Ghana international Joseph Paintsil has expressed his willingness to continue giving his all to the Black Stars anytime he is called upon. The LA Galaxy winger who missed out on the 2022 World Cup squad has struggled to stay fit in recent times, thereby making his place in the team contentious.However, for Joseph Paintsil, wearing the Ghana jersey goes beyond personal ambition – it's a duty to his nation and its fans.“I’m playing for the people of Ghana and not an individual person,” the Los Angeles Galaxy winger said, his voice firm with conviction.As the 2026 FIFA World Cup approaches, Paintsil’s words echo the sentiment of many Ghanaian players preparing to fight for their place in Carlos Queiroz’s squad.The new Black Stars head coach has promised a fresh era built on merit, discipline, and passion — qualities Paintsil has consistently displayed in both club and international football.Since arriving in Major League Soccer, Paintsil has lit up the pitch with his pace, creativity, and hunger to make a difference. His performances for LA Galaxy have reignited conversations about his importance to the national team, especially after his controversial omission from Ghana’s 2022 World Cup roster.Now,...

Super Eagles goalkeeper Stanley Nwabali has posed a pointed question to African football administrators, arguing that if domestic leagues offered decent salaries and proper structures, players would have little reason to flee to foreign competitions.Speaking in an interview with Brila FM, Nwabali made it clear that the continuous migration of talent from West Africa to Europe, South Africa, and Morocco is a direct consequence of poor conditions at home."In West Africa, our leagues are not as good. We want to go to Europe, we want to come to South Africa, we want to go to Morocco," he said.But his most telling remark came when he turned the question back on league organisers:"If your league is nice, you're getting paid, you're getting sponsors, what are you leaving for?"Nwabali explained that only a handful of clubs can offer competitive wages, leaving most players with limited financial security during their short careers. He contrasted that with the more professional setups in Southern and North Africa, where better stadiums, stronger sponsorship, and consistent organisation make domestic football attractive and sustainable."The league, the pay is a little bit nice for a certain level of your team," he added, implying...

Brazil former star Filipe Luis highlighted the importance of Carlo Ancelotti at this crucial moment. With two months to go before the start of the 2026 FIFA World Cup, Brazil are hopeful that Carlo Ancelotti can provide the national team with a tactical identity that allows them to compete for the title in North America. Filipe Luis expressed confidence that the Italian coach will get the job done in time. “Ancelotti brings us many good things,” Filipe Luis said during a conference organized by Conmebol this week, according to Diario AS. “There are no guarantees we’ll win anything, but it’s the best that could have happened.” The former Atletico Madrid defender pointed to the timing of Ancelotti’s arrival to take over the national team. In mid-2025, Brazil were coming off a heavy loss to Argentina in Buenos Aires and, with four matches remaining in the South American qualifiers, had not yet secured their place in the World Cup. Carlo Ancelotti delivered the results needed to achieve that goal and has since used every FIFA break to shape a team that had struggled to meet expectations since the departure of Tite after the 2022 World Cup at Qatar. Vinicius Junior is subbed off by Carlo Ancelotti, Head Coach of Brazil. Filipe Luis believes in Brazil’s chances The general consensus among fans and analysts lists Spain, France and Argentina as the top favorites to win the 2026 World Cup. Despite being the most successful national team in the competition’s history, Brazil are not placed in that top tier, but rather in a second group alongside other powerhouses such as Germany, England and Portugal. However, Filipe Luis warned those who might count Brazil out of the title race. “Brazil will always be one of the favorites, even when things aren’t going well,” said the former Flamengo manager, extending that view to Argentina as well. To support his confidence in Ancelotti’s squad, Filipe Luis pointed to the team’s individual talent: “People don’t believe Brazil can win. But if you look at the five best players in the world, we have two: Raphinha and Vini Jr.” Brazil’s path in the 2026 World Cup Brazil are in Group C of the 2026 FIFA World Cup. They will open their campaign on June 13 against Morocco at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey, before traveling to Philadelphia six days later to face Haiti. Their final group-stage match will be on June 24 in Miami against Scotland. If everything goes as expected and Carlo Ancelotti’s side finish top of the group, they will advance to the Round of 16, where they would face the runner-up of Group F — made up of Netherlands, Japan, Sweden and Tunisia — in Houston on June 29.

