Le parole del tecnico dei lariani al termine della gara.

In a Ghana Premier League season brimming with competition and emerging talents, one player has risen with remarkable authority to dominate headlines and redefine consistency - Suraj Seidu. 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. Yet, numbers alone do not fully capture his influence—they merely underline a much deeper, transformative impact.Dreams FC’s campaign began with turbulence, uncertainty and inconsistency. Yet, amid the early struggles, Seidu emerged as the stabilizing force - dragging the club from the fringes of relegation concerns into the safety of mid-table respectability.His ability to deliver in decisive moments has been remarkable. Whether unlocking deep defensive lines, converting under pressure or creating space for teammates, Seidu has consistently “turned the screws” in Dreams FC’s favour. His contributions have not just influenced matches, they have defined them.In the Ghana FA Cup, his impact has been equally decisive, registering...


Hello Rank Squad! It's the second Champions League Takeaway of the week, looking back at Wednesday's action from the Second Legs of the Quarter Finals - where Bayern Munich and Arsenal booked their spots in the final four, albeit in very different manners. At the Allianz, Bayern came out the right side of a 4-3 thriller against Real Madrid, that ended up with the Bavarians prevailing 6-4 on aggregate, but it wasn't as comfortable as that scoreline might suggest. Los Blancos took the lead after just 35 seconds, wiping out Bayern's first leg advantage, and in a topsy-turvy first half the game swung wildly from end to end. Bayern did calm things down in the second half, but it took a chaotic last 10 minutes for them to seal the deal - with Eduardo Camavinga sent off, Luis Diaz put Bayern ahead in the tie and Michael Olise finished things off with a beautiful last kick of the game. In Part Two we head to the Emirates, where Arsenal held a 1-0 lead over Sporting coming into the second leg - and that's how it stayed, to see Arsenal through into the final four. It's history for the Gunners, who have made back-to-back Champions League semi-finals for the first time in the club's existence. Job done, but no more than that - this was perhaps not the performance that fans at the Emirates were looking for to soothe some of the nerves that have spread across the fanbase in recent weeks. Although, a clean sheet after some difficult defensive displays will no doubt be some tonic. It's Ranks!

This week’s quarter-finals provided some classic action as this season’s competition hurtles towards its conclusion Bayern Munich had not won at the Santiago Bernabéu since May 2001, when they beat Real Madrid in the Champions League semi-final on their way to becoming European champions. Tuesday night’s match changed all that. The 29th Champions League meeting between the teams lived up to its heavyweight billing, though Bayern, superior on the night, may rue their failure to extend their 2-1 lead. Real Madrid meanwhile could point to Manuel Neuer making nine saves – not bad for a 40-year-old. “We won’t win the competition without more of these kinds of performances,” said Bayern’s manager, Vincent Kompany, of his keeper. Big trophies are rarely won without great goalkeepers and Neuer continues to play like an all-time great. Bayern’s second goal was a trademark finish from Harry Kane, who made the difficult look easy. The goal will also have calmed England fans’ fears that their captain will arrive at the World Cup suffering from his usual summer malaise. A word too for Luis Díaz and Michael Olise, Bayern’s brilliant wingers whose performances brought back memories of the club’s modern greats Franck Ribéry and Arjen Robben. Kompany’s team were commanding in Madrid, but may fear the backlash from the 15-times champions, the kings of comebacks.

Mohamed Salah and Virgil van Dijk both started and disappointed as Arne Slot's Liverpool were dumped out of the FA Cup after being hammered 4-0 by Man City on Saturday

It was a day to forget for Mauricio Pochettino’s USMNT, suffering a 5-2 defeat to Belgium in their penultimate match before the World Cup roster is named. Live from Football Factory at Legends in New York, Jimmy Conrad, Charlie Davies, and Tony Meola get in their feelings and break down the performances that may hurt some players chances of making the final cut. Who hurt their case the most? Did this expose a back-four system the team simply can’t execute? And despite the scoreline, were there any real positives to take away? The conversation then turns to Tuesday’s friendly against Portugal, and the changes needed to get this group back on track.

