After a limited 2025, it’s time for Union to unleash Cavan Sullivan

  1. Zubimendi deserves to be in Player of the Year conversation

    Arsenal are heavy favourites to go on and win this season's Premier League. They've put themselves in a commanding position with around a third of the campaign remaining and ought to see out the job from here on in. It's been a real team effort with everyone in Mikel Arteta's squad pulling their weight, but there will always be clamour to crown one player above all others. Why can't that be Martin Zubimendi?

  2. Van Dijk leads from the front to lift Liverpool

    Liverpool closed the gap on those above them in the Premier League's top-five race as Virgil van Dijk's header secured a 1-0 win over Sunderland on Wednesday. Arne Slot's side became the first visiting team to win at the Stadium of Light this season while taking advantage of both Chelsea and Manchester United dropping points 24 hours earlier.

  3. Frank's gone - but Spurs need more changes to avoid the drop

    Tottenham Hotspur sit 16th in the Premier League table. They are only five points clear of the relegation zone. Zero wins from nine domestic games in 2026. Their next match is against north-London neighbours Arsenal, the Premier League champions-elect whom Spurs have beaten just once in their last 10 meetings. And yet, until Wednesday morning, there seemed to be very little alarm around the club that this is a season that could very well end in disaster.

U.S. MEN'S NATIONAL TEAM

  1. Spurs hatch Pochettino plan after sacking Frank

    Tottenham Hotspur are interested in reappointing Mauricio Pochettino as head coach after sacking Thomas Frank. The club languish just outside the relegation zone, in 16th, just five points clear of West Ham United in 18th. They may have to wait until after the 2026 World Cup, however, to extricate Pochettino from his current job as the United States' men's national team manager.

  2. 📽️ | Spurs fans chant Pochettino's name as Frank remains defiant

    Thomas Frank insists he is '1,000 per cent' the right man for the Tottenham job despite a toxic atmosphere in north London. Spurs fans openly called for the return of Mauricio Pochettino as their side slumped to a miserable 2-1 defeat against Newcastle on Tuesday, leaving the crisis-hit club hovering dangerously above the relegation zone ahead of the derby match against local rivals Arsenal.

  3. USYNT

    U.S. U17 MNT qualify for 2026 FIFA U-17 World Cup with gritty draw

    Down to 10 men for the final stretch, the U.S. Under-17 Men’s National Team showed resilience and composure to earn a 1-1 draw against the Dominican Republic, finishing atop Group E and securing a record 20th appearance at the FIFA U-17 World Cup, set to be played in Qatar later this year. Malik Jakupovic scored his eighth goal of the tournament.

Expert Opinion & Analysis

  1. Dyche had to go but Edu most to blame for Forest's demise

    So there we have it! The Sean Dyche era at Nottingham Forest is officially over - after just 114 days and a measly 18 Premier League games, with a 0-0 draw at home to rock-bottom Wolves proving the final straw. Dyche leaves the City Ground with the team sitting 17th in the table, just three points above the drop zone with 12 matches of the 2025-26 campaign remaining.

  2. Alvarez a wanted man despite two-month goal drought

    The Metropolitano pitch has become a major talking point ahead of Atletico Madrid's Copa del Rey semi-final first leg against Barcelona. "Honestly, it's not in good condition," Koke admitted after Sunday's home defeat to Real Betis. "We slip, the turf comes up. Clearly, we have to play better, so it's not an excuse, but we're expected to perform at a high level and we need a pitch of that same quality to be able to do so."

  3. RANKED: Spurs' top candidates to replace sacked Frank

    Thomas Frank is gone! The morning after a terrible night before, Tottenham Hotspur announced that the Dane had been relieved of his duties as head coach - to nobody's great surprise. Tuesday evening's 2-1 loss at home to fellow underperformers Newcastle extended Tottenham's winless run in the Premier League to eight games - a rotten run of results that has seen them plummet to 16th in the standings.

Premier League

  1. Man Utd issue statement after Ratcliffe backlash

    Manchester United have issued a statement insisting they are an "inclusive and welcoming club" after an intense backlash to co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe's comments on immigration. The INEOS founder claimed the United Kingdom had been "colonised by immigrants" in a rant he has since issued an apology for.

Major League Soccer

  1. Ronaldo backed for 'incredible' link-up with Messi in MLS

    Cristiano Ronaldo, amid his strike action at Al-Nassr, is being backed for an “incredible” link-up with Lionel Messi in MLS. CR7 is seeing a stunning move away from the Saudi Pro League speculated on as tension mounts in the Middle East. It could be that the Portuguese superstar decides to join another GOAT in MLS as Sir David Beckham throws open the doors at Inter Miami.

Transfer News

  1. Nottingham Forest close in on Sean Dyche replacement

    Nottingham Forest are closing in on their replacement for Sean Dyche, after sacking the former Burnley and Everton boss in the wake of their 0-0 draw with 20th-placed Wolves. The club are currently three points above the relegation zone with 12 games of the season remaining, and are now closing in on the appointment of Vitor Pereira, himself a previous manager of the Molineux club.

  2. Why Ronaldo’s next move ‘won’t be to Man Utd’

    Cristiano Ronaldo continues to generate transfer talk in the Saudi Pro League at Al-Nassr, but the Portuguese GOAT has been informed that his next move “won’t be to Manchester United”. CR7 has previously taken in two spells at Old Trafford, but a third is being ruled out as the all-time great mulls over his future options at 41 years of age.

Women's Soccer

  1. USWNT star Macario has Barca offer amid uncertain Chelsea future

    United States star Catarina Macario reportedly has an offer on the table from three-time Champions League winners Barcelona, amid growing interest in her services from major clubs across Europe. Macario's contract with Chelsea expires at the end of the season and it has also been reported that she has turned down a new deal with the Blues, making her a figure of real interest as the summer transfer window approaches.

  2. Mead ruled out of Arsenal's crucial Champions League clash

    England star Beth Mead will miss the first leg of Arsenal's crucial Champions League play-off clash with OH Leuven on Wednesday night in one of two big absences for the Gunners. The Lionesses forward was seen in a protective boot after victory over Manchester City on Sunday and the concerns that raised amongst fans have now been justified, with her missing out on Arsenal's trip to Belgium.

  3. January transfers have made Man Utd a UWCL threat

    Manchester United simply had to act in the January transfer window. The Red Devils had enjoyed a wonderful start to the 2025-26 season, most notably qualifying for the Women's Champions League proper for the first time and then going one further by putting themselves in this month's knockout rounds. But if they wanted to be competitive against Europe's best, and at the sharp end of domestic competitions, they needed more in the squad - and that's the approach United took.
