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..

They finished last in their group with Switzerland, Kosovo*, and Slovenia, failing to win any games and letting in 12 goals over six matches.However, they got another chance through UEFA Nations League C, where they finished first in the 2024/25 season ahead of Azerbaijan, Estonia, and Slovakia. As a result, Graham Potter’s team could reach the World Cup with just two wins and four losses in eigh..

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..

It could hardly be a more interesting friendly match than between France and Brazil in the USA, ahead of the World Cup. The mere strength of the opponents was enough for people to switch on the TV and watch this football giants playing against each other. Didier Deschamps’ men are touring America and even stayed in the same hotel where they will be based during the competition. Both teams had their injury/suspension troubles, but Brazil was more affected by it. Carlo Ancelotti couldn’t count on Marquinhos, Alisson, Bruno Guimaraes, Rodrygo, Gabriel and Eder Militao. On the other side was Kylian Mbappe, who started the game, scored the first goal and player for one hour, after all these reports which stated that he had problems with his knee and that Real treated the wrong leg.Brazil lost 2-1 even thou they had one man more on the field for over half an hour. France was clearly better and even scored the second goal when they were already with 10 men, after Upamecano’s red card. The fac..

Last season, Romelu Lukaku was the main attacking force behind SSC Napoli’s Scudetto charge, but this season has brought very little good for both him and the club. The Italian champions have practically surrendered their Serie A title, disappointed in the Champions League, were eliminated from the Coppa Italia, and even winning the Supercoppa cannot mask an overall poor campaign. One of the key reasons has been Lukaku’s injury. The Belgian striker has played just about an hour of football since the start of the season, scoring only once — and now he has angered the club’s management, with a fine looming.Romelu Lukaku has withdrawn from the Red Devils’ training camp in the USA, and he is expected to return to Naples, but he was nowhere to be found this week.Napoli are reportedly very unhappy with their striker’s decision, and disciplinary action could follow.(La Repubblica… pic.twitter.com/DykTfBNcMH— Absolute Belgian Fans 🇧🇪 (@BelgianFans) March 26, 2026 Lukaku was injured before the ..
