Americans Abroad: Can Cardoso flip the La Liga title race?

  1. Rosenior in crisis as Sanchez & Fofana drop stinkers

    Chelsea were humbled in their first visit to the Hill Dickinson Stadium, falling 3-0 to Everton in the Premier League on Saturday evening. The Blues were hoping to bounce back from Tuesday's Champions League defeat by the same scoreline to Paris Saint-Germain but instead came unstuck against David Moyes' Toffees, who moved to within two points of Liam Rosenior's side in the table.

  2. Van Dijk & Konate caught napping as Liverpool lose to Brighton

    Liverpool were beaten 2-1 by Brighton and Hove Albion at the Amex Stadium on Saturday, as a Danny Welbeck brace gave the Seagulls all three points. It was a disjointed performance from the Reds, despite Milos Kerkez's goal, after Hugo Ekitike was injured within the first 10 minutes. It is another damning result for head coach Arne Slot, who looks to have run out of ideas in the dugout.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. 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 piece of silverware of the former's time in England. The rampant win only crystallized the widening gap between the two clubs.

  6. 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.

  1. Explained: Vital World Cup role Turner could fill for USMNT

    Matt Turner may have fallen down the USMNT’s goalkeeping depth chart, but Brad Friedel has explained to GOAL why the New England Revolution shot-stopper could still have a vital role to play at the 2026 World Cup. Matt Freese is considered to be leading the race for starting duties at this summer’s global gathering in North America, but Mauricio Pochettino will want an able back-up at his disposal.

  1. Kaneryd on target but Blues falter in WSL title race again

    Chelsea's hopes of retaining the Women's Super League title were all but ended at the hands of the London City Lionesses on Saturday afternoon, with the Blues pegged back to a 1-1 draw at The Den. Despite taking the lead early in the first half, Sonia Bompastor's decision to leave her heavy hitters on the bench cost her, with the hosts stepping up their efforts in the second half to claw back a point.

  2. Shaw's record-breaking hat-trick edges City towards WSL title

    Khadija Shaw's record-breaking hat-trick fired Manchester City to a dominant 5-2 win over Tottenham on Saturday, allowing the Women's Super League leaders to maintain their seven-point cushion at the top with just four games to go. It took Shaw just 21 minutes from kick-off, and 13 minutes between goals, to net her treble, setting two new competition records, and that was added to by Kerolin's strike and an own goal from Amanda Nilden as City bounced back from last week's disappointing draw at Aston Villa.

  1. 📽️ | Blundering Sanchez gifts Everton goal with costly mistake

    Chelsea goalkeeper Robert Sanchez is in the spotlight again after another erratic performance for the Blues in Saturday's 3-0 defeat to Everton at the Hill Dickinson Stadiun. Sanchez allowed a shot from Beto to trickle through his legs as Everton went 2-0 up and closed the gap on Liam Rosenior's side in the Premier League table to just two points with seven games left to play.

  2. 'It hurts a lot' - Slot slams underperforming Liverpool stars

    Liverpool manager Arne Slot has blasted his underperforming players in the wake of Saturday's damaging 2-1 defeat to Brighton in the Premier League. Two goals from Danny Welbeck sealed a win for the Seagulls and condemned the defending champions to their 10th Premier League defeat of the season so far. The result could also prove crucial in the hunt for Champions League places.

    MLS will implement a 14-game "sprint season" in the spring of 2027, a slate that will fill a gap before the league switches to a European-esque fall-spring calendar, the league announced Thursday.

  2. Meet Lexi Potter: Chelsea's Stanway-esque teen star

    When Emma Hayes' time at Chelsea was coming to a well-publicised end in the final few months of the 2023-24 season, ahead of her move to the United States to take over its iconic national team, the revered manager took a moment in one of her final press conferences to ponder what the Blues' team might look like in the future, given the progress being made in the women's youth set-up and the work being done to try bridge the gap between the academy and the first team.
