After a scintillating UCL final which saw Liverpool fall short to Real Madrid, African star and Senegalese attacker Sadio Mane announced that he wants to leave Anfield. The 30-year-old revealed before the match that he has an announcement and it has since been revealed that the reason behind wanting to leave, all comes down to wages. Mane is currently earning around £100 000 per week; he is currently outside of the Reds' 10 highest earners. According to Sport Bild, the reason for Mane's refusal to extend his stay with Liverpool is because the club were against giving the forward the weekly £393 000 wage package he had requested.
Another hot topic that has been brought up; is Argentina thrashing Italy in the third ever edition of the CONMEBOL-UEFA Cup of champions. This fixture sees the winners of the COPA America lock horns with the winners of the European Championship. La Albiceleste have now gone a record 32 games unbeaten with an attack that seems to be too menacing for most opponents. This is the second major international trophy that Lionel Messi has lifted.
On the latest episode of The International News Desk, former Mamelodi Sundowns and Ajax Cape Town goalie Sean Roberts discusses the future of Sadio Mane with Soccer Laduma International News correspondent Kurt Buckerfield. The gents also discuss the latest with Lionel Messi and Argentina emerging victorious over Italy in Thursday night’s Finalissima as well as a few other of the biggest transfer stories. -
The talking point on everybody’s lips from this week’s International scene is the confirmed signing of Erling Haaland. The 21-year-old is set to join Manchester City after his release clause was activated for a measly £60 million. Manchester City of course haven’t had a world-class, out and out number 9 since Sergio Ageruo left them in 2021 and the citizens are looking to bolster up their already world-class squad with some attacking firepower to hopefully win them their first-ever UEFA Champions League trophy in the next season.
Former Mamelodi Sundowns and Ajax Cape Town goalie Sean Roberts and Soccer Laduma International News Correspondent Kurt Bucckerfield also talk about the Erik ten Hag regime at Manchester United with a complete rebuild looking to be the case. It is said that the Dutch tactician wants to get Frenkie de Jong and Matthijs de Ligt to join the Red Devils. Let us not forget that these two youngsters worked with ten Hag at Ajax and with the likes of Donny van de Beek set to return from his loan spell, the trio could be reunited! -

