'Things will go my way again' - How adversity is shaping Musah

  1. Four goals in four months - why do Barca want to keep Rashford?

    Xavier Vilajoana made headlines during his failed bid to become Barcelona's new president by claiming to have already made "some contact" with Bayern Munich superstar Harry Kane over a move to Camp Nou. In reality, though, the most interesting topic the industrial engineer raised while on the campaign trail centered around another Englishman in Marcus Rashford.

  2. Only Poch can save Spurs - but they must survive first

    Tottenham are hurtling towards disaster. They could be relegated from the Premier League, and at this point of this season from hell, their best hope of staying up may simply be that football can change very quickly. There are still several key players to return from injury for the run-in, but that may prove too little, too late, particularly with the vibes in an almost irreversible tailspin.

  4. ICONS: Zidane - the troubled rise of a football genius

    From humiliation to redemption, from doubt to eternal glory - this is the story of how Zinedine Zidane rose from the shadows to lead France to their greatest triumph. At the 1998 World Cup, the shy playmaker from Marseille became the face of a new nation, turning pain into pride and silence into legend.

U.S. MEN'S NATIONAL TEAM

  1. Infantino: World Cup will be a ‘total party’

    FIFA President Gianni Infantino insists the 2026 World Cup will be a flawless global celebration, brushing aside mounting anxieties over escalating geopolitical tensions in the Middle East. Despite the USA and Israel conflict with Iran disrupting football calendars, causing widespread visa chaos, and forcing Iraq to request a delay, FIFA remains solely focused on record ticket sales.

  2. USMNT star McKennie embraces 'pressure' of home World Cup

    Weston McKennie admits that the USMNT will be under “pressure” to deliver at a home World Cup, but considers that level of expectation to bring with it “extra motivation”. The United States is counting down the days to another major tournament on American soil, with McKennie explaining to GOAL how Mauricio Pochettino’s squad will handle the demands of heat and travel.

  3. 📽️ | USMNT star McKennie slapped by boss after Juve goal

    USMNT star Weston McKennie was bizarrely slapped by his own manager after seeing Juventus score a goal in their 4-0 victory over Pisa. The United States international midfielder played the full 90 minutes of that contest, having lined up at wing-back, but may have been left sporting a sore head afterwards after being clipped on the cheek by Luciano Spalletti.

Expert Opinion & Analysis

  1. Madrid & Man City's UCL rivalry is anything but boring

    When Real Madrid were paired with Manchester City in the Champions League last-16, the groans could be heard all the way from Plaza Mayor to Piccadilly Gardens: 'Again?!' The complaints were entirely predictable and, at some level, understandable. By the end of the second leg next Tuesday, the two teams will have faced each other 11 times in the past five seasons, and on 17 occasions since 2012.

  2. Has Osimhen missed his chance to join a UCL contender?

    It's been a little over two years since Victor Osimhen revealed that he'd made up his mind on which club to join after Napoli. Just three days later, Partenopei president Aurelio De Laurentiis revealed that the striker would "go to Real Madrid, Paris Saint-Germain or some Premier League team". Osimhen instead ended up in Istanbul playing for Galatasaray, the biggest team in Turkey but not exactly the destination the Nigeria international had in mind when he announced his intention to leave Naples.

  3. LEGACY: Gijon to Porto Alegre - Algeria's World Cup journey

    This is Legacy, GOAL’s feature and podcast series that counts down to the 2026 World Cup. Each week, we explore the stories and the spirit behind the nations that define the world’s game. This time we look back at one of football’s most emotional journeys: Algeria’s road from Gijon to Porto Alegre. From the heartbreak of 1982 to the pride of 2014, it’s the story of a team that turned injustice into identity, and showed the world that, for Algeria, the dream never dies.

  4. Brits Abroad: Trent & Rashford roasted by Spanish press

    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. Winners & losers from the Lionesses first camp of 2026

    Some England camps pass by without there being much new to learn; the Lionesses' first camp of 2026 was not one of those. As Sarina Wiegman's side returned to competitive action for the first time since their triumphant European Championship campaign, getting off to a perfect start in qualifying for the 2027 Women's World Cup with impressive wins over both Ukraine and Iceland, a whole host of talking points were created.

Premier League

  1. Porro breaks silence on apparent touchline outburst at Tudor

    Pedro Porro has moved to clarify his relationship with Tottenham interim head coach Igor Tudor following a visible show of frustration during the club's recent defeat to Crystal Palace. The Spaniard’s outburst sparked rumours of dressing room unrest as Spurs prepare for a daunting Champions League trip to Atletico Madrid. However, Porro has now insisted that Tudor was not the target of his anger.

  1. Jones, Yeboah receive lifetime bans for betting on own games

The duo bet on numerous games, including ones they were playing in, during the 2024 and 2025 seasons, and after an extensive investigation, have been prevented from playing in the league. Neither player is signed with an MLS club.

  2. Xavi claims Laporta BLOCKED Messi's Barca homecoming

    Former Barcelona manager Xavi Hernandez has dropped a massive bombshell, claiming that Joan Laporta deliberately vetoed Lionel Messi's return to the club in 2023. Despite securing La Liga approval to re-sign the eight-time Ballon d'Or winner that summer, Laporta allegedly blocked the transfer, shattering fans' dreams.

Transfer News

  1. Revealed: How Bayern Munich plan to end Kane transfer talk

    Bayern Munich reportedly have a plan up their sleeve that will bring the transfer talk raging around Harry Kane to a close. They have seen the England captain pass 500 career goals this season, with 130 of those being recorded since moving to Germany in 2023. Exit clauses in his current deal are said to have expired, with an update being delivered on extension plans.

  2. Bayern director confirms contract talks with star 'on hold'

    Bayern Munich sporting director Max Eberl has confirmed that contract negotiations with Konrad Laimer have reached a temporary impasse. The Austrian international, who has established himself as a vital cog in the Bavarian machine this season, is currently under contract until June 2027. Despite his growing importance to the first team, the club and player appear to be some distance apart regarding the financial terms of a potential extension.
