Is Texas Football Going "Soft?" Cole Beasley Weighs In Welcome back to the National Scouting Service Podcast. I'm your host, Otis "Coach O." Brown, bringing you the latest stories shaping high school football across Texas. One of the hottest debates in the Lone Star State isn't about offenses or defenses—it's about Texas' new "soft cap" rule.

Former NFL wide receiver Cole Beasley didn't mince words, calling the rule "soft." His comments have sparked a heated discussion across social media, with some agreeing that football is becoming overregulated, while others argue the rule is simply another step toward improving player safety.

Whether you agree with Beasley or not, one thing is certain: player safety is driving many of today's rule changes.
That brings us to another critical topic—wet-bulb temperature.

As practices begin under the blazing Texas sun, coaches are paying close attention to more than just the thermometer. Wet-bulb temperature combines heat and humidity to measure how effectively the body can cool itself through sweating.

When wet-bulb temperatures become dangerously high, athletes face an increased risk of heat exhaustion, heat stroke, and other life-threatening heat illnesses. That's why schools are adjusting practice times, increasing hydration breaks, and, when necessary, shortening or delaying workouts.
The conversation isn't just about hairstyles or whether football is becoming "soft." It's about finding the right balance between preserving the toughness of the game and protecting the health and safety of student-athletes.

Now we want to hear from you:
Do you agree with Cole Beasley that the new rule is "soft," or do you believe it's a smart move to protect players?

Drop your thoughts in the comments and join the conversation.

FIFA refereeing chief rejects claims of bias in Argentina's win over Egypt

FIFA refereeing chief Pierluigi Collina defended the officiating in Argentina's 3-2 victory over Egypt in the World Cup round of 16, dismissing allegations of bias and saying match officials ​operated with complete independence.
In an interview published on inside.fifa.com on Thursday, Collina said ‌criticism of referees was part of football but he condemned the questioning of the officials' integrity after Egypt complained about the officiating following the defeat.

Constructive discussion about decisions will always be part of football, but unfounded allegations have ​no place in our sport," Collina said.
"Nobody can question the integrity of the FIFA World ​Cup match officials ... Nobody can claim that FIFA refereeing can be influenced by ⁠anyone, not even by the FIFA president (Gianni Infantino)."
Collina said that such allegations could provoke threats against ​referees and their families.

Egypt exited the tournament but claimed they had been treated unfairly after Argentina overturned a ​2-0 deficit to sn**ch victory with a stoppage-time winner from Enzo Fernandez.
Coach Hossam Hassan alleged after the match there may have been pressure on the referee to keep Argentina in the tournament. And the Egyptian Football Association said "several ​key incidents raised serious concerns and left profound questions about the consistency and fairness of decisions ​that directly influenced the course of the game."

Egypt argued that Mostafa Zico's second-half strike was incorrectly ruled out for ‌what ⁠it described as a non-existent foul in the build-up. Egypt were also incensed that a challenge on Mohamed Salah was not penalised moments before Argentina launched the move that produced the winning goal.
FIFA's Collina said VAR had correctly recommended overturning Zico's goal after identifying a foul by Marwan Attia on ​Argentina defender Lisandro Martinez ​during the attacking possession ⁠phase.

We believe that a foul is a foul," Collina said. "Regardless of whether the foul appears 'obvious', if the referee did not see it on the field ​of play, the VAR can intervene."
Collina also defended the decision not to ​award Egypt ⁠a penalty before Argentina's winner, saying both the referee and VAR judged the contact between Salah and Julian Alvarez to be "normal football contact".
"Stepping on an opponent's foot is a foul, whereas a defender who touches ⁠the ​ball first and then makes normal football contact has not ​committed a foul," he said.

Quarterfinals are set at the 2026 FIFA World Cup. The knockout stage has advanced, with the remaining eight nations preparing for the quarterfinals after an exciting Round of 16.

* FIFA defends World Cup officiating. FIFA’s head of refereeing, Pierluigi Collina, rejected claims that Argentina received favorable treatment in its Round of 16 victory over Egypt. FIFA maintains that the VAR decisions were correctly applied and emphasized the independence of match officials.

* United States interested in hosting the 2029 FIFA Club World Cup. Following the success of the 2026 FIFA World Cup, U.S. officials are reportedly in discussions with FIFA about bringing the expanded Club World Cup back to the United States in 2029.

* Historic World Cup Final halftime show announced. FIFA has unveiled a Super Bowl-style halftime show for the 2026 World Cup Final featuring artists including Justin Bieber, Madonna, Shakira, BTS, Burna Boy, and Coldplay. The event will support the FIFA Global Citizen Education Fund.

* Official FIFA coverage. FIFA continues to publish daily match previews, results, player interviews, statistics, and tournament updates throughout the World Cup.

US in talks with Fifa over capitalising on World Cup success with 2029 Club World Cup

The US has expressed interest in hosting the 2029 Club World Cup as it seeks to capitalise on the commercial and sporting success of staging the World Cup.

Fifa has held talks with US officials about its plans for 2029, but the World Cup co-hosts have yet to commit to a bid because the details of the selection process have not been confirmed. It is unclear whether there has been any involvement in the discussions from the White House or ­Donald Trump’s World Cup taskforce, chaired by Andrew Giuliani, who on Wednesday hailed the success of this summer’s tournament.

“Soccer is no longer a future American story,” Giuliani said. “It’s happening right now. There’s just so much demand to come to the United States to watch the World Cup.”

Fifa has almost doubled its sales record by selling 6.5m tickets for this World Cup, and is expected to exceed its revenue target of $11bn (£8.2bn), so it would welcome the US hosting another tournament, not least given its ties with the White House.

An unopposed joint bid from the US, Mexico, Costa Rica and Jamaica to host the 2031 Women’s World Cup is due to be ratified by Fifa
