The United States women's national team entered a new era in 2024, with Emma Hayes making an immediate impact on a group in need of exactly that. Within weeks of starting her new job, the former Chelsea boss guided the U.S. to Olympic gold, sending a message to the rest of the women's game as a new World Cup cycle begins.

The four-time world champion suffered its earliest Women's World Cup exit in Australia in 2023 and Vlatko Andonovski left his role as head coach as a result. It's been a delight for the nation to see the team return to a title-winning level so soon, then. Now, with plenty of time until the next major tournament, the 2027 Women's World Cup, Hayes can focus on developing this exciting young generation of players, ensuring they are ready to challenge for the World Cup.

GOAL has everything you need to know about the USWNT's schedule, its fixtures and results and how to watch the team in 2026…

ImagnWhat fixtures has the USWNT had in 2025?

The USWNT's first fixtures of 2025 came at the SheBelieves Cup, where it won twice but was ultimately beaten to the trophy by an impressive Japan team in a tournament that also featured Australia and Colombia. In April, Hayes' side took on another top international side when it welcomed Brazil for a double-header and two rematches of the 2024 Olympic final. The wins were split, there.

The U.S. continued has continued its winning into the summer months, with China, Jamaica, Ireland and Canada all beaten in recent outings.

The USWNT has five fixtures on its schedule for the remainder of the year, with a double-header against Portugal set to take place in late October before a clash with New Zealand follows. Hayes' side will then take on Italy in two friendlies in the last international break of 2025.

How to watch the USWNT in 2025

The rights to broadcast the USWNT are the same as the men’s team and are split across several networks. For English-speaking viewers, the rights are held by Warner Bros and Discovery Sports, with every game live on Peacock and Max (formerly HBO Max). Approximately 50 per cent of games are also shown live across the TNT Sports channels.

Turner channels are available through streaming services like Sling TV and DirecTV Stream.

Getty ImagesWhat is on the USWNT's schedule in 2026?

U.S. Soccer has already announced one fixture for the USWNT in 2026, that which will see the reigning Olympic champion take on Paraguay during its January training camp. Five official international breaks will follow that fixture, including the November window in which the U.S. will participate in the CONCACAF W Championship. The top four teams in that tournament will qualify for the 2027 Women's World Cup, with two more places in the intercontinental play-off tournament also up for grabs.

Danny Röhl has made an encouraging start to life as Rangers manager, but there is still plenty of work to do.

Last Sunday’s 3-0 drubbing of Dundee makes it three Premiership victories out of three for the German, likely to maintain that perfect record when bottom-of-the-table Livingston visit Ibrox after the international break.

However, the Gers remain rock bottom of the Europa League table without a point to their name, beaten by both Sturm Graz and Roma under Röhl, while also dumped out of the League Cup in the semi-finals by Celtic, albeit Thelo Aasgaard’s red card at Hampden did not help their cause.

So, having inherited a complete mess, Röhl is still figuring out which plays he can rely on as well as who he wants to build around for the future.

Jack Butland, James Tavernier, John Souttar and Nicolas Raskin have quickly established themselves as key figures, with the new manager showing faith in expensive new striker Youssef Chermiti too.

However, other players are not seeing as much game time as they may have anticipated, so is one summer signing in danger of becoming the club’s latest Óscar Cortés?

Óscar Cortés: Rangers transfer bust

One of Rangers’ 14 summer signings, officially at least, Cortés was one, albeit he’d been with the club since 1 February 2024 on loan.

Despite making little impact in Glasgow, the Colombian’s move from Lens was made permanent for £4.5m, due to a pre-agreed obligation to buy.

At the time of his arrival, Rangers supporters were very excited, considering Cortés had starred at the 2023 U20 World Cup, scoring four goals and registering two assists for Colombia, awarded the tournament’s Bronze Ball.

Scout António Mango thereby labelled him an “insane talent”, while the Rangers Journal forecast that he would “provide pace, power and… goal contributions” to Rangers’ forward line, which certainly has not been the case thus far.

In just 21 appearances to date, 764 minutes, he has scored only one goal for the Gers, missing 58 matches entirely, the majority of which have been due to injury.

