England star Alessia Russo has fond memories of facing Sweden in Euros action, with her last outing delivering a stunning backheel goal.

Ruben Dias has professed his “love” for Maya Jama, with the Manchester City defender and Love Island presenter holidaying in Florida.

Australia in July reminds James McClean of Wrexham, with the Red Dragons captain left feeling like he has been “travelling 21 hours to go home”.

The latest 442oons parody clip sees Ballon d’Or-winning superstars such as Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo reduced to tears as Chelsea talisman Cole Palmer makes his GOAT selection. Which icon did England international Palmer pick and who else - from Serie A to the Premier League via La Liga and the Bundesliga - has reacted to his choice? Watch the full video to find out!

Harry Kane has, during an exclusive chat with GOAL, named the four retired strikers that would see their faces carved into his sporting Mount Rushmore. Only those who have hung up their boots were in contention for selection, meaning that all-time greats such as Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo are overlooked for now. Some iconic figures did, however, make the cut.

It is being suggested that Barcelona are mulling over a move that would see Mason Greenwood and Marcus Rashford reunited in Catalunya. The Liga giants have already acquired one former Manchester United winger, with a productive loan spell being enjoyed by Rashford in 2025-26, and it is now being claimed that their sights are locked on another who continues to impress at Marseille.

Son Heung-min could be set for a sensational return to the Premier League during the January transfer window of 2026, with the LAFC star reportedly seeing a “David Beckham clause” inserted in the contract which took him to MLS. The former Tottenham forward has made a stunning impact in the United States, but his association with the European game may not be over.

They say that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, and Cristiano Ronaldo has grown accustomed to seeing his iconic goal celebration mimicked down the years. Screams of ‘Siuuu’ are no longer reserved solely for the Portuguese GOAT, with LA Rams wide receiver Davante Adams leading Wembley Stadium in a rendition of that during the latest instalment of NFL International Series games in 2025.

Manchester United cult hero Diego Forlan has been hospitalised after suffering a partially-collapsed lung and three broken ribs during an appearance for a veterans team in his native Uruguay. The 46-year-old former striker was involved in a sickening collision that saw him require urgent treatment on the field before being rushed to a nearby medical facility.

Neymar, who is nursing another injury at present, was brutally trolled by a domestic rival in the Brazilian top-flight while watching Santos suffer a potentially damaging defeat to Vitoria. Matheuzinho registered the only goal of the game in that contest, and took to breaking out Neymar’s iconic goal celebration after hitting the net. Brazil’s all-time leading scorer was left less than impressed in the crowd.

Cristiano Ronaldo’s son has earned a maiden call-up to the Portugal U16 squad, with the talented teenager continuing his impressive rise through the youth ranks with club and country. Cristiano Jr is, like his superstar father, currently on the books of Saudi Pro League side Al-Nassr. Eye-catching performances in the Middle East are allowing international selections to be earned.

Lionel Messi has another record to add to his collection, with the history books being rewritten in MLS. The Argentine GOAT continues to deliver magical performances for Inter Miami on a regular basis. The most recent of those saw him net a hat-trick against Nashville, with those heroics earning the South American icon a historic Player of the Matchday award.

‘Outrage’ in the Atletico Madrid camp is said to have seen the Liga giants lodge a formal complaint to UEFA about Emirates Stadium. The Spanish outfit are in north London for a Champions League clash with Arsenal. They trained at the Gunners’ famous home on Monday, but were left without hot water on site - leading to contact being made with European football’s governing body.

Tom Brady is being backed to “repeat” his NFL success with Birmingham City as the seven-time Super Bowl winner is “really energetic” and a “purposeful person”. Brady is accustomed to getting what he wants and, as a minority stakeholder at St Andrew’s, one of his goals now is to see Premier League football return to the West Midlands as soon as possible.

Ryan Reynolds and Rob Mac are being tipped to spend again at Wrexham, with Tony Pulis making a January transfer prediction. He expects further reinforcements to be sought in the next window, but has warned the Red Dragons - who are taking aim at a place in the Premier League - not to “anticipate a top-six finish or immediate promotion” out of the Championship.

Wayne Rooney is backing Harry Maguire for a World Cup recall with England after seeing the Manchester United defender come through “bullying” that saw him become a “meme” at one stage. The commanding centre-half has not enjoyed the easiest of times at Old Trafford, but he was given plenty to smile about when netting a dramatic winner against Liverpool last time out.
