New boss, same England: Tuchel's team no different to Southgate's

  1. WATCH: USMNT icon Donovan joins The Late Run with Chad Ochocinco

    Landon Donovan joins Ocho and Raheem on The Late Run to revisit a career built far from the spotlight. He reflects on leaving home for Bayer Leverkusen at 16, grinding to sell MLS tickets, his 2012 mental-health sabbatical, the Klinsmann World Cup snub, facing Messi and Ronaldo, Beckham’s impact on MLS, the pay-to-play problem threatening U.S. soccer and why a home World Cup could change everything.

  2. Where will France rank in the World Cup's greatest attacks?

    It's fair to say that France's forward line has taken the 2026 World Cup by storm. After winning all three of their group games, Les Bleus defeated Sweden 3-0 in the round of 32 to become the tournament's top scorers at the time of writing, with 13 goals. Unsurprisingly, Kylian Mbappe has accounted for the majority of those goals, with the Real Madrid superstar striking six times in four outings so far.

  3. Ronaldo gets first KO goal but Ramos plays hero for Portugal

    Gonacalo Ramos scored a stoppage-time winner after a chaotic contest between Portugal and Croatia, with Roberto Martinez's side squeaked out a 2-1 victory to advance to the World Cup Round of 16. Croatia scored first, but Portugal came from behind. Ronaldo scored once from the penalty spot and was replaced by Ramos, who delivered the match's biggest moment.

  4. Oyarzabal at the double & Yamal dazzles as Spain begin to cook

    Spain outclassed Austria in Los Angeles to reach the last 16 of the 2026 World Cup courtesy of a 3-0 win on Thursday. The European champions avoided any sort of scare by dominating proceedings from the outset, securing a comfortable victory through Mikel Oyarzabal's brace and a header from Pedro Porro as they belatedly clicked into gear at the tournament.

  1. Why USMNT can't appeal Balogun's red card

    The USMNT secured their place in the 2026 World Cup Round of 16 with a 2-0 win over Bosnia & Herzegovina, but the victory has been marred by a major disciplinary blow. Folarin Balogun, who opened the scoring in Santa Clara, was dismissed in the 64th minute following a VAR review. Despite the frustration within the American camp, the AS Monaco forward is now set to miss the clash against Belgium, with US Soccer unable to appeal the decision.