Super Eagles goalkeeper Stanley Nwabali has issued a stark assessment of football in West Africa, pointing to poor player salaries, weak structures, and inadequate infrastructure as key reasons the region continues to lag behind leagues in South Africa and Morocco.Speaking in an interview with Brila FM, the Nigerian shot-stopper gave a frank evaluation of the challenges facing domestic football across the region, stressing that many players are forced to leave in search of better conditions abroad.“In West Africa, our leagues are not as good. We want to go to Europe, we want to come to South Africa, we want to go to Morocco,” he said.Nwabali explained that only a few clubs can offer competitive wages, leaving many players with limited financial security during their careers.“The league, the pay is a little bit nice for a certain level of your team,” he added.Beyond financial issues, the goalkeeper highlighted the clear gap in infrastructure and organisation, noting that leagues in countries such as South Africa and Morocco benefit from better stadiums, stronger administration, and more professional setups. He argued that these advantages make their domestic competitions more attractive and sustainable compared to many West African leagues.In...

Cristiano Ronaldo has returned from injury and is fit to play for Al Nassr. Cristiano Ronaldo, even at 41 years old, remains a central figure for both his club, Al Nassr, and the Portugal national team. Still drawing global attention, the key question now is when the legendary striker will take the field again. Cristiano Ronaldo’s next game with Al Nassr is scheduled for Wednesday, April 15, when they’ll be hosting Al Ettifaq for Matchday 29 of the 2025-26 Saudi Pro League at Al Awwal Park. The Portuguese extended his goal tally netting the opener in the last 2-0 win against Al Okhdood. Regarding the Portugal national team, Cristiano Ronaldo is expected to return during the June international window. Before the World Cup gets underway, the Selecao will play two friendlies on home soil: the first against Chile on June 6 and the second against Nigeria on June 10. So far this season, the Portuguese icon has scored 25 goals and provided 4 assists in 28 games for Al Nassr, while netting 5 goals in 5 UEFA World Cup qualifiers for Portugal, with his personal account in 968 career goals. With the World Cup set for the USA, Canada, and Mexico at the end of the campaign, Ronaldo will be determined to arrive at what will likely be his final major tournament in top form. Cristiano Ronaldo of Al-Nassr FC scoring a bicycle kick. Ronaldo faced long break due to FIFA schedule After his stunning bicycle-kick goal against Al Khaleej, Cristiano Ronaldo was rested for Al Nassr’s midweek AFC Champions League Two match. But from that point forward, the Portuguese star endured a 24-day gap without competitive action, a result of the upcoming FIFA competition schedule.

The Michael Carrick era at Old Trafford started with a win. Carrick himself labelling it “a dream start” after beating Manchester City 2-0 in the Manchester derby. So, are Manchester United back already?! Plus we hear what difference Marc Guehi's signing could have for Man City as well as reflecting on an incredible night in Rabat as Senegal beat Morocco in an drama-filled AFCON Final. Host: Ayo Akinwolere With: Carl Anka and Oli Kay Featuring: Sam Lee Executive Producer: Adey Moorhead Producers: Guy Clarke and Paul Iliffe Hosted on Acast.

Senegal are winners of the AFCON for the second time! Musa and Ryan begin with one of the most dramatic and astonishing international finals of all-time, which saw Senegal beat hosts Morocco in extra-time in a game that saw incredible drama and an amazing winning goal (03:24). They then move on to Manchester United’s 2-0 win over City in Saturday’s derby (27:29), as well as Michael Carrick’s appointment as head coach until the end of the season. There's discussion about the reaction to the appointment, how free United looked against City, whether this is a sign of things to come or if this is another example of something fans have seen before. Meanwhile, Crystal Palace have had a horrid week or so (56:35). There's chat about Oliver Glasner announcing his departure, his post match interview that caused tension following the defeat to Sunderland, Marc Guéhi’s move to Manchester City and what Palace do now. There’s also round-up of the rest of the Premier League, whistles at the Bernabéu and much more! London listeners, don't forget to get tickets for our next show at the Southbank Centre on March 1st, with special guest Nish Kumar. They're available here.

It’s Jimbo, Daniel Storey, Colin Millar and Luis Miguel Echegaray in position after another dramatic weekend of Premier League action. It’s 4 games without a win for Man City as Michael Carrick’s Man United produce a performance for the ages to win 2-0. How did the Red Devils do it? For the second matchday in a row, Arsenal fail to fully capitalise on City’s slip-up as they draw 0-0 at Forest. Will Mikel Arteta come to regret these missed opportunities in the title race? Perhaps not as Villa also stutter with a 1-0 defeat to Everton. We record the pod as the AFCON final is in progress, not knowing what was about to unfold. A controversial penalty, a walk-off, pitch invasions, a Panenka and eventually a heartbreaking defeat for hosts Morocco against Senegal. Maher Mezahi was there. Billed by some as El Sackico, West Ham are last-minute winners at Tottenham, who lose a third straight game. What next for Thomas Frank? And what next for Oliver Glasner after a remarkable few days where he reveals his plan to leave Palace in the summer, then takes aim at the board for abandoning him and his players. Matt Woosnam has more.
