Podcast appearances and mentions of Carlos Queiroz

"There's nothing left with Carlos Queiroz. He's only known for defensive football, so there's no need we renew his contract." — Kingsley Owusu Achau, President of Bechem United

Carlos Queiroz has shown progress in a short time and should be given the opportunity to continue as Black Stars head coach." —Samuel Nana Brew-Butler, Former GFA President

"Carlos Queiroz should never be considered for the Black Stars job again. He's known for his defensive style of coaching, and that's all he brings. There's a reason he has been sacked in almost every country he's coached." - Countryman Songo

Black Stars head coach, Carlos Queiroz, is reported to have issued an emotional farewell statement following his stint with the national team. In the message, he reflects on his time with the Black Stars and calls for long-term structural reforms in Ghana's football development system

Carlos Queiroz clearly had more confidence in Ati-Zigi than Benjamin Asare. But given Ati-Zigi's injury, Benjamin Asare should have been given the nod in goal against Colombia. ~ Senior Owusu Bempeh, Senior Sports Journalist

Ghana need more than defensive approach to succeed in the knockout stage — Countryman Songo tells Carlos Queiroz

Ben Stokes announced his retirement to the England team before the morning session of the final test v New Zealand... with the crowd chanting his name as news spread around Trent Bridge in the afternoon, he takes a wicket with the very next ball. Incredible theatre, pure Ben Stokes?After the seismic news for English cricket, how much blame lies with the ECB? Should we just pause to reflect on Stokes's impact? and what next?

But does the achievements of Cabo Verde, DR Congo and many more, serve to prove him wrong? Former Premier League defender Nedum Onouha also joins.

Linee Mondiali - Episodio 12 Gruppo L - Inghilterra, Croazia, Ghana e Panama L'Inghilterra è una delle grandi nazionali del calcio mondiale, sempre tra le più forti competitive, ma la sua unica vittoria rimane quella del 1966, ottenuta in casa e con un gol fantasma. Ogni edizione della Coppa del Mondo ci si chiede se sarà la volta buona perché possa vincere. Politicamente ed economicamente il paese è molto condizionato dalla Brexit, che ha reso più complessa sotto tanti punti di vista la vita dei sudditi di Sua Maestà. Durante il Mondiale è cambiato ancora il Primo Ministro: è la settima volta in dieci anni che questo accade. La Crozia è una delle grandi storie del calcio: un paese piccolo, di appena 4 milioni abitanti, indipendente dal 1991, che ha giocato una finale e due semifinali mondiali dal 1998 in poi. La squadra è ancora guidata da quarantenne Luka Modric. Economicamente è un paese che si basa soprattutto sul turismo, con una buona stabilità politica. Il Ghana è uno dei paesi più tranquilli dell'Africa Occidentale, con molte risorse minerarie, ma dove la popolazione vive ancora in grosse parti del paese in povertà. Al Mondiale hanno sfiorato la semifinale nel 2010, perdendo ai rigori con l'Uruguay per la famosa "parata" di Luis Suarez. L'allenatore è Carlos Queiroz, al suo quinto mondiale consecutivo in carriera. Panama è sopratutto il Paese del Canale, tra i più importanti del mondo e che ne determina non solo la politica e l'economia, ma quasi interamente l'identità. La squadra è mediocre ma orgogliosa. ------------------------------------------------------------------ Segui Linee anche su ⁠Instagram⁠ e ⁠TikTok⁠! ⁠Questo è il sito ufficiale⁠ Questo il canale ⁠Youtube⁠ Il LINK per iscriverti alla newsletter è ⁠QUESTO ⁠ ⁠QUI⁠ il link al questionario per aiutare Linee a migliorare  Learn more about your ad choices.

Carlos Queiroz is a naturally defensive-minded coach, and I don't blame him. He has only been with the team for a short time. But as the tournament progresses, we need to show more attacking intent.” — Ntow Gyan, former Black Stars player.

Welcome back to World Cup Daily #23. Round 13 of the World Cup 2026 is officially in the books! Today, Shaq and James Tolando team up to dissect a chaotic slate of matches across the USA, where the eternal global rivalry just added a brand-new blockbuster chapter.We break down all the matches, historic stats, and unfiltered drama:CR7: Just 24 hours after Messi claimed the goalscoring spotlight, Cristiano Ronaldo answers back by becoming the first player in football history to score in six different World Cups. Portugal crushes Uzbekistan 5-0 following a lethal brace from CR7, a stunning direct free-kick from Nuno Mendes, and a late rocket from Rafael Leão. We look at how Roberto Martínez found tactical balance by benching Bernardo Silva.Tuchel's Low Block Crisis: England completely dominated the match with 78.8% possession—the most recorded by any team without scoring since data tracking began in 1966—but ended up dropping points in a frustrating 0-0 draw against Ghana. We dissect Harry Kane's absolute open-goal nightmare miss in the 87th minute and address the hilarious 'witch doctor curse' trending all over social media.The Queiroz Brick Wall: Massive credit to Carlos Queiroz. Ghana set up a brutal, highly physical low block that completely paralyzed the Three Lions' attacking channels. We discuss Mark Guéhi breaking records with 126 passes and look at how England struggled to find space behind enemy lines.The Old Dogs Fight Back: Croatia keeps their World Cup survival hopes alive after a grueling 1-1 battle against Panama. The ultimate hero? 34-year-old second-division substitute Ante Budimir comes off the bench to become Croatia's oldest-ever World Cup goalscorer, while Dominik Livaković pulls off massive late saves.☕ Buy Me A Coffee: Recording across these slumping American time zones is an absolute grind!