Thus, he was sent out on loan to Sporting Gijón on deadline day, but is yet to do very much in the Segunda División either, as his market value continues to diminish at a rapid rate.

So now, which current Rangers forward could follow a similar path if he continues to be under-utilised by Röhl?

Rangers star becoming Cortés repeat

They say that first impressions are the most important, and Oliver Antman certainly made a good one at Rangers.

The Finnish forward joined from Go Ahead Eagles for a reported fee of £3.5m, thrown straight into Champions League qualifying action.

Less than 24 hours after landing in Glasgow, Antman put in a man of the match performance as Rangers demolished Viktoria Plzeň 3-0, providing two assists and playing a starring role in, by some distance, the club’s best performance of the ill-fated Russell Martin era.

Considering the forward’s performances in the Netherlands last season, his signature was viewed as a major coup, as the table below documents.

As the table documents, Antman was one of the most creative players in the Eredivisie last season, racking up 15 assists as well as ranking first for expected assists and big chances created.

This is made all the more impressive by the fact he was not playing for one of the Netherlands’ traditional powerhouses, his Go Ahead Eagles team ending up seventh, albeit they did win the KNVB Beker for the very first time, defeating AZ Alkmaar on penalties, with Antman starting the final victory at De Kuip.

Jacek Kulig of Football Talent Scout was certainly impressed, labelling him “creative” while, upon his arrival, sporting director Kevin Thelwell described him as an “exciting talent” who boasts “great technical ability”.

However, following that promising start to life at Rangers, Antman has not lived up to expectations, registering just a solitary assist since his blistering debut, yet to score for his new club.

Furthermore, since starting Röhl’s first match as manager against Brann, Antman has been an unused substitute on three occasions, coming off the bench against Celtic and Dundee, but making very little impact.

In the German’s 3-4-3 formation too, there is one fewer attacking position up for grabs, very much currently behind Chermiti, Danilo, Djeidi Gassama, Mikey Moore, all of whom have scored in recent matches, and others in the pecking order.

Antman is clearly a quality player, he’s already shown glimpses of this in a Rangers jersey, and unlike Cortés, availability is not a huge barrier to him featuring in matches.

Nevertheless, the Finn is seemingly currently not in Röhl’s plans, so a January loan is very much not out of the question, and he is in danger of becoming the latest big-money signing to disappear out of Ibrox without a trace.

Ferguson 2.0: Rangers' "best player" is now more important than Tavernier

Rangers’ “best player” who is reminiscent of Barry Ferguson has emerged under Danny Röhl and it is not captain James Tavernier.

Leeds United travel away from West Yorkshire and Elland Road to face Brighton & Hove Albion in the Premier League this afternoon.

The Whites are looking to win back-to-back matches in the Premier League for the first time this season, after they beat West Ham United in their last outing.

Daniel Farke’s side won, thanks to goals from Brenden Aaronson and Joe Rodon, and Anton Stach did not play a single minute of the match at Elland Road.

Why Leeds should unleash Anton Stach

Despite beating the Hammers, Leeds can improve on their performance from last time out because they failed to put the game out of sight for the away side, which led to a nervy ending when they pulled a goal back.

After Rodon’s goal, the Whites did not create a single chance that was worth more than 0.14 xG, per Sofascore, and they allowed West Ham to get back into the game, albeit they were able to hang on for all three points.

Stach, who did not get on the pitch, has proven that he can provide a threat at the top end of the pitch from a midfield position, with one goal, 1.8 key passes per game, and two ‘big chances’ created in eight appearances, per Sofascore.

The summer signing from Hoffenheim has shown that he can be a difference-maker with his individual quality, which could help Leeds to capitalise on a shaky Brighton defence that has conceded 15 goals in the Premier League.

Chalkboard

Football FanCast’s Chalkboard series presents a tactical discussion from around the global game.

In order to bring Stach into the starting line-up, though, Farke would have to ruthlessly ditch Ao Tanaka, whose performances he has recently defended.

Why Leeds should drop Ao Tanaka

After the win over West Ham, the Japan international stated that he is “not good enough at the moment” and that he will be using these experiences to improve as a player.

Asked about Tanaka’s honest admission, Farke said: “He had a really good start to the season with us. I didn’t expect him to be man of the match [vs West Ham], being in his first match after injury back in the starting line up, but I think he was quite solid and showed a really, really good performance.”

