Why Inter Miami’s MLS Cup win could be just the beginning

  1. Szoboszlai bounces back in style but returning Salah struggles

    Mohamed Salah may have made his long-awaited return to action for Liverpool on Wednesday, but it was Dominik Szoboszlai who stole the show as Arne Slot's side took a massive step towards automatic qualification for the last 16 of the Champions League with a massive 3-0 win in Marseille. While all eyes were on Salah on his first start for the Reds since returning from the Africa Cup of Nations - not to mention his stunning attack on Slot back in December - the Egyptian had a pretty poor game.

  2. Caicedo to the rescue for Chelsea as Delap & Co. flop

    Moises Caicedo stepped up to keep Chelsea's hopes of earning an automatic place in the Champions League's last 16 alive as they battled to a 1-0 win over Pafos on Wednesday. The Blues dominated throughout in west London but struggled to find a way past goalkeeper Jay Gorter before Caicedo eventually broke the deadlock with 12 minutes left on the clock.

  3. Lopez bags brace but Pedri injury casts shadow over UCL thriller

    Barcelona recovered from a nightmare start to beat Slavia Prague 4-2 in the Champions League on Wednesday night. Fermin Lopez scored twice in the first half, while Dani Olmo and Robert Lewandowski were also on target for Hansi Flick's side to keep their hopes of a top-eight finish - and automatic qualification to the knockout stages of the tournament - alive going into the final round of group fixtures.

  4. Six reasons why Man Utd WILL finish in the top four

    Even though they had waited three years to beat Manchester City at Old Trafford and far longer to do so with such authority, Manchester United's emphatic victory in last weekend's derby was the easy part. Any team, especially one with a new manager who is steeped in the club's glorious history, can get up for a match with their biggest rivals and win it.

  1. USA, Mexico slide in FIFA men's rankings after AFCON shake-up

    The January 2026 FIFA World Ranking was heavily influenced by the conclusion of the CAF Africa Cup of Nations, with several African nations making major gains. Senegal’s strong tournament run pushed them up seven places to 12th overall, directly affecting both the USMNT and Mexico, who dropped to 15th and 16th, respectively.

  2. World Cup Power Rankings: AFCON champs Senegal surge

    There really is nothing like the World Cup. Even just qualifying generates a level of nationwide excitement that the club game simply cannot match, which is why we witnessed truly joyous scenes all across the globe during the November international break, as 14 more countries booked their seat at next summer's festival of football in North America.

  3. FIFA gets record 500M ticket requests for 2026 World Cup

    FIFA says it received more than 500 million ticket requests for the 2026 World Cup during its month-long Random Selection Draw application window, highlighting unprecedented global demand for the first-ever 48-team tournament across the United States, Mexico and Canada.

Expert Opinion & Analysis

  1. Title-holder or not, the Liverpool sack looms for Slot

    The boos that greeted the full-time whistle at Anfield on Saturday were both loud and clear - albeit not to Arne Slot. "In my head," the Liverpool manager said, "it wasn't a boo." And maybe he's right. Maybe the visiting fans were saying 'Boo-urnley'?! Of course, this is no time for clumsy references or silly jokes. The situation at Liverpool is undeniably absurd (has a 12-game undefeated run ever been so poorly received?!), but it's no laughing matter as far as the supporters are concerned.

  2. England should go nowhere near Greenwood despite OM exploits

    Mason Greenwood is preparing for arguably the most high-profile match of his Marseille career so far as Premier League champions Liverpool arrive on the south coast of France. But while the Champions League clash will be talked up as an audition for England's World Cup squad in some grubby corners of the internet, the reality is that the damage done to Greenwood's reputation in his homeland is irreparable - regardless of his exploits at Stade Velodrome.

