Ochocinco 2-3

The Late Run with Ochocinco: Midge Purce on NWSL pay and playing on a torn ACL

  1. Messi kept quiet as Inter Miami settle for drab goalless draw

    Inter Miami were forced to settle for a frustrating scoreless draw with Nashville SC in the first leg of their CONCACAF Champions Cup last 16 tie. Neither side created much, and Lionel Messi was kept surprisingly quiet in a poor fixture between two sides that looked more eager not to lose. The two teams combined for just five shots on target over the course of 90 minutes.

  2. How USWNT star Coffey can become 'unpredictable' at City

    Manchester City are on the brink of a first Women's Super League title since 2016, and a big reason for their incredible performances this season has been the midfield duo of Yui Hasegawa and Laura Blindkilde Brown. And yet, in January, the Cityzens got even stronger in that position when they added another truly world-class midfielder in United States star Sam Coffey, making a move that can have so many short- and long-term benefits.

  3. Valverde provides a masterclass - but will Vini miss prove costly?

    Federico Valverde turned in a Champions League performance for the ages, bagging a first-half hat-trick to lead Real Madrid to a comfortable 3-0 win in the first leg of their last 16 tie with Manchester City. The Uruguay international headlined a classic Madrid knockout performance, but a penalty miss from Vinicius Jr in the second half might have left the door open for a City comeback.

U.S. MEN'S NATIONAL TEAM

  1. McKennie lifts lid on USMNT dressing room characters & leaders

    Weston McKennie has told GOAL what leadership means to him, as a captaincy candidate with Juventus and the USMNT, while discussing the kind of characters that he likes to work alongside. The all-action midfielder is enjoying a productive 2026, with a new contract being signed in Turin, and is counting down the days to a home World Cup on American soil.

  2. Infantino: World Cup will be a ‘total party’

    FIFA President Gianni Infantino insists the 2026 World Cup will be a flawless global celebration, brushing aside mounting anxieties over escalating geopolitical tensions in the Middle East. Despite the USA and Israel conflict with Iran disrupting football calendars, causing widespread visa chaos, and forcing Iraq to request a delay, FIFA remains solely focused on record ticket sales.

Expert Opinion & Analysis

  1. Valverde & the 20 players in L'Equipe's exclusive 10/10 club

    Within a Real Madrid squad that is packed full of Galacticos, Fede Valverde is rarely singled out for what he offers to Los Blancos despite his obvious importance to the team. On Wednesday, though, he was able to hog the limelight after his stunning first-half hat-trick saw off Manchester City in the Champions League. His performance also earned him the rarest of plaudits: A 10/10 rating from L'Equipe.

  2. Jorgensen clangers cost Chelsea as PSG expose Rosenior

    Errors from goalkeeper Filip Jorgensen helped condemn Chelsea to a 5-2 loss in the first leg of their Champions League last-16 tie against Paris Saint-Germain. Goals from Malo Gusto and Enzo Fernandez looked to have earned the Blues a deserved draw in the French capital, only for Jorgensen to gift the ball to the defending champions on the edge of his own penalty area, which Vitinha took advantage of before Khvicha Kvaratskhelia added two further late goals.

Former Red Devils star Kleberson has told GOAL that his fellow countryman would like to remain at Old Trafford as he brings Roy Keane-esque leadership to a rejuvenated squad.

Major League Soccer

  1. Retire or join Messi in MLS? ‘Truly massive’ Neymar future claim

    Neymar has hinted at injuries forcing him to retire at the end of 2026, but a fellow Brazilian is tipping the 34-year-old playmaker to make the “truly massive” call of joining Lionel Messi in MLS. Neymar previously worked with the Argentine GOAT at Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain, with Kleberson telling GOAL why a reunion at Inter Miami remains a distinct possibility.

  2. Rakitic insists Messi 'deserves' proper Barcelona tribute

    Former Barcelona midfielder Ivan Rakitic has called for the club to finally honour Lionel Messi with a fitting tribute, while expressing his hope that the Argentine superstar continues his career at the highest level for "a few more years". Speaking on his 38th birthday, the Croatian reflected on the impact his former team-mate has had on the sport, noting that Messi's influence transcends club rivalries and borders.

Transfer News

  1. Sherwood backs Van de Ven for Liverpool move

    Liverpool have been tipped to launch a sensational raid on Tottenham for Micky van de Ven amid the north London club's battle to avoid relegation from the Premier League. Spurs currently sit in 16th place, just a single point above the drop zone, following a disastrous campaign that saw Thomas Frank sacked after only eight months. Things have failed to improve under interim boss Igor Tudor, who has overseen four consecutive defeats, including a 5-2 Champions League thrashing at the hands of Atletico Madrid.

Women's Soccer

  1. Who are the Lionesses' most capped players?

    England women's national team has enjoyed a lot of success in recent years, winning the European Championships in 2022 and 2025 while also reaching the 2023 Women's World Cup final, and those involved in those successes in Sarina Wiegman's side are now starting to creep into the record books when it comes to caps, as well as trophies.

  2. EXCLUSIVE: Lionesses star Park on Man Utd move & flying form

    There was less than an hour remaining in the Women’s Super League summer transfer window when the most stunning business of all was completed. Jess Park and Grace Clinton had been stalwarts at Manchester City and Manchester United, respectively, during the previous season. And yet, at the eleventh hour, both were sent to opposite sides of the city, to represent what had been their biggest and bitterest rival.
