An emotional Lionel Scaloni said Lionel Messi deserved a special reception when taking the field for likely his last competitive game on home soil for Argentina on Thursday, though he expressed hope that the legendary forward would get another chance to bid farewell to the Argentine fans before his retirement.

Messi, 38, has not yet announced when he plans to retire, but he confirmed last week that he expects Thursday’s match with Venezuela in Buenos Aires to be his last time playing at home in a World Cup qualifier.

Asked about that prospect during his pregame news conference on Wednesday, Scaloni described the honour of coaching the eight-time Ballon d’Or winner, with whom he won a World Cup title in 2022.

“Yes, this is a match which Leo has said will be emotional, special, nice because it’s true that it’s our last qualifying match,” Scaloni, who wiped away tears during his appearance before the media, said. “We have to enjoy it as we’ve always been saying.

“More than anyone I will enjoy it. Having been able to coach him has honestly been a pleasure and let’s hope that fans who go to the stadium will also enjoy it because he truly deserves it.

“Tomorrow will be a nice match. Exciting. I’m sure that it won’t be his last game in Argentina and I say that we’ll make sure that if he decides it’s the last game, we play another because it’s obvious to do that in the right moment and because he deserves it.”

Colombia four points ahead in sixth and Bolivia just one point back in eighth, it remains all to play for in the final two rounds of qualifying.

“It’s an uncomfortable, difficult opponent who, with Bocha [Batista], have achieved some very good results and are on the verge of playing, or have the possibility of playing, in a World Cup,” Scaloni said. “And that could be something historic for them. So, we appreciate that.

“We’ve shared moments with him, and they will be a tough opponent, where a lot is at stake in tomorrow’s match. And that makes the game exciting to watch and, as always, we will try to win by playing our way.”

As Argentina look ahead to the World Cup, Scaloni admitted that much of their preparations remain up in the air, including whether they will face off with European champions Spain in the Finalissima next year.

“It’s not certain that the game will be played because it’s still not clear whether Spain will finish as group leaders [in UEFA qualifying],” Scaloni said. “If they aren’t group leaders in March, the game can’t be played. So, there’s a question mark there. We’ll have to wait to see what happens and we’ll have to wait to confirm our games.

“And it’s the same with June. We’ll have to find teams to play if we want to play them here. It’s not easy to get teams to come and play here. It’s the same old problem we’ve always had, especially after the introduction of the Nations League, where the Europeans play among themselves. We don’t have the opportunity to go to Europe to play because they’re all busy. So, everything has become more complicated in recent years.”

Togethxr, a company founded by athletes Alex Morgan, Sue Bird, Simone Manuel and Chloe Kim, has announced a partnership that puts its slogan “Everyone Watches Women’s Sports” on the jerseys of the London City Lionesses.

London City are playing this season in the English Women’s Super League. The team’s opening match is set for Saturday at Arsenal.

Michele Kang, owner of the Washington Spirit in the NWSL and OL Lyonnes in the top French league, bought the Lionesses in 2023. London City are the only WSL team not affiliated with a Premier League club.

“London City Lionesses was founded to reimagine women’s football — to be bold, independent, and drive women’s football forward,” Kang said in a statement Wednesday. “Our partnership with Togethxr reflects that same goal and allows us to do it at pace! Seeing ‘Everyone Watches Women’s Sports’ on our kit is a powerful statement and we look forward to starting influential conversations that progress women’s sport.”

The “Everyone Watches Women’s Sports” T-shirts were first released in 2023 and quickly gained popularity. Celebrities and athletes including actor Jason Sudeikis and Golden State Warriors guard Steph Curry have worn the shirts.

Togethxr announced earlier this year that merchandise featuring the slogan had generated $6 million in revenue for the media and commerce company.

Togethxr’s agreement with the Lionesses is described as a partnership as opposed to a sponsorship, so the company is not paying to put the saying on the jerseys. Togethxr also has partnerships with the WNBA and NWSL.

“We’re joining forces to reaffirm that the future of women’s sports is here,” Morgan said in the announcement. “It’s global, and it’s inevitable. London City Lionesses were born to disrupt football, and Togethxr was born to disrupt sports media.”

Jaycie Bass scored two goals for the Texans with assists from Stevie Reynolds and Sammy Schulze. Reynolds and Schulze also scored goals for TSU.  

Tarleton State took 13 shots compared to Incarnate Word’s 10 shots, with eight of them shot on goal, and goalkeepers Emma Barnes and Mikayla Kendall recorded a combined three saves for the Texans. 

Senior midfielder Jaycie Bass was recently named the WAC Offensive Player of the Week for week three. Bass is now the second player in just three weeks to receive a weekly honor for the Texans, her first in her four-year career. She notched a pair of goals and an assist to record five total points in the first six games of the season. The senior has started the last four games for Tarleton State, recording a total of 238 minutes played this season. She is the fourth person to score multiple goals in a game in program history, as it has only been done a total of six times. Reynolds accounts for three of those, two occurring earlier this season. 

Reynolds has been a key asset for the Texans so far in the 2025 season. The senior is ranked inside the top ten nationally in three offensive statistical categories: T-6th in total goals (6), T-9th in total points (13), and T-10th in goals per game (1.00). She was one of only 10 players in the country to have scored six or more goals in the 2025 season as of Sept. 3 and currently leads the WAC conference in seven different statistical categories. Reynolds was named the WAC Offensive Player of the Week for week one. During their game against Texas Southern, Reynolds set the new single game shot record with seven shots and tied the single game shot on goal record of five shots on goal. She was the only player in the WAC to score multiple goals in one game through week one and was one of 35 athletes to score at least three goals in the first week. The forward is now tied for first in program history for total goals scored in her Tarleton State career. 

