Osimhen Seeks More Goals as Nigeria Chase World Cup Qualification

Nigeria’s prolific striker Victor Osimhen is aiming for more goals as the Super Eagles prepare to face DR Congo in a decisive World Cup qualifying play-off in Rabat on Sunday. Having scored twice in extra time against Gabon for a 4-1 win in the semi-finals, Osimhen stands as a key figure as Nigeria fights for survival in the qualification race. The winner of this play-off advances to a six-nation intercontinental tournament in Mexico next March, keeping hopes alive for the 2026 World Cup. Osimhen, the 2023 African Player of the Year, has led Nigeria with a recent hat-trick against Benin and numerous crucial goals throughout the campaign.

Mbappe to Miss France’s Qualifier Against Azerbaijan Due to Ankle Injury

France captain Kylian Mbappe has been ruled out of Sunday’s World Cup qualifier against Azerbaijan due to inflammation in his right ankle, the French Football Federation (FFF) announced. The 26-year-old Real Madrid attacker scored twice in Thursday’s 4-0 victory over Ukraine, which secured France’s place at the 2026 World Cup finals in North America, but now requires further medical tests in Madrid. France coach Didier Deschamps will also miss Eduardo Camavinga and suspended Manu Kone, further depleting his squad for the campaign’s final Group D game in Baku. Thursday’s match saw a minute’s silence to remember the victims of the 2015 Paris attacks. Mbappe, who coolly converted a penalty and added a second goal, inspired France’s dominant win, with Michael Olise and Hugo Ekitike also scoring. France, winners in 2018 and runners-up in 2022, lead Group D with an insurmountable […]

Ronaldo Sent Off as Ireland Stun Portugal in World Cup Qualifier

Portugal suffered a shock 2-0 defeat to Ireland in their 2026 World Cup qualifier, with superstar Cristiano Ronaldo receiving a red card for elbowing Dara O’Shea. Ireland’s Troy Parrott scored both goals in the first half, giving the hosts a famous victory and keeping their World Cup hopes alive. Ronaldo, frustrated as Portugal chased the game, was sent off after a VAR review in the second half. Portugal remain top of Group F with 10 points, two ahead of Hungary and three in front of Ireland. With one qualifier left, Portugal still control their fate for automatic World Cup qualification. Parrott described the win as his “best night ever,” while Portugal lamented missed opportunities and costly discipline. Ronaldo’s dismissal, his first for Portugal, could see him miss the start of the World Cup if his ban is upheld. Ireland defended […]