Ever since Manchester City’s takeover in 2008, they have been a force to be reckoned with. The citizens have spent over £1 Billion since then but yet, the UEFA Champions League trophy is still out of their reach. Their legendary manager Pep Guardiola has failed on multiple occasions to bring them European glory, however as history repeats itself, this time around is not meant to be. Having boasted one of the most impressive squads in this year’s competition, with the likes of De Bruyne and Bernardo Silva, one questions how they managed to let a lead slip like they did, allowing 2 goals in a matter of seconds against Real Madrid. There are many opinions as to why this might’ve been the case. Speaking on the SL Podcast. Soccer Laduma international news correspondent Kurt Buckerfield thinks that Pep doesn’t have that much of an emotional connection with his players, such as rival coach Jurgen Klopp. If that is the case, Sean Roberts will have something to say about it!
On The latest episode of the International News Desk, former Mamelodi Sundowns and Ajax Cape Town goalie Sean Roberts discusses the semi-finals of the UEFA Champions League with Soccer Laduma international news correspondent Kurt Buckerfield, which saw Pep Guardiola fail to reach the final again. -
With current Ajax Amsterdam coach Erik ten Hag putting pen to paper to become Manchester United’s manager, the Dutchman requested to have full control over which players come into the club and which players leave. This may come as a shock, but putting all of this into the manager's hands and not the people at the top, means he will have full control over the style in the near future. Ten Hag is a super-genius when it comes to tactics and playing style, with a heavy emphasis on youth; hence why he has openly stated that an overhaul is on the cards. Many players such as Pogba and Cavana will be leaving as free agents, but ten Hag is said to sell others such as Mata, Matic, Jones, and Bailey. He will most likely to replace these players (12 in total) with some exciting youth, with a budget of between £100-£120 million but with the sale of 6 players, that budget will no doubt increase.
Former Mamelodi Sundowns and Ajax Cape town goalie Sean Roberts and Soccer Laduma International News Correspondent Kurt Buckerifeld also talk about the first leg matches of the UEFA Champions League which saw some incredible football being played. The gents also take some time to discuss Neymar and his potential move away from PSG, after it has been said that the Brazilian has lost touch with the club. -
As the PSL heads towards the business end of the season, it is becoming more and more unlikely the log leaders Mamelodi Sundowns will be caught as they now hold a gap of 14 points. Second Placed Royal AM seems too far behind the Brazilians. Another aspect pot this season that seems unlikely is Peter Shalulile not receiving the Player of the Season Award. The Namibian striker has scored an impressive 21 goals so far this season, after securing a phenomenal record of 2 hatricks in back-to-back matches. The 28-year-old is well on track to overtake Collins Mbesuma’s record of 25 goals in a single season. The Sundowns man has been in fine form for a few seasons now and a question that has run through everyone’s mind, is why isn’t he in Europe? Some would say that the salary at Sundowns is too good to turn down, others would say that he is flourishing in South Africa, why would he play second fiddle in Europe? Ultimately, is he good enough for Europe? Being 28 years old, many European clubs would commit a risk analysis on the player, but maybe a move to North Africa is the right decision. Or he is where he is meant to be?
The UEFA Champions League has reached the semi-finals with 2 Spanish teams and 2 English teams left. All four of these teams had to fight to get into the semi-finals but none more fairytale-like than Villareal after the Yellow-Submarine beat the Bavarian Giants (Bayern Munich) away, to reach this spot. Soccer Laduma international news correspondent Kurt Buckerfield says “this Villareal story is beautiful.”
On the latest episode of the International News Desk Special, former Mamelodi Sundowns and Ajax Cape Town goalie Sean Roberts discusses the levels that Peter Shalulile is reaching. Sean and Kurt chat about the UCL semi-final fixtures and who is next in line for the Manchester United Job! -
With the 2021/2022 English Premier League season coming to the start of the business end, Manchester United find themselves in a measly 7th position on the league table. Having played 30 games (so far) and not having a 50% winning percentage is the biggest concern for the Red Devils. The 9 draws were wasted points and the losses then came as no surprise. United seems to be incredibly unstable and it seems as though everything started to fall apart when Fergie left-back in 2013. As of right now, Manchester United does not have a concrete coach as Ralf Rangink is merely an interim coach but what happens when his 6-month coaching contract comes to an end? Ralf will then step up to the director of football at the club, but in terms of coaches, there seems to be one man who's on top of United’s list. Erik ten Hag. The Dutchman has had some wonderful success with Ajax Amsterdam (current coaching job).
Reports suggest that the deal to bring the 52-year-old to Old Trafford is ‘almost done' and the release clause in his contract could be a big reason why current PSG manager Mauricio Pochettino isn’t leading the race (amongst other things). Ten Hag is set to bring in some big-name players and with his expertise, hopefully, he can turn things around for the Red Devils.
On the latest episode p\of the International News Desk, former Mamelodi Sundowns, and Ajax Cape Town goalie Sean Roberts discusses the rumours of PSG already offering Paul Pogba a contract. Soccer Laduma International news correspondent Kurt Buckerifeld joins the big man to talk about Bale's contract at Real Madrid and Karim ‘The Dream” Benzema. -
With the International break almost over, the world cup qualification is just about finished which sees 5 very strong African teams heading to Qatar. The regular European and South American teams will also feature. During this international football break, Bafana Bafana traveled to France to play the world champions in an international friendly. 65 places separated these two teams on the official FIFA rankings and ‘Le Bleus’ made sure they meant business. Unfortunately, there was a clear difference in skill level between the two teams; Bafana captain Ronwen Williams made many outstanding saves, but 5 goals were still conceded. One thing that stood out was the fact that no matter what the scoreline was, Bafana still tried to stick to their game plan. Although a few positives could be taken from the match, questions about Bafana and concerns still remain.
Soccer Laduma International correspondent Kurt Buckerfield sheds light on statements made by Barcelona President Joan Laporta and who he claims has already signed for the Catalan giants for the 2022/23 season.

