Welcome back to the Dr. Mary Travelbest Guide podcast. I returned from another 90-day journey around the world, and I'm excited to connect with fellow solo travelers, share experiences, and help build world peace, one person at a time. The FAQ is: Do you feel isolated as an American traveling now? I've been solo traveling quite a bit over the past year, and I've noticed a trend. There have been multiple times when people in a group have discussed where they're from and asked questions about each other's countries. And then it gets to me, and I say the US, and it goes silent until the conversation moves on to someone else. It happens in hostels and bars. In fact, I've had multiple times where I say I'm American and the person will just instantly walk away. I know my country has done awful things that have earned this reputation. It's just disappointing that it creates a slightly isolating feeling at first. Luckily, I've had experiences where people have been really friendly, and I hope to have more of those. Has anyone else had similar experiences? I want to make it clear to those from the United States that they should not let this discourage them. The majority of my interactions don't go this way. I'm posting because I've had repeated, small incidents in several countries and want to see if others have noticed a pattern. Even when they happen, they've never felt more than just passive-aggressive. 60-second confidence challenge Your challenge today, the Confidence Challenge in Johannesburg, is safety. If you like today's Confidence Challenge, my book series delves deeper into how to feel safe when you travel alone. I also discuss my safari in Kenya, part of East Africa. You may want to book a safari in South Africa and read the book as you move through the 5 steps to solo travel, from easy to more challenging, with tips on foreign-language communication. You can find the series at the link in the description. See Book A for addressing this concern. Find it on the website at https://www.5stepstosolotravel.com/ or on Amazon. It's a several-part series. Today's destination is Johannesburg, South Africa. Today, we're talking about Johannesburg, or "Joburg," a place that may not feel easy at first—but that's exactly why it matters. We will cover the Apartheid Museum, Soweto, Mandela, soccer, Maboneng, Rosebank, and Sandton. We'll also tell you about a good tour guide and how to get informed. Let's be clear: this is not a relaxed, wander-anywhere kind of destination. But if you approach it thoughtfully, it becomes one of the most eye-opening cultural experiences you can have. So let's walk through what's worth your time and what requires your attention. Johannesburg is not built for tourists—it's built from history. Gold mining in the 1800s created the city. Apartheid shaped it. And today, you feel both, everywhere. You'll notice: Stark contrasts between wealth and poverty Gated neighborhoods, security systems, and guarded homes Areas where the infrastructure feels inconsistent And if you're willing to see it clearly, this city teaches you something few others can. The Apartheid Museum If you are on a solo or group tour, start here. Not optional. The Apartheid Museum is one of the most powerful museums in the world. You don't just read history—you walk through it. Give yourself at least 2–3 hours. And be ready—it's emotionally heavy. Soweto + Mandela's Legacy Next, visit Soweto—short for "South Western Township." Soweto is where history becomes personal. Before your trip, if you can, read Mandela's book, The Long Walk to Freedom. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2304771/ Walk down Vilakazi Street—home to both Nobel Peace Prize winners from the area. Nelson Mandela Desmond Tutu Visit the Nelson Mandela House, now a museum. You'll see: Local life Street vendors Music, dancing, and community But go with a guide. Not optional. There were small fires in the neighborhoods along the roadside, and some traffic lights were not working. Be aware, but be ready to learn. Want to see a Soccer game while here? There are two teams you can watch at home games. Johannesburg-based Soweto giants Orlando Pirates play home games at Orlando Stadium, which the City of Johannesburg owns. While Carling Black Label has recently partnered with Kaizer Chiefs as a sponsor, the teams' major sponsors historically have included Vodacom and others. https://www.espn.com/espn/story/_/id/43608195/what-soweto-derby-why-kaizer-chiefs-orlando-pirates-south-africa-most-popular-teams Head to Maboneng, Johannesburg's creative district. Think: Street art Local designers Live music Markets like The Playground It's one of the few places where you can walk more freely—but still stay aware. Grab a