The San Diego Football Club Sentinel
Boardroom14 Dec 2026
San Diego Football Club book their European place
Done, and with games to spare. Next season has floodlit nights against clubs from other countries in it, and the accounts have a line they did not have last year.
Match14 Dec 2026
San Diego Football Club refuse to drop out of the race
Position 3, 18 points, and the result everyone checks first is now theirs. The word is still not being said around the ground, which is how you know everyone is thinking it.
Squad14 Dec 2026
A falling-out at San Diego Football Club
Elias Achouri and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.
Squad14 Dec 2026
Anisse Saidi is a better footballer than he was
Not a run of form — an actual step up, held for months. At 18 he is doing things at this level he could not do at the start of the season, and the coaching staff will tell you exactly which of them.

Aníbal Godoy knocks on the manager's door
“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at San Diego Football Club, and both men came out saying it was fine.
Market14 Dec 2026
The CJ dos Santos story refuses to die
It has been denied twice and printed three times, which is the usual arithmetic. Until CJ dos Santos signs something — a contract at San Diego Football Club or anywhere else — this column belongs to him.

Pablo Sisniega gets picked when it counts
Every manager keeps a short list in his head of the men he wants on the pitch when the stakes rise, and it is never published. The team sheets for the big afternoons say Pablo Sisniega is on it.
Squad14 Dec 2026
Kieran Sargeant: “I am not a substitute”
“I have done everything asked of me in training and it has not changed a thing on a Saturday.” The most familiar complaint in football, and one San Diego Football Club will have to answer with minutes or with a transfer.

The manager makes Michael Creek a promise
Nothing in writing and nothing in public: a word about playing time, given face to face at San Diego Football Club. The team sheets over the next month will show whether it was worth having.