After a humiliating defeat to bitter rivals Manchester City, Manchester United find themselves in even hotter water than before. A dismal defensive effort saw the Citizens crush the Red Devils 4-1. After reports suggested that Ronaldo would be benched and used as an ‘impact sub’ more information developed stating that the 5 time Ballon d’Or winner was yet again suffering from his hip flexor injury which eventually saw the player not feature on the team sheet at all. When current caretaker manager Ralf Rangnick took over, he proceeded to explain that players should stay at the club when recovering from any injuries and not fly back to their home country and it looks like Cristian Ronaldo didn’t quite get the memo. CR7 flew back to his home country in Portugal to recover, thus not even attending the Manchester Derby. Insider reports suggest that his teammates weren’t even aware of this and have expressed disappointment in the Portuguese star. CR7 recently returned to training at Carrington, with a team of security…

When it comes to financial strength, no team is as strong as Mamelodi Sundowns, especially after they splashed out over R15M on Teboho Mokoena. Does this pose the question, are Mamelodi Sundowns inflating the market? The irony? Whenever Kaizer Chiefs approach clubs to sign players, those players’ price tag gets put up astronomically, which then disadvantages the player, and also brings a sense of unfairness to Chiefs. All of this relates to the recent transfer window! Speaking on the 100th episode of the Carwash, special guest and former Mamelodi Sundowns and Bafana Bafana defender Matthew Booth compares this current Orlando Pirates team with the Downs team he played for during his second stint at Naturena. The White Knight explains that during his time there, 14 players were signed and this can cause the players to feel a major sense of 'uncomfortability.'

With the winter transfer window now closed, some of the transfers and signings that took place throughout the 31 day-period will leave some wide eyes and dropped jaws. Teams from the BPL stole the show with Tottenham Hotspur signing Rodrigo Bentancur from Juventus; Liverpool signed a bright talent from Porto in Luis Diaz. However, newly taken-over billionaires Newcastle, in no surprise, stole the show, with a whopping 5 players, with Bruno Guimaraes being the most notable. The Brazilian international is good enough to play for any team in the top 5 leagues and comfortably make the starting lineup. This singing goes to show how serious Newcastle are and how they mean business.
On the latest episode of the International News Desk, former Mamelodi Sundowns and Ajax Cape Town goalie Sean Roberts welcomes Soccer Laduma international news correspondent Kurt Buckerfield to discuss the biggest and most exciting transfer of the winter transfer window. Mason Greenwood has been the biggest topic of discussion over the past week, and an in-depth analysis into the 20-year-old situation takes place -
Pitso Mosimane’s future at Al Ahly has taken an unexpected twist after the latest comments by the club’s director of football. For the last few months, ‘Jingles’ has been negotiating a new contract with the Egyptian giants, which would see a healthy rise in pay for the South African. However, the former Mamelodi Sundowns coach’s comments on this matter have angered Al Ahly. “Regarding my contract with Al Ahly, I am not sure where we are at, we negotiated before the CAF Champions League finale against Kaizer Chiefs, before the Super Cup against Raja Casablanca, and we are negotiating now ahead of the FIFA Club World Cup,” Pitso told the Egyptian media. Speaking on the SL Podcast’s “The Carwash,” former Mamelodi Sundowns, Orlando Pirates and Bafana Bafana star Teko ‘The General’ Modise says that A Big Club Like Al Ahly, Deserves A Great Coach Like Pitso.

With the DStv Premiership transfer window wide open, all eyes are focused on Kaizer Chiefs and what their next move is. Amakhosi have been publicly vocal about the dire need to sign an out and out striker, with Victor Letsoalo high up on the Glamour Boys’ list. However, looking at the problems Chiefs are facing, forming Mamelodi Sundowns, Orlando Pirates and Bafana Bafana legend Teko Modise disagrees with Chiefs’ need for a striker. Speaking on the SL Podcast, The General states; “ [Stuart] Baxter must look at what he has already, he has really talented strikers, he must utilise them properly.” Former Mamelodi Sundowns and Ajax Cape Town goalie Sean Roberts agrees with Teko, with both suggesting that Chiefs need a defender and not a striker. However, with Samir Nurkovic returning from a lengthy injury, hopefully, the Serbian striker can add some venom into the Sowetan Giants’ attack!