In spite of his defence of the central midfielder’s comments and performance, the German head coach should drop the midfield maestro from the XI because Stach may be able to offer more quality against Brighton.

As you can see in the table above, Tanaka has struggled to influence games in the Premier League this season, as he has offered little in the final third whilst being dominated by opposition players physically.

The Japanese midfielder is seemingly still adjusting to the step up from the Championship, which is understandable, but Stach has shown that he can make an impact offensively and hold his own defensively in his eight starts in the division.

Given Brighton’s defensive struggles this season, conceding 15 goals in nine games, it could be the right time to bring the German central midfielder back into the starting line-up to give the Whites the best chance of causing their defence problems.

Therefore, Farke should ruthlessly drop Tanaka from the XI, despite his defence of the midfielder’s display against West Ham, because it may improve the team’s chances of winning this afternoon, given the context of the opposition.

Na sequência, Belmonte destacou que o time deverá procurar um novo centroavante. Mesmo com Calleri vivendo ótimo momento, o São Paulo entende a necessidade de contratar um reserva para encorpar o elenco e disputar posição com o argentino.

Pato era outro cotado para a vaga, porém, também mostrou dificuldades para se adaptar ao estilo de Dorival e foi pouco utilizado desde que chegou, em maio deste ano.

Harry Brook celebrates his fifty•AFP/Getty Images

Harry Brook made India pay for their profligacy at Headingley, as England shaded the first session on the third day. Brook miscued an ugly pull to midwicket in the final over last night only to be reprieved when the third umpire spotted Jasprit Bumrah had overstepped, and got another life on 46 when Rishabh Pant failed to gather a chance off Ravindra Jadeja.But Brook put India under sustained pressure from the outset, cutting Prasidh Krishna for four then pulling him over midwicket for six in the first over on Sunday morning. He reached a 65-ball half-century shortly before lunch with a single to long-on, marking his second fifty in three innings at his home ground in his maiden Test against India.India’s seamers generally bowled with more control than they had on the second day, with Mohammed Siraj particularly impressive. Ollie Pope added only six runs to his unbeaten 100 before edging behind off Prasidh, and Siraj had Stokes caught behind to end a scratchy innings of 20 off 52 balls, prompting him to throw his bat in the air in frustration.Jadeja wheeled away from the Football Stand End, allowing the seamers to run down the hill, and could easily have had a wicket: Pant failed to gather when Brook feathered behind on 46, and Jamie Smith’s inside edge narrowly evaded Sai Sudharsan at forward short leg.Bumrah bowled six overs across two spells, the second after the ball had gone out of shape and was replaced, but failed to add to the three wickets he had taken on Saturday. He will have another opportunity with the second new ball this afternoon.

Glasgow Rangers officially confirmed the departure of head coach Russell Martin on Sunday night after the Ibrox side failed to win for a sixth time in seven Scottish Premiership matches.

The former Scotland international only won five of his 17 matches in charge of Rangers, losing six times, and departs with the the Light Blues sat eighth in the league table.

Martin simply did not get enough wins on the board to win the Ibrox crowd over during his short tenure in Glasgow, which left the club to make a decision this early into the season.

Title-winning manager keen on Rangers job

The attention now turns to his successor. Kevin Thelwell and Patrick Stewart must find a manager who is a better fit at Ibrox to get the season back on track.

Manager Focus

Who are the greatest coaches in the land? Football FanCast’s Manager Focus series aims to reveal all.

According to Football Insider, Steven Gerrard would jump at the chance to make a ‘sensational’ return to Glasgow to manage Rangers for a second time.

The report claims that the Light Blues will discuss a potential move for the out-of-work English manager when they sit down to identify a long-term replacement for Martin.

It adds that Gerrard is one of the ‘leading’ candidates for the job at this moment in time, although the outlet does not name any of the other contenders for the role.

Stewart and Thelwell could win the fans back over and get Ibrox rocking again by swooping to bring the Liverpool legend back to the club for a second stint in the dugout.

Why Steven Gerrard would get Ibrox rocking again

Rangers welcome Dundee United to Ibrox in the Premiership in the first match after the international break and the home crowd could be rocking for that clash if they see Gerrard back on the sidelines.

