French Media Calls In Body Language Expert To Divine Ronaldo's Secret Intentions

Fallen Striker Edinson Cavani Spasms His Way Out Of A Goal
Edinson Cavani was once one of Europe’s most fearsome strikers, coveted the world over thanks to his domination of Serie A for Napoli.

Zlatan Books Entire Town Square So Fans Can Watch Him Beat Down On His Old Team
Soccer has taken Zlatan Ibrahimović (or is it the other way around?) all around the world. From Paris to Barcelona to Turin to Milan and beyond, Zlatan came, saw, and conquered many of Europe’s greatest cities.

Man, Soccer Dudes (Zlatan Excluded) Really Suck At Basketball
I’d understand the sheer ineptitude on display here and the failure to even appear to know what that silly American sport is supposed to look like if we were talking football, but PSG’s players can’t even mimic basketball right? These dudes are out here celebrating lay ups as if they were windmill d...

After a cagey start to today's Champions League headliner—Paris Saint-Germain vs. Chelsea—the Londoners dusted off some of the silky skills they've shown all season.

As we've seen, for even the smallest of perceived slights, Zlatan Ibrahimović has the power to liquefy his enemies with a mere look or gesture. This journalist is his latest victim, and he managed only one even-spoken question before Zlatan's response turned him into a stammering schoolboy....
This Paris Saint-Germain Goal Will Make You Want To Have Sex With It
Paris Saint-Germain are playing Stade Rennais right now. They're up 1-0 because they scored a goal that is pornographic in nature and should be only watched at home, in bed, with lotion close at hand, and Poliça playing softly through your computer's speakers. Here is that goal:...
Zach Parise Suffers Puck To The Face, Picks Up Tooth Off Ice
I know it is uncool for hockey men to wear facemasks or visors, but it seems like a really smart idea.
