Donald Trump weighs in on soccer's age-old GOAT debate: 'This player was tremendous'
US President Donald Trump has weighed in on the age-old debate over who is the greatest soccer player of all time.
Trump, who attended Chelsea's FIFA Club World Cup final win over European champions Paris Saint-Germain in New Jersey on Sunday, snubbed both Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, who are seen by modern football fans as the greatest to ever play the game.
While names like Messi and Ronaldo have dominated the conversation in recent years, the likes of Pelé, Diego Maradona, Johan Cruyff, Eusébio, Alfredo Di Stéfano, Ferenc Puskás, and Zinedine Zidane have also been mentioned.
But, due to being part of the Boomer generation, His Orangeness opted for a player who graced the pitch in the 1950s and 1960s when asked who he thought was the greatest footballer of all time.

Kaizer Chiefs broke silence on Ighodaro news
Kaizer Chiefs have firmly denied reports linking Etiosa Ighodaro to the club, despite weekend speculation suggesting a deal had been finalised. Contrary to the circulating rumours, Ighodaro has not signed with the Soweto giants. Amakhosi returned to South Africa on Saturday night after wrapping up a crucial pre-season camp in the Netherlands. Head coach Nasreddine Nabi used the European tour to closely evaluate his squad ahead of the upcoming 2025/2026 season. Kaizer Chiefs have now shifted their attention to this Saturday's blockbuster Toyota Cup clash against Ghanaian powerhouse Asante Kotoko. The match will take place at Moses Mabhida Stadium in Durban, offering Nabi's charges another opportunity to gel and sharpen their tactical approach. The club recently confirmed several new signings, strengthening their squad with the additions of Thabiso Monyane, Paseka Mako, Nkanyiso Shinga, Ethan Chislett, Flavio Silva, and Siphesihle Ndlovu. However, Ighodaro's name did not appear among the announced arrivals following the team's return from Europe. 'There's been a lot of talk about Ighodaro joining Chiefs, but the reports suggesting he has signed are inaccurate,' a source close to the situation told the Siya crew. 'He is still assessing his options both locally and abroad. Nothing has been concluded.' Addressing viral images of Ighodaro in Chiefs' colours, the source clarified. 'Those pictures were photoshopped.' The misleading visuals only added confusion to an already noisy transfer rumour. Ighodaro, who spent last season on loan at AmaZulu from Mamelodi Sundowns, is believed to be weighing up a move abroad. Moroccan club Maghreb Association Sportive de Fès (MAS Fès) have reportedly shown strong interest in the Nigerian striker. With the transfer window still open and the club actively restructuring under Nabi. Amakhosi fans can expect more surprises before the new campaign kicks off. Whether Ighodaro resurfaces as a genuine target or not. One thing is clear, Chiefs are not done making moves. Let us know by leaving a comment below or send a WhatsApp to 060 011 021 1.

Orlando Pirates news: R120 million, exit looms, new deal revealed
Orlando Pirates secured a 2-0 victory over Granada on Saturday to conclude their European pre-season tour. 20-year-old phenom Relebohile Mofokeng was one of the names on the scoresheet in what could be his final game for the Buccaneers amid substantial interest from several clubs across the globe, including Ah Ahly, FC Cincinnati, and Dutch giants PSV. According to reports, the latter is willing to pay over R100 million for the Sharpeville-born star. 'R100 million is like a round figure. It's more than that! The amount they were negotiating for was initially R120 million,' an inside source revealed. 'You know it's not exactly what you want that you get, and that's why they are talking about the R100 million, but it's believed to be more than that.' A second source confirmed PSV's intentions, alluding to the fact that the Orlando Pirates star is the preferred choice over their initial target Iqraam Rayners. 'There are different scouts from Holland who are believed to be working with recruiters for PSV. They enquired about Iqraam Rayners but it is believed that they are looking at a long-term investment now, and that's why they have opened up negotiations with Orlando Pirates for Rele Mofokeng,' the second insider revealed. Meanwhile, Orlando Pirates have reportedly offered 35-year-old maestro Makhehlene Makhaula contract discussion. Talks have been in motion for a couple months the players agent, Sizwe Ntshangase, confirmed in June. 'What I can confirm is that our discussions with Pirates have gone very well, to the satisfaction of both parties. It is up to Pirates to issue an official statement on Makhaula's contract and its duration,' Ntshangase said. 'I don't like to talk too much (to the media) about the contract of a player I represent, but I leave a lot to his team once we have concluded negotiations with them.'

Cardoso guided the Brazilians to an unprecedented eighth consecutive league title, securing the 2024/25 Betway Premiership crown. He also led Sundowns to the CAF Champions League final, where they were narrowly beaten by Egyptian giants Pyramids FC.

I received a letter from the President of the Portuguese Football Federation, recognising the work I've recently done in Africa,' Cardoso said. 'I was also recognised by the Portuguese Football Coaches Association and awarded the José Maria Pedroto Award which is named after a very important coach in Portugal who managed FC Porto. This award is directly related to the work at Mamelodi Sundowns, including our champions league final qualification and winning the PSL.' The 53-year-old tactician has been nominated for the PSL Coach of the Season award, alongside Stellenbosch FC's Steve Barker and former Orlando Pirates boss José Riveiro. Reflecting on the campaign, Cardoso highlighted key moments that shaped his successful season. 'I have many fantastic memories that come to mind regarding the first season here in the PSL. I think there are different moments but I can highlight the start which was amazing and difficult but very good in terms of results with important matches that were won immediately against Stellenbosch FC and AmaZulu FC away,' he concluded. 'That gave us the positive energy to gather the souls of everyone together and then I remember the month of January where we scored goal after goal and won matches by big margins. At that moment we sent a powerful statement and I also remember the period after we won against Al Ahly and qualified for the Caf Champions League final.