meal, enjoy the vibe, but don't linger alone after dark. Now, let's visit Rosebank + Sandton (Modern Johannesburg) If you're wondering where things feel familiar—this is it. In Rosebank: Visit the arts and crafts market Browse local goods safely In Sandton: Upscale shopping Restaurants Hotels like Marriott Global brands like Apple and Nike It's polished—but don't confuse that with the whole city. A few dining places to consider: Pata Pata in Maboneng Salvation Café https://www.salvationcafe.co.za/ Looking for a travel guide in Johannesburg? Here's a suggestion. Beck N Coll. Benoni is Colleen Becker's hometown, just outside of Johannesburg. Her grown Son is Calvin. She's married to Glenn. "Beck n Coll "is their travel company name. Through other means,nsuch aske Servas and Host a Sister, they have had 70-plus guests so far. Help them by booking your trip with them. Here is the website for more info. This episode is not a sponsored post. They can book you on a safari tour as they are experts here. https://www.beckncoll.co.za/ https://www.instagram.com/hostasister/ Here is more on Host A Sister. It's a global Facebook community connecting women worldwide to share homes for free, fostering friendship, cultural exchange, and safe, budget-friendly travel. Members (women and non-binary individuals) offer accommodation, local meetups, and travel advice without monetary exchange, ensuring it remains a non-dating platform, and I used it here. I met Colleen through Servas, and she told me about Host a Sister, which I used later in my 90-day trip. Let's summarize and add value with my reality check: Not every place will feel intuitive or walkable—plan your stops. You'll hear "be careful," and you should question what that actually means. Here's the reality: Do not travel alone at night Use Uber or arrange drivers Stay in known areas (Sandton, Rosebank) Avoid spontaneous wandering Keep your phone out of sight in public But also, don't assume constant danger. Many travelers report no issues when they stay aware and structured, like me. This guidance is not fear-based travel. It's informed travel. Johannesburg is not about comfort. It's about understanding. You will see: Inequality Resilience Creativity My missteps: Wrong Airport in Johannesburg Travel Mistake to Avoid I should have booked Johannesburg's other airport from Cape Town. I didn't realize there were two airports, and I picked the cheaper one. I ended up on the wrong side of town and had to Uber from the airport to the train station. Then I got on the train and got to my destination. So, in the end, I did not save any money. Check the airport before you book Safari Air! Thanks for listening, and I'll see you on the next journey.

Stef and Daneel Steinmann couldn't buy the vintage Springbok jerseys they kept seeing around Stellenbosch in 2019, a Rugby World Cup year when green and gold were everywhere, so after roughly 100 emails they found a supplier and started their own brand, Old School SA. Six years on, Old School holds official partnerships and licences with the Springboks, Orlando Pirates, Kaizer Chiefs, Manchester City and the NBA, and operates branded stores across the country. With Bafana Bafana back at the Football World Cup for the first time in 16 years, Old School is now the official supporters' brand, and their Bafana kit has become so popular that, as Stef Steinmann puts it, “people are sleeping in their jerseys.” In an interview with BizNews, he reflects on their journey and the brother dynamic, how Daneel knocks on doors “making promises” while Stef makes sure those promises are kept, a balance that works. Daneel is already on the ground with Bafana Bafana in Mexico, where they played their first match, while Stef, delayed by a visa issue, is holding the fort in South Africa. What does he attribute their meteoric success to? Uniting people behind the teams they love, because people tend to remember who they were with during the big sporting moments more than the match itself. - Linda van Tilburg
« Je vous souhaite le meilleur » a déclaré le président sud-africain, Cyril Ramaphosa, aux Bafana Bafana. L'équipe nationale fait son retour en Coupe du monde après 16 ans d'absence. Les Jaune et Vert seront les premiers à s'élancer dans la compétition face au Mexique, lors du match d'ouverture du Mondial 2026 le 11 juin, jour déclaré férié dans le pays. Le sélectionneur Hugo Broos a annoncé, le 27 mai, les noms des joueurs convoqués pour ce Mondial. Ils viennent presque tous de l'équipe des Mamelodi Sundowns de Pretoria, qui a remporté la Ligue des champions de la CAF, et de l'équipe des Orlando Pirates, qui a gagné le championnat d'Afrique du Sud. De quoi semer confiance et enthousiasme chez les supporters du pays.

