Lineup

Alex Morgan won't be taking the Olympic stage for the first time since 2008. Her absence from Emma Hayes' U.S. squad marks a striking shift. Morgan boasts 123 goals from 224 caps and proudly clinched gold at the 2012 London Olympics. Yet, following her recovery from an ankle injury, she's been goalless in her last eight appearances for the San Diego Wave. Expressing her disappointment on social media, Morgan shared, "Missing the Olympics is tough, a tournament that holds a dear place in my heart. Donning the crest has…

Spain's Olympic delegation for the games in Paris includes the young Barcelona defender, Pau Cubarsi. Among the standout personalities, he sparkles as a novel choice.

A mere 17, the centre-back initially joined Luis de la Fuente's squad for Euro 2024 but did not make the final team. Eric Garcia, coming off a season loaned to Girona,…

On Thursday, an anticlimactic standoff between England and Denmark resulted in an unsatisfactory draw, leaving Gareth Southgate lamenting the lack of robust options in his midfield arsenal. England's opening to their Group C journey was less than stellar, with a lackluster victory over Serbia, and they couldn't seal the deal for the top spot prematurely, thanks to a 1-1 tie with Denmark. Harry Kane gave England an early lead 18 minutes into the game, but the team then receded into defensive tactics. Denmark responded with…

Poland's ace, Robert Lewandowski, was absent for Poland's debut match at Euro 2024. Despite this, Ralf Ragnick is optimistic that Lewandowski will rebound in time for the clash against Austria. Ralf Ragnick has voiced that Austria's game plan won’t pivot despite Lewandowski missing the initial face-off at Euro 2024 against the Dutch. The Barcelona luminary, standing as Poland’s supreme scorer with 82 goals, was sidelined due to a thigh snag during a warm-up bout against Turkiye, culminating in Poland's 2-1 defeat in…

Lionel Scaloni has finalized his 26-man lineup for Argentina's tilt at the Copa America, without any unexpected twists. Angel Correa, alongside Leonardo Balerdi and Valentin Barco, didn't make the cut for Lionel Scaloni's squad for the Copa America. Last month saw Scaloni shortlist 29 players as Argentina preps to defend their crown, with Lionel Messi at the helm again. Despite earning 25 caps and notching three goals for La Albiceleste, Correa only played in a substitute role in the latest clash against Ecuador and was a…

Harry Maguire, Jack Grealish, and James Maddison did not make it into Gareth Southgate's final 23-man list for Euro 2024.

This week Gareth Southgate is slashing England's roster to 26 names; James Maddison and Curtis Jones didn't make the roster. Maddison and Jones were both in Southgate's initial 33-strong squad. However, they didn't start in the 3-0 scrimmage against Bosnia and Herzegovina, despite the experimental lineup. In that match, Maddison watched from the sidelines as a sub, while starters like Eberechi Eze, Cole Palmer, and Jarrod Bowen took to the field in the absence of Jude Bellingham, Phil Foden, and Bukayo Saka. Liverpool's…

Thierry Henry has rolled out the preliminary squad for the France team at the impending Olympic Games, and some marquee players haven't made the cut. Henry, steering Les Bleus' U-23 helm, chose not to roster PSG's forward Kylian Mbappe. Mbappe is poised to hitch his wagon to Real Madrid soon, following their 15th Champions League title.