Barnsley 2-1 Exeter City League One - Saturday 7th March Two goals in eight minutes had us cruising, but this is Barnsley – we don't do comfortable. Exeter City came calling at Oakwell and nearly nicked a point after Wareham's late strike turned what should have been a routine afternoon into the usual nail-biting affair. Still, three points is three points, and we're back in the top half where we belong. The tennis balls raining down from the Ponty End told their own story about fan frustration with ownership, but on the pitch at least, things clicked early doors. McGoldrick Opens the Account Eight minutes in and we had the breakthrough that felt inevitable from kick-off. Cleary, who'd been buzzing around Exeter's backline like a persistent wasp, slipped the perfect pass through to McGoldrick. The veteran striker, in hot form, took one touch to settle before slipping the ball over a sprawling Whitworth with the kind of composed finish that comes from years of knowing exactly where the onion bag is. Exeter barely had time to regroup before we doubled our advantage. McGoldrick, clearly enjoying himself now, turned provider for Yoganathan's well-timed run into the box. The cross was inch-perfect, and Yoganathan's header gave Whitworth no chance – a proper glanced finish that had the Ponty End bouncing. Two-nil up inside sixteen minutes against a side scrapping near the bottom half? This felt like one of those afternoons where everything would fall into place. Then came the fan protests, with tennis balls scattered across the Oakwell turf as supporters voiced their displeasure with the boardroom situation. Play stopped briefly while the pitch was cleared, adding to an atmosphere that was part celebration, part frustration. Exeter Dig In Credit where it's due – Exeter didn't fold. They regrouped, tightened up at the back, and started making life uncomfortable for us in ways that reminded everyone why League One can be such a leveller. Their three-at-the-back system began to find its rhythm, with Sweeney and Woodhouse closing down space that had seemed endless in those opening exchanges. We controlled possession without really threatening to extend our lead, which felt ominous in the way these things always do. O'Connell and de Gevigney looked solid enough at the back, but there's something about sitting on a two-goal cushion that makes every Barnsley fan reach for the Gaviscon. We've all been here before. Phillips and Connell kept things ticking over in midfield, but the cutting edge that carved Exeter open early had dulled considerably. By half-time, the visitors were asking questions we weren't answering with quite the same authority. Nerves Return The second half lacked any clearcut chances, we were managing the game rather than dominating it. Exeter, with nothing to lose, started throwing more bodies forward. Their persistence finally paid off with fifteen minutes remaining when Wareham latched onto Magennis's assist to slot past Goodman. Suddenly, what had looked like a comfortable afternoon turned into exactly the kind of squeaky-bum finish that defines our season. Holding On The final quarter-hour felt longer than a Yorkshire winter. Exeter sensed blood and pressed forward with the desperation of a side that knows every point matters down there. Bradshaw, introduced earlier, worked tirelessly to give us an outlet, but mostly we were defending deeper than we'd like, inviting pressure that felt unnecessary given our early dominance. Goodman, largely a spectator for most of the afternoon, suddenly found himself busy as Exeter threw everything at us. The keeper dealt with everything competently enough, but you could sense the tension around Oakwell as memories of dropped points from winning positions came flooding back. Here's the thing though – we held on. Not pretty, not comfortable, but effective enough when it mattered. Three points that lift us back into the top half of the table, even if the manner of victory left plenty to discuss on the walk back to town. The early goals showed what we're capable of when things click, but the nervy finish reminded everyone that consistency remains our biggest challenge. Same drama, different season. Team Line-ups: Barnsley (4-2-3-1): Oliver Goodman, Jack Shepherd, Eron O'Connell, Mael de Gevigney, Corey O'Keeffe, Luca Connell, Vimal Yoganathan, Adam Phillips, David McGoldrick, Reyes Cleary, Tom Bradshaw Subs: Nathan Ogbeta, Scott Banks, Jonah Bland, Marcus Watters, Tyrell Watson Goals: David McGoldrick (8'), Vimal Yoganathan (16') Yellow Cards: Jack Shepherd (29') Exeter City (3-4-2-1): Joe Whitworth, Jack McMillan, Liam Woodhouse, Pierce Sweeney, Robbie Rydel, Ilmari Niskanen, Louie Oakes, Ed Brierley, Jack Aitchison, Carlos Mendes Gomes, Jayden Wareham Subs: Caleb Cummins, Ryan Cole, Josh Magennis, Kami Eisa, Sonny Cox Goals: Jayden Wareham (75') Yellow Cards: Robbie Rydel (23') Match Stats: Statistic Barnsley Exeter City Possession 48.9% 51.1% Shots 9 11 Shots on target 4 1 Goalkeeper saves 0 2 Aerial duels won 18 15 Fouls committed 10 13 Corners 6 6 Final Whistle Make no mistake, this was exactly the kind of performance that sums up our season. Brilliant for twenty minutes, comfortable for forty, then hanging on like grim death for the final quarter-hour while everyone in red and white aged several years. McGoldrick was unplayable in those opening exchanges, combining with Cleary and Yoganathan like they'd been reading each other's minds all season. But once Wareham pulled one back, we reverted to type – defending deeper than a Yorkshire coal seam and inviting exactly the sort of pressure that makes three points feel more like relief than celebration. The tennis ball protests added an extra layer of tension to what should have been a routine afternoon, but perhaps that's fitting given where we find ourselves. Top half of the table, yes, but still searching for the consistency that separates decent sides from promotion contenders. Hourihane's men have the quality – those early goals proved as much – but the mentality of seeing games out professionally remains frustratingly elusive. Three points against a struggling Exeter side keeps us ticking along nicely, but we'll need to show more killer instinct if we're serious about gatecrashing the play-off party. The talent's there, the foundations look solid enough, but football's littered with sides who could do it for twenty minutes rather than ninety. Here's hoping today's early swagger becomes the template rather than the exception.