I det allra första avsnittet av vår extraserie inför mästerskapet tar Noa och Petter ett ordentligt grepp om den svårtippade Grupp A, bestående av Tjeckien, Mexiko, Sydafrika och Sydkorea. Fokus hamnar oundvikligen på värdnationen Mexiko, som bär en massiv press på sina axlar när de sparkar i gång hela mästerskapet mot Sydafrika på mytomspunna Aztekastadion den 11 juni. Vi diskuterar det mexikanska förbundets radikala beslut att stoppa sina inhemska spelare från klubblagsspel och det stora hoppet som nu vilar på den 17-årige supertalangen Gilberto Mora – samtidigt som evighetsmaskinen Guillermo Ochoa dammas av för ännu ett VM.Premiärmotståndaren Sydafrika kliver i sin tur in i turneringen som uträknade jumbos efter ett direkt kaosartat kval, där ett lag bestående nästan uteslutande av spelare från Orlando Pirates bland annat fråntogs en seger efter att ha spelat en ej uttagningsbar spelare. Utöver hemmanationen ställs de mot ett starkt Sydkorea, som gör sitt elfte raka VM med ett gediget Europabaserat mittfält och superstjärnan Heung-min Son i spetsen, samt ett Tjeckien som efter en stökig playoff-väg kantad av dubbla straffläggningar nu sätter all sin tillit till landslagsikonen Patrik Schick. Förutom det rent sportsliga och spelet om vilka som faktiskt kniper biljetterna till sextondelsfinalerna, avhandlar vi gruppens anmärkningsvärda geopolitiska stökighet som gett den öknamnet "Gränsdispytgruppen". Vi benar ut allt från Sydkoreas demilitariserade zon och muren mellan Mexiko och USA, till Lesothos territoriella krav i Sydafrika och Tjeckiens markbråk med Polen. I studion: Noa Bachner, Isak Dahlin & Petter Landén Ansvarig utgivare: Klas Granström Lyssna för att höra experternas dom – och glöm inte att Expressens VM-magasin släpps i butik den 29 maj för dig som vill läsa på ännu mer inför mästerskapet!

Orlando Pirates het Saterdag 'n terugslag in die Premierliga-titelstryd beleef ná 'n doellose gelykopuitslag teen Durban City. Pirates het balbesit oorheers en verskeie kanse geskep, maar is herhaaldelik deur die Durban City-verdediging en doelwagter Fredrick Asare gekeer. Die uitslag laat hulle twee punte agter die voorlopers, Mamelodi Sundowns. Afrigter Abdeslam Ouaddou sê sy span moet hul laaste wedstryd teen Orbit College FC wen om hul titelhoop lewend te hou.
Orlando Pirates will look to dispel any doubts on who will be crowned the 2025/2026 Betway Premiership when they host Durban City at the Orlando Amstel Arena *TODAY. The Buccaneers hold their fate in their hands as they currently sit in second position on the log, with two games in hand and three points behind leaders Mamelodi Sundowns, who have completed all their fixtures.

Kaizer Chiefs' current form suggests TODAY's highly anticipated Soweto Derby against arch-rivals Orlando Pirates will not be a repeat of February's one-sided affair at the same venue. Chiefs who are currently third on the log, were annihilated on that occasions. Mathematically, Amakhosi can still win the league title, but realistically they only hold the key to where the trophy will end up -- at Pirates or Mamelodi Sundowns. Sifiso Ramara reports.....

