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

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

“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

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.

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

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 Carlos Queiroz's big name; it's about results on the pitch. Ghana needs performance, not reputation. - Countryman Songo.

Ghanaians complain too much; Carlos Queiroz should be left alone to focus on his job. - Coach J.E. Sarpong.

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.

Ghanaians share thoughts on Black Stars' new coach, Carlos Queiroz.

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. No Giro: a Conmebol não esperou Infantino, o Union Berlim terá a primeira técnica mulher de uma grande liga masculina, os candidatos à eleição da federação italiana e Carlos Queiroz no comando de Gana.SEJA MEMBRO!

Carlos Queiroz needs no introduction given his track record, and every Ghanaian who has followed football over the past two years will agree with this appointment. - Sheikh Tophic Abdul Kadir, enior Communications Member, GFA

Executive Council of the Ghana Football Association, working with key stakeholders, has appointed Carlos Queiroz as head coach of the senior national team, the Black Stars

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.

Mariano Barreto é treinador de futebol, foi braço-direito de Carlos Queiroz e é o único português que foi descolonizado duas vezes – teve de fugir de Goa e depois de Moçambique.

Portugal foi campeão mundial de sub-20 pela segunda vez consecutiva em 1991. Carlos Queiroz estava ao leme de toda a formação da federação e os resultados continuaram a aparecer. Com João Pinto, Figo e Rui Costa em plano de destaque, havia muitos outros talentos promissores que acabaram por deixar a marca na história do futebol português. O legado eternizou-se e continua a resistir mesmo quando algumas das suas figuras, como Jorge Costa, começam a desaparecer. Neste episódio, o Nuno Madureira e o Rui Silva abordam o que fez desta equipa campeã, as diferenças para a equipa de 1989 e as pegadas que deixaram para as gerações seguintes.
