Mexico defeat Suriname to reach Gold Cup knockouts
Mexico found it tough but ultimately defeated Suriname to advance to the quarter-finals of the Gold Cup. Scorers: Montes 57', 63' It was a frustrating first-half for the Mexicans as they struggled to create quality chances despite having two thirds of possession. Advertisement Eventually, Mexico broke the deadlock as César Montes was left completely unmarked on a corner, scoring a well-placed header without even needing to jump. Minutes later, Mexico doubled their lead with another goal from a corner. This time, Montes' header deflected back to him off a Suriname defender, allowing Montes to tap in his second goal of the match. Notably, four of Mexico's five Gold Cup goals have been scored directly off of corners. At full-time, Mexico joined Costa Rica in the Gold Cup knockout stage, while Suriname were eliminated with two losses. Javier Aguirre's side will finish top of Group A with a victory against Costa Rica on Sunday. 📸 Omar Vega - 2025 Getty Images

Report: Burnley Close to Hiring Ex-Liverpool Coach
Burnley's Ambitious Move: Matt Beard in Advanced Talks Over Women's Team Role Statement of Intent from a Club on the Rise Burnley are showing serious ambition as they prepare for life as a fully professional outfit in the women's game. According to The Guardian, the Clarets are 'in advanced talks with the former Liverpool manager Matt Beard about their women's team's head coach role.' Advertisement The potential appointment of Beard, a two-time Women's Super League champion with Liverpool, could be a game-changer for a club currently operating in the third tier of women's football in England. As The Guardian further notes, 'it is understood the club are close to a deal with the 47-year-old in what would be a big statement of intent.' Beard's Anfield Legacy – Mixed but Meaningful While Matt Beard's most recent spell at Liverpool ended in February under a cloud of inconsistency, his overall contribution to the club's women's side deserves respect. His second stint included leading Liverpool back into the WSL in 2022, although the momentum stalled this past season. The Reds finished seventh, nine points clear of relegation, yet a considerable 15 points away from European qualification. Still, Beard's earlier tenure remains his standout contribution. He famously guided Liverpool Women to consecutive WSL titles in 2013 and 2014 – a golden era for the club. That pedigree, combined with recent experience managing a team in transition, makes him a seasoned candidate to lead Burnley into this next chapter. Burnley's Rise and the Push for Professionalism Burnley's move to become a fully professional women's team next season marks a significant step forward. It mirrors the broader trend in women's football where clubs are investing in infrastructure and experience to elevate their programmes. Hiring someone of Beard's calibre would be a clear statement that Burnley are not content to merely compete—they intend to challenge. Advertisement With clubs like Newcastle United Women and Southampton FC Women already investing heavily in their squads and backroom teams, Burnley seem determined not to be left behind. The pursuit of a proven winner signals a desire to fast-track their ascent. Our View – Anfield Index Analysis From a Liverpool supporter's standpoint, Matt Beard's potential move to Burnley is bittersweet. On one hand, his departure marked a natural end to a chapter that wasn't delivering the expected progress. On the other, Beard is a part of Liverpool Women's history, and his achievements—especially those title-winning seasons—should not be forgotten. For Burnley, this could be a masterstroke. They are preparing for the demands of professionalism, and in Beard they might gain a coach who understands how to build a culture of winning. The WSL is evolving rapidly, and success is no longer purely about resources—it's about long-term planning, recruitment, and leadership. Beard ticks those boxes. If the deal goes through, many Reds fans will be watching his progress with interest. After all, football is a small world, and the women's game is increasingly interconnected. Beard taking Burnley up the divisions would not only be a story of redemption for him but a reflection of how the ecosystem of English women's football continues to mature.
