The Daily Hilario: Come out to the coast…
I’m still buzzing from the win Wednesday night, as epic of a football match as any I’ve got to see live and in person. Levi’s may not be my favorite stadium, but it made for a good ol’ time despite the $30 beers. Now it’s time for the long July 4th Independence Day weekend, and […]
Enzo Fernández looking to leave Chelsea as he ‘demands things the club can’t provide’
It’s no secret that Enzo Fernández is looking to leave Chelsea this summer, with his agent, former PSG player Javier Pastore, making his client’s intentions clear several times now in the last few months. Much to Pastore’s frustration, overt interest in Enzo has been slow to materialize however. Obviously, there are only a handful of […]
2026 World Cup, Round of 32: Spain vs. Austria; Portugal vs. Croatia; Switzerland vs. Algeria
Yesterday was long, exhausting, and glorious. Woke up at 6am to catch the early train down to the Bay. Walked around for a couple hours after getting there, had some lunch, a few drinks. Got to the stadium early to beat the rush; nice and leisurely. Watched the US win 2-0 despite two offside goals, […]

Chaotic Wow Where is this money coming from?
Official: Chelsea sign Marco Palestra from Atalanta
Over the last few years Marc Cucurella dominated the left flank of Chelsea’s defence, up until moving to Real Madrid and now trying to play poacher for them instead of focusing on Spain’s World Cup efforts. Yet we haven’t made the “Marc” spot empty from next season on, with Chelsea signing Marco Palestra from Italian […]
2026 World Cup, Round of 32: England vs. DR Congo; Belgium vs. Senegal; USA vs. Bosnia & Herzegovina
Well, here’s the big day for local interest in the first knockout round: both England and the USA in action. The nations are expecting, on both sides of the Atlantic. I will be at the US game in Santa Clara, and I’m quite excited for that. LFG! ENGLAND vs. DR CONGO On paper, this looks […]

Retired Second Wow
Moisés Caicedo’s Ecuador lose to Mexico in Round of 32
Moisés Caicedo’s first game as the official captain of the Ecuador national football team did not turn out the way he would have wanted to, coming out on the losing end of a 2-0 defeat against Mexico, who thus advance to the Round of 16. Ecuador are going home, earlier than they would have liked […]
Chelsea ‘open talks’ with Rayo Vallecano for Pep Chavarría — reports
Chelsea look set to significantly revamp out options at full back for next season. Marc Cucurella has gone; Malo Gusto could follow. Marco Palestra is set to come in, as are Valentín Barco and Geovany Quenda, both of whom could play wing-back if needed. But that may not be needed, with Chelsea apparently also working […]
Everton ‘progressing in talks’ to sign Tyrique George from Chelsea — report
Tyrique George spent the second half of last season on loan at Everton, and while the Toffees liked him well enough, they didn’t really give him (m)any minutes. So it was entirely unsurprising when they also opted to forgo their option to make the deal permanent. But it would appear that Everton have not given […]

Assists Hmm What
2026 World Cup, Round of 32: Côte d’Ivoire vs. Norway; France vs. Sweden; Mexico vs. Ecuador
Day 19, the first full day of Round of 32 action, delivered the drama of the expanded knockout rounds in spades. All three games were close. Two were decided in a penalty kick shootout. The third featured a stoppage-time winner. They may not have been equally entertaining in terms of the football on display, but […]
Manchester City appoint Enzo Maresca; Chelsea receive compensation and have some parting words
Enzo Maresca was officially appointed as the new head coach at Manchester City today, succeeding Pep Guardiola who left the club at the end of the season after a vastly successful decade-long run in charge. Maresca, who served as assistant to Guardiola for one of those ten seasons, certainly has his work cut out for […]
The Daily Hilario: The WOW! Signal
I mentioned this in a comment the other day, but MUSE’s new album, ‘The WOW! Signal’ came out on Friday (dropped, went live, whatever the kids might say these days), and I’m absolutely in love with it, playing it 24/7 as you do. It’s getting great reviews, and justifiably so: it’s their tenth and it’s […]
2026 World Cup, Round of 32: Brazil vs. Japan; Germany vs. Paraguay; Netherlands vs. Morocco
The Round of 32 began with anything but a bang, as Canada struggled past South Africa in Los Angeles last night. But the name of the game in knockout rounds is often just to survive and advance, and that’s precisely what the hosts did thanks to a late goal form Stephen Eustaquio. Appropriately enough, Eustaquio […]
Sunderland strongly reject £8m Chelsea bid for Granit Xhaka – reports
Chelsea are interested in reuniting Granit Xhaka with incoming manager Xabi Alonso, to add a bit of leadership and experience to what is still a very young squad. Xhaka himself is said to be open to the idea, with some reports in the last 24 hours going as far as to claim that personal terms […]
2026 World Cup, Round of 32: South Africa vs. Canada
After 17 days of practically non-stop football, the group stage of the 2026 FIFA World Cup is over. Our world may feel a bit more empty now … though probably not as empty as for the one-third of the 48 qualified nations who are heading home. The remaining two-thirds move on to the Round of […]

Hmm Unreal Broken
Chelsea set £30m asking price for Trevoh Chalobah after £22m Como bid — report
According to multiple reports, Como 1907 have followed up their supposed interest in Trevoh Chalobah with an actual offer, but that offer falls short of Chelsea’s valuation for our defender. The Serie A hotshots have submitted a £22m bid, but presumably that got rejected as Chelsea are said to want £30m, plus another £5m in […]
Chelsea reach ‘full verbal agreement’ over personal terms with Granit Xhaka — reports
The hot rumor of the day involves none other than Granit Xhaka, with the likes of Sky Deutschland reporting that Chelsea have “full verbal agreement” over personal terms with the midfielder. (“Deal on”, says Fabrizio.) In a way, the only surprising thing about this development is that it took this long. After being hounded out […]
2026 World Cup, Day 17: Final games in Groups J, K, L
On the penultimate day of group stage play, we saw blockbuster showdowns, Cinderella stories, and plenty of late drama, especially in the Egypt vs. Iran game (which somehow didn’t result in a goal but was riveting television). With that match ending in a draw however, it were Belgium who snuck back into first place in […]

Wow Signing Hmm
Maxence Lacroix ‘expected’ to join Chelsea in €55m move after World Cup — report
Rumors this week proclaimed that Chelsea are “preparing to advance” our interest in Maxence Lacroix, Crystal Palace’s France international center back, who predates BlueCo in the Chelsea rumor mill by a whole year, but is now apparently the very top of our defensive reinforcements wishlist. While previous stories spoke highly of our interest, they did […]
2026 World Cup, Day 16: Final games in Groups G, H, I
We’re halfway through the last set of group games, and 16 of the 32 teams qualifying for the knockout rounds are now known — with three more already qualified just not exactly certain in which order. The US and Germany were already confirmed as group winners coming into yesterday, and they both ended up losing […]