When Cristiano Ronaldo returned to Old Trafford in August of 2021, emotions started pouring out amongst United fans; there was a split. Many believed that signing the 5-time Ballon d’Or winner would mean that Manchester United could challenge for the league, and evening European glory. However the other half of the fans kept scratching their head asking themselves, is this actually the right signing for the club? Since CR7’s return to the Red Devils, the Portuguese has netted 14 goals in 22 appearances, whilst providing 3 assists. This looks like he is doing his job, and although that might be true, what's happening behind the scenes has caused more of an effect, in a negative manner. Rumors are that many of the United players are angry with the fact that Ronaldo has an ‘Undroppable nature’ about him, and other stars just haven’t been able to kick into gear since CR7 made his highly anticipated return to Manchester. Interestingly enough, at this stage of the season last year, Bruno Fernades and Marcus Rashford had a combined goal tally of 26, whereas currently, their tally sits at a measly 8. Ronaldo recently held “crises talks” with his agents saying that if things at the club do not improve, he will leave.
On the first International News desk special of 2022 former Mamelodi Sundowns and Ajax Cape Town goalie Sean Roberts is joined by Soccer Laduma’s International New Correspondent Kurt Buckerfield to discuss the drama behind CR7 himself.

With all eyes focused on the UEFA Champions League round of 16 draw, some mouth-watering fixtures have been announced; most notably Paris-Saint Germain vs Real Madrid. This fixture sees former Los Blancos captain Sergio Ramos come up against his former club, Mbappe will feature against his potential future club, and of course Lionel Messi against his former rival. The draw didn’t come without drama as the ‘ball’ belonging to Manchester United was misplaced resulting in an ‘unrealistic draw.’ Many clubs showed their unhappiness due to the redraw, issuing tougher fixtures for certain clubs, such as Real Madrid who originally were drawn against Christiano Ronaldo’s first club, Sporting Lisbon. Speaking on the SL Podcast, Soccer Laduma’s International news correspondent Kurt Buckerfield claims that every UCL knockout round comes with at least a single upset and it looks like Juventus vs Villareal could be this year's upset.
On the latest episode of the Carwash (International News Desk Special), former Mamelodi Sundowns and Ajax Cape Town goalie Sean Roberts is joined by Soccer Laduma’s International news correspondent Kurt Buckerfield to discuss the dramatic UEFA Champions League Round of 16 draw which has caused an uproar with certain clubs. The gents also discuss the possibility of the Corona Virus halting the English Premier League, after they recorded the most daily positive infections (42) this week. -
Although the start of the season wasn't exactly what Kaizer Chiefs were looking for, they have picked up 9 points from their last 5 games, and they’re sitting in second place on the log, only behind a dominant Mamelodi Sundowns. Picking up a vital win [and bragging rights] against Orlando Pirates (before the International break), PSL fans were wary of the fact that Amakhosi could lose momentum upon the return of the league. However, that was not the case; picking up wins against Maritzburg United and Swallows FC. It cannot go unnoticed that Khama Billiat and Keagan Dolly have been the driving force behind Chiefs’ seasonal turnaround, with the duo linking up the midfield to the attack. Speaking on the SL Podcast, former Mamelodi Sundowns, Orlando Pirates and Bafana Bafana star Teko Modise says that ‘Chief’s season cannot be based on that victory.’ In another turn of events, Kaizer Chiefs are looking to bolster their midfield by signing former Rangers FC and current Amiens FC midfielder Bongani Zungu. Zungu represented Mamelodi Sundowns during the years 2013-2016, where he made 58 appearances. Chiefs fans will be licking their lips to get Zungu’s signature, but former Mamelodi Sundowns and Ajax Cape Town goalie Sean Roberts is scratching his head. Roberts says “You’re in Europe, you’ve done all the hard work to get there, why on earth would you come back?”
On the latest episode of The Carwash” former Mamelodi Sundowns and Ajax Cape Town goalie Sean Roberts and former Mamelodi Sundowns, Orlando Pirates and Bafana Bafana star Teko Modise discuss the recent interest Kaizer Chiefs have expressed towards Bongani Zungu.

