Ghanaian winger Joseph Paintsil has opened up about his disappointment after being left out of Ghana’s squad for the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar.Speaking to VamosNetwork, the Los Angeles Galaxy star admitted that missing the tournament was one of the toughest moments of his career and revealed that former Black Stars head coach Otto Addo offered little explanation for the decision.“I was disappointed to miss the 2022 World Cup,” Paintsil said. “The coach told me there was no reason — only that I don’t defend. There was no tangible explanation.”Paintsil’s exclusion surprised many given his strong form at the time. Two years later, the 2024 MLS champion is using that setback as motivation to shine for both club and country.With Carlos Queiroz now in charge of the national team and Ghana preparing for the 2026 World Cup, Paintsil hopes to finally get his chance on football’s biggest stage.“I’m just focused on proving myself again. I want to play for Ghanaians and make them proud,” he added.

Dharmesh Sheth is joined by Miguel Delaney, Charlotte Duncker and Dan Kilpatrick to reflect on the weekend’s sporting action. We kick things off at the Emirates, where Arsenal’s 2–1 defeat to Bournemouth breathes new life into the title race. Is Miguel right to question Arteta’s fine-margin tactics as the finish line draws near? Staying with the title race, are City starting to smell blood—and could a domestic treble be on the cards? Dan isn’t expecting a huge points tally from this season’s winners, but worries Arsenal are fading when it matters most. Next, we head to The Masters, where Rory McIlroy is joint leader heading into the final day, despite a difficult Saturday. Riath Al-Samarrai joins us from Augusta, calling ‘moving day’ extraordinary and Cameron Young sensational—but could this be more than a two-horse race? And finally, we dive into Roberto De Zerbi’s arrival at Spurs—does starting his reign in the relegation zone only increase the pressure? Dan says he’ll return to the show in full Arsenal kit if De Zerbi lasts his contract. - •You can watch the sporting action live on Sky Sports.

Inter Miami are set to host New York Red Bulls in Major League Soccer action, with all eyes on Lionel Messi. Inter Miami are looking for their first win this Saturday at Nu Stadium at Miami Freedom Park following last week’s grand opening. Their opponent in this MLS matchup will be New York Red Bulls, with Lionel Messi once again leading the team. The Herons currently sit tied for second place in the Eastern Conference standings with 11 points, level with New York City FC and Charlotte FC, after recording three wins, two draws, and one loss. At the top of the table are Nashville SC with 13 points. Their opponent, New York Red Bulls, have had a similar campaign so far: they trail Inter Miami by just one point in the standings and will be motivated by the chance to make a statement with a win at Nu Stadium. Confirmed Inter Miami lineup Compared to last week’s match, head coach Javier Mascherano will introduce a couple of changes to the starting lineup against New York Red Bulls, taking into account recent performances and minor fitness concerns. Most importantly, Lionel Messi will remain in the starting XI. Lionel Messi of Inter Miami talks with Javier Mascherano as he leaves the field. The confirmed Inter Miami lineup is: Dayne St. Clair; Ian Fray, Maximiliano Falcon, Micael, Sergio Reguilon; Rodrigo De Paul, Yannick Bright; Mateo Silvetti, Lionel Messi, Telasco Segovia; German Berterame. Confirmed New York Red Bulls lineup After defeating FC Cincinnati last weekend in MLS play, New York Red Bulls enter this matchup against Inter Miami in good form. However, head coach Michael Bradley knows that Saturday’s challenge against Lionel Messi and company will be far more demanding. The confirmed New York Red Bulls lineup is: Ethan Horvath; Jahkeele Marshall-Rutty, Dylan Nealis, Robert Voloder, Matthew Dos Santos; Adri Mehmeti, Emil Forsberg, Ronald Donkor; Cade Cowell, Julian Hall, Jorge Ruvalcaba.

With the international break completed, the Orange & Blue square against a familiar foe in a not-so-familiar landscape. The red side of New York wants to forget 2025 so badly that they have tweaked their team name and made a big name their new head coach. Michael Bradley’s first five matches have been a mix of progress and regression, with Red Bull winning twice but losing two of their last three. So how do the Red Bulls return to prominence after missing their first MLS playoff in 15 years? Will the fountain of youth in the academy fuel New York’s offense? Are there any warm bodies that can help on defense after their 6-1 loss at Charlotte? We sit down with our good friend Mark from the Seeing Red Podcast to recalibrate and recognize this altered state in the Empire State.

Dharmesh Sheth is joined by The Daily Mail’s Dominic King, The Independent’s Miguel Delaney and The Times’ Martin Samuel to reflect on the weekend’s sporting action. We begin with Man United’s 3-1 defeat at Brentford. Miguel believes Keith Andrews had Amorim’s number and criticises a lack of consistency but is Martin harsh to consider Man United the worst run club in football? Dominic suggests Man United would want to be run more like Brentford. Next we focus on Liverpool, who got a taste of their last-minute-winner medicine against Crystal Palace, losing in extra time by an Eddie Nketiah goal. Will defensive frailties be an issue for Liverpool as the season unfolds? We then move to Arsenal, and Dominic considers Arteta’s side to have the best squad in the league, with depth in every position, but they need take advantage of title-rival slip ups; something they were unable to capitalise on last year. We also look at Europe’s successful Ryder Cup weekend. Dominic calls it a ‘demolition’ and praises Fleetwood and Rose’s second day performance. Finally, The Times’ Charlotte Duncker joins us on the pod to chat more about Amorim’s system and future at Man United, and Ange’s difficult start at Nottingham Forest.

