Mbappé misses penalty but scores in win against Morocco ‘There’s no problem, he never hesitates,’ says France coach Didier Deschamps saluted the mentality of his players after France beat Morocco 2-0 in Thursday’s World Cup quarter-final. “That’s three semi-finals in a row,” he said. “That’s already good. But even though it seems logical and natural for us to be here you still have to achieve it.” Is there a secret? “My credit goes to the players but maybe I do my job well,” Deschamps said. “This is a human venture we are sharing. The only truth is the one on the pitch but the human aspect is extremely important. It’s not copy and paste. It’s never the same situation or conditions.

Earnings Call Insights: WD-40 Company (WDFC) Q3 fiscal 2026 Management View “Third quarter consolidated net sales increased 24% year-over-year to $195.1 million,” said CEO Steven Brass, adding that maintenance products “represented 97% of total net sales” and “exceed[ed] our long-term growth expectations and setting a new record for the company.” Brass said gross margin “increased 40 basis points year-over-year to 56.6%,” while warning, “we expect gross margin to experience some temporary pressure from external cost factors in the coming months,” and adding, “We will vigorously defend our gross margins and may need to take further action in fiscal year 2027 as required.” On growth drivers, Brass cited U.S. WD-40 Multi-Use strength from “expanded distribution, robust e-commerce sales and strong promotional activity,” including “a limited edition can collaboration with Disney Entertainment and the Home Depot,” and said homecare and cleaning “declined 9%, reflecting our strategic focus on higher-margin maintenance products.” Brass announced organizational changes: “we introduced new roles… Chief Strategy and Innovation Officer and Chief Brand and Marketing Officer,” and said CFO Sara Hyzer “will transition to President of our Americas division… until a successor is named.” CFO Sara Hyzer said results showed operating leverage: “net sales up 24% and operating income growing 47%,” and described margin drivers including “lower aerosol cans and fill fees” and “favorable sales mix,” offset by “increases in other input costs.” Outlook Hyzer updated FY 2026 guidance after reclassifying Americas homecare/cleaning as held for use: “we now expect net sales in constant currency to be between $652 million and $667 million,” and “reported net sales to be between $675 million and $690 million.” Hyzer lowered gross margin expectations to “between 54.5% and 55.5%,” saying it includes “a 40 basis point adjustment due to the reclassification… along with an additional 60 basis points fro...

With the head coach having released the handbrake his side were far superior than they were against the same opponents in Qatar four years ago The scorelines may have been exactly the same, but the stylistic gulf in France’s two World Cup knockout performances against Morocco could not have been greater. In the space of just a single tournament cycle, Didier Deschamps has embraced a vastly different style, one based on a freeform attacking line. As a one-two punch from Kylian Mbappé and Ousmane Dembélé sent the team into this year’s semi-final, the 57-year-old’s tactical reinvention was once again vindicated. Continue reading...
