Goran Paladin shares his picks and plays ahead of the opening two games of the World Cup. Mexico vs South Africa 7:00am Friday | Mexico City Stadium Mexico 1-0, 2-0 or 2-1 @ $2.10 Finally, we can stop raving about Tim Payne’s social media following and start watching football! History repeats in the opening match of the 2026 FIFA World Cup, as 16 years ago it was South Africa hosting Mexico, in the African continent’s first-ever home World Cup. On that occasion, a huge crowd of close to 85,000 creating a wall of sound with those darn vuvuzelas watched Bafana…

• Goran Paladin
Goran Paladin shares his picks and plays for Day 2 of the World Cup. Canada vs Bosnia & Herzegovina 7:00am Saturday | Toronto Stadium Draw @ $3.50 With Switzerland perceived to be the strongest in Group B and Qatar the weakest, this match already looms as must-win territory for our combatants. Because if the aim is to avoid the uncertainty of the 3rd place ballot and qualify automatically for the Round of 32, a top two finish is required… meaning both Canada and Bosnia & Herzegovina will be gunning for all three points here. The enormous boost for Canada of…

World Cup Preview: Breaking Down Every Group

• Goran Paladin
Ay, caramba! Mexico hosts a World Cup for the third time in history, on this occasion with ‘hosting buddies’ Canada & the USA. And in their own backyard, El Tricolor are favourites to top Group A which features South Korea, South Africa and (South?) Czechia. Mexico’s huge leg-up is playing two of their group games at the mighty Azteca; there will be more than 80,000 in attendance, not to mention the added pressure of performing at 2,200 metres above sea level. Playing at altitude is no joke, and with a wild home crowd behind them they will ease into the…

Well, well, well, fancy an Auckland FC home Grand Final. Go Media is going to be rocking on Saturday night with tickets having sold out almost instantly, extra seats have been put in and sold out just as quickly!

A-League Semi-Final (Second Leg) Preview

This semi-final now feels like it’s in Adelaide’s hands. A 1-1 draw in Auckland means the sides will face off in Adelaide for a spot in the Grand Final. It’s a tough place to play at the best of times, and for Auckland, well, they’re down a couple of key men. Guillermo May will miss out due to an injury, but Sam Cosgrove should step in and get some good minutes under his belt. Adelaide will be buoyed by the fact that Luka Jovanovic can return to the squad after missing the first leg due to suspension. This has all…
