Liverpool chasing Top 4 without Salah

On the day when Graeme Souness, a Liverpool FC legend, stated that the main reason for the Reds’ struggles this season is the sharp decline in Mohamed Salah’s form, news arrived that the Egyptian has picked up an injury. As a result, the English champions will be without their talisman and top scorer from last and previous seasons for the away match against Brighton & Hove Albion at the Amex. Just when it seemed Salah had rediscovered his form—scoring in the Champions League round of 16 second leg against Galatasaray (4–0), his 10th goal of the season—he will now have to undergo rehabilitation.Mohamed Salah ❤️ Anfield ⚽ 140 goals 🅰️ 61 assists pic.twitter.com/nDI8fU8E1o— Match of the Day (@BBCMOTD) March 18, 2026 The good news for Liverpool is that he could return after the international break.“Mo won’t be able to play.

Argentina to play two African countries

Argentina will still have time to test itself ahead of the World Cup, but it’s hard to imagine a better opportunity than the now-cancelled clash with Spain national football team. Instead of facing the reigning European champions, the world champions will take on Mauritania national football team on March 27 at La Bombonera. Because the Finalissima was postponed too late—just two weeks before it was supposed to be played—both teams had limited options for replacement opponents. Spain managed quite well, arranging friendlies against Serbia national football team and Egypt national football team. Argentina, however, had far fewer choices and ultimately accepted a match against a clearly weaker opponent.AMISTOSO CONFIRMADO DE LA SELECCIÓN ARGENTINA.🇦🇷 ARGENTINA – MAURITANIA 🇲🇷 🗓️ 27 de Marzo de 2026.🏟️ La Bombonera. pic.twitter.com/r58pyCEmUE— Info Argentino (@GonzaLog84251) March 20, 2026 Mauritania currently sits 115th in the FIFA rankings, and their last win came against Togo national ..

FALSE 10: You are an embarrassment

After the first leg of the Round of 16 Champions League games (March 10/11th) the English public was shocked. None of the six clubs in the competition won in the first game! What is worse, three of them suffered heavy defeats (Chelsea, Tottenham, Manchester City) and one was expected to lose in the return leg anyway (Newcastle), while Arsenal and Liverpool were expected to go through. Eventually, it happened like that this week and only the Reds and the Gunners went through to the quarter-finals. Others lost their ties with a combined aggregate score 28-11! A big blow for the ‘best league in the world’, which also gets the most money for TV rights of all other Top 5 leagues. Not to mention that the wealthiest owners are in the Premier League, and that the biggest transfers happen in England every season. So, what is the problem then? Why are the clubs from the best league so awful?🚨Money spent in the last 13 seasons5- Ligue 1: 8.5 Billion4- Bundesliga: 8.6 Billion3- La Liga: 9.2 Billio..
