England's Worst, Most Snooze-Worthy Teams: Our 2017-18 Premier League Preview, Pt. 1
Some watch the Premier League for the artistry and high-level play that only megastars like Alexis Sánchez and Eden Hazard can provide. Others watch for the drama of stressed-out, egomaniacal coaches yelling at everyone—at each other, at the referees, at God, at the sport itself, at their players, a...
MLS's Anti-Ambition Disease Is Now Infecting Mexicans
Back when MLS was primarily a retirement league where the geriatric greats of the good leagues in Europe could count on a fat check to jog circles around a collection of useless American never-wills until they got too bored and formally retired, the league was a sorry spectacle, to be sure, but most...

Is Gareth Bale Even Worth It?
Gareth Bale, once the assumed heir to Cristiano Ronaldo’s throne at Real Madrid, is now at risk of becoming an afterthought.

Slaving, Terrorism-Supporting Country's Wildly Expensive PR Campaign Is Far From Over
Qatar is a tiny, obscenely wealthy country/U.S. military base in the Persian Gulf that has, justifiably so, become synonymous of late with dynastic oligarchism, shameless venality, modern-day slavery, and financial support for Islamist terrorism. This, it probably goes without saying, isn’t quite t...
Didier Drogba Scores Great Goal Against Scrubbiest Scrubs Imaginable
Technically, this is still a highlight because it’s Didier Drogba scoring an absolute scorcher of a free kick from way far out that probably would’ve flown into the net had he been back in a Chelsea shirt facing like Jordan Pickford or something. However, it’s also kind of a lowlight because it’s Di...

Adorable Little Doggie Mascots Are The Best Mascots

Chelsea Help Out An Old Friend, Send Nemanja Matić To Manchester United
One of the reasons why the Premier League has been so evenly matched in the past few years is that rarely will the biggest teams move their stars anywhere but out of England. If a club has a top-tier player who wants to split town or needs to make the next step up, they’ll try their hardest to ship ...
