  1. Spurs must sack Frank & make changes before they're relegated

    Tottenham Hotspur sit 15th in the Premier League table. They are only six points clear of the relegation zone. Zero wins from eight domestic games in 2026. Their next two matches are against sides they don't have a strong recent history against in Newcastle and Arsenal. Yet there seems to be very little alarm around the club that this is a season that could very well end in disaster.

  2. Get Mainoo on the plane! Tuchel mustn't make Amorim's mistake

    If Ruben Amorim had stayed in charge of Manchester United, Kobbie Mainoo would be speaking to prospective clubs right now about leaving - if he hadn't departed already. Instead, the homegrown midfielder is thriving under Michael Carrick and looks every bit United’s present as well as its future. With every game he plays, Mainoo is making Amorim’s decision to disregard his talent seem all the more ridiculous.

  3. LEGACY: Mexico - the World Cup's most prolific hosts

    This is Legacy, GOAL’s podcast and feature series to mark the countdown to the 2026 World Cup. Each week, we explore the stories and the spirit behind the nations that define the world’s game. This week, we travel to Mexico, the only country to host three World Cups. From Pele’s triumph in 1970 to Diego Maradona’s magic in 1986, and now to the celebration set for 2026, it’s the story of a nation where football is not just played, but lived; a land of goals, history, and unending passion.

  4. Kane ends BuLi fairy tale as McTominay scores through pain

    GOAL runs the rule over the British players earning a living away from their homeland, with plenty more stars deciding to leave their comfort zones in search of a better footballing life elsewhere. The Premier League is still obviously one of the world's most entertaining divisions and the Championship can prove fantastic for development, but there are more options out there.

  5. City still fighting for this title as Haaland ends Anfield hoodoo

    Manchester City are still fighting for this Premier League title. Seemingly down and out after Dominik Szoboszlai's incredible free-kick, Pep Guardiola's side pulled off a frantic comeback against Liverpool to snatch a 2-1 win and record their first victory in front of an Anfield crowd in 23 years. Erling Haaland set up the equaliser for Bernardo Silva and then sealed the win from the penalty spot to end his own poor run at the home of the Reds.

Transfer news and done deals 🤝

  1. Jesus sends Ronaldo transfer ultimatum to Al-Nassr board

    Jorge Jesus has reportedly sent an ultimatum to Al-Nassr’s board, with the Portuguese coach making it clear that his future in the Saudi Pro League is directly tied to that of fellow countryman Cristiano Ronaldo. CR7 has taken to going on strike of late, as grievances in the Middle East are aired, and there is an exit clause in his contract that can be triggered in the summer transfer window.

  2. Why Rashford is still not in Man Utd's future plans

    Marcus Rashford has seen a summer return to Manchester United speculated on - once a loan spell at Barcelona comes to a close - but it is claimed that the Red Devils are “still planning for the future without” the England international in mind. The expectation for now is that a purchase option on the 28-year-old forward will be taken up by La Liga title hopefuls.

  3. Harry Kane

    Saudi Pro League clubs make contact with Bayern star Kane

    Harry Kane has been targeted by Saudi Pro League clubs ahead of the summer transfer window, per a new report from Kicker. The England captain has a contract until 2027 but the new report states that a release clause may well exist in his current deal. Kane has impressed again this season with Bayern, scoring 24 times in just 21 Bundesliga games for the Bavarians.

This is the Premier League

  1. Man Utd icon Ferdinand in hospital regularly & using wheelchair

    Manchester United legend Rio Ferdinand has opened up about the devastating physical toll of his illustrious career, revealing that chronic back pain occasionally leaves him unable to walk. The 47-year-old, who famously anchored the Red Devils' defence for over a decade, admitted to requiring hospital treatment and a wheelchair during severe flare-ups as the cost of his success becomes clear.

Queens of football 👑

  1. Aluko aims ANOTHER dig at Wright over Lionesses pundit selection

    Eni Aluko has renewed her public criticism of the choice of male pundits in women's football, aiming a dig towards Ian Wright and Nedum Onuoha for their TV roles covering the Lionesses' Euro 2025 final at ITV and the BBC, respectively. This is not the first time that Aluko has called out a perceived lack of opportunities for female pundits, criticising Wright in the past for his prominent place within the women's game before issuing a public apology for her words.

  2. Lehmann reveals she 'didn't go outside' after online hate

    Leicester City's Alisha Lehmann has revealed she did not want to venture out of her house and instead remained in bed all day when she struggled to deal with a spate of online hate. The Switzerland international has lifted the lid on how being one of the most followed footballers on the planet has impacted her on a day-to-day basis and how at times she was unable to cope.

Superstars of the future

  1. Why Italy are desperate to cap Atalanta's new wonderkid

    Honest Ahanor is just 17 years old - and yet on Sunday he started his fifth successive game for Atalanta, against Como. Unfortunately, Ahanor's afternoon came to an abrupt end - and quite literally by his own hand. Just eight minutes into the game at Sinigaglia, the defender was involved in an innocuous, off-the-ball clash with Maxi Perrone, who shamelessly collapsed to the ground as if Ahanor had struck him in the face.