Benni McCarthy is a true South African football legend. He remains Bafana Bafana’s all-time leading scorer with 31 international goals and is the only South African ever to win the UEFA Champions League, having lifted the trophy with FC Porto in 2004. A decorated striker, he was joint top-scorer at the 1998 African Cup of Nations. In Europe he starred for top clubs – winning titles with Ajax in the Netherlands, and enjoying a “fabled” career at Porto (Champions League 2004) as well as spells at Blackburn Rovers and West Ham United in England. He finished his playing days back home with Orlando Pirates (2011–2013). McCarthy also broke ground off the pitch: as a pop culture icon, he featured in the 1998 Kwaito hit “Shibobo” by TKZee, which became South Africa’s fastest-selling single. These highlights – from “Shibobo” fame to sporting greatness – illustrate why his legacy is so celebrated. Hang out with Anele and The Club on 947 every weekday morning.

The South African Police Service and Stadium Management have vowed to clamp down on criminality and counterfeit ticket sellers ahead of TODAY's Soweto Derby at the FNB Stadium, South of Johannesburg. Recent big matches at the iconic venue have seen kickoff delays and chaotic scenes with non-ticket holders forcing their way into the stadium which has resulted into stampedes in the past. Stakeholders have now come up with plans to ensure there's no repeat of such and that any potential disaster is averted with tight security to be put in place. The country will come to a near standstill when two of the country's most loved football teams, Kaizer Chiefs and Orlando Pirates, clash in a Betway premiership match. Bongiwe Zwane spoke to SABC Sports Researcher, Janet Whitton

In this engaging conversation, Bill Umansky hosts a discussion with the head coach and CEO of the Orlando Pirates, a new indoor football team in the IFL. They explore the team's vision, the differences between the IFL and AFL, and the importance of community engagement. The conversation highlights the challenges and opportunities in building a successful sports franchise, emphasizing the need for a strong connection with the local community and the significance of creating an entertaining experience for fans. The Pirates aim to establish themselves as a competitive team while also giving back to the community and fostering a love for football in Orlando.
Depuis plusieurs mois, Donald Trump cible directement l'Afrique du Sud. Dans ses discours, le président américain accuse Pretoria de ne pas protéger les fermiers afrikaners blancs, qu'il prétend victimes d'un « génocide ». (Rediffusion du 10 décembre 2025) De notre envoyé spécial de retour de Johannesburg Les démentis sud-africains n'y changent rien. Washington sanctionne : boycott du G20 organisé à Johannesburg, exclusion de l'Afrique du Sud du prochain sommet États-Unis/Afrique et, surtout, décisions économiques lourdes, notamment des droits de douane de 30% sur les exportations sud-africaines. Pour East London, ville du Cap-Oriental dont l'économie dépend largement de l'usine Mercedes-Benz, la punition américaine est un séisme. Sur le port d'East London, la scène est pourtant immuable : rangées de berlines alignées sous les projecteurs, grues immobiles dans l'air salin, ouvriers qui s'affairent en attendant les navires. Dirk Botes, responsable clientèle, détaille l'organisation du terminal automobile : « Cette zone peut préstocker environ 1 400 voitures. Dans le hangar là-bas, un peu moins de 4 000, et sur l'esplanade ouverte environ 1 500. » Ce soir, un navire doit pourtant accoster avec plusieurs heures de retard, perturbé par le mauvais temps. « Il va charger ces véhicules, décharger ceux qui arrivent d'Europe, puis on recommencera avec le bateau suivant », explique-t-il. Ce ballet, autrefois parfaitement réglé, s'est ralenti au fil des mois. Le port exporte de moins en moins de voitures, essentiellement des Mercedes Classe C dont les ventes déclinent depuis plusieurs années. Sphiwe Mthembu, le directeur du port, ne masque pas son inquiétude : « La situation nous touche directement. Quand un constructeur présent depuis soixante-cinq ans commence soudain à souffrir d'une baisse de volumes, cela nous affecte immédiatement. Nous recevons des conteneurs destinés à l'usine : si l'usine tourne