🥐☕️FC Breakfast: Tuchel riled by photographers, reds galore at World Cup | OneFootball

A shower of red cards at the World Cup 😡

Red fever. After just one week of competition, this 2026 World Cup has already seen six send-offs. That is already more than in the entirety of the 2022 and 2018 editions. It is still, however, a long way from the record set in 2006 with 28 red cards.

Have referees and VAR become stricter, or are players being more reckless? Probably a bit of both...

Too close for comfort 🎥

Thomas Tuchel was particularly annoyed by how close the photographers were during the anthems before England–Croatia (Group L).

The England manager did not hesitate to call out FIFA either: "I beg FIFA to change the position of the photographers during the national anthems, because I couldn’t see my team even though I was really looking forward to that moment. It was a very special moment today. I was standing in front of a wall of fifty photographers positioned right in front of me. I couldn’t see a single one of my players and it spoiled my experience a little."

Goals in quick succession 🚀

You had to be patient in Inglewood. After a dull first half, Switzerland and Bosnia (4-1) put their foot down after the hour mark, enough to claim this record… surprising to say the least!

The Vozinha Mania goes on 📲

Cape Verde goalkeeper Vozinha is still sending Instagram numbers through the roof.

Heroic against Spain, he now has more than 13 million followers and is even ahead of superstars like Victor Wembanyama (NBA) and Patrick Mahomes (NFL).

There is no doubt that he is now the best-known Cape Verdean in the world. Sorry, Nani...

The World Cup player recruited on LinkedIn 💼

Let’s stay with the islanders. We never get tired of the story of Pico Lopes, the Cape Verde international who was recruited for the national team via LinkedIn...