Emma Barnes has been a defensive standout for Tarleton State this season. In her third straight starting appearance, Barnes set a new personal record during her Tarleton State career with nine saves and 18 shots faced against UTEP. The goalkeeper has appeared in five of the six games for the Texans, recording 15 saves and allowing only two goals. Prior to this season, Barnes had only started one match, occurring as a freshman back in September of 2023. 

Tarleton State Women’s Soccer was recently ranked eighth in the Pacific Region by the United Soccer Coaches. The Texans are currently leading the WAC conference in ten different statistical categories and have earned three shutouts in just six games this season. 

Head coach Pete Cuadrado is in his 22nd season as a collegiate head coach and his fourth season with Tarleton State. He began his career at North Dakota State before moving to Wyoming in 2012, and then to TSU in 2021. Cuadrado currently has 190 career wins, securing 22 of those with the Texans. 

11 new athletes entered the program for the 2025 season, as well as 16 returning Texans. TSU’s 27-woman roster includes seven international players from two different countries: Australia and Canada. 

Eight current Texans have been pillars in building the foundation of the program, competing with Tarleton State Women’s Soccer since its beginning in 2022. These athletes include Mikayla Kendall, Rylie Bloomfield, Avery Harr, Kyra Goudzwaard, Kaitlyn Flanagan, Teeghan Dodd, Jaycie Bass and Macy Hellwig. All eight athletes are now academic seniors and will be graduating during the 2025-2026 academic year. 

The 2025 WAC conference schedule consists of 10 games, with only six teams being active members in the league this year. The 2025 WAC Tournament will be hosted by Utah Valley and will be held at UCCU Stadium in Orem, Utah from November 5-8. 

Tarleton State will return to action this Sunday to host their Bounce Back Brunch for their matchup with McNeese at the Tarleton State Soccer Complex. More information will be released soon.

Kaizer Chiefs striker Wandile Duba has broken his silence following a wave of criticism and disturbing threats from sections of the club’s fanbase, revealing that the abuse affected his mental state and led to him missing the team’s most recent match.

Speaking at the Nedbank multipurpose court handover at Phulong Secondary School in Springs, Duba addressed growing commentary around his playing style, particularly claims that he’s “too aggressive” for a striker. While he remained composed in his response, the 21-year-old admitted that the situation had taken a toll.

“No, no, no. It’s part of the job. You do well, they talk. You do bad, they talk. I just keep on focusing on what I do best and I don’t mind all the negative comments.”

When asked specifically about the criticism of his physical approach, Duba was clear that his style is intentional and aligned with the coach’s expectations.

“Does it affect you when people say you play aggressively? No, it doesn’t actually. It doesn’t because that’s how the coach wants us to be.”

However, the conversation took a darker turn as Duba revealed that some fans had crossed the line, sending death threats via social media, which ultimately impacted his readiness to play.

“It’s just the comments, people coming to your account, commenting threatening to kill you and all that. I don’t think on the last game I wasn’t on my right state of mind. So, I didn’t even go to go play.”

Trent Alexander-Arnold admitted Liverpool will always be his “home”, but he could not pass up the challenge and opportunity of playing for Real Madrid.

It’s been just over three months since Alexander-Arnold bid farewell to his boyhood club after spending 20 years in Merseyside. The fullback helped Liverpool win all there was to win in England before he decided to make the move to the Spanish capital.

The Reds’ supporters did not take the decision too kindly at first, but they eventually gave their homegrown star a proper sendoff in his final appearance back in May. The next time Alexander-Arnold steps on the pitch at Anfield, he will be wearing white.

The highly anticipated Champions League meeting between Real Madrid and Liverpool will be a homecoming for Alexander-Arnold after making what called the “hardest decision of his life” to leave.

“Liverpool is my home; it made me who I am. But Madrid felt like the right step, at the right time,” Alexander-Arnold revealed in an interview with GQ Spain.

“Liverpool made me who I am,” he continued. “More than anything, it was the ambition and personal desire for change. To challenge myself in a new environment.”

Alexander-Arnold joined Liverpool at age six and climbed through the ranks to eventually become the club’s vice-captain. The right back built a well-earned legacy in a red shirt as he helped bring nine trophies, including two Premier League titles and one Champions League title, to Merseyside.

Yet the Englishman left it all behind to embark on a new chapter at Real Madrid, joining the likes of Jude Bellingham, Kylian Mbappé and Vinícius Júnior in Madrid.

“Of course, [Real Madrid’s] legacy is undeniable. But more than that, what attracted me was the ambition and the desire to test myself in a new context,” Alexander-Arnold said.

More pressure is on Alexander-Arnold than ever before now that he plays for the biggest club in the world. All eyes are on the blockbuster signing who has yet to look his best since the move to Spain.

“It’s definitely a challenge, but it’s one I welcome,” Alexander-Arnold admitted. “The Bernabéu is a sacred place. You feel the weight of the shirt, but that’s what drives you to give your all.”

Los Blancos are banking on Alexander-Arnold to help bring major trophies back to the Spanish capital after the club’s poor 2024–25 campaign. It is now up to the ex-Liverpool star to live up to the expectations of the Real Madrid badge.
