  1. Italy World Cup failure GFX GOAL

    Italy may never recover from third World Cup apocalypse

    Gianluigi Donnarumma was one of just a number of Italy players reduced to tears by Tuesday's World Cup play-off loss to Bosnia and Herzegovina - but the penalty shootout defeat in Zenica hit the goalkeeper harder than most. This wasn't the first time he'd been involved in a failed attempt to qualify - it was the third. Despite his devastation, though, Donnarumma remained defiant.

    Salah farewell tour will fall flat if he can't rediscover old magic

    There was always a chance that Liverpool would announce a high-profile departure during the international break and, just three days after their latest Premier League setback at Brighton, the Reds confirmed that Mohamed Salah would be leaving at the end of the current campaign. The timing of the announcement surprised some, but Salah had successfully pushed for the news to be made public more than two months before the end of the season in what felt like an obvious attempt to control the narrative surrounding his painful and unexpectedly early exit.

    Trent & Watkins in, Foden out: GOAL's ideal England squad

    The road to the 2026 World Cup is almost over for England. The next time the Three Lions convene, they will do so for two pre-tournament friendlies in the United States, against Costa Rica and New Zealand, before kicking-off their tournament against Croatia on June 17. They will do so as one of the favourites to go all the way, with the pressure on Thomas Tuchel and his players to finally end 60 years of hurt.

    What are Spurs thinking?! De Zerbi is the WRONG manager

    So here we are again, Tottenham Hotspur. Seven games into the Igor Tudor reign that was supposed to save Spurs from relegation, they look more doomed than ever before. They are one point outside the Premier League's bottom three and are the only side without a win in the top-flight in 2026. Every time they seem to have turned a corner, a new disaster is waiting for them just ahead.

    Tuchel is WRONG: Maguire must make the England squad

    You cannot fault Thomas Tuchel when it comes to honesty. This is a coach who said on national radio that his mother finds star player Jude Bellingham "repulsive", who told England fans at Wembley off for being "silent" in a friendly against Wales and said Bukayo Saka's goal tally for the Three Lions, the highest of any Arsenal player in history, was not good enough.

    PSG are shameless for invoking Hillsborough in Ligue 1 fiasco

    Paris Saint-Germain are the best side in European football. They are the current holders of the Champions League for good reason, boasting top-line talent that fights for one another as a proper team and not like their faux-Galacticos of the past. In the dugout, they are led by one of football's brightest minds and most-respected man-managers. But the legitimacy of their title defence is now being rightly called into question.

  2. Neymar World Cup dream GFXGOAL

    Is Neymar's World Cup dream already over?

    Neymar found himself back in headlines across Europe last week after he was brought up as a topic of debate on The Overlap. Gary Neville introduced a new 'Unpopular Opinions' segment, and kicked it off with the following statement: "No Premier League player in history is better than a prime Neymar."

  3. Arne Slot leaving Liverpool GFXGOAL

    Why is Salah leaving Liverpool and not Slot or Hughes?

    After the mini-montage of memorable Mohamed Salah moments, the man himself entered the frame and took a seat in front of his colossal trophy cabinet. After a brief pause, and a deep breath that turned into a sigh, he began to speak, "Hello, everyone, unfortunately, the day has come." And there can't have been a single football fan across the world that didn't know what that meant: Salah was leaving Liverpool.

    Man Utd MUST upgrade full-backs to go to next level

    Michael Carrick instantly solved one of Manchester United's biggest problems from the Ruben Amorim era by simply playing Luke Shaw and Diogo Dalot in their natural positions. The full-backs have started all nine games under the former Red Devils midfielder, playing their part in the coach's astonishing run of seven victories, one draw and one defeat thus far.