Kurt also breaks down the interim coach that Manchester United have signed. -
It has been just over a month since Mamelodi Sundowns co-coach Rulani Mokwena addressed the media in a rage of fury; directed towards Bafana Bafana coach Hugo Broos. Coach Rulani claimed that several of their first-team regulars have returned from national team duty either injured or burnt-out, and there appears to have been no warning from the Bafana medical team. Rulani stood by his actions, stating “There is no data!” After Coach Rulani made these comments, another DStv Premiership coach came forward about a similar issue, this time in Stuart Baxter. The Kaizer Chiefs coach admitted that his gripe towards Broos was that the Bafana Bafana coach made comments about using Njabulo Ngcobo as a defender, much to Baxter’s disgust (who uses Ngcobo as a midfielder!) SAFA has now joined the party and has commented on the matter, asking Broos to ‘hash’ out these public spats with the respective coaches. Speaking on the matter, former Mamelodi Sundowns, Orlando Pirates, and Bafana star Teko Modise sides with the player in question saying “this is unfair and an insult.”
Later in the show, Roberts and Modise are joined by Soccer Laduma’s International News correspondent Kurt Buckerfield to discuss all things Manchester United after the (now) former man in charge Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was sacked from the top position earlier in the week.

In light of all of the football drama that has occurred over the past week, a story that may have slipped people's minds is that of Hlompho Kekena and Mamelodi Sundowns reaching an amicable agreement for the former captain to leave the Tswana club. Kekena first joined Sundowns in 2011, leaving Bloemfontein Celtic. Out of all of Hlompho’s appearances, none stand out more than his performance in the Sundowns vs Powerlines game, where the former Mamelodi Sundowns captain helped himself to a remarkable 7 goals; Sundowns won that game 24-0! “Kekena has shown his professionalism for years and he has been a true ambassador to the game,” says Sean Roberts. “Kekena has won 12 trophies in his ten-year spell with the Brazilians, he has been a stalwart in the team.” Included in those 12 trophies are 6 league titles and a CAF Champions League, but recently Hlompho has revealed the only regret he has: “I’m willing to trade one of my medals if anyone has. It's important for me because I have a five-year-old son who is always telling me about the MTN, so now I need to understand the feeling, I don’t know the feeling,” Hlompho quirked. Speaking on the matter, former Mamelodi Sundowns, Orlando Pirates and Bafana Bafana star, Teko Modise (current Mamelodi Sundowns ambassador) says “myself and Hlompho had conversations [that cannot be mentioned] well before anything.”
On the latest episode of The Carwash, former Mamelodi Sundowns and Ajax Cape Town goalie Sean Roberts, and former Mamelodi Sundowns, Orlando Pirates, and Bafana Bafana Star Teko Modise analyze the recent drama surrounding Bafana Bafana and Ghana after the black stars top their group in controversial fashion.