moins bien, le port en subit l'impact. Nous devons absolument garder Mercedes-Benz ici et attirer un deuxième grand constructeur. C'est vital pour l'économie locale. » En ville, la chambre de commerce suit de près la situation. Sa directrice, Lizelle Maurice, femme d'affaires respectée et ardente défenseure de l'économie locale, résume l'impact en quelques mots : « Le marché américain était notre plus gros marché, environ 30% de toutes les commandes. Quand les volumes ont commencé à baisser, les fournisseurs de Mercedes-Benz ont immédiatement réduit leurs effectifs. Et cela, c'était avant même les tarifs de Trump. La pandémie avait déjà mis notre économie à genoux. L'an dernier, l'usine est passée de trois à deux équipes, puis 700 départs volontaires ont été annoncés. Les décisions de Washington n'ont fait qu'aggraver une situation déjà très tendue. » Pour comprendre la centralité de Mercedes-Benz dans la région, Ted Keenan, journaliste du Daily Dispatch, déroule une liste : Auria Africa, Valeo International, AIH, et bien d'autres. Tous ont licencié ces derniers mois. «Certaines estimations parlent de 160 000 personnes potentiellement touchées dans la région si Mercedes s'en allait », glisse-t-il, avant de nuancer : « Je ne crois pas que ce soit réaliste. Ce serait la pire chose qui puisse arriver. Mais, il y a des rumeurs persistantes venues de Chine : Mercedes-Benz serait prêt à partager son usine. Aujourd'hui, beaucoup de constructeurs partagent leurs installations. Ce n'est pas impensable. » Pour les employés, c'est jour de fête. Plusieurs centaines d'entre eux sont rassemblés sur un terrain de rugby pour la traditionnelle célébration de fin d'année. Brochettes, musique, danses. Thabile Bevu, délégué du syndicat Numsa, explique pourtant que cette année a été rude : « La production s'est arrêtée plus tôt que d'habitude, quatre semaines en avance. C'est une combinaison de facteurs. Les taxes américaines ont forcé l'usine à réduire. En juillet, on a aussi été en chômage technique pendant six semaines. Beaucoup d'employés embauchés l'an dernier ont déjà perdu leur travail. Alors, tout le monde se demande : est-ce que je serai le prochain ? Mais Mercedes a toujours réussi à faire face, en travaillant avec nous. » Le lendemain, l'un des ouvriers, Phiwe Qaba, arborant un maillot bleu clair des Orlando Pirates, confirme que la crainte est constante : « On parle toujours du même sujet. Parce que dès que les États-Unis arrêtent de commander, notre vie quotidienne change. » Si lui bénéficie d'accords garantissant un revenu minimum même en cas de chômage technique, il pense aux autres, à ceux qui gravitent autour de l'usine : « La dame qui vend des fruits à l'entrée, le gars qui fait le ménage, celle qui prépare la nourriture… eux rentrent chez eux sans un sou. C'est une catastrophe. » À quelques kilomètres du centre-ville, dans le township historique de Duncan Village, on ressent déjà les secousses de la crise. Khulile Jacobs, éducateur et figure locale, fait visiter le lycée du quartier et raconte l'effet sur les familles : « Beaucoup avaient pris des prêts logement ou auto. Avec les licenciements, tout risque de s'effondrer. Des familles qui avaient quitté le township pour des quartiers plus aisés reviennent déjà. Le mouvement a commencé juste après l'élection américaine de novembre. Les entreprises savaient ce qui allait arriver. » Pour Khulile Jacobs, les raisons des décisions de Donald Trump dépassent largement les questions agricoles ou sécuritaires : « C'est une nouvelle forme de guerre froide. L'Afrique du Sud est un hub d'investissements sur le continent. On a l'impression que Trump essaie de détourner ces investissements vers les États-Unis. » Il ajoute un facteur géopolitique majeur : « Le fait que notre pays ait amené Israël devant la Cour internationale de justice a pesé lourd. Pour Trump, c'est comme si l'Afrique du Sud s'était opposée à un allié stratégique. » Et lorsqu'on lui demande s'il soutient son gouvernement dans cette démarche, la réponse est sans ambiguïté : « À 100 %, même plus. Nous nous tiendrons toujours aux côtés du peuple palestinien. Moralement, nous ne pouvons pas faire autrement. » Malgré tout, certains veulent croire à un possible apaisement. Lizelle Maurice, la directrice de la chambre de commerce, appelle à ne pas couper le dialogue : « Trump doit comprendre que ses décisions touchent des millions de personnes. Il doit revoir sa stratégie vis-à-vis de l'Afrique du Sud. Comme je le dis toujours : garde tes amis près de toi, mais tes ennemis encore plus près. »

