Bentancur helps Uruguay rescue point in World Cup opener - Tottenham Hotspur
Description

Having falling behind before the break to the middle eastern nation, Rodrigo and Uruguay powered through the hot and humid conditions of Miami, USA, to level the game late on through Maximilian Araujo and claim a point in their group stage opener.

The two-time former world champions pushed on to find a winner in the late stages but the man between the Saudi Arabia sticks, Mohammed Al-Owais, was in inspired form to deny the South Americans.

Lolo played the full 90 minutes for his country, earning his 74th cap as he plays in his sixth major international tournament and third World Cup.

Next up for Uruguay is the challenge of Cape Verde on Sunday 21 June - kick-off 11pm (UK).

Signe Gaupset: “It just feels like home” - Tottenham Hotspur
Description

The Norway international midfielder impressed so much after joining us from the Norwegian Toppserien side in January.

A box-to-box midfielder, technically gifted with an eye for a pass and a goal, Signe scored three goals in 11 matches in the WSL, opening her account in one of the performances of the season, the 7-3 win at Villa. She made 14 appearances in all competitions.

Still only 20 – 21 later this month – the switch both on and off the pitch from Norway to London can be somewhat daunting – but Signe says players and staff made it a smooth transition.

Speaking to us ahead of the World Sevens Football tournament last month, she said: “I think it's been easy for me to come into this club with all these amazing people and staff. The players have helped me a lot. It just feels like home.

"Of course, when you're settled outside of the pitch, it's easier to perform on the pitch as well. So, it's been a fun few months so far and I'm really excited for next season.”

2026 World Cup | Mixed fortunes for Micky and record-breaker Lucas on World Cup debuts - Tottenham Hotspur
Description

Micky started as left-back for the Netherlands, who were hit by a late equaliser as it ended 2-2 against Japan in Texas. A somewhat cagey encounter came to life in the second half - the Dutch led twice through Virgil van Dijk (51 minutes) and Crysencio Summerville (64) only to be hauled back by Keito Nakamura (57) and Daichi Kamada with a minute remaining.

Lucas made history when he stepped off the bench in Sweden's impressive 5-1 win against Tunisia in Monterrey - at 20 years, four months and 13 days, becoming the youngest player to play for Sweden at the World Cup, two days younger than when former United, Milan and Everton forward Jesper Blomqvist featured in 1994.

Lucas came on for Benjamin Nygren with Sweden 3-1 up and made an impact, his trademark high press won the ball back for Brighton's Yasin Ayari to lash home Sweden's fifth and final goal in the sixth minute of added time. Ayari opened the scoring with Alexander Isak, Viktor Gyokeres and Mattias Svanberg also on target.

Next up - the Spurs team-mates are set to face each other when the Netherlands take on Sweden in the second group game on Saturday (6pm).

New deal for Pedro

New deal for Pedro - Tottenham Hotspur
Description

One of our leaders, Pedro made 47 appearances in all competitions last season – the most in the squad - and was particularly impressive in Roberto De Zerbi's seven matches in the crucial final weeks of the campaign.

That took the flying full-back's tally to 152 appearances since arriving in January 2023 and he has been a model of consistency during his time in N17.

Sporting Director, Johan Lange, said: “Securing Pedro's future was an important priority for us this summer.

“During the past three-and-half years, he has made huge progress to become one of the best full-backs in the game, and the fact he is about to play in the World Cup for Spain is testament to that.

“Pedro is at an age where he can provide leadership and experience, while still having room for further development.

“His character, work ethic and quality are exactly what we look for when building a squad capable of competing at the highest level and we are delighted that he has chosen to continue his journey with the Club.”

Head Coach, Roberto De Zerbi, said: “Pedro is a very important player for us, who has consistently shown his ability to influence matches in both defensive and attacking situations.

“As well as his technical quality, I also love his mentality. Every day he wants to work, to learn and to improve, and these are the characteristics that help players reach the highest level.

“He understands football in a very intelligent way, and brings energy, intensity and personality to the team.

“This new contract is good news for everyone at the Club. We believe in Pedro, and I am excited to continue working with him and helping him achieve even more in the coming years.”

Initially joining us on loan from Sporting CP at the end of the winter 2023 transfer window, Pedro made 17 appearances in the second half of that campaign before his move was made permanent.

An impressive first full season at the Club followed, where he was the perfect fit for the system, stepping into midfield from right-back and returning three goals and seven assists in 35 Premier League starts. He also won our Official Supporters' Club’s vote for Goal of the Season for a thunderbolt in the FA Cup against Burnley.

Pedro was key again as we tasted glory in the UEFA Europa League in 2024/25, featuring in 13 of our 15 matches and scoring a crucial semi-final second leg goal at Bodo/Glimt that secured our place in the final. He went on to start in the final as we lifted the UEFA Europa League trophy against Manchester United in Bilbao.

On the international stage, Pedro is now up to 18 senior caps for Spain and a regular in their set-up. He was involved in Spain's victorious UEFA Nations League campaign in the summer of 2025 and is currently part of Luis de la Fuente's 2026 World Cup squad.

2026 World Cup | Robertson leads Scotland to huge win - Tottenham Hotspur
Description

Our new signing 'Robbo' led the team out at Boston Stadium - home of NFL giants New England Patriots - and a passionate rendition of 'Flower of Scotland' before kicking-off Scotland's first World Cup match since 1998.

In the end, John McGinn's strike on 28 minutes proved enough for a win many saw as vital if Scotland are to progress to the knockout phase. They top the group after the opening round of matches after Brazil and Morocco played out a 1-1 draw in New Jersey.

Andy played the full 90+ as it turned into an anxious end before Scotland secured their first World Cup win since beating Sweden in Italia 90 - indeed, Frantzdy Pierrot headed a late chance wide from 10 yards for Haiti.

Scotland are back in action in Boston on Friday, when they face Morocco.

Next up for our players at the World Cup - Micky van de Ven and the Netherlands take on Japan in their Group F opener in Dallas on Sunday evening (9pm UK).

Ben's tribute to Cliff Jones, MBE: "He's one of the true greats" - Tottenham Hotspur
Description

The pair forged a close bond following Ben's move to Spurs in 2014.

One of the all-time greats for club and country, Cliff was capped 59 times - scoring 16 goals - and was part of the Wales team that reached the quarter-finals of the 1958 World Cup in Sweden, where they were knocked out by Pele's Brazil.

Here at Spurs, Cliff scored 159 goals in 358 games in all competitions between 1958-1968. He was a key member of Bill Nicholson's side that clinched the double of the First Division championship and FA Cup in 1960/61, reached the semi-finals of the European Cup and retained the FA Cup in 1961/62 and then made history by becoming the first British side to win a European trophy with our European Cup Winners' Cup triumph in 1963 - he scored in the final, a 5-1 demolition of Atletico Madrid. He won his third FA Cup in 1967.

Ben, who signed a new deal this week and will soon prepare for his 13th season in Lilywhite, said: "It is fantastic that Cliff Jones is being recognised for his incredible contribution to both club and international football.

"He is recognised as one of the true greats of the game at both Swansea and Tottenham and of course with Wales whom he represented at the 1958 World Cup.

"I was lucky enough to meet him when I first arrived at Spurs, where I forged a close bond with him and his wife (Joan), who often had me round to the house, and I’d hear amazing stories about his life and football career. To have him present me with my 100th cap was an absolute honour.

"I am so proud that he has been recognised with an MBE. Congratulations. Llongyfarchiadau."