  3. RANKED: Liverpool's CB targets after failing to land Guehi

    Liverpool are in a mess all of their own making. The Reds knew that they were short on senior centre-backs last summer and had ample time to address the problem before the close of the transfer window - yet they waited until deadline day to finalise a move for Marc Guehi. So, when Crystal Palace pulled the plug on the deal at the 11th hour, Liverpool were left in the very, very precarious position of needing Ibrahima Konate to continue performing at a high level, Joe Gomez to stay fit and teenage summer signing Giovanni Leoni to make an immediate impact at Anfield.

  4. Jesus makes starting claim - but Gyokeres responds in style

    Gabriel Jesus' virtuoso display secured Arsenal a top-two spot in the league phase of the Champions League as they earned an impressive 3-1 win at Inter. The Brazil forward stole the show in Italy to stake his claim to be the Gunners' starting striker going forward, only for substitute Viktor Gyokeres to fire in a timely reminder to Mikel Arteta as his side maintained their 100 per cent record in Europe this season.

  5. Boo that! Vinicius silences the haters in Monaco mauling

    Vinicius Jr was back to his brilliant best and Kylian Mbappe bagged a brace as Real Madrid battered Monaco, 6-1, on Tuesday. Vinicius provided three assists, scored a wonderful goal and was a constant menace. Mbappe opened the scoring with two goals of hisown, while an unfortunate own goal from Thilo Kehrer and a smooth strike from Jude Bellingham rounded off a memorable night in Alvaro Arbeloa's first Champions League game in charge.

Premier League

  1. Man Utd legend tells Maguire & Shaw to 'move on'

    Manchester United legend Paul Parker has taken aim at defensive pair Harry Maguire and Luke Shaw, telling the duo 'it's time to move on'. Centre-back Maguire made his first league start since their 2-2 draw with Tottenham in November in Saturday's 2-0 win over rivals Manchester City as the towering centre-back partnered Lisandro Martinez at the heart of the defence, while left-back Shaw returned to his natural position.

  2. 'Own manager bantering you!' - Slot angers Liverpool fans

    Arne Slot has come under scrutiny after admitting he's "surprised" to hear that his position at the club is in the spotlight amid an underwhelming season. The Reds are a distant 14 points behind leaders Arsenal in the Premier League and there has been speculation Slot could depart at the end of the season. However, the Dutch coach is confident he retains the faith of the club's fans.

Transfer News

  1. Pogba backed for Wrexham transfer as step towards new career

    Former Manchester United star Paul Pogba has been tipped to seal a shock transfer to Wrexham before he hangs up his boots. The 32-year-old has returned to football at Ligue 1 side Monaco, after a spell out of the game due to a doping ban, but former France and Manchester United striker Louis Saha thinks he could be a good option for Ryan Reynolds and Rob Mac's side.

  2. Van de Ven of 'keen interest' to Liverpool

    Liverpool have reportedly identified Micky van de Ven as a potential target in their search to bring in a new centre-back. The Reds remain shorthanded in defence and though they may not enter the January market for immediate reinforcements, they are said to be keen on the Tottenham star in the long term following an impressive two-and-a-half years in the Premier League so far.

Women's Soccer

  1. Como star Lehmann in talks over sensational WSL return

    Alisha Lehmann has been linked with a return to the Women's Super League, just over 18 months after she left for Italy. The Swiss international ended a three-year stint at Aston Villa in mid-2024 before signing for Juventus with then-boyfriend Douglas Luiz. Last summer, she made the switch to Como after struggling for game time, and now Lehmann could be coming back to English football.

  2. FA Cup cruise for holders Chelsea as Kerr bags a brace

    Defending champions Chelsea opened up their Women’s FA Cup campaign with a comprehensive 5-0 victory over Crystal Palace on Saturday. The free-scoring Blues booked their place in the fifth round thanks to a brace from Sam Kerr and goals from Millie Bright, Guro Reiten and Alyssa Thompson, with Sonia Bompastor's side a class above their WSL 2 opponents at Kingsmeadow.
