  1. Will Broos pick Chaine instead? Broos warned about Williams: He's disappointing & vulnerable'

    As Mzansi's focus turns to the upcoming global showpiece, coach Hugo Broos is a man that is expected to be under an enormous spotlight. This is because the tactician will name his squad, and as usual, the fans and pundits alike will debate who should have been picked and who should not. But the Belgian is a bold tactician who is never afraid of antagonising people regardless of what they say about his selection.

  2. Leeds striker 'very interested' in La Liga transfer

    Leeds United are prepared to sanction a permanent exit for Mateo Joseph this summer as the forward sets his sights on a long-term future in Spain. Despite the youngster's potential, he does not figure in Daniel Farke's plans as the Whites look to reshape their squad for another Premier League campaign.

  3. Anthony Davis has delivered a scathing rebuke to the Los Angeles Lakers in the wake of the Luka Doncic trade talks, expressing frustration over the franchise’s handling of its futu

    Anthony Davis has once again given the Los Angeles Lakers a public dressing-down over the way his potential trade for Luka Doncic was handled. The All-Star centre, who has spent the past four seasons in purple and gold, expressed his frustration in a series of candid comments that left little to the imagination. Davis claimed that team officials botched the process, failed to keep him informed, and ultimately undermined his trust in the organisation. While the specifics remain murky, league sources indicate that the Lakers explored a blockbuster deal that would have sent Davis to Dallas in exchange for the Mavericks’ young star, Luka Doncic. Such a move would have reshaped both franchises, but it never materialised, leaving Davis to question the Lakers’ long-term vision. In his latest broadside, Davis suggested that the front office’s lack of communication forced him to consider his future with the club. He stressed that he wants to win championships, and he will not tolerate half-meas

  4. Vinicius Junior

    “Embarrassing and confusing”: Vinicius Jr. faces fierce criticism Real Madrid winger Vinicius Jr. has found himself on the receiving end of sharp public criticism in recent days. T

    Roy Keane is unlikely to be a big fan of Vinicius Junior any time soon. Following Real Madrid’s defeat in the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final against Bayern Munich, the Premier League legend has once again lashed out at the Brazilian. Keane, never one to mince words, delivered his verdict with typical bluntness. In his eyes, Vinicius—who had been targeted by critics for his flamboyant style and perceived lack of end product—once again failed to justify the hype surrounding him. The former Manchester United captain argued that the young forward’s performance lacked the necessary steel and discipline required at the highest level, suggesting that flashy skills alone do not win trophies. For Keane, Real Madrid’s 2-1 loss in Munich exposed the fragility of a side that relies too heavily on individual brilliance rather than collective effort. He pointed to Vinicius as a symbol of that imbalance, insisting that the player’s tendency to dribble into blind alleys handed Bayer

  5. Slot explains why he didn't bring Salah on against PSG

    Liverpool manager Arne Slot has raised eyebrows by explaining that his decision to leave Mohamed Salah on the bench against Paris Saint-Germain was because his side was in "survival mode". Despite trailing 2-0 and failing to register a single shot on target, the Egyptian superstar remained an unused substitute throughout the Champions League quarter-final first leg.

  6. Unleash Dowman! Arsenal should start teen star in EPL run-in

    Much has been made of Arsenal's quadruple charge being dashed and downgraded to a double dream over the last few weeks, but that's still nothing to be sniffed at. The Gunners have an excellent chance of claiming the two top prizes available to them, though they are in danger of limping across the finish line rather than marching over it with the authority of champions.

  7. Chelsea slump shows Maresca is right Pep replacement

    As Enzo Maresca gazed out at the ocean from his infinity pool, he must have been grateful he was no longer managing Chelsea. From defeats at the hands of Newcastle, Everton and Paris Saint-Germain to controversies ranging from 'respecting the ball' to Marc Cucurella and Enzo Fernandez heavily hinting that they would be open to leaving, Stamford Bridge resembles a battlefield when compared to Maresca's recent idyllic getaway in the Maldives.

  8. After just three months in the Saudi Arabian spotlight, Cristiano Ronaldo’s latest performances are already casting a shadow over Lionel Messi and Al-Hilal’s domestic supremacy. Th

    Will the Portuguese star leave through the front door? The question echoes around the stadium and beyond. Cristiano Ronaldo’s potential departure from Manchester United is the talking point of the football world. Having arrived in 2003 as a raw teenager with a mohawk and departed a decade later as a Ballon d’Or winner, he returned in 2021 eager to add more silverware to his collection. Yet here we are, less than two years on, with rumours swirling that he could once again walk out of Old Trafford. So what does it mean to “leave through the front door”? In football parlance, it is a phrase that suggests departing on good terms, head held high, reputation intact. It implies gratitude for the memories, respect for the club and its supporters, and a clear path to the next challenge. For a player of Ronaldo’s stature, it also means acknowledging his own legacy while leaving room for the next generation to flourish. The alternative—slinking out the back way—is unthinkable for a man who has b

  9. According to the latest reports, Borussia Dortmund are poised to secure another convincing victory when they travel to Elversberg. The Schwarzgelben, fresh from their midweek trium

    Borussia Dortmund may once again approach SV Elversberg in a bid to recruit another official following the departure of sporting director Ole Book. The Bundesliga club’s interest underlines the growing reputation of Elversberg’s back-room staff, and sources close to the situation suggest that talks could begin as early as next week. Dortmund’s scouts have been impressed by the 34-year-old’s analytical approach to talent identification and his ability to nurture young players, qualities that align closely with the Yellow-Blacks’ long-term strategy. For Elversberg, the potential loss would be significant, as the official in question has played a key role in helping the club secure promotion to the third tier and establish a sustainable structure off the pitch. However, the opportunity to join a Champions League outfit is expected to be difficult to resist, and club officials are already preparing contingency plans should the approach prove successful. Dortmund, meanwhile, is eager to mov
