USMNT or Germany? Banks faces difficult choice ahead of World Cup

  1. Foden is a lucky boy - but Trent still can't win over Tuchel

    Thomas Tuchel has unveiled his England squad for this month's friendlies at home to Uruguay and Japan. These fixtures will be the final two chances for the German to examine his squad in detail before the end of the club season, and he's gone a bit rogue in how he's decided on his roster, naming an expanded 35-player selection but effectively splitting the team in two.

  2. How Arteta turned sizzling Arsenal-City rivalry on its head

    The last time Manchester City and Arsenal faced each other in the League Cup final, Pep Guardiola and Mikel Arteta sat side by side in the Wembley dugout as head coach and assistant before celebrating as their City team destroyed the Gunners 3-0 and claimed the first of piece of silverware of the former's time in England. The rampant win only crystalized the widening gap between the two clubs.

  3. Why Nike x Jordan's Brazil collab is a seismic moment

    We already knew Nike had built something special through their Jordan Brand and Paris Saint-Germain collaboration, with the 'Jumpman' logo replacing the 'Swoosh' on the French giants’ shirts for the past eight years - but they've entered another stratosphere after linking up with the Brazilian federation.

  4. Man Utd MUST upgrade full-backs to go to next level

    Michael Carrick instantly solved one of Manchester United's biggest problems from the Ruben Amorim era by simply playing Luke Shaw and Diogo Dalot in their natural positions. The full-backs have started all nine games under the former Red Devils midfielder, playing their part in the coach's astonishing run of seven victories, one draw and one defeat thus far.

  1. Explained: Vital World Cup role Turner could fill for USMNT

    Matt Turner may have fallen down the USMNT’s goalkeeping depth chart, but Brad Friedel has explained to GOAL why the New England Revolution shot-stopper could still have a vital role to play at the 2026 World Cup. Matt Freese is considered to be leading the race for starting duties at this summer’s global gathering in North America, but Mauricio Pochettino will want an able back-up at his disposal.

  2. Pochettino: Noahkai Banks has not made decision on USMNT future

    USMNT manager Mauricio Pochettino revealed that Noahkai Banks declined the opportunity to represent the USMNT this March, as the highly rated center back is still trying to determine his international future.

Expert Opinion & Analysis

  1. Roma's €25m teen who is earning Osimhen comparisons

    Roma's acquisition of Robinio Vaz from Marseille on January 14 was considered quite the coup for the Serie A side. The Frenchman was still only at 18 at the time of the €25 million (£21.5m/$29m) transfer from Stade Velodrome to Stadio Olimpico, with Lamine Yamal the only player younger than Vaz to have scored at least four goals in Europe's 'Big Five' leagues this season to that point.

  2. Meet Lexi Potter: Chelsea's Stanway-esque teen star

    When Emma Hayes' time at Chelsea was coming to a well-publicised end in the final few months of the 2023-24 season, ahead of her move to the United States to take over its iconic national team, the revered manager took a moment in one of her final press conferences to ponder what the Blues' team might look like in the future, given the progress being made in the women's youth set-up and the work being done to try bridge the gap between the academy and the first team.

  2. Kinsky set for remarkable Spurs return after Vicario blow

    Tottenham have been dealt a major injury blow as the club have confirmed that Guglielmo Vicario is set to undergo surgery on a hernia injury. The stopper will be available for this weekend's relegation six-pointer against Nottingham Forest but will then go under the knife, and is likely to miss at least two vital Premier League fixtures, within which he will likely be replaced by Antonin Kinsky.

Major League Soccer

  1. MLS announces details for sprint season ahead of fall-spring switch

    MLS will implement a 14-game "sprint season" in the spring of 2027, a slate that will fill a gap before the league switches to a European-esque fall-spring calendar, the league announced Thursday. The shortened campaign will feature a regular season and playoffs, while also giving 18 teams the chance to qualify for the Leagues Cup the following year.

  2. Robert Lewandowski

    Lewandowski willing to take pay cut to STAY at Barca

    Robert Lewandowski is reportedly ready to slash his wages to remain at Barcelona as he enters the twilight of his career. Despite lucrative interest from MLS and the Saudi Pro League, the Polish icon is said to be prioritising his family’s comfort in Catalonia and wants a contract extension at the Spotify Camp Nou.

    The FIFA Council approved a new legislation that mandates that a woman head coach or a woman assistant coach must be on every team across all of FIFA's youth and senior women's football tournaments, national team competitions, and club competitions.

  2. Keating must take rare City chance to stake Lionesses claim

    Less than two years ago, Khiara Keating appeared to have the world at her feet. Aged 19, she emerged as Manchester City's starting goalkeeper, won her first senior England call-up and, at the end of the 2023-24 season, became the youngest player ever to win the Women's Super League Golden Glove. And yet, on Sunday, she made just her third league appearance of the current season, having been left out of the Lionesses senior squad last month due to a lack of game time.
