What FIFA And The Cameroon National Team Are Doing To Joël Matip Is A Travesty<em></em>
Sepp Blatter may have been ousted from the corrupt and labyrinthine bureaucracy he constructed out of the billions of dollars that FIFA funnels in from the world’s love of soccer, but lest you worry that the organization isn’t as perplexingly, exasperatingly stupid as before, we have the case of Liv...
Liverpool Are A Tank, And Adam Lallana Is The Engine<em></em>
It would be hard to argue that Adam Lallana is Liverpool’s best player.

Daniel Sturridge Stars In Hilarious Liverpool Rap Trivia Video

The Premier League Kind Of Sucks Right Now And It's Awesome
It would not be an overstatement to call this Premier League season the most anticipated one in years.

Mario Balotelli’s career may be in shambles, as one of the most talented young forwards in the world languishes alongside the teens that make up Liverpool’s reserve team as the club desperately searches for some sucker to offload him on, but hey, at least he still does funny things from time to time...

Remember When Eden Hazard Did Dope Shit Like This All The Time?
It was only a year ago when Eden Hazard, the pearl of the Chelsea juggernaut that cruised to the title, was skipping and shimmying his way past Premier League defenses with the rakish spirit and effortless grace of one of those dancing tough guys in West Side Story. This year, for both Hazard and hi...
Liverpool And Jürgen Klopp Share A Beautiful Love
On top of the simple coup that was Liverpool—a hobbled giant with more history and entitlement-fueled expectations than recent glory or near-term promise—nabbing one of the handful of truly special managers in the game, a big part of what made hiring Jürgen Klopp to take over at Anfield such a tanta...
Liverpool Can Make Liverpool Great Again With Just One More Win
Over the past decade, Liverpool have slid from Europe’s elite into the second tier.

Liverpool Just Came Back To Beat Borussia Dortmund In An Insane Goal-Fest
