Gareth Bale's Still Got It
It’s more than a little insane to think that Gareth Bale—after four seasons at Real Madrid in which he has played 150 matches and amassed a mind-boggling combined 118 goals and assists, in that time asserting himself as a perennial top 10 player in the world with an unrivaled combination of speed an...

Probably the most astounding part of Barcelona’s world-historic Messi-Suárez-Neymar attacking line—even more so than all the tricks and flicks and assists and goals—was how well all three got along.

Michael Bradley And Christian Pulisic Are Unimpressed With Alexi Lalas's Shit Talk
Alexi Lalas barred up the entire USMNT on TV this past weekend, which was great and deserved and frankly overdue. Lalas’s brief rant included clear shots at a number of national teamers, but his barbs aimed at Michael Bradley and Christian Pulisic were arguably the most pointed. Bradley and Pulisic ...
Arsenal, England Owned By Rowdy Germans
Hot, steamy Europa League action kicks off this afternoon, and the formerly great Premier League club Arsenal’s first opponent will be the German Bundesliga’s FC Koln, whose fans took an approximately 600 kilometer trip on a Thursday in order to completely overtake the streets of London.

Jürgen Klopp Left Extremely Confused By Bizarre Beef Between Him And Sevilla Coaches
I should admit up front that the following beef between Liverpool manager Jürgen Klopp and his coaching counterparts on Sevilla’s bench doesn’t make total sense, but the strange, match-long affair does involve Sevilla’s manager twice playing keepaway with a Liverpool player, him getting sent off for...
Carlos Tevez Is Homesick And Too Chubby To Play
The promise of $40 million is an eye-popping figure that would push anyone into an unfamiliar situation, and for former international superstar Carlos Tevez, that kind of money was even enough to get him out of what seemed like a perfect fit and over to China. In January, Tevez left his boyhood club...

Tottenham And Dortmund Are Throwing A Golazo Party
Everyone knew today’s Tottenham-Borussia Dortmund match was going to be the one to watch even before the games kicked off, seeing how good and evenly matched both teams are.

Marco Asensio Will Miss Champions League Match After Hurting Himself Shaving His Legs
In a recent interview, Real Madrid’s Marco Asensio recalled that manager Zinedine Zidane once told him that the wonderkid was in possession of the best left foot since Lionel Messi’s.

The World Needs Manchester City To Free Leroy Sané
This weekend’s Manchester City-Liverpool match was all set to be the game of the week and maybe even one of the games of the season, but then Sadio Mané got sent off towards the end of the first half for nearly embedding the studs of his right boot into Ederson’s skull, and right then and there the ...
Alexi Lalas Berates The Entire USMNT
Most domestic TV coverage of the USMNT is frustratingly friendly to the national team, and it’s rare to hear much cutting criticism, even when the team is playing like shit (which it is right now). Sunday night, however, one of the team’s biggest TV cheerleaders turned all his energy back on the squ...
The Raiders' New Kicker Made History And Referenced Aristotle
Longtime Raiders kicker Sebastian Janikowski is gone for at least half of the season with a back injury and restructured contract. His injury gave Giorgio Tavecchio an opportunity in Oakland’s season opener against the Titans, and he was perfect in his debut....
The English Premier League Is Dumb And Ruthless
Proud Americans were disappointed last season when Bob Bradley—the coach we hoped would be the Christian Pulisic of American managers, but turned out more like the coaching game’s Julian Green—was unceremoniously ousted from his coaching position at Swansea City after only 11 matches in charge. So C...