Dharmesh Sheth is joined by ESPN’s Mark Ogden, The Mail’s Craig Hope and The Mirror’s John Cross to reflect on the weekend’s sporting action. We begin with Man United’s chaotic home win against Chelsea. Craig believes United will always have enough quality to keep bad managers in good jobs. But will this win be a turning point in their season? Next we look at Graham Potter, who’s feeling the pressure as West Ham were booed off, after a loss at home to Crystal Palace. Mark believes Potter tries to play an attractive style of football, but is there any way back for him from here? We also look at the difficult situation at Wolves, and whilst Vitor Pereira is struggling, Craig argues that Wolves have the right man in the role, and losing Cunha and Ait-Nouri was always going to be tough. Elsewhere, we look at Arsenal v Man City; John thinks Liverpool are setting such a relentless standard, that already in the season we have must-win games for the teams looking to challenge. We then move to Liverpool’s Merseyside derby win. Mark highlights Liverpool’s fire power but there’s also a running theme of throwing away leads this season. Finally, The Athletic’s Charlotte Harpur comes on to the pod to talk of the sad news of Liverpool FC Women’s manager Matt Beard’s passing. Charlotte talks of Matt’s legacy both on and off the pitch, including consecutive WSL wins and Matt's empathetic character.

Miguel emphasises Arteta’s impressive squad depth, and Riath praises Gyokeres, with three goals in his first four league games. Next we look at Newcastle’s new signing Nick Woltemade, who helped Eddie Howe’s side to a win against Wolves on his debut. Riath believes Woltemade will bring the best out of the player’s around him. We then have The Athletic’s James Pearce on to the pod, highlighting Isak’s arrival at Liverpool as an exciting option for more rotation in Arne Slot’s side this year. Elsewhere, we look at Tottenham’s thrashing of West Ham; Riath comments on Thomas Frank’s fantastic start to the season and Miguel talks of Frank’s ability to adapt tactics and use pragmaticism effectively. Finally, we look at the Manchester Derby; Charlotte mentions that whilst Pep hasn’t had the best start, Ruben Amorim’s problems are significantly worse.

Dharmesh Sheth is joined by The Independent’s Miguel Delaney, The Times’ Charlotte Duncker and The Guardian’s Jonathan Liew to reflect on the weekend’s sporting action. We begin talking transfers, and whilst Eberechi Eze looks likely to be on his way to Tottenham, the Alexander Isak saga continues as Newcastle look for necessary replacements. Next we discuss David De Gea’s possible return to Old Trafford. Whilst Charlotte considers De Gea a better shot-stopper than Onana, but still believes it to be an unlikely move. Elsewhere, we discuss the racist incident against Antoine Semenyo. Miguel talks about the importance of education outside of just football, and Charlotte praises how quickly it was dealt with. We also praise Man City’s resurgent start to the new season; Pep’s rebuild looks impressive after their opening game, but are City back? Then, The Sunday Times' Jonathan Northcroft speaks with us on it being time for Mikel Arteta to win the Premier League. Is it now or never for Arteta at Arsenal?

The boys give their takes on other MLS news and scores, before inviting Lee from Charlotte FC Fan TV to help preview the upcoming matchup between the Columbus Crew and Charlotte FC.

Eight years ago, a 19 year old Jimmy Filerman had his first experience in the US Open Cup as a player for the South Florida Surf in USL League Two. A team of mostly amateur players in their schools’ offseasons came together to face Miami FC, who at the time was spending big money to put together a competitive roster in the NASL with Manager Alessandro Nesta (of Italian National Team Fame). The team of kids tied the game in the 76’ before Miami put the go-ahead goal away in the 80’. It was the type of game that makes this tournament so special. It gives young players the opportunity to test themselves against seasoned professionals. It puts David up against Goliath in a winner-take-all one match battle. It gives players that have given their youth to the game an experience they won’t forget. Lastly, it is truly the only open thing that exists in our world of soccer with a closed pyramid. Jimmy would return back to Old Dominion for two more seasons after that and end his college career in 2019. Despite Covid doing its best to kill off parts of the fragile US Soccer Lower Leagues, he found a home in Detroit City in 2020 and 2021. He was part of those DCFC teams that completely dominated NISA. With Covid putting a pause on the Open Cup due to travel restrictions, there were no opportunities for him to play the tournament while playing for the club. But 2021 would take Filerman down to Greenville Triumph for his first experience playing in the professional ranks of USL. It was here that he’d see US Open Cup action for the second time. Greenville triumphed (dad joke) over Oakland Roots for a first round cupset and that set up a home game for them against MLS’ Charlotte FC. The 4,000 person capacity stadium witnessed their 3rd Division squad take Charlotte to extra time where they eventually succumbed 2-1. “They subbed in guys like Christian Fuchs” says Jimmy on the pod. “Just being on the field with guys you grew up watching, and those big entities where you know how much money they’re bringing in and how much money has gone into the roster is just different.” After a broken leg ended his time at Greenville, Jimmy joined up with the Maryland Bobcats in 2023 and was part of a roster that took down the Ocean City Nor’easters on a last second winner before succumbing on the road to the Pittsburgh Riverhounds on a cold, wet night along the Monongahela River. Fast forward to Jimmy in 2025 and a lot has changed. The 19 year old kid that admittedly loved him some College is now a 28 year old man that has had a lasting career in the 3rd and 4th divisions of the US Soccer Pyramid. A lot has happened in those eight years. Things have come full circle for Jimmy as he returned to the Open Cup as an amateur 8 years after being there with South Florida Surf.
