Mauricio Pochettino has signed a contract extension to remain the head coach of the United States national team until the 2030 World Cup, US Soccer announced Monday.

The midfielder later described the defeat as "the worst pain of my 28 years of life" and "the saddest day of my life" in a post on social media.

Just days after the biggest FIFA World Cup in history came to a close, FIFA unveiled a proposal that threatens to alter football's future fundamentally.

Argentina came under scrutiny for their combative approach in the final after Ferran Torres struck in extra time to hand Spain a 1-0 victory and a second World Cup title.

Neymar, Casemiro and Danilo will no longer be in Brazil's plans as they look to build a younger squad for the 2028 Copa America, coach Carlo Ancelotti told Brazilian broadcaster ge.

Disciplinary proceedings were also opened against several players after the final in New Jersey where Spain beat Argentina 1-0 after extra-time.

Neymar appeared to confirm his retirement from international soccer, saying he no longer wanted to play for Brazil, weeks after suggesting his international career had ended following their World Cup last-16 loss to Norway.

Argentine President Javier Milei has alleged that the governments of Brazil and Mexico, along with the US Democratic Party, helped finance an "anti-Argentina" campaign following the country's World Cup final defeat to Spain.

According to FIFA, a player should not face disciplinary consequences because of an opponent's simulation.

Spain international Marc Cucurella revealed a new tattoo of coach Luis de la Fuente on his arm on Tuesday, keeping a promise he made before the country's World Cup win.

FIFA said Tuesday it plans to sell a stake in the business operations of the World Cup and its other competitions through the creation of a semi-private subsidiary.

Technology is supposed to make life easier, not the other way around. Yet when it comes to football, it often seems to have made the game more complicated, raising more questions than it answers.

Spain's World Cup-winning captain Rodri will be sidelined for a short period following minor back surgery, Manchester City said on Tuesday.

Switzerland forward Breel Embolo should not have been sent off during this month's World Cup quarterfinal against Argentina, according to a circular issued by soccer's law-making body IFAB on Tuesday.

Zinedine Zidane was appointed France coach on Tuesday, as widely expected, following the departure of Didier Deschamps, the French Football Federation (FFF) announced.

"We should congratulate the team that did better in that match and move on," Argentina national team video analyst Matias Manna said.

Cutting inside Alexis Mac Allister before curling a perfectly placed right-footed strike into the top corner beyond Emiliano Martinez, Cabral levelled the score at 2-2 and gave Cabo Verde supporters emotions they had never imagined they would experience against the FIFA World Cup defending champions.

The World Cup has grown beyond being just the largest global sporting event.

The full-back, who plays for Turkish club Trabzonspor, produced one of the tournament's most sublime moments in Miami on July 4 when, after gliding past Alexis Mac Allister, he curled a magnificent effort beyond Emiliano Martínez and into the top corner to level the match at 2-2 in extra time.

In a message shared on social media, the France captain reflected on the highs and lows of the tournament, describing it as "a month of excitement, overcoming challenges and pride in wearing the colours of France."
