Burnley promoted to English top flight

By Soccer

In one of the most impressive performances by a team in the second division of English football, Burnley have been promoted back to the Premier League with seven games left to play. 

Vincent Kompany’s exceptional side edged past another team seeking promotion, Middlesbrough in a 2-1 victory on Friday night, which was the result that sealed their return to the English top flight with seven games to spare after Luton Town couldn’t get three points earlier that day. Connor Roberts’ goal from close range was enough to seal the victory and promotion for the league leaders, after Chuba Akpom canceled Ashley Barnes’ opener.

Potter sacked, replaced by Lampard

By Soccer

Graham Potter’s appointment as Chelsea’s new head coach last September was meant to proclaim a new era at the club after a short period of unprecedented problems with Thomas Tuchel, (whose sacking came as a shock to many). Instead, this era was cut short after just seven months, and 31 games, due to several poor results.

Manchester City’s Golden generation’ and their fate

By Soccer

Manchester City have been the most successful team in the premier league since the appointment of Spanish veteran, Pep Guardiola. They have won four Premier League titles, four League cup titles, two community shield titles and one FA Cup title over the past six years. Asides from that, they’ve also implemented a very exciting playing style, playing tiki taka at its very best and scoring a lot of goals. However, the team has lacked that cutting edge in the UEFA Champions League. They’ve been eliminated from the quarterfinals several times, with their closest to the trophy a final match loss to Chelsea in 2021.

Kevin De Bruyne – how good is he?

By Soccer

Having the ability to score with his strong and weak foot, coupled with his unique skill of passing that glides through the defence, one midfielder who’s often in the best midfielder debate is Kevin De Bruyne. The Manchester City midfielder and Belgian international is one of the few midfielders who have all abilities in one. His passing is top notch, alongside his goal scoring abilities which is one of the best in the world for a midfielder, but there’s one question on people’s minds. Is Kevin De Bruyne really the best midfielder in the world?

Griezmann snubbed as Mbappe named France new captain

By Soccer

Kylian Mbappe was named as the new captain of the French national team after Hugo Lloris’ retirement from international football. Antoine Griezmann will be the vice-captain, despite reports on Tuesday suggesting he was questioning his international future after being snubbed for the captaincy. Mbappe, the top scorer at last year’s World Cup, where France finished as runners-up to Argentina, is set to lead the side during the country’s upcoming Euro 2024 qualifiers. The 24-year-old has scored 36 goals in 66 caps for Les Bleus since making his debut in 2017, putting him sixth on their all-time list of top goalscorers. Having also netted 12 times at just two World Cups, he is only four goals behind former Germany striker Miroslav Klose – who is the top scorer in the tournament’s history.

Nagelsmann Sacked as Bayern Manager

By Soccer

In one of the most surprising managerial changes in recent times, Julian Nagelsmann was fired as manager of Bayern Munich on Wednesday night. The 35-year-old German, who led Bayern to the Bundesliga title in his first campaign in charge last season, was relieved of his duties as head coach of Bayern Munich after losing to Bayer Leverkusen and going into the international break one point off current league leaders, Borussia Dortmund. They are also in the quarterfinals of the Champions League, after seven clean sheets in eight European matches, silencing top teams like PSG, Inter Milan and Barcelona, en route to the last eight where they will face Manchester City. Despite the fact that Julien had just three league defeats all season and an impressive average of 2.19 points per match during his 19 months as head coach, the fourth best tally for a Bayern manager in Bundesliga history, the club’s board was dissatisfied with Nagelsmann.

PSG bow out of the UCL again!!!

By Soccer

For their 11th consecutive time in 11 years, PSG’s attempt at winning the Champions League ended in more misery, leaving the manager, Christopher Galtier, in between a rock and a hard place. With their project, which just started a couple of years ago, failing to deliver, I think I speak for the world when I say they need to liquidate and start all over.

Cancelo’s struggles continue at Bayern

By Soccer

In one of the biggest shocks ever in a January transfer window, Manchester City allowed Portugal’s Joao Cancelo to leave on loan to Bayern Munich. At the beginning of the season, Cancelo was regarded as the best full-back in the world, so the fact he was able to leave midway into the season without a replacement caught the majority of football fans by surprise. However, he hasn’t been having a rosy run at Bayern, which perhaps explains why Pep Guardiola really wasn’t too weary about seeing his once-trusted player go out on loan.