After watching England's draw with Ghana at a local bar in West Hollywood, Rio is joined by Ste Howson and Joel Beya to look at what England needed to break down an organised defence.There's praise for Rio's former assistant manager at Manchester United, Carlos Queiroz, who led the Ghanaian side and Rio reveals his former team mates were reminded of Queiroz's coaching sessions during his time at Old Trafford.And after Cristiano Ronaldo's 2 goals - Rio also has a bone to pick with both of his co-hosts who seemingly wrote off the prospect of Ronaldo performing and leading Portugal to the latter stages of the tournament.The trio debate whether it's time for Thomas Tuchel to start Bukayo Saka and Marcus Rashford who both made positive impacts off the bench for the second match in a row and Ste details why England's tactics were frustating to watch.Brought to you in partnership with Airbnb. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Cristiano Ronaldo became the first player to score at six different World Cups, netting twice as Portugal beat Uzbekistan 5-0 in Houston. He had gone 10 major tournament matches without a goal before scoring twice in one night. Portugal now have four points in Group K, with Colombia top on six after beating DR Congo 1-0 to seal their place in the last 32. England were held to a goalless draw by Ghana, with no shots on target in the first half and refereeing controversy in the second. Ghana manager Carlos Queiroz was furious about two penalty appeals that were waved away, while Harry Kane fired over from eight yards to spurn England's best chance. Both teams have four points going into their final group matches. Croatia kept their campaign alive with a 1-0 win over Panama as Luka Modric won his 200th cap. Panama are out. Tonight, Qatar face Bosnia at 11pm in a must-win match to stay in the tournament. Morocco face Haiti at 2am needing a result to qualify from Group C, but they will have an eye on Brazil's match against Scotland, which kick offs simultaneously. First place in Group B is also on the line, with Canada and Switzerland level on four points. Mina Rzouki presents Trending Middle East's World Cup round-up, a daily bonus series from The National for the duration of the tournament.

Le Mondial 2026 est enfin lancé et la RD Congo

Ghana head coach Carlos Queiroz has praised his players' resilience and intelligence after they secured a dramatic 1-0 victory over Panama in their opening match of the 2026 FIFA World Cup

Austin and Amit add their opinions to the growing Cristiano Ronaldo discourse after his lackluster performance in Portugal's 1-1 draw with DR Congo. Then, the guys look at an impressive England win over Croatia, plus a good showing from Colombia against Uzbekistan, and a Carlos Queiroz performance for the ages from Ghana. Plus, could Queiroz and Gustavo Alfaro star in a Prestige re-make?

Carlos Queiroz should be prepared for massive backlash if the Black Stars fail to deliver at the World Cup. Ghanaians demand results, not effort. - Countryman Songo

Austin and Amit preview Group L, starting with the question on everyone's lips this June: Is it coming home? After tackling an in-depth look at Tommy Tuchel's tactical approach for England, the guys try and decipher if Croatia can somehow surprise again. From there, it's on to Ghana, now managed by Carlos Queiroz in a bit of an oil and water combination, before finishing with an analysis of Panama's long-term Thomas Christiansen-led project.

Ghana ended a run of five straight defeats with a 1-1 draw against Wales at the Cardiff City Stadium. In his first match as Black Stars head coach, Carlos Queiroz saw his side show improved signs, especially in the second half. Substitute Caleb Yirenkyi gave Ghana the lead before Wales equalised late on, extending the Black Stars' winless run. After the game, Queiroz assessed his team's performance as preparations continue toward the 2026 FIFA World Cup

Ghana head coach Carlos Queiroz has moved to reassure supporters following the injury setback to Alexander Djiku, insisting the Black Stars remain prepared despite losing one of their most experienced defenders ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

Black Stars head coach Carlos Queiroz has admitted feeling the pressure as he leads Ghana into the upcoming FIFA World Cup, acknowledging the high expectations surrounding the team

Carlos Queiroz is dodging the Black Stars' Mexico friendlies to avoid Ghanaian scrutiny of his tactics. But all this will soon be tested in the Black Stars' next friendly against Wales — Countryman Songo.

There are high expectations for the Black Stars ahead of the World Cup, and we need players with high intensity, commitment, and the ability to deliver on the big stage — Countryman Songo charges Carlos Queiroz.

Black Stars head coach Carlos Queiroz has thrown down a hard-edged challenge to Ghana's players, officials and supporters ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup, warning that talent and ambition alone will count for nothing unless the Black Stars embrace sacrifice, discipline and collective responsibility.

