The Dreams FC forward is not merely enjoying a standout campaign; he is shaping the very narrative of the 2025/26 Ghana Premier League.At 25, Seidu has blossomed into a complete and devastating attacking weapon. His return of 10 goals and five assists in 24 league matches, complemented by two Man of the Match awards, places him firmly among the elite performers this season.

Whether unlocking deep defensive lines, converting under pressure or creating space for teammates, Seidu has consistently “turned the screws” in Dreams FC’s favour.

The manager, set to depart after this season, transformed the Cherries into a legitimate talent factory and one of the Premier League’s most entertaining sides The walls of the Emirates could hardly contain Andoni Iraola’s beaming grin. As he crossed the touchline last Saturday after Bournemouth’s 2-1 win, his stride wasn’t one of rushing disbelief. He applauded the away support in between tousles of his charges’ heads and slaps on their sweat-soaked backs. The coach knew his side had completely outplayed the league leaders for their third win in four against Arsenal. This wasn’t a Bournemouth upset of old. It was further evidence that these arenas have never been more welcoming to the Cherries – and are the sites that Iraola is ready to call his next home.

I concetti espressi dal tecnico azzurro che ha lasciato cadere una domanda sulla Nazionale

Regis Le Bris deserves a huge amount of credit for how he's transformed Sunderland and one particular young star.

The $95 bus trip to Foxborough highlights a tournament unique in modern times – one that ultimately makes no secret of its disdain for the paying public Like any journalist with an unerring nose for an offbeat feature, my interest was sharply piqued by this week’s announcement of the $95 bus ride. What magnificent accoutrements might conceivably justify the £70 fare for a half-hour journey from south Boston to Foxborough? An at-seat shiatsu? A pool deck? A five-course dining experience? A brief but moving Céline Dion set in the aisles? At the very least, I felt I owed it to my profession to find out for sure. Alas upon closer investigation, the Boston Stadium Express being launched for this summer’s World Cup appears to be an entirely regular bus journey on an entirely regular bus with entirely regular bus seats. Your non-refundable ticket – no child concessions – entitles you simply to be dropped off a 15-minute walk from the ground, and picked up again from the same place. There is, in short, no more complex rationale for the Boston organising committee to charge £70 than the fact that they can, and the World Cup only comes once, and if you don’t want to pay then some other rube will.


Ai Mondiali disputati in Qatar, il capitano dell'Argentina ha superato le aspettative per immortalare la sua eredità nell'unico modo che gli mancava.

Attaccante uruguaiano rapido, con il senso del goal, in Italia per tre anni, con la maglia del Cagliari dal 1995 al 1998. Dario Silva in un'intervista a La Gazzetta dello Sport è tornato sulla sua carriera e sull'incidente del 2006 che gli ha cambiato la vita: "Mi sono distratto per prendere una fetta di torta rimasta incastrata tra i pedali del mio pick-up e mi schiantai contro il guardrail. Mi amputarono parte della gamba destra, volevo morire". "LA SCIMMIETTA" DI CAGLIARI "A Cagliari per tutti ero “Sa Pibinca”. Quel nome me lo diede Massimiliano Medda, un comico cagliaritano. In sardo significa “scimmietta”: ero un attaccante sempre in movimento, mi appiccicavo agli avversari e davo fastidio. A volte ero ingestibile e, senza fare male, tiravo anche qualche calcetto ai difensori per stuzzicarli" DAL CAMERIERE ALLO SCOUT "Dopo il mio ritiro ho lavorato a Malaga in una pizzeria di un amico, facevo il cameriere. Aveva tanti coperti e serviva personale, così mi sono proposto per aiutarlo. Ora faccio lo scout per il Cadice. Giro i campi qui in Sudamerica e cerco di trovare i talenti da portare in Europa”. "HO RITROVATO LA FELICITA'" "Anche senza una gamba si può essere felici. Fortunatamente mi ero già ritirato dal calcio. Nel 2012 ho avuto l’opportunità di partecipare alle Paralimpiadi di Londra, nel canottaggio, ma per vari motivi non ci sono riuscito. Lo sport resta una parte fondamentale della mia vita: vado spesso in bicicletta e nel 2009 sono tornato in campo per una partita di beneficenza" MILAN, IL GRANDE RIMPIANTO “No, il rimpianto è non essere andato al Milan, la squadra che ho sempre tifato. Gullit e Van Basten sono stati i miei idoli”.
