  1. Wake up, Chelsea! Blues risk being cut adrift by resurgent Man Utd

    Chelsea's season is on a knife edge - not that you'd know it given the meek nature of their recent performances. Out of Europe and without a league win in more than six weeks, their campaign is drifting into mediocrity at the worst possible moment, and defeat to a revitalised Manchester United on Saturday night could send the Blues into complete freefall.

  2. Why Barca, Bayern & Chelsea want Twente's towering teen defender

    Be it double World Cup finalist Ruud Krol, the marauding Ronald Koeman, total football icon Ruud Gullit or serial winner Virgil van Dijk, the Dutch have a fine tradition of producing defenders who have made their mark on the game. And there is a new kid on the block that every top club wants to get their hands on: step forward FC Twente's teenage star centre-back Ruud Nijstad.

  3. BDO Power Rankings: Kane leads Haaland as Vini makes move

    With the Lionel Messi-Cristiano Ronaldo duopoly presumably disappearing into the rearview mirror, the battle for the Ballon d'Or hasn't felt so open for the best part of 20 years, with countless players now beginning each campaign believing they have a chance of claiming the most prestigious individual prize football has to offer. Ousmane Dembele emerged from a career plagued with inconsistencies to win the Golden Ball in 2025, and he was among a crowded field of contenders as the 2026 race got going.

Welcome to the latest episode of Icons - a GOAL podcast that revisits the last 10 World Cups through the moments, characters, and controversies that defined them, bringing the spirit of each tournament vividly back to life.

Expert Opinion & Analysis

  1. Palmer & Garnacho painfully ineffective as Chelsea lose AGAIN!

    Chelsea are now at very real risk of failing to qualify for next season's Champions League after slumping to a 1-0 defeat at home to top-five rivals Manchester United on Saturday night. The Blues were buoyed by the return of Enzo Fernandez after his club-imposed suspension but even though the Argentine showed what Liam Rosenior's side had been missing, they once again failed to score in what was a fourth consecutive Premier League loss.

  2. Russo scores again as Hampton makes sure of Lionesses win

    Alessia Russo's clinical finish and Hannah Hampton's world-class goalkeeping allowed England to maintain their perfect record in Women's World Cup qualifying on Saturday, as the Lionesses edged to a nervy 1-0 win over Iceland. Sarina Wiegman's side were coming into the game fresh off the back of a huge win over Spain at Wembley and they preserved their lead at the top of the group with another three points, even if it was far from convincing at times.

  2. De Zerbi: Spurs must change mentality

    Roberto De Zerbi has called on his Tottenham players to undergo a psychological transformation to save their season after a crushing late draw against Brighton.

Women's Soccer

  1. Who are the Lionesses' all-time top goalscorers?

    England's Lionesses have always had great goalscorers. Even before the team was the major contender it is now, winning back-to-back European Championships under Sarina Wiegman and reaching a first Women's World Cup final, they could boast some incredible attacking talent, with Arsenal icon Kelly Smith, widely considered the Lionesses' greatest ever player, a prime example.

  2. 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.