Black Stars head coach Carlos Queiroz is expected to unveil Ghana's provisional squad later this week as preparations intensify for the 2026 FIFA World Cup

“There's nothing extraordinary about Carlos Queiroz. Some of us are just remaining calm because of the Black Stars' World Cup ambition. So stop the cap and boo stories and make his salary public so everyone is fully informed. Why should it be revealed later?” — Countryman Songo blasts Sports Minister Kofi Adams.

One-on-One with Kofi Adams, Minister for Sports and Recreation: “Carlos Queiroz is not on a $100,000-a-month salary, as widely quoted. His actual salary and full details will be revealed before the World Cup.”

“We anticipate Black Stars making the World Cup semis; we trust in your pedigree and years of experience in the game to deliver." - Countryman Songo tells Carlos Queiroz.

Listen to their takes...

Newly appointed Black Stars head coach, Carlos Queiroz, has been officially presented to the Minister of Sports and Recreation, Hon. Kofi Adams, in Accra ahead of his unveiling. With a short-term mandate, Queiroz is tasked with leading Ghana to success at the upcoming World Cup in North America, describing his appointment as an honour and a privilege

“Ghanaians anticipate that you will work magic with the Black Stars. With your pedigree, we want you to take the team to the semi-finals of the World Cup. We have invested too much into this team, and the country wants to see you deliver.” - Countryman Songo to Black Stars head coach Carlos Queiroz

Former Orlando Pirates coach Roger De Sa has reportedly agreed a deal to join Carlos Queiroz as assistant coach of the Ghana national football team ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup

This week we have our thoughts on Carlos Queiroz becoming new Ghana coach ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup – will it work?We wrap up the action from the CAF African Schools Football Championship, held in Zimbabwe.Also we take a look at football in Libya, with Aliou Cisse stepping down as Libya national team coach, while highly-rated South African Rhulani Mokoena has been appointed coach of top Libyan club Al Ittihaad.And lots on the EPL and the Uefa Champions League, as Nigeria forward Ademola Lookman scored the goal that won the quarter-final tie for Atletico Madrid against Barcelona.

In the history of Ghanaian football, Carlos Queiroz is one of the most high-profile coaches we have ever had. The FA and the Sports Ministry have made a good appointment. - Richmond Opoku Afriyie, Sports Journalist.

It's not about reputation or pedigree... Black Stars' new coach Carlos Queiroz must deliver results or come under scrutiny. His past glory is none of our business. - Countryman Songo

Adam Hurrey is joined on the midweek Adjudication Panel by Charlie Eccleshare and David Walker. On the agenda: the imminent demise of the iconic Champions League match ball, Carlos Queiroz's highly logical new job, highly obscure football in the background of US crime dramas, worrying gaps appearing in the Premier League Archive, referees in the media, Jorge Mendes-backed dentists and the happy self-employment of Richard Keys.

O Arsenal perdeu três dos últimos quatro jogos e abriu a porta para o Manchester City, que foi a Stamford Bridge e destruiu o Chelsea. No domingo, os Gunners jogam o jogo mais importante que têm em 22 anos de jejum — e a torcida do City já está com a garrafinha na mão. Falamos também sobre o Bayern batendo o recorde de gols da Bundesliga, o Barcelona abrindo nove pontos no Espanhol e a Inter fazendo o mesmo na Itália — além do Tottenham, que entrou na zona de rebaixamento.

Há quase um mês que somos bombardeados com imagens de guerra e destruição com a estética de videojogo. Explosões filmadas por drones, gráficos de mísseis, comunicados triunfalistas. Mas por trás das imagens há um país de noventa milhões de pessoas, uma orgulhosa civilização com cinco milénios e um conflito que não começou há três semanas. Está latente há quase cinco décadas, desde que uma revolução islâmica derrubou uma monarquia sustentada pelos Estados Unidos – que por sua vez tinha derrubado uma democracia de Mossadegh que beliscou os interesses ocidentais. Património da UNESCO, agora parcialmente destruído pelos mísseis, o Palácio Chehel Sotoun, tem um fresco que retrata a batalha de Chaldiran, em 1514. Celebra uma derrota. Na cultura xiita o martírio não é sinal de fraqueza. O regime colegial iraniano não é tão fácil de decapitar como o de Saddam e assenta numa ideia de resistência ao exterior. Não tem a arma nuclear, mas tem o Estreito de Ormuz. Faz mossa aos Estados Unidos, nem tanto a Israel. E este desencontro pode complicar o fim desta guerra. O convidado é Ricardo Alexandre, editor da TSF, onde apresenta o Estado do Sítio e o Mapa Mundo. Doutorado em Ciência Política pelo ISCTE, com reportagem de guerra nos Balcãs, Palestina, Afeganistão e Irão, esteve no país em 2005 e 2015 e acaba de publicar Tudo Sobre o Irão, um impressionante retrato de 448 páginas que vai da história dos velhos reinos persas à morte de Khamenei, da análise do sistema político iraniano até à influência cultural do futebol nesse país e da figura de Carlos Queiroz.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
