Transfers in women's football have gone crazy in the last 18 months. It was in January of last year that Naomi Girma became the first million-dollar player in the sport and yet she is now already only the sixth most-expensive women's player of all time, with seven-figure fees suddenly becoming more and more frequent as the game grows.

The Argentine made the difference as usual in a wild, chaotic attacking game that saw Inter Miami trail twice before overcoming FC Cincinnati.

Phil Foden helped keep Manchester City's Premier League title hopes alive by creating two goals in Wednesday's night's vital 3-0 victory over Crystal Palace at the Etihad, while simultaneously providing Thomas Tuchel a timely reminder of his qualities. Foden's place in England's World Cup is very much in doubt at the moment but he unquestionably made the most of a rare opportunity to start for City, as Pep Guardiola made six changes with Saturday's FA Cup final against Chelsea in mind.

GOAL makes its predictions for Mexico's World Cup squad as Javier Aguirre weighs Ochoa's history chase, rising stars, injury concerns and late roster battles.

Real Madrid are in trouble. And when Real Madrid are in trouble, Florentino Perez always asks those around him, "Is there anything to be said for bringing back Jose Mourinho?" Why? Because hiring Mourinho worked once before. Kind of. Back in 2010, Madrid had been put in an unbearable position by Barcelona. They weren't just being beaten by their most hated rivals, they were being embarrassed by them. So, Perez turned to Mourinho, the self-anointed 'Special One' who had just upset Pep Guardiola's pass-masters - in every sense - on his way to winning a European Cup with Inter.

For Liverpool's bitterly frustrated fans, watching Chelsea end a six-game losing streak by claiming a thoroughly deserved point at Anfield on Saturday was bad enough. However, Monday's news that the Blues are now exploring a deal to appoint Xabi Alonso as their next permanent boss has come as an even bigger blow to a set of supporters struggling to see any light at the end of the tunnel right now.

The midfielder remains at the center of one of American soccer’s fiercest debates, and he has now had his say before that debate gets something of an answer soon.

The FOX analyst is about to cover his ninth World Cup, and remains the leading voice in American soccer - despite being admittedly controversial along the way

There are questions to be asked about the USMNT, and plenty of storylines from top South American teams with the tournament looming.

Tottenham threw away two huge points in their fight for Premier League survival as they were held to a 1-1 draw by already-safe Leeds on Monday night. Spurs looked on course for a crucial victory when Mathys Tel fired home an unstoppable strike shortly after half-time, but the Frenchman turned villain when he conceded a needless penalty to gift the visitors a route back into the game with 20 minutes to play, and Roberto De Zerbi's side were unable to find a winner.
