Modern football has transformed the right-back position from a purely defensive role into one of the most influential engines of tactical progression. In contemporary systems, fullbacks are often responsible for stretching defensive blocks, sustaining attacking width, and protecting transitions through intelligent positioning.

The AFCON final was back in January 18th, but it feels like the game was yesterday.

And then, when finally everything settled in, CAF rose the dust with it’s decision to strip Senegal of the title and give it to Morocco. And we are now in the middle of the whirlwind again. The Lions of Teranga were outraged while CAF moved quickly and already announced Morocco as the new champion. But Senegal is prepared for a ‘war’. The Court of Arbitration for Sports (CAS) has officially confirmed receiving an appeal from the Senegalese Football Federation (FSF) regarding the AFCON title that the Lions of Teranga were stripped of by CAF. But they didn’t stop there. They already confirmed that the trophy will not be given to Morocco. Senegal also plan to parade the Africa Cup of Nations trophy before their game aga..

You don’t often see a winning team look this worried.But that was exactly the case with Jamaica after their narrow and deeply unconvincing 1-0 victory over New Caledonia in the semi-finals of the intercontinental World Cup playoffs.On paper, a win. In reality, a warning.🚨🌎 | GOAL: BAILEY CADAMARTERI OPENS THE SCORING FOR JAMAICA IN THE 2026 WORLD CUP INTERCONTINENTAL PLAYOFFS!🇳🇨 New Caledonia 0-1 Jamaica 🇯🇲 pic.twitter.com/gwwy0rNg4o— TheGoalsZone (@TheGoalsZone) March 27, 2026 Just 1-0 against a side made up almost entirely of amateurs. Almost, because Angelo Fulgini, formerly of FC Nantes and now playing for Al Taawoun FC, recently switched allegiance to represent his country of origin. He is, for now, the only fully professional player in the New Caledonia squad, and he nearly made history on his debut.Early on, Fulgini struck the post with a header, inches away from delivering a shock that would have echoed far beyond the stadium.Instead, the punishment came swiftly.In the 18th min..

All sorts of thoughts were running through the minds of Italy national football team players and fans, with memories of Sweden national football team and North Macedonia national football team resurfacing—until Sandro Tonali settled the ball and fired an arrow into the net of Northern Ireland national football team. Up to that moment, Italy had been paralyzed by nerves and fear of missing out on the World Cup for a third consecutive time. They still haven’t secured their ticket to the biggest stage in world football, but they’ve completed the easier part of the job with a 2–0 win over Northern Ireland in the playoff semifinal, and now a final awaits against Bosnia and Herzegovina national football team.For nearly an hour in Bergamo, Italy were tied in knots and had no idea how to break through Northern Ireland’s defensive wall. Some might say it’s in Italy’s DNA to grind out results like this, but this is no longer the same Italy that consciously plays for narrow wins with confidence a..