BUY NOW! http://www.cornerofthegalaxy.com/SHOP - SUBSCRIBE TO OUR PODCAST: http://cornerofthegalaxy.com/subscribe/ - COG LA GALAXY DISCORD: https://discord.gg/drr9HFZY2P COG STUDIOS, Calif. -- It's been a busy day. The Transfer Window is officially closing. But the LA Galaxy have done some excellent business this window. With no DP slots and while somewhat restricted on TAM, the Galaxy were able to land Gaston Brugman and their just announced signing, 22-year-old Riqui Puig. And then they sent Rayan Raveloson to Ligue 1 for a sizeable transfer fee. It's a coup of sorts for an under-fire front office. And it comes on the heels of a solid performance at the first-ever soccer game played at SoFi Stadium. It was a night where the future of the Galaxy was on full display. Hosts Josh Guesman and Sophie Nicolaou will update you on Galaxy news and talk about how all these pieces fall together for the season's home stretch. The first item on the itinerary has Josh and Sophie talk about the Galaxy's confidence after beating Chivas at SoFi Stadium. What did the stadium have to offer, and why was Greg Vanney beaming afterward? And what details can we share about the transfers of Puig and Raveloson? What grade does the front office get for the moves they've made? Finally, what can we expect from a game in Kansas City? Is this another place that, historically, the Galaxy don't win? Is this a "Can't Lose" game with just 12 of them remaining? We've got a great show for you tonight as the transfer window shuts and the season comes into stark focus.

Jimbo, Daniel Storey, Carl Anka and Sasha Goryunov react to a fantastic night for the Three Lions in Rome. England cruise past Ukraine 4-0 and into the last 4 of Euro 2020.

A long episode breaking down the loss to Mexico, the opening flurry from the US, the gradual annexation of the game by Mexico, and that 20-minute period of utter helplessness in the second half culminating in the match-winning goal for El Tri. We try to discuss what this game and the overall performance in the Gold Cup all mean for the USMNT and the player pool in the fall and beyond.
