Chelsea is interested in signing 18-year-old defender Ruud Nijstad from FC Twente, facing competition from Barcelona.
A man died after falling from a box seat area at Azteca Stadium shortly before the match between Mexico and Portugal, with authorities stating he was intoxicated and attempted to jump from the second-level box seats to the first level.
Andres Gerber, who spent six years of his playing career at Thun, told BBC Sport, 'It's a bit like when Leicester won the Premier League.' This comparison highlights the unexpected success of a club that has historically struggled.
KV Mechelen are seeking an immediate response here.

Sat in the driving seat to claim a top-six finish among Belgium's elite in 2026, the former Cercle Brugge boss has seen his potential European chasers receive plenty of plaudits this season.
