The Melbourne Derby Was Wild As Hell

Holy Shit, Christen Press's First Touch Will Make Your Knees Buckle
Oh my god look at this first touch from Christen Press.

What inspired Maude Perchey of Rouen and Bordeaux’s Eva Sumo to cease competing against one another within the strictures of soccer’s rule book and instead elect to get into some gangsta shit, we don’t know.

Liverpool Fan Cannot Fookin' Believe The Club's New Ticket Prices
You could spend hours reading various takes about why Liverpool’s board has seen fit to increase their stadium ticket prices, why fans are upset about this, and the relative merits of both sides.

Goddammit, Benteke, Again?!?
If you can’t tell from the angle above, that is Liverpool’s Christian Benteke bearing down on West Ham’s goalkeeper in extra time of their FA Cup replay. If you know anything about the striker in question, you can guess what happened next:...
Paul Pogba Went And Got A Damn Poké Ball Cut Into His Head
