After a late-week/weekend full of goals, red cards, and Freddy, the German tourist who has become inexplicably famous as he tours the states, the 2026 World Cup begins its first full week with a smattering of matches across the continental United States. While there aren’t any explicit Roma links to today’s matches, between Spain and Belgium, we’ll at least get a glimpse at two nations capable of making a deep run in this tournament.
With 360 minutes of football every day, the Roma transfer market has predictably fallen by the wayside, but we’ll keep tabs on the major headlines throughout the week. And with whispers that Roma said thanks but no thanks to a reunion with Mohamed Salah, silly season is in full swing.