It could be a hero’s welcome for the English tactician around four years on from his move to Aston Villa from the Gers, which came after an incredibly successful time on the pitch.

He is, after all, a title-winner for the Light Blues. No manager has won the Premiership title for the club since he lifted the trophy at the end of the 2020/21 campaign. Giovanni van Bronckhorst, Michael Beale, Philippe Clement, Barry Ferguson, and Russell Martin all failed where he succeeded.

As you can see in the table above, Gerrard’s last 50 matches in charge of the Gers in the league were almost faultless, losing one game, as he turned the Gers into a winning machine.

The former Villa boss, once dubbed “amazing” by Glen Johnson, knows what Rangers are all about, he knows what the supporters want to see, and he knows how to win the Premiership.

Gerrard is the closest thing that the Light Blues can get to a proven manager, given his success at the club before, and that is why he could be the safest option for Stewart and Thelwell to bring in.

It is also why the club could get Ibrox rocking again for that clash with Dundee United after the international break because the fans know that he is a proven tactician who can get the team back on track, and may support and cheer for him accordingly.

He's like Mourinho: 54-year-old manager wants to replace Martin at Rangers

Russell Martin’s job as Rangers manager is no more, so who could be his replacement?

ByMatt Dawson Oct 6, 2025

Now that we have some distance from the transfer window, it would be fair to say Arsenal did some brilliant business.

The Gunners have improved Mikel Arteta’s backline options, brought in a new striker and bolstered the wide options.

However, arguably the most exciting deal the club pulled off was the signing of Eberechi Eze, who could add goals and assists from out wide or attacking midfield.

The Englishman has been given the number ten shirt to reflect his importance to the project, although while he’ll likely enjoy a stellar career with Arsenal, the club are already brewing the player who’ll one day take that famous number from him.

Arsenal's recent tens

So with Eze being Arsenal’s new number ten, it’s worth looking back at the last three players to have that honour, starting with the man who had it before the summer signing: Emile Smith Rowe.

Chalkboard

Football FanCast’s Chalkboard series presents a tactical discussion from around the global game.

Expand Collapse

The former Gunners star is a Hale End graduate who made his first appearance for the club back in the 18/19 season, but really came to prominence alongside Saka in the 20/21 and 21/22 seasons, when the club finally started to pull themselves out of years of decline.

The Croydon-born fan favourite was handed the covered shirt number in the summer of 2022, when he put pen to paper, but due to injuries and the team’s subsequent development, he was unable to make much of it, eventually leaving for Fulham last summer.

The player who wore the number before him was the utterly world-class Mesut Özil, who had it from July 2018 to his exit in January 2021.

While the end of his Arsenal career was less than ideal, the German international remains one of the greatest players to represent the club in the Emirates era, racking up a sensational haul of 44 goals and 77 assists in 254 games.

Lastly, the player to have the shirt prior to the World Cup winner was boyhood fan Jack Wilshere.

At one point, the Englishman was looked at as one of the most exciting talents in the country, but a non-stop slew of injuries utterly derailed his career, and by the time he left the club in 2018, he had amassed 197 appearances, in which he scored 14 goals and provided 28 assists.

Overall, Arsenal have had some brilliant players wear the number ten for them over the years, and while Eze looks ready to do it proud, there is already an academy star who looks next in line.

The Arsenal gem who'll wear the ten after Eze

Given the stature of some of the players who have worn the ten for Arsenal and the ability someone would need to join them, it’ll probably come as no surprise that the youngster we are talking about is Max Dowman.

The Hale End superstar is still just 15 years old, but it is hard to think of another youngster from the club who has been spoken about in the same way he has been, and still is, not even Ethan Nwaneri.

For example, respected talent scout Jacek Kulig made the incredibly bold claim that the youngster is the “most exciting prospect” he has seen “since Lamine Yamal.”

That might sound ridiculous, but his number from last season – when he was still just 14 until New Year’s Eve – suggests it’s not, as in just 23 appearances, totalling 1945 minutes, he scored 19 goals and provided five assists.

In other words, the Chelmsford-born gem averaged 1.04 goal involvements per match, or one every 81.04 minutes, which is made all the more impressive when you consider those games were against U18 and U21 sides.

