Eat Shit, Real Madrid! You Aren’t Getting Neymar!
Real Madrid are at a crossroads.

Leicester City Can't Really Be This Good, Can They?
This truly is madness. Coming into this weekend, a third of the way through the Premier League season, the team sitting atop the table wasn’t the reigning champions Chelsea, nor the rich and stacked squad in Manchester City, or even Arsenal, enjoying their most promising season in forever.

It's Barcelona's And Bayern Munich's World, Everyone Else Is Just Living In It
This weekend, Barcelona entered the stadium of the biggest club in the world and took on its starting lineup with a higher collective Q-Score than the cast of Ocean’s Eleven.

Props to BT Sport’s Reshmin Chowdhury for the quick rebound following her moment of spiritual distress, but even more props to the cameraman for not reminding her it was live....
Florentino Pérez Is What's Wrong With Real Madrid
After seeing how summarily Barcelona dispensed with Real Madrid, the temptation is to lay the blame at the feet of their first-year manager, Rafa Benítez. That seems to be the way club president Florentino Pérez is leaning. (Benítez has even received the dreaded vote of confidence! The end is nigh!)...
Sergi Roberto's Stunning Emergence Proves Barcelona Are Firing On All Cylinders
Of everything that happened in this Clásico—a half-strength Barcelona waltzing into the Bernabéu and not only beating a full-strength Real Madrid team that desperately needed a win, but pummeling them in gloriously humiliating fashion; the notoriously careful Rafa Benítez basically being pressured b...

Soccer Star Gets Police Called On Him By People Thinking He Was A Terrorist
It’s perfectly understandable how one might look at Radja Nainggolan and imagine him a strange character. It’s also understandable why one might hold the belief that he should be locked up for his numerous assaults on opposing players’ legs. What isn’t so reasonable is seeing the Roma midfielder jus...

Shit-Talking Commentator Gets A Red Card
You don’t really need a translation of these commentators’ remarks to understand why the referee in a Costa Rican second division match jogged over to the sideline and kicked one of them out. The audible exasperation with which they use words like “malísimo,” “terrible,” and “ridículo” makes it all ...
Arsenal Fan Idris Elba Loves Laughing At Sorry-Ass Chelsea As Much As We Do
Idris Elba is from London. Thus, he’s an Arsenal fan. Because his team has been cast over the past decade as The Big Engine That Can’t, he’s had to endure repeated humiliations and ridicule at the hands of the Gunners’ rivals. Now that the shoe’s on the other foot with regards to Chelsea’s God-forsa...
Why Did Turkish Soccer Fans Boo During A Moment Of Silence For The Paris Attacks?
As with many of yesterday’s international soccer matches, Turkey-Greece began with a moment of silence in remembrance of the victims of the terrorist attacks in Paris last week. Things quickly went off the rails, when the home Turkish fans interrupted the silence with boos and chants. But it might n...
Zlatan Kills Denmark On The Field, Then Torches Them With Sick Burn
This version of Zlatan Ibrahimović is older and worse than the one we loved and feared. Not that a little thing like age could keep him from stomping out Denmark on his way to qualifying for Euro 2016, and dancing over the body in an interview after....
David Moyes Was Dumb Enough To Turn Down Other Jobs Before Getting Canned In Spain
As should’ve been glaringly obvious to anyone paying attention, the countdown on the “When Will David Moyes Get Fired From Real Sociedad, Because This Is Definitely Not Gonna Work Out” clock started ticking towards the final stages of last season. Somehow Moyes himself couldn’t hear the ticking, so ...
