Toni Kroos's Last-Second Goal Looks Even More Incredible From This Alternate Angle

Chicharito Earned Those Tears
Javier “Chicharito” Hernández was not the best Mexican player on the field in Sunday’s World Cup match against Germany.

Less than one year ago, Twins slugger Miguel Sano was busy bonking baseballs out of the yard and looking like one of the best young sluggers in the league.