  2. Why Chelsea fought off Man Utd & Liverpool to sign teen Alao

    Another transfer window and another highly-rated prospect is on their way to Chelsea. The club's youth policy has struck again, with the west Londoners landing 17-year-old full-back Yisa Alao from financially troubled Sheffield Wednesday. Despite his very limited experience at senior level, the teenager provoked a transfer tug-of-war between three Premier League giants, but it is the Blues who have emerged victorious.

The Chaaaaaampions 🎶

  1. 'Europa League isn't enough!' - Pochettino flirts with Tottenham return

    Mauricio Pochettino has once again indicated that he wants to return to Tottenham as he claimed their recent achievements are "not enough" for a club of that stature. Despite his current commitments with the United States national team, the Argentine said his ultimate ambition is to win the Champions League and Premier League, placing them above achieving World Cup glory in his current role.

  2. Disaster for Real Madrid as Rodrygo's UCL ban is extended

    Real Madrid’s Champions League campaign has suffered a significant blow after Rodrygo was handed an extended two-match suspension by UEFA. The Brazilian was sent off during a dramatic 4-2 defeat to Benfica, and his punishment ensures he will miss both legs of the upcoming knockout play-off rematch against the Portuguese giants. With stars like Jude Bellingham also sidelined, head coach Alvaro Arbeloa faces a major tactical crisis.

  3. Future winner? Yamal responds to Ballon d’Or question

    Lamine Yamal finished as runner-up in the 2025 Ballon d’Or vote and the Barcelona wonderkid insists that winning a Golden Ball is not something that he gives much thought to. The talented teenager would prefer to focus on collective trophy targets at Camp Nou, rather than individual accolades, with there still plenty for him to try and achieve in 2026.

MUNDIAL

Hall of Fame

  1. Hall of Fame: How Platini became 'The King'

    Michel Platini is undoubtedly one of the greatest footballers of all time. Playmaker, assister, goal-scorer: Platini was a complete player, capable of leaving an indelible mark on world football between the late 1970s and mid-1980s. He was the perfect No.10, embodying the true essence of the shirt number both then and now.

  2. Hall of fame Roberto Carlos

    Hall of Fame: Roberto Carlos - the greatest full-back in history

    Modernising the role of a full-back 30 years ago, Roberto Carlos undoubtedly set the benchmark. A tactical genius and a physical specimen, the Real Madrid and Brazil legend won countless trophies at club and international level, contributing bucket loads of goals and assists. No one in the past, present or future can ever claim to be his equal - he was that good.

  3. Hall of Fame: Why Beckham is such an underrated player

    One of the best midfielders of his era, perhaps the greatest crosser of a football ever and a free-kick taker to rival the best the game has ever produced, David Beckham was a special player to say the least. And yet due to his off-field impact, one of the sport's great champions of the past 30 years is generally forgotten when it comes to referencing the true legends of the game.

  4. Hall of Fame: Romario - Brazil's penalty-box panther

    Romario moved around the penalty area with the stealthy gait and sly gaze of a panther, ready to suddenly accelerate as soon as the ball came his way, to disorient the opposing defenders with a couple of feints, to pounce on the ball, which inevitably ended up at his feet, as if magnetised, and finish with an unstoppable shot of pure technique or power, or alternatively serve up a perfect assist for one of his team-mates. He was a Hall of Fame striker if ever there was one.

Rebel United

  1. Mario Basler

    Rebel United: Bayern icon who got drunk before the UCL final

    Teddy Sheringham. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. "Football, bloody hell!" The 1999 Champions League final is one of the greatest dramas in the history of Bayern Munich. The German giants led for a long time in Barcelona before Manchester United snatched the trophy they thought was theirs in stoppage time. But according to one member of the Bayern team, he actually won that final. "Actually, I'm a Champions League winner," claims the latest member of GOAL's Rebel United, Mario Basler.

  2. George Best

    Rebel United: George Best - Man Utd's 'fifth Beatle'

    In 1969, at the age of 23, George Best wanted to focus solely on the essentials. Just football, just his job. So he turned his back on his two other great passions, alcohol and women. His sobering conclusion: "It was the worst 20 minutes of my life." A Manchester United legend, that quote sums up Bet's rebellious attitude towards football, and life in general.

Hidden Gems FC

  1. Hidden Gems FC: Roefs' rise to Premier League star

    Robin Roefs' story reads like a fairy tale. The 22-year-old goalkeeper is only in his second season as a first-choice shot-stopper, and yet he is already considered one of the better No.1s in the Premier League. A place in the Netherlands' starting line-up at the World Cup is now not out of the question for the latest of GOAL's Hidden Gems.

  2. Hidden Gems FC: The rise of N'Golo Kante

    On September 15, 2018, N'Golo Kante walked off the Stamford Bridge pitch, satisfied. As was often the case, the Frenchman had just covered every blade of grass over the course of the 90 minutes. And, as was so often the case, he was not one of the major speaking points at full-time. Not right away, at least.

  3. Hidden Gems FC: Drogba, Toni & football's top 10 late bloomers

    Anyone that manages to carve out a career for themselves in professional football is ridiculously talented. The standard at the highest level is just so high that it is simply impossible to 'fake it 'til you make it'. However, not everyone is as prodigiously gifted as Lionel Messi or Lamine Yamal. Your average player will require some time to get to grips with the rigours of the elite game.
