Fan View: Bafana Bafana ready to play in Euro 2020, we have no competition in Africa

Borussia Dortmund striker Erling Haaland has insisted that he is not thinking about leaving the club in the near future, ruling out the likelihood of clubs like Real Madrid or Manchester United trying to poach the Norwegian teenager this summer. Haaland only joined Dortmund from Red Bull Salzburg in January, choosing the club because he felt it was the best to continue his rapid development and would offer the best chances.

UK Government Will Hold Formal Debate on Football Fans Returning to Stadiums

In a season in which Manchester City's back four has been criticised more than ever under Pep Guardiola, it was fitting that Liverpool's Premier League triumph was rubber stamped courtesy of a calamitous defensive performance. Prior to the 2019/2020 campaign getting underway, the Cityzens were viewed as an infallible footballing machine. They seem anything but now. Manchester City's 2018/2019 Premier League title seems a long time ago now All but one of the 90min editors - and he probably only...

James Rodriguez rules out Real Madrid return and open to Serie A move amid rumours of Everton exit

pool A second half Willian penalty helped earn Chelsea a 2-1 win over Manchester City at Stamford Bridge, a result that confirmed Liverpool's status as 2019/2020 Premier League champions. In a pulsating first half, in which both sides had chances, Christian Pulisic opened the scoring just after the half hour mark. Clumsy defending by Benjamin Mendy set the American through one-on-one with Ederson and he made no mistake, slotting the ball calmly home. Christian Pulisic opened the scoring for...

'Havertz just wants to be a nice player' - Chelsea midfielder 'has to be more assertive', says Hoddle

The last time Liverpool won a top flight title, Twitter was still 16 years away from being invented. This time around was a very different story. With the United Kingdom in lockdown and street parties a big no-no, Reds fans were forced to toast the team’s victory on social media. Even prior to kick off in the title deciding game between Chelsea and Manchester City, the standard of Twitter #bantz from all parties was already exceptionally high. Cases in point, the following examples. Liverpool...

Anekeya: Former Zoo FC defender explains his situation amidst Covid-19

Arsenal can defend it seems. Thursday night's victory over Southampton may not have been the Gunners most impressive, nor most free-flowing performance of the season, but it signified the defensive capabilities of Mikel Arteta's inexperienced side. After the calamitous performance of David Luiz against Manchester City last week, as well as the last-gasp slip up against Brighton on Saturday, it appeared that Arteta really did have his work cut out in improving a seemingly fragile defence. View...

‘Sancho would offer Man Utd something different’ – Solskjaer needs to strengthen, says Cole

Liverpool were confirmed as Premier League champions for the first time on Thursday night, a 2-1 win for Chelsea at Stamford Bridge making it mathematically impossible for the reigning champions to catch Jurgen Klopp's side. A dominant 4-0 win over Crystal Palace on Wednesday took the Reds to within touching distance of their first English title in 30 years, leaving them waiting to see if Chelsea could force a result to send the title to Anfield the following night. It's been a long wait, but...

Barca, Juve, RM snap back at UEFA threats

After a delicate reverse pass from Luka Modric, Vinícius Júnior found himself on the left-hand side of the penalty area with the ball at his feet. This was a very familiar position for the 19-year-old and before he had time to mentally replay the myriad of squandered chances this territory usually beckons, he delicately dinked the ball over the onrushing goalkeeper. Vinícius and the Mallorca defence look on as the Brazilian gives Real Madrid the lead with a deft finish Admittedly, five minutes...

Burnley Keep Defying the Odds But Sean Dyche Deserves Backing in the Transfer Market

A cursory glance at the bench that Sean Dyche selected for Burnley's meeting with Watford on Thursday afternoon provides an indication of the problems that exist at the club. Two of the Clarets' nine substitutes were goalkeepers and four were youngsters yet to make a single Premier League appearance. The second string was completed by Erik Pieters, Phil Bardsley and Kevin Long - a veritable who's who of boring top flight defenders. Incredibly, this was an improvement from Burnley's previous...

The winner of the PFA Vertu Motors League Two Fans' Player of the Month - April

tory Arsenal claimed a much needed victory over Southampton at St Mary's Stadium on Thursday evening, as Alex McCarthy's error helped the visitors on their way to a 2-0 win. The Saints stopper was sloppy in possession midway through the first half, carelessly playing the ball against the on-rushing Eddie Nketiah, who tapped into an empty net. Alex McCarthy was to blame for Arsenal's first goal. The hosts tried to fight their way back into the game, but Arsenal sealed the win after Joe Willock...

Tag This new era of artificial crowds and fist bump celebrations may all seem a little strange, but one thing that hasn't changed since before the league suspension is the electric form of Raúl Jiménez. The Wolverhampton Wanderers forward has been terrific since his arrival in English football back in 2018 and has become 'Mr Reliable' for Nuno Espirito Santo.

Luka Romero: Things to Know About La Liga's Youngest Ever Player

Or just generally being a bit of a moody, spotty mess? All noble choices and also all experiences that Luka Romero is unlikely to have had - and not just because Smirnoff Ice is nigh-on impossible to find in Spain.