Sokker: Orlando Pirates se afrigter, Abdeslam Ouaddou, sê die Afrikabekertoernooi verhoog steeds die standaard van sokker in Afrika. Ouaddou het in Marokko die CAF-president, Patrice Motsepe, geprys vir die verbetering van organisasie, fasiliteite en veldgehalte oor die hele vasteland. Ouaddou sê hierdie verbeterings sal een van die beste Afrikabekertoernooie lewer. Hy het Bafana Bafana en die spelers ook sterkte toegewens en hulle aangespoor om hul land trots te maak:
Depuis plusieurs mois, Donald Trump cible directement l'Afrique du Sud. Dans ses discours, le président américain accuse Pretoria de ne pas protéger les fermiers afrikaners blancs, qu'il prétend victimes d'un « génocide ». De notre envoyé spécial de retour de Johannesburg Les démentis sud-africains n'y changent rien. Washington sanctionne : boycott du G20 organisé à Johannesburg, exclusion de l'Afrique du Sud du prochain sommet États-Unis/Afrique et, surtout, décisions économiques lourdes, notamment des droits de douane de 30% sur les exportations sud-africaines.

Welcome in for another edition of the Morning Espresso from the SDH Network, brought to you by Oglethorpe University, Atlanta's premier undergraduate learning experience and soccer powerhouse.First time in Atlanta United history that they have lost back-to-back games by three goals or more as the Five Stripes lost 3-0 in Orlando on Saturday night. First goal was given after a lengthy VAR check but the second half performance was poor and Atlanta never looked dangerous or looked like getting back into the match. Big week ahead with Nashville, who won 7-2 on Saturday night over Chicago, coming to town.Vancouver remains the top team in MLS this season after a 3-1 win at Minnesota. Miami lost its unbeaten start to the regular season, losing 4-3 at home to Dallas on a day where its stars were rested ahead of the Whitecaps' visit in the second leg of the Concacaf Champions Cup semifinal later this week. Portland are unbeaten in 7 after their 4-2 win over the LA Galaxy on the road. Denis Bouanga's late spectacular equalizer rescued a point for LAFC at home against St. Louis. Cincinnati is the top team in the East after Kevin Denkey's Goal of the Year contender of a bicycle kick helped them win 2-1 over Kansas City.Barcelona won the Copa del Rey 3-2 over Real Madrid in extra time, Jules Kounde with a 22-yard smash to win it. Real Madrid had 3 players sent off after the go-ahead goal and after the final whistle as their meltdown and poor behavior regarding referees continues. Carlo Ancelotti is expected to finish the La Liga season now as talks continue about him taking over as the Brazilian national team manager with Spanish outlet Marca still continuing the conversation about Jurgen Klopp's potential as the next manager in Madrid. Xabi Alonso is widely regarded as the front runner for that job.Liverpool won their 20th English top-flight title, and their 2nd Premier League title, with their win over Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday. Arne Slot is the third manager in club history to win the title in his first season at the club and the 5th to win the Premier League title in his first season across all clubs. Mo Salah has equaled Alan Shearer and Andy Cole's record for goal contributions in a season, they did it in 42 games and Salah has done it in 34, he still has 4 games to set the record outright. Arsenal came back in the second leg to beat Lyon to advance to the UEFA Women's Champions League final. They lost 2-1 in the home leg but won 4-1 in the away leg in the France to meet Barcelona, who defeated Chelsea 4-1 in each leg of their semifinal series. Napoli has taken control of Serie A with a win powered by two goals from Scott McTominay. Inter lost to Roma earlier in the day on Sunday. The African Champions League will see Mamelodi Sundowns, who defeated the current champions Al Ahly in Cairo thanks to a stoppage time own goal, face Pyramids FC, who came back twice against Orlando Pirates. More Espresso on Tuesday on the SDH Network, presented by Oglethorpe University.
