Seven Arsenal players have been nominated for the 2025 Ballon d’Or Féminin, with only two United States women’s national team players’ named among the 30 nominees. Arsenal lifted the Women’s Champions League trophy in May, ending their 18-year wait for a second European title. That triumph played a part in Leah Williamson, Chloe Kelly, Mariona Caldentey, Alessia Russo, Frida Maanum, Steph Catley, and Emily Fox being nominated for the prestigious…

England defender Esme Morgan has joked that the note she gave to Lucy Bronze during the Lionesses’ dramatic quarterfinal comeback against Sweden, on their way to the Euro 2025 title, read “save us GOAT [greatest of all time].” England rode their luck throughout the knockout stages of the tournament, and were grateful for late goals on more than occasion on their road to the trophy. “I think sometimes you just…

THE GREATEST ASIAN player of all time. Whenever such GOAT conversations arise, there is bound to be debate and disagreement. It’s purely subjective and differs depending on an individual’s primary criteria: be it team success or individual accolades. Even so, Son Heung-min does indeed have an excellent case in being labelled Asian football’s greatest player of all time.

A Manchester United supporters’ group has announced a fresh protest against the Glazer family and, for the first time, Sir Jim Ratcliffe ahead of their Premier League opener against Arsenal.

Soccer truly never stops. As preposterous as it might sound, considering the Women’s Euros ended less than a week ago and the Club World Cup ended less than three weeks ago, the offseason is just about over. Champions League qualification is already underway, the Premier League’s 2025-26 campaign begins in two weeks, and all of Europe’s big leagues will get rolling soon after. Thanks to the awkwardness of Europe’s transfer…

CHICAGO — Ruben Amorim is plotting Manchester United’s resurgence. At the club’s summer base, the Chicago Fire’s training facility, the Portuguese coach is attempting to put the pieces in place to recover from United’s worst campaign for more than 50 years — their 15th-place finish in the Premier League last season was the lowest since relegation to the second tier in 1974. In response, Amorim has sanctioned the £128.5 million…

West Ham United have signed Callum Wilson on a one-year contract following his departure from Newcastle United last month. The 33-year-old was a free agent after being unable to agree a new deal at Newcastle, where he scored 49 goals in 130 appearances across all competitions in five seasons.
