MLS watchability tiers: Who’s the best team to watch this year?

  1. Spurs must sack Frank and make changes before they're relegated

    Tottenham Hotspur sit 15th in the Premier League table. They are only six points clear of the relegation zone. Zero wins from eight domestic games in 2026. Their next two matches are against sides they don't have a strong recent history against in Newcastle and Arsenal. Yet there seems to be very little alarm around the club that this is a season that could very well end in disaster.

  2. LEGACY: Mexico - the World Cup's most prolific hosts

    This is Legacy, GOAL’s podcast and feature series to mark the countdown to the 2026 World Cup. Each week, we explore the stories and the spirit behind the nations that define the world’s game.

  1. 'Getting up was hard' - USMNT star Weah was ‘broken player’

    USMNT star Tim Weah admits that he was a “broken player” when joining Marseille in 2025, with “getting up in the morning” proving difficult during a testing spell at Serie A giants Juventus. The United States international, who is the son of Ballon d’Or-winning AC Milan legend George, feels that he has finally found a home in France where he can put down roots.

Expert Opinion & Analysis

  1. Get Mainoo on the plane! Tuchel mustn't make Amorim's mistake

    If Ruben Amorim had stayed in charge of Manchester United, Kobbie Mainoo would be speaking to prospective clubs right now about leaving - if he hadn't departed already. Instead, the homegrown midfielder is thriving under Michael Carrick and looks every bit United’s present as well as its future. With every game he plays, Mainoo is making Amorim’s decision to disregard his talent seem all the more ridiculous.

  2. Kane ends BuLi fairy tale as McTominay scores through pain

    GOAL runs the rule over the British players earning a living away from their homeland, with plenty more stars deciding to leave their comfort zones in search of a better footballing life elsewhere. The Premier League is still obviously one of the world's most entertaining divisions and the Championship can prove fantastic for development, but there are more options out there.

  1. Man Utd make shock Maguire contract decision ahead of expiry

    Harry Maguire is "increasingly likely" to sign a new contract with Manchester United after resurrecting his career under interim manager Michael Carrick. The England international's contract is due to expire in the summer but he has impressed in recent weeks, forming an effective centre-back partnership with Lisandro Martinez in the Red Devils defence. The 32-year-old has been given a route back into the United team due the recent injury suffered by Matthijs de Ligt.

  2. Jean-Philippe Mateta

    Palace make Mateta surgery decision after Milan transfer collapse

    Crystal Palace striker Jean-Philippe Mateta will not undergo surgery on a niggling knee problem after all, despite the injury scuppering his January transfer to AC Milan. The Frenchman seemed on course to join the Italian giants in a £30 million ($41m) deadline day move, but the deal was called off after the issue with his knee was flagged in his medical examinations.

  3. Bayern 'convinced' over Kane renewal despite cryptic update

    Bayern Munich are said to be "convinced" England captain Harry Kane will sign a new contract with them despite rumours of a potential transfer to the Premier League or Saudi Pro League. The striker left Tottenham in 2023 to join the Bavarian giants and has been a big hit in Germany, scoring 123 goals for Bayern in less than three seasons. However, his current contract is due to expire in 2027 and is said to contain a clause which could see Kane leave this summer for just £57 million ($78m).

  4. Salah in talks with Saudi giants over summer transfer

    Mohamed Salah is reportedly in talks with Saudi Pro League giants Al-Ittihad over a potential move in the summer transfer window. The Egyptian has been a long-term target for Saudi Arabian clubs since the Public Investment Fund (PIF) first started pouring cash into the country's top league and Salah, who has endured a tetchy and difficult season at Liverpool, is wanted as their next marquee signing this year.

  1. Aluko accuses Woods of 'gaslighting' as public row escalates

    The public war of words between Eni Aluko and Laura Woods has continued, with the former England international hitting back at the ITV and TNT Sports presenter. Aluko has recently said her path towards punditry roles in the women's game has been blocked by England and Arsenal legend Ian Wright, leading to Woods quipping that "caps don't win automatic work". Now, Aluko has claimed Woods' comments have left her feeling "gaslit".

  2. Aluko aims ANOTHER dig at Wright over Lionesses pundit selection

    Eni Aluko has renewed her public criticism of the choice of male pundits in women's football, aiming a dig towards Ian Wright and Nedum Onuoha for their TV roles covering the Lionesses' Euro 2025 final at ITV and the BBC, respectively. This is not the first time that Aluko has called out a perceived lack of opportunities for female pundits, criticising Wright in the past for his prominent place within the women's game before issuing a public apology for her words.