Moreover, it’s not just youth football where he’s making a splash now; he’s also impressed the senior team this year.

For example, in his first competitive game of adult football, which was also his Premier League debut, the teenage sensation made a mockery of Leeds United’s defence and ended up winning a penalty.

Then, as the team searched for an equaliser away to Liverpool, Arteta turned to the 15-year-old and not to his other, more senior options on the bench.

Finally, in the game last night, there was a moment in which he played an exceptional ball over the top of the Port Vale defence that Viktor Gyokeres really should have scored from.

In short, the Hale Ender looks to be the “insane” talent analyst Ben Mattinson claims he is, and while he has primarily played out wide for the senior side, much of his junior football has seen him play in midfield, in the ten position.

Ultimately, nobody is going to be taking Eze’s shirt from him for some time, but given his age and Dowmans, plus the rate at which he’s developing, there is every chance that the youngster will be Arsenal’s next number ten.

A “fantastic” former Chelsea manager would be interested in taking over from Graham Potter as West Ham United manager, a leading agent source has revealed.

Speculation over Potter's future continues despite victory over Forest

It would be fair to say West Ham have made a disappointing start to the campaign, and Potter was under intense pressure heading into his side’s trip to Nottingham Forest before the international break.

However, the Hammers came out fighting, picking up a shock 3-0 victory at The City Ground, which should provide the Englishman with a little while longer to put things right.

That said, it will not be easy, given that the Irons have a tough run of fixtures after the international break, taking on Tottenham Hotspur at home, before also facing Crystal Palace at the London Stadium, who are on a 14-game unbeaten run.

Why West Ham missed out on Mitrovic deal after late offer

He would have solved their attacking problems…

ByTom Cunningham Sep 7, 2025

As such, the West Ham hierarchy have already identified a number of potential options to replace Potter, with it recently being revealed that Jose Mourinho is one of the leading targets, while contact has been made with Coventry City boss Frank Lampard.

According to a new update from Hammers News, a leading agent source has revealed that Lampard would be interested in taking over from Potter at the London Stadium, should the job become available.

The former West Ham man would back himself to be a success in the role and win over the supporters, who he has always had a difficult relationship with, having left to join Chelsea when he was young.

That said, contrary to other reports, a spokesman has reportedly revealed there is no truth to the rumours that an approach has been made for the Coventry boss at this stage.

Lampard has done a "fantastic job" at Coventry

The former Chelsea boss has had a mixed managerial career up to this point, having been sacked by the Blues after failing to win a trophy, while also being dismissed by Everton, although he did manage to lead the Toffees to Premier League safety.

However, the 47-year-old has managed to impress in the Championship, leading Derby County to Wembley in the 2019 Championship play-off final, before also going on to reach the play-offs with the Sky Blues last season after a remarkable turnaround.

That said, given that the former Hammer has had limited success above the second tier, it would be a very questionable decision for West Ham to bring him in as a replacement for Potter.

Not only that, but Lampard burned his bridges with a lot of fans after moving to Chelsea, so it would be a divisive move from owners who are already under intense scrutiny.

Crystal Palace always have a keen eye on young talent and could be set to raid a Premier League rival to bring in an exciting gem for a minimal fee, according to Fabrizio Romano.

Crystal Palace continue to field Eberechi Eze interest

There is no secret about the fact that the Eagles have in-demand players on their books and speculation continues to mount surrounding the jewel in their crown this summer.

Arsenal are long-term admirers of Eberechi Eze and want to bring him to North London. In exchange, there may be potential for Crystal Palace to land defender Jakub Kiwior as a makeweight to shore up their defence.

Despite his goals, assists and flair making the England international the star of the show, he isn’t the only star that could leave Oliver Glasner searching for reinforcements, as speculation over Marc Guehi’s future is intensifying by the day.

Champions Liverpool are working to secure Guehi’s signature and the fact he has one year left on his contract in South London has posed a question to Steve Parish and company over whether to sell the Three Lions’ man while he retains value, something he admits will be hard to turn down if their valuation is met.

He stated: “We will just have to see what happens. It needs a new contract or a conclusion of some kind. It is a really tough one. We will do everything we can in the next few weeks to give ourselves the best chance. I am aware we are in four competitions this season. But the money we have is not infinite.”