Last Friday saw an intense Cairo Derby take place between the two footballing giants of Egypt, Al Ahly and Zamalek. Given the importance and intensity of the rivalry between the two capital based sides, the match progressed from start to finish rather smoothly, except for a few minor incidents which has now seen former Mamelodi Sundowns coach Pitso Mosimane and his Al Ahly team issued fines by the Egyptian Football Association (EFA); Al Ahly came out victorious during the matchup, thrashing Zamalek 5-3. Although the fines may not seem that important, they were issued to Pitso and his coaching staff for entering the field of play while celebrating certain goals during the clash. Speaking on the SL Podcast’s ‘The Carwash,’ former Mamelodi Sundowns, Orlando Pirates and Bafana Bafana star, Teko Modise (who of course played under coach Pitso) has come out and said “If Pitso goes a season without a fine, it was a bad season.” This fine is a testimony to the passion that coach Pitso has, the drive and the will to succeed. Football comes first for Pitso and he is able to draw his team and coaching staff into his own ideologies of the game, which evidently proves to be rather successful. The fact of the matter is, Pitso doesn’t care about the fine, he cares about winning and doing well.
On the latest episode of The Carwash, former Mamelodi Sundowns and Ajax Cape Town goalie, Sean Roberts and former Mamelodi Sundowns, Orlando Pirates and Bafana Bafana star, Teko Modise discuss the latest news from the local game, with rumors of Gavin Hunt’s job being on the line after a run of poor results.

After a mouth-watering MTN8 final, which saw Mamelodi Sundowns get their hands on the trophy for the first time, the weekend directly after will bring arguably the biggest match in Africa to our screens, the Soweto Derby. This fixture is draped in history and pride with the two teams from Soweto looking to claim bragging rights. Earlier this year, it was the Buccaneers who emerged victorious after beating their neighbors 2-1 at the Orlando Stadium which means Chiefs will be itching to come out on top. The Amakhosi faithful have seen a slight turnaround in their performances with a key linkup coming into fruition with Keagan Dolly and Khama Billiat, however, a loss to a well ironed-out Stellenbosch FC this past matchday means that Chiefs will need to bounce back to the best of their ability against a Pirates side who managed to overcome Sekhukhune United 2-1.
Rumours of Rulani being offered jobs not only locally, but also out of South Africa have been circulating in the media and the Mamelodi Sundowns coach and his agent have come out and said “ Coach Rulani is focused on Sundowns''.” Speaking on the SL Podcast’s The Carwash, former Mamelodi Sundowns, Orlando Pirates and Bafana Bafana star Teko Modise says that “I Know Rulani’s Ambitions, he wants to win trophies.” Modise goes on to say “With Mokwena currently playing CAF football weekly, why would he go play games on astroturf and no shoes?”
On the latest episode of The Carwash, former Mamelodi Sundowns and Ajax Cape Town goalie Sean Roberts and former Mamelodi Sundowns, Orlando Pirates and Bafana Bafana star Teko Modise discuss the upcoming Soweto Derby after analyzing this past weekend’s MTN8 final. The gents also discuss Rulani Mokwena and the job offers he has received, on AND off our shores. -
With the return of international football, the players returning from the Bafana camps seem to be overplayed, rundown and exhausted. This is a cause for concern as these players cannot perform to the best of their abilities when representing their respective clubs. Current head coach of current DStv Premiership log leaders and title holders Mamelodi Sundowns Rulani Mokwena recently came out and claimed that several of his first-team regulars returned from International duties being burnt-out or injured with no warning from the Bafana medical team. In a direct quote, Mokwena says “ With the Bafana players, it’s a very difficult situation. We can’t even communicate with the medical department, we don’t know the itinerary of Bafana, we don’t know the training program.” Speaking on the Sl Podcast’s The Carwash, former Orlando Pirates, Mamelodi Sundowns, and Bafana Bafana star, Teko Modise agrees with Rulani Mokwena and expresses confusion towards the Bafana camp. “Why are the players doing fitness tests when on International duty?” He continues to go on by saying that “Surely if you’ve been selected for the International team, you should be fit?”
Staying local, but venturing out of South Africa into Egypt, former Mamelodi Sundowns coach, and serial title winner, Pitso Mosimane has recently come out and spoke to the press about Al Ahly’s decision ti allow him to see out his R54million-a-season contract. By remaining at the Egyptian giants for as long as he has, coach Pitso has become the first coach in five years to be in the hot seat for longer than a year.
On the latest episode of The Carwash, former Mamelodi Sundowns and Ajax Cape Town goalie Sean Roberts sits down with former Orlando Pirates, Mamelodi Sundowns, and Bafana Bafana star Teko Modise to discuss the current state of footballers who return to their clubs after international duties.
