Cameroon squad changes for AFCON: Onana, Aboubakar out, Pagou new coach
Cameroon has dropped Andre Onana and Vincent Aboubakar for the Africa Cup of Nations, appointing David Pagou as coach following a World Cup qualification failure. Cameroon have omitted goalkeeper André Onana from their squad for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations and appointed David Pagou as coach. According to a report from TimesLIVE, Onana — currently on loan at Trabzonspor from Manchester United — is among several seasoned players excluded, including long-time striker Vincent Aboubakar. The changes come after Cameroon failed to qualify for the 2026 World Cup. The same report notes that Pagou replaces Belgian coach Marc Brys, with the decision coming shortly after the re-election of federation president Samuel Eto’o, who had long sought Brys’s removal. The final squad — drawn ahead of the AFCON beginning December 21 — features players such as Manchester United winger Bryan Mbeumo and Brighton midfielder Carlos Baleba, while omitting other high-profile names. -

Landon Donovan names his USMNT 2026 World Cup roster, no Musah
Landon Donovan unveiled his 26-player roster for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, highlighting breakout stars Gio Reyna and Sebastian Berhalter, and outlining key selections across all positions.
USMNT legend Landon Donovan has named the 26 players he would send to the 2026 FIFA World Cup if the tournament started today, highlighting recent standout performances from Gio Reyna and Sebastian Berhalter.
According to a report from Sports Illustrated, U.S. men’s national team icon Landon Donovan selected the 26 players he believes should be on the USMNT roster for the upcoming FIFA World Cup.
Donovan, who holds USMNT records for appearances and goals, made his selections following the team’s successful camp, including a 5–1 thrashing of Uruguay.
Donovan singled out two November standouts for special mention: Gio Reyna and Sebastian Berhalter. Both players “scored and assisted goals this camp” and, in Donovan’s eyes, Reyna is “on a plane to California next summer.”
Berhalter, after a strong season with the Vancouver Whitecaps, has “played himself into a role as well after bossing a talented Uruguay side.”
In his selection, Donovan chose four center backs despite Coach Mauricio Pochettino’s recent tactical switch to a 3-4-3 formation.
Key players named include Christian Pulisic (AC Milan, 82 caps), Tyler Adams (Bournemouth, 52 caps), and Weston McKennie (Juventus, 62 caps).
Up front, the striker position is “straightforward,” with Folarin Balogun (AS Monaco, 23 caps) leading the line, supported by Ricardo Pepi and Haji Wright as bench options. Balogun “cemented his status as the main man up top after scoring the game winner against Paraguay.”
Notably excluded from Donovan’s list were Yunus Musah and Joe Scally.

Guardiola’s tactical future and Messi’s Miami mission
Graham Ruthven explores Pep Guardiola’s tactical future, Lionel Messi’s heroic quest for MLS glory with Inter Miami, and the wild, snow-covered Canadian Premier League final.
1. Match Summary
The Seattle Sounders defeated the Colorado Rapids 2-0 in a decisive victory. Albert Rusnák opened the scoring in the 15th minute, with Jordan Rothrock adding a second in the 62nd minute. Despite Colorado having more possession, Seattle proved more clinical in front of goal. A disallowed goal for Seattle in the 18th minute added a brief moment of tension, but ultimately didn't impact the result.
2. Team Performance Analysis
Seattle Sounders: Seattle demonstrated efficiency despite being slightly outplayed in possession (43% vs 57%). Their superior shot accuracy (5 on target from 15 total) and ability to get into dangerous areas (11 shots inside the box) were key to their success. While they committed 10 fouls and received 2 yellow cards, they were able to maintain control and capitalize on their opportunities. Their expected goals (xG) of 1.11 suggests the scoreline reflects a fair representation of their attacking threat.
Colorado Rapids: Colorado dominated possession and completed a higher percentage of passes (86% vs 75%), but struggled to translate that into scoring opportunities. Only 3 of their 7 shots were on target, and they lacked penetration in the final third, with only 3 shots coming from inside the box. The Rapids committed a significant number of fouls (17) and received 4 yellow cards, indicating a potentially frustrated and overly aggressive approach. Their low xG of 0.38 highlights their lack of genuine goal-scoring threat.
