Messi remains magical, but did Atlanta get it wrong with Tata?

  1. Why Gyokeres failed to make the grade at Brighton

    Viktor Gyokeres' first season at Arsenal has been mixed, to put it kindly. Indeed, he only scored seven goals in his first 22 appearances across all competitions for the Gunners, which represented a poor return on the club's £63.5 million ($85m) investment in his services. Some felt the Swede was an awkward fit for Mikel Arteta's side, while others went as far as to label Gyokeres one of the worst signings in Premier League history.

  2. Flying Frimpong can lift Liverpool in EPL's top-five fight

    Twenty minutes - that's all Jeremie Frimpong needed to show Liverpool what they'd been missing in Saturday's Premier League clash with West Ham. The Reds were already 4-2 up when the Dutchman replaced Joe Gomez at right-back, but the game wasn't over. On the contrary, Valentin Castellanos had just pulled a goal back for the relegation-threatened visitors, who were causing Liverpool's defence all sorts of problems.

U.S. MEN'S NATIONAL TEAM

  1. USMNT star McKennie signs new Juventus contract through 2030

    Weston McKennie isn’t going anywhere. After months of renewed speculation, the U.S. men’s national team midfielder has signed a new four-year contract with Juventus, committing to the Serie A side through 2030. McKennie had been set to become a free agent this summer, with interest building as his form surged, but Juventus have now moved decisively to secure one of their most versatile contributors for the long term.

Expert Opinion & Analysis

  1. Will '27 World Cup cycle be Wiegman's last Lionesses dance?

    Last month, when Lionesses boss Sarina Wiegman was asked if there was concern that her contract situation could prove to be a distraction for England ahead of the 2027 Women's World Cup, she was pretty bullish in her answer. "There is no distraction whatsoever," she responded. "Everyone is really focused on this qualification. I haven't heard anyone in my team or staff that has been occupied with that."

  2. LEGACY: How France learned resilience at the World Cup

    This is Legacy, GOAL’s feature and podcast series to mark the countdown to the 2026 World Cup. Each week, we explore the stories and the spirit behind the nations that define the world’s game. This week, we revisit one of international football’s most dramatic sagas: the rise, fall, and rebirth of Les Bleus. From Zinedine Zidane's headbutt in Berlin to Kylian Mbappe's hat-trick in Doha, France’s World Cup journey between 2006 and 2022 is a tale of collapse and resurrection; the story of a nation that turned shame into strength, and forged an identity where resilience became its greatest art.

  3. Carrick is United's only choice in permanent manager hunt

    When Roy Keane claimed in January that Michael Carrick should not get the Manchester United job permanently, even if he wins every game until the end of the season, it was easy to think that the hypothetical scenario he painted would never be tested. But the man who inherited the famous No.16 shirt from the polemical Irishman at Old Trafford is holding Keane to his word.

  4. RANKED: Chelsea's most stupid of their TEN red cards

    Chelsea have plenty of issues to solve, but perhaps the most glaring right now is their lack of discipline. The lack of experienced heads within the youngest squad in the Premier League has been pointed to on a number of occasions during the BlueCo era, but nowhere is it more glaring than when it comes keeping a full compliment of players on the pitch at Stamford Bridge.

  5. Brits Abroad: Kane smashes more records in Klassiker win

    GOAL runs the rule over the British players earning a living away from their homeland, with plenty more stars deciding to leave their comfort zones in search of a better footballing life elsewhere. The Premier League is still obviously one of the world's most entertaining divisions and the Championship can prove fantastic for development, but there are more options out there.

Premier League

  1. Confrontation with 'angry' CR7 revealed by Man Utd academy graduate

    Villarreal defender Willy Kambwala has lifted the lid on a fiery confrontation with Cristiano Ronaldo during their shared time at Manchester United. The young center-back, who swapped Old Trafford for El Madrigal in 2024, detailed how his aggressive playing style drew an "angry" response from the Portuguese legend before a surprising private "peace summit" in the Carrington sauna changed everything.

  2. Ardiles explains how Spurs can get out of ‘big, big trouble’

    Tottenham legend Ossie Ardiles has conceded the club is almost in "big, big trouble" as the threat of a shock relegation looms. The Argentine icon insists total unity is required to halt a slide that has left Tottenham just four points above the Premier League drop zone. After a 2-1 loss to Fulham and only two wins in 19 games, Spurs are enduring their worst run in 30 years. Ardiles' rallying cry comes amid mounting panic over the club's top-flight status.

  3. Guardiola delivers update on Haaland injury

    Pep Guardiola has given an update on Erling Haaland's injury as Manchester City sweat on their top scorer's fitness before their Premier League clash at home to Nottingham Forest on Wednesday. Haaland sustained a minor issue in training last Thursday, missing the 1-0 win at Leeds United. Haaland's availability was naturally the main talking point ahead of the game against struggling Forest.

Major League Soccer

  1. 📽️ | Messi bags brilliant brace to inspire Inter Miami comeback

    Lionel Messi bagged a brilliant brace for Inter Miami as the Herons secured their first competitive victory of 2026 and got the defence of their MLS Cup crown up and running. The Argentine GOAT helped to inspire a 4-2 derby victory over Florida neighbours Orlando City, with Javier Mascherano’s side rallying from a two-goal deficit to pick up three precious points at Inter & Co Stadium.

Transfer News

  1. Man Utd told eye-watering fee Chelsea would demand for Palmer

    Manchester United have been warned it would take a British transfer record deal of £150 million-plus ($201m) in order to prise Cole Palmer away from Chelsea. The Wythenshawe native has seen a return to his roots in the North West speculated on, but former Stamford Bridge star Frank Sinclair has told GOAL why a stunning deal is unlikely to happen.

  2. AC Milan may take Corinthians to FIFA over €17m transfer

    The summer transfer window is still months away, but AC Milan already find themselves entangled in a high-stakes legal battle over one of South America's brightest prospects. The Rossoneri thought they had secured the services of Corinthians' rising star, Andre, in a deal worth approximately €15 million plus an additional €2m in performance-related bonuses. However, what seemed like a straightforward piece of business has quickly devolved into a standoff that could require intervention from FIFA.

Women's Soccer

  1. Lionesses & Williamson among nominees for 2026 Laureus awards

    Lionesses captain Leah Williamson is one of four footballers to be nominated for accolades at the prestigious 2026 Laureus World Sports Awards, with her England team also shortlisted after winning the 2025 European Championships. Lamine Yamal was the only footballer to win an award at last year's ceremony, with Real Madrid also scooping up a team prize, but the chances of more recognition are greater this year, with significantly more nominees from the world of football.

  2. Lionesses star Kearns reveals pregnancy with footballer boyfriend

    Lionesses midfielder Missy Bo Kearns has revealed that she is pregnant with her first child, due in September. Kearns was not included in Sarina Wiegman's squad for England's upcoming World Cup qualifiers, described as being unavailable for selection, and the reasons for that have now become clear, after the Aston Villa star and her boyfriend, also a professional footballer, announced the news on social media.

  3. RANKED: How the Asian Cup & AFCON will effect WSL clubs

    The Women's Asian Cup began on March 1, kickstarting a month that was set to see two of the major tournaments in the women's game take place, with the Africa Cup of Nations to follow on March 17. Recent reports suggest the latter is, incredibly, set to be cancelled at the last minute, but the impact the Asian Cup will have on the continuing club competitions should still be fascinating, as teams across the women's game say goodbye to some of their best players for a few weeks.
