Colombia
Colombia are a major force in South American football and tend to qualify for major international competitions on a regular basis and do well in them as well. They will feature in the 2024 Copa America and are expected to go far in the tournament.
Néstor Lorenzo’s side have been in brilliant form for months now. Colombia have not lost a single match for over two years and will head …
With all eyes falling on Craven Cottage on Monday night, Chelsea picked up west London bragging rights and a welcomed boost as they landed a 2-0 victory against Fulham.
Watching Mykhaoli Mudryk finally open his Chelsea account with a slick finish in the 18th minute, Mauricio Pochettino’s side quickly doubled their lead as the returning Armando Broja capitalised on some sloppy Fulham defending just seconds on.
Picking up just their second Premier League victory of the season here, Chelsea also produced what will be regarded as a season-best display at Craven Cottage.
Not really having to get out of second gear here, Fulham will be disappointed by a flat performance on home soil.
Failing to create any real opportunities against a Chelsea squad that have …
Graeme Souness insists Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp must win a trophy in order to be viewed as a success at Anfield.
The Reds are enjoying a fine season as they sit third in the Premier League and remain in contention in Europe.
Klopp masterminded a superb 3-0 win over Manchester City in the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final on Wednesday, but Souness says playing attractive football is not enough for a club of Liverpool s stature.
Not at all. Not for professionals. No good finishing second, third, qualifying for Champions League, he told Omnisport, while speaking at an event organised by One Family and the Ian Rush Foundation.
I know the money men in any club would be happy just qualifying for the Champions League, but for the s…
Zdenek Zeman enjoyed a hugely successful homecoming at Pescara on Sunday as he orchestrated a 5-0 win over Genoa in his first match back in charge, ending the struggling team s wait for a first on-field victory of the Serie A season.
The 69-year-old was reappointed by Pescara following the dismissal of Massimo Oddo last week, having previously enjoyed a successful spell with the club in 2011-12, when he helped them win promotion to Serie A.
The veteran Czech is in for a tough task now, though, as they look to avoid relegation, with Pescara s only victory in the preceding 24 league games this season coming after they were awarded a 3-0 triumph over Sassuolo when it was found their opponents had fielded an ineligible player in a 2-1 victory.
Zeman made sure he got …
Lionel Messi scored his 500th Barcelona goal in second-half stoppage time as Barcelona beat 10-man Real Madrid 3-2 in an unbelievable Clasico at Santiago Bernabeu, a victory that puts them top of LaLiga.
Substitute James Rodriguez had scored a dramatic late equaliser that looked like it would give Madrid a draw to put them on the brink of a first league crown since 2012, only for Messi to bring up his milestone with the last kick of the game.
Prior to those late goals, a breathless and controversial contest looked like it would be settled by Ivan Rakitic s excellent strike, especially when Sergio Ramos was sent off for a lunge on Messi.
But James then scored within four minutes of coming off the bench to send the home fans wild, only for Messi to steal the show …
According to a recent report from Marca, Dutch giants Ajax have made it known that they’re interested in a potential move for Martin Odegaard. The 20 year old made the move over to the Bernabeu back in 2015, and at the time, his move to the club was highly publicised. He was tipped as being the next big thing, but over the last few years, he hasn’t really been given much of an opportunity to shine in the first team.
Odegaard has more than a dozen appearances for the Norwegian national team, and has also spent loan spells with Heerenveen and Vitesse. Ajax has served as a great ‘proving ground’ club for many young stars over the years, and Odegaard certainly has experience in Dutch football.
If this is going to become a reality, though, it feels like it’d be mor…
Four goals from Harry Kane and two from Son Heung-min helped Tottenham to a 6-1 battering of Leicester City in their penultimate Premier League match of the season on Thursday.
England international Kane moved to 26 in the top flight for this season – putting him two ahead of Romelu Lukaku in the Golden Boot standings – while Son took his tally to 21 goals in all competitions in the emphatic victory.
The hammering puts Spurs on 83 points for 2016-17, three more than Leicester managed when they were crowned champions last term.
Son and Kane combined to put Spurs ahead before the South Korea star made it 2-0 as half-time approached with a well-taken volley.
Ben Chilwell gave Leicester some hope with his first Premier League goal, but a Kane header and a…
Tottenham s start to the Premier League season has failed to yield a win in three matches and brought further frustration off the field, with Everton up next for Mauricio Pochettino s side.
An opening-day loss to Manchester United was followed by draws against Stoke City and Leicester City, when Spurs surrendered the lead on both occasions.
The club have also thus far failed to land transfer target Saido Berahino, despite the West Brom striker agitating for a move by handing in a transfer request.
Pochettino acknowledged ahead of Everton s trip to White Hart Lane that an addition to his forward options remains a priority, but getting three points on Saturday is a more immediate concern.
It ll be a really tough game, said Pochettino, who also shrugged off…
Blaise Matuidi refused to entertain talk of him leaving Paris Saint-Germain as he prepares for France s clash with England on Tuesday.
The 30-year-old midfielder, who featured in Les Bleus World Cup qualifying defeat to Sweden on Friday, has been linked with a move away from Paris, with Manchester United among the reported suitors.
But Matuidi had little to say on the matter ahead of France s next game an international friendly as he insisted his focus was on his country and not PSG.
My head today is [thinking about] France, I m focused on Tuesday, he said.
As for PSG [and talk of leaving], I have nothing else to say about it.
Prêt pour le combat

Neymar s Paris Saint-Germain career got off to a stunning start on Sunday as he scored one and created another in a 3-0 win at Guingamp.
The Brazil star stunned the footballing world when he completed a world-record €222million move from Barcelona earlier this month.
His transfer was not completed in time to feature in PSG s 2017-18 Ligue 1 opener against Amiens last weekend where he was presented to the Parc des Princes crowd but he made up for lost time in style at Stade de Roudourou.
With Unai Emery s side already leading 1-0 thanks to Jordan Ikoko s bizarre own goal, Neymar assisted Edinson Cavani with a wonderful pass before the roles were reversed eight minutes from time for the Brazilian to tap home.
And Neymar s fledgling Ligue 1 career already …
