  1. CAF official hits out at Morocco AFCON title award

    The fallout from the Africa Cup of Nations final has reached a boiling point after a senior official at the Confederation of African Football (CAF) broke ranks to slam his own governing body. Augustin Senghor, an executive committee member and former head of the Senegalese Football Federation, believes the decision to overturn the match result and hand the trophy to Morocco is a bridge too far.

  2. Humiliation for Harry Maguire as Man Utd throw it away

    Harry Maguire marked his return to the England squad in an unwanted manner as he was sent off in Manchester United's disappointing 2-2 draw at Bournemouth. The Red Devils twice took the lead in the second half, from a Bruno Fernandes penalty and then an own goal by James Hill. But they were pegged back each time and had reason to complain for the Cherries' first equaliser.

  3. Arsenal Carabao Cup win would finally signal changing of guard

    Arsenal will look to end their six-year trophy drought on Sunday when they take on rivals Manchester City in the Carabao Cup final at Wembley. Going back even further, the Gunners haven't won silverware in front of live fans since their 2017 FA Cup triumph, a time when Arsene Wenger was still manager and Mikel Arteta had just completed his first season as Pep Guardiola's assistant.

  4. Time for Haaland to stay humble & end Wembley hoodoo

    "It sharpens your mind, and there are clear similarities to football," said Erling Haaland when he announced his investment in the Total Chess World Championship this week. "You have to think quickly, trust your instincts, and think several moves ahead. Strategy and planning are everything." The Manchester City striker’s strategy cannot be faulted except at one stadium in particular: Wembley.

  5. Foden is a lucky boy - but Trent still can't win over Tuchel

    Thomas Tuchel has unveiled his England squad for this month's friendlies at home to Uruguay and Japan. These fixtures will be the final two chances for the German to examine his squad in detail before the end of the club season, and he's gone a bit rogue in how he's decided on his roster, naming an expanded 35-player selection but effectively splitting the team in two.

  6. How Arteta turned sizzling Arsenal-City rivalry on its head

    The last time Manchester City and Arsenal faced each other in the League Cup final, Pep Guardiola and Mikel Arteta sat side by side in the Wembley dugout as head coach and assistant before celebrating as their City team destroyed the Gunners 3-0 and claimed the first of piece of silverware of the former's time in England. The rampant win only crystalized the widening gap between the two clubs.

  7. Roma's €25m teen who is earning Osimhen comparisons

    Roma's acquisition of Robinio Vaz from Marseille on January 14 was considered quite the coup for the Serie A side. The Frenchman was still only at 18 at the time of the €25 million (£21.5m/$29m) transfer from Stade Velodrome to Stadio Olimpico, with Lamine Yamal the only player younger than Vaz to have scored at least four goals in Europe's 'Big Five' leagues this season to that point.

  8. BDO Power Rankings: Haaland plummets as Kane keeps foot down

    With the Lionel Messi-Cristiano Ronaldo duopoly presumably disappearing into the rearview mirror, the battle for the Ballon d'Or hasn't felt so open for the best part of 20 years, with countless players now beginning each campaign believing they have a chance of claiming the most prestigious individual prize football has to offer. Ousmane Dembele emerged from a career plagued with inconsistencies to win the Golden Ball in 2025, and he was among a crowded field of contenders as the 2026 race got going.

  9. Why Nike x Jordan's Brazil collab is a seismic moment

    We already knew Nike had built something special through their Jordan Brand and Paris Saint-Germain collaboration, with the 'Jumpman' logo replacing the 'Swoosh' on the French giants’ shirts for the past eight years - but they've entered another stratosphere after linking up with the Brazilian federation.

  2. Salah blamed for Liverpool's embarrassing title defence

    Graeme Souness has delivered a damning verdict on Mohamed Salah, suggesting that the Egyptian King has "fallen off a cliff" and is the single biggest reason Liverpool have struggled to defend their Premier League title.
