Few African nations have become as familiar with the World Cup as Tunisia. Yet for all their consistency, the Eagles of Carthage still carry an unwanted record: despite appearing at numerous tournaments, they have never reached the knockout stage.Their road to the 2026 World Cup was characteristic of the team itself – disciplined, efficient and rarely spectacular. Tunisia once again navigated a demanding African qualifying campaign without much drama, relying on defensive solidity and the experience accumulated over decades of international competition.##NAJAVA_MECA_9775382##Now comes the bigger challenge. Qualification is no longer enough, and the dream is finally breaking the ceiling that has frustrated generations of Tunisian footballers.Main virtues:Experience remains Tunisia’s greatest weapon. Few African teams arrive at major tournaments with such a strong understanding of game management. Tunisia rarely panic, rarely lose their shape and are notoriously difficult to break down. ..

Paulo Dybala’s stint with AS Roma is slowly but surely coming to an end. After four years at Stadio Olimpico, the Argentinian is preparing for a likely move back to his homeland, as Boca Juniors are the favourites for his signature.La Joya’s departure will undoubtedly leave a huge gap in Gian Piero Gasperini’s squad, one that needs to be filled as soon as possible. Therefore, the Giallorossi did not waste any time, having already identified a perfect replacement for Dybala – Mason Greenwood.Greenwood during his youth days at Man United (©Charles McQuillan/Getty Images)The Manchester United academy product has completely revived his career at Olympique Marseille, leaving both on-pitch struggles and private problems behind. Last season, he had a “double-double” record of 26 goals and 11 assists in 45 games, being the most influential player of the Ligue 1 side.That’s why L’OM won’t easily give up on him, setting his price at €55 million.

Senegal arrives in North America not merely to participate, but to challenge the established order of world football. With a population of just over 16 million, the nation has enjoyed a remarkable rise in the sport, highlighted by its historic Africa Cup of Nations triumph—a title that was later stripped away and controversially awarded to host nation Morocco. Yet no ruling can erase what everyone witnessed on the pitch: Senegal earned that trophy through its performances.

Every cloud has a silver lining.When Eduardo Camavinga was left out of the France World Cup squad, many were stunned by Didier Deschamps’ decision to omit a midfielder playing for Real Madrid. However, it is fair to say that the 23-year-old endured a disappointing campaign.Real Madrid locker room atmosphere among the French: Mbappe and Kante fall out?He started only 23 games for Los Blancos (out of 43 he played), averaging just over 50 minutes per appearance. Moreover, his silly red card – he picked up a second yellow card for holding onto the ball and delaying the restart of play – in the Champions League quarter-finals return leg against Bayern Munich might have doomed Madrid and sealed their UCL fate.Therefore, it can be discussed whether Deschamps’ choice was justified, but regardless, the decision has been made, and there is no turning back. Les Bleus are currently in France, where they’ll play their final warm-up game against Northern Ireland tomorrow (22.10) before traveling to ..

The 2026 FIFA World Cup kicks off in just four days, and the national teams from all around the globe have already arrived in the USA, where they are using the remaining time to play friendly matches and fine-tune their preparations for the prestigious tournament.Last night, three giants, England, Argentina, and Brazil, were on the pitch, and all three sides came away with victories, though none of them impressed.The Three Lions faced another World Cup team, New Zealand, in Tampa, Florida, and notched a narrow 1-0 victory thanks to Harry Kane’s first-half added-time goal, despite meeting a team whom Haiti destroyed 4-0 just four days ago.Thomas Tuchel’s squad dominated the game but failed to create many chances, highlighting what appears to be the German’s biggest concern at the moment – a lack of clinical finishing.England made 23 attempts (compared to the rivals’ three), Dan Burn hit the post after the break, while Tuchel rotated his entire team at half-time.Before the start of the W..

There is something deeply poetic about the Black Stars and the World Cup Finals. In 2010, they carried the entire African continent on their shoulders until that fateful winter day when Luis Suárez’s infamous handball denied Dominic Adiyiah’s goal-bound header.In an instant, Suárez became public enemy number one across Africa. Yet, this team was always meant for a grander purpose. Conceived by Africa’s greatest pan-Africanist, Kwame Nkrumah, the Black Stars were created to represent black independence and excellence, named after Marcus Garvey’s Black Star Line shipping company. That pioneering 1960s side even played glamorous exhibition matches against Real Madrid and West Germany.Download our MozzartSport App For More NewsFast forward to 2026, and Ghana is preparing to face Panama, Croatia, and their former colonizers, England, in the World Cup group stage.