Welcome in for another edition of the Morning Espresso from the SDH Network, brought to you by Oglethorpe University, Atlanta's premier undergraduate learning experience and soccer powerhouse.One of the wildest comebacks in the history of Manchester United might not just save their season, but might just save their status as an elite-level club as the Red Devils were trailing 4-2 to Lyon in extra time with less than 10 minutes to play and they came all the way back to win 5-4 on the night and 7-6 on aggregate. Non-forwards who were pressed into attacking roles Kobbie Mainoo & Harry Maguire scored the goals that leveled it and won it. Of course the Champions League final comeback win is going to be bigger, but there isn't a more shocking comeback and from a deeper position in a meaningful match that I can remember. Spurs continue on in the Europa League as well and Ange Postecoglou is enjoying sticking it to his critics after they knocked out Eintracht Frankfurt. Could it be an all-England Europa League final? Sputs have to get past Norwegian champs Bodo/Glimt while Manchester United will face Athletic Club de Bilbao.All MLS matches this weekend are tomorrow and the highlight is Columbus hosting Miami in Cleveland. Both teams are unbeaten, but Miami does have to think about Thursday's trip to Vancouver for the first leg of the Concacaf Champions Cup semifinals. Some other tasty matchups this weekend, be on the lookout for this week's MLS Six Pack later today on the SDH Network.UEFA Women's Champions League semifinals start this weekend with former Arsenal manager Joe Montemurro leading his Lyon side against the Gunners while Chelsea and Barcelona meet for the third straight year at this stage. Barcelona have won the last two, but Sonia Bompastor will continue the Quadruple-chase for the Blues. African Champions League semifinals also start this weekend as two Egyptian clubs, Al Ahly who have won 4 of the last 5 titles and Pyramids, face two South Africa clubs in Mamelodi Sundowns and Orlando Pirates, respectively. First legs in South Africa this weekend, second legs next Friday in Cairo. According to Spanish reports, Jurgen Klopp has agreed to speak with Real Madrid about their coaching job that is expected to be open after the Copa del Rey final against Barcelona next weekend. Carlo Ancelotti is still in the sights of Brazil, who want him in place before the June World Cup qualifiers. More to come on this, but Georgia Impact sent the SDH Network a statement about their inclusion in WPSL Pro, the new women's second division professional league launching next year. "For too long female soccer players thought the end of the road was after 4 years in college. Now we can offer them the opportunity to live their dream by making it as a professional soccer player," said Robert Roddie, the Georgia Impact head coach. Their season at the amateur level of the WPSL starts very soon in Canton, coverage coming shortly all over the SDH Network as they start their preparations for becoming a professional club in 2026. More Espresso on Monday on the SDH Network, presented by Oglethorpe University.

Après avoir encaissé 4 buts lors du Clasico le 26 octobre 2024, les Merengues ont à nouveau déchanté à Djeddah, en Arabie saoudite. Au terme d'un choc spectaculaire et d'une prestation collective de classe, les Blaugranas l'ont emporté 5-2 en finale.
