This was a week for transfers... but there are a few stray games involving kiwi footballers sprinkled in here. Like, for instance, another silky victory for Joe Bell’s Viking FK as they continue to hang out at the very top of the Eliteserien.

Gabi Rennie was in a generous mood for Eskilstuna United’s penultimate game before the summer break. She didn’t score as Esky won 4-0 against Gamla Upsala, instead she simply set all four of them up.

Even in what ought to be a down week, with most European seasons wrapped up and the women all on an international break, the Flying Kiwis shelves can still produce bangers like this

It all came down to this. Nottingham Forest versus Chelsea on the final day of the season with Champions League football on the line. It’s a situation that would have been inconceivable to Forest fans at the beginning of the campaign.

Hold the phone... Empoli won another game of football! They went twenty games on the trot without winning in Serie A but suddenly they’ve grabbed two in a row just in time to give them renewed hope of avoiding relegation.

Callum McCowatt might be in the form of his life right now. He’s had other spells in his career where he’s become unstoppable, quite a few of them actually, but surely none as significant as this current spell.

It’s hard to imagine how the last few weeks could have gone any better for Finn Surman. He may have had some reluctance about skipping out on the last All Whites tour but it’s proven to be the best thing for him.

Macey Fraser didn’t join the Royals until after their 2024 campaign had already begun due to the overlap with her Wellington Phoenix season, very quickly made a positive impact for struggling team, and then promptly hurt her ankle

Michael Boxall, aged 36, is laying down bars in interviews. There’s no stopping the bloke. It only took him two attempts to waltz into an MLS Team of the Week selection and now he’s done it twice in a row

Empoli Football Club had failed to win any of their previous 11 Serie A matches, dropping into the relegation zone as a consequence, when they lined up for a Coppa Italia clash with heavyweights Juventus