While that storm continues to brew, in the meantime, Crystal Palace want to close in on a talented young midfielder who is also attracting interest from elsewhere.

Crystal Palace make contact to sign Arsenal's Dan Casey

According to Romano on X, Crystal Palace and Norwich City have made contact to try and sign out-of-contract Arsenal midfielder Dan Casey, who could move for a compensation package before the end of the window.

The youngster has a new deal on the table at the Emirates Stadium after a return of 20 goals at Under-18 level last term. Nevertheless, he is yet to sign, signalling he could up sticks for a minimal fee if the correct opportunity presents itself.

Labelled “really reliable” by Adam Birchall, the attacking midfielder can play in a variety of different positions, including centre-forward, on either flank or even as a deep-lying six when needed.

Crystal Palace have done some wonderful work over the years in nurturing young talent and the 17-year-old could well be the next in line to join their conveyor belt of exciting stars.

Newcastle United promised so much on their return to the Champions League but Marcus Rashford's moments of magic secured Barcelona a hard-fought 2-1 win. Eddie Howe's team got their tactics spot on for the majority of the contest but the Catalan outfit had that extra bit of quality, despite Anthony Gordon's late consolation strike.

The visitors headed into the contest with a remarkable streak of scoring in 40 games in a row but, for long periods, Newcastle looked like they would end that run as Anthony Gordon and Harvey Barnes went close for the Premier League outfit. 

However, the Magpies failed to take their chances and Manchester United loanee Marcus Rashford silenced the home fans in the 58th minute with a terrific header from Jules Kounde's cross. The 27-year-old then doubled the away team's lead with an unstoppable strike from just outside the box nine minutes later. 

Hopes of a late comeback were sparked when Gordon swept in Jacob Murphy's pinpoint delivery in the 90th minute but they ultimately fell to a narrow defeat in their Champions League opener.

Was solid enough but took a nasty blow to the head from a Rashford shot. The dazed defender was then outjumped by the England star, and he was taken off soon after.

Dan Burn (6/10):

The 6ft 7in centre-back didn't do a great deal wrong but maybe could have cleared the ball better before Rashford's second.

Tino Livramento (6/10):

Sometimes backed his pace a little bit too much as some sloppy touches let him down. However, the athletic full-back pulled off some crucial interceptions and covering tackles but Jules Kounde had him under wraps.

Bruno Guimaraes (7/10):

The Brazilian played a key role in giving Newcastle parity, and at times superiority, in midfield. Kept on huffing and puffing even though the battle was lost.

Sandro Tonali (6/10):

The powerful Italian had some good tussles in the centre of the park; he tested goalkeeper Joan Garcia, but his precision dropped off in the final quarter of the game.

Joelinton (6/10):

Wasn't quite at the level of Bruno and Tonali in the opening 45 but still put a good shift in for his team.

Anthony Elanga (8/10):

Much like his team-mates, he started like a house on fire. The Swede had Gerard Martin on toast, his pace was frightening to behold, and he nearly had two excellent first-half assists. Unlucky to get hooked around the hour mark.

Anthony Gordon (7/10):

The false nine missed a glorious chance from Elanga's superb cross early on but was still a livewire up front. Took his goal at the end with aplomb.

Harvey Barnes (6/10):

The former Leicester City man had a couple of good opportunities but couldn't covert them. In the end, that proved costly.

Malick Thiaw (6/10):

In with a shout of starting next time out after playing well following Schar's injury.

Jacob Murphy (7/10):

Was well managed for much of his outing but whipped in a delightful cross for Newcastle's late goal.

Nick Woltemade (5/10):

The big striker didn't do a great deal when he came on but Newcastle didn't play to his strengths.

Joe Willock (5/10):

Was relatively ineffective when introduced late on.

Sven Botman (6/10):

Looked composed off the bench.

Eddie Howe (6/10):

His team began at a ferocious pace, pressing Barcelona high up the pitch. The game plan was working well for nearly an hour, but Rashford's brilliance brace burst his bubble. His substitutes didn't do a great deal as Barca's goals rocked the Toon's composure. Still, this was largely a positive performance.
