, Wirtz will not have that issue to contend with. He is joining a club already sitting at the top of the tree, having won the title last season, but there are still lessons that Collymore believes he, and Liverpool, can learn. 'I'd like to see very dampened-down messaging from the club — no pianos, like Alexis Sanchez, when he signed for Man United (from Arsenal in 2018),' Collymore said to 'If Liverpool do it like that, then he will settle much quicker than if he comes in as a superstar. If the club indulge that, and do what Manchester United have, to their cost, over many transfers, there could be a problem. 'I think Liverpool should, and will, help him. It all starts on the reveal. Manchester United made a rod for their own back with the likes of Sanchez and Paul Pogba, because it was kind of like embracing the galactico thing. There is a temptation with any club to say, 'We're champions of England and look who we can buy', but I think that is very anti-Liverpool. Advertisement 'It happened a bit when I signed. It was made a very big deal, instead of just getting me through the door and letting me settle in. Every good game, it was, 'The record transfer has scored'. Every bad game, it was, 'The record transfer hasn't played well'. And that gets in the way.' Wirtz's success or failure in terms of handling the pressure of that fee might be decided by his own mentality. Thirteen months after Collymore's switch to Anfield, Newcastle United blew his fee out of the water by paying £15million to bring local-lad striker Alan Shearer home from Blackburn Rovers, where he had scored the goals to help them clinch a Premier League title the previous year. That was a world-record transfer and, while Shearer could not help his hometown club lift a trophy, he did get 206 goals in all competitions over a decade to cement his place as the club's, and the Premier League's, record scorer. Perhaps it is easier said than done, but Shearer claims he simply never allowed the cost of his transfer to become a mental issue. 'The really funny thing is that I never felt that pressure,' Shearer wrote in his column for The Athletic in 2022. 'Not once. Not at all. 'You often hear or read about players being weighed down by their price tag after a move, about them struggling to live up to it, but although it did feel like a ridiculous, obscene amount of money for a club to spend on me (or on anybody), it wasn't a burden. It made me feel extremely proud, excited, special, 10 feet tall. Truth be told, I absolutely loved it. 'A scruffy little lad from Park Avenue in Gosforth, who couldn't wait to get home from school and put stones down on the street as makeshift goals and play with his pals was now the planet's most expensive footballer. Work that one out! 'To me, it was a dream, an amazing privilege. I felt honoured that someone was prepared to shell out that much cash for me, but it wasn't my cash. And if it was a gamble, then it wasn't mine. Advertisement 'I'd experienced something similar four years earlier, when I moved from Southampton to Blackburn for a domestic transfer record of £3.6million. That figure sounds so quaint now, doesn't it? It was Jack Walker's investment but he was paying for me to do what I'd always done, which was to go out and score goals, to do my stuff. 'The size of the fee wasn't my doing. All it did was make me feel more confident. I'm old enough to remember Trevor Francis joining Nottingham Forest in 1979 and becoming Britain's first £1million player, a figure that felt outlandish and impossible: 'My God. How much?!'' It is a sentiment that Clough possibly shared, so much so that he attempted to manipulate the narrative to both take the pressure off Francis and allow him to keep his new star grounded. 'Since February 1979, myth has surrounded the actual transfer figure paid by Forest and still does,' the late Francis wrote in his 2019 autobiography, One in a Million. 'There are two questions that I get regularly asked, 'What was it like playing for Clough?' and, 'Was the fee really £999,999?' 'That second question is still asked of me, and I guarantee that in the next few days someone will stop me and say, 'Clough didn't pay £1million for you'. The myth was created by Clough himself. In his usual flippant way, he knew that whatever he said would make headlines, so he created the idea that a £1m transfer fee might have a negative effect on me, therefore he had reduced it.' It seems unlikely that Arne Slot will go to such lengths to persuade the public that Wirtz cost Liverpool less than he did. But the testimony of many players suggests that record-transfer pressure is real. So do not expect Liverpool to shout about Wirtz's new-found status.

FIFA Club World Cup pair join race for £140k per week Liverpool star
Liverpool lost Trent Alexander-Arnold after the homegrown talent allowed his contract to run down. Although the 26-year-old ended up moving to Real Madrid for an £8.4m fee, that was only because the Spaniards were adamant about having him on board for the FIFA Club World Cup. Advertisement If he moved after June 30 - upon the expiry of his contract - then Liverpool would have lost him for nothing. It's a situation the Reds decision-makers are keen to avoid in the case of Ibrahima Konate. The club have reportedly set a deadline of this summer's transfer window in order to get the defender to renew. Konate, 26, is approaching the last 12 months of his current deal and will be free to discuss a free transfer with overseas teams in January. Should contract talks fail between now and the end of this window then expect Liverpool to listen to offers. Konate out of contract in 2026 Madrid are of course sniffing around. Advertisement There are reports that the 15-time European champions would pay a fee for the France international this summer and are not solely interested in him as a free transfer. Then there's Paris Saint-Germain. The European champions made an offer for Konate to become new club captain if he moved back to his home city - as revealed by Anfieldwatch. But to that cohort you can now add another two clubs. According to a new report in Caught Offside, fellow FIFA Club World Cup participants Bayern Munich and Al-Hilal are seeking a deal for Konate. © IMAGO Al-Hilal and Bayern want Konate 'Al-Hilal, Bayern Munich, Real Madrid, and Paris Saint-Germain remain linked with Liverpool centre-back Ibrahima Konate as they seek to reinforce their defensive lines,' a report reads. Advertisement Liverpool are in a race against time for Konate to renew his deal. Having signed from RB Leipzig back in 2021 for around £35m, Konate is on a reported £140k per week. For a renewal he would like to rise to £200k per week - and that is not a sum Richard Hughes is currently prepared to meet.
