Today, <em>El Clásico</em> Is The Only Thing That Matters
For as world-stoppingly important as it feels every time Real Madrid and Barcelona take the pitch against one another, we've actually become a bit inured to them over the years.

This Ridiculous Érik Lamela Goal Will Make You Feel Things
OK. Forget the stakes for a second. Forget that these are two bored teams playing in a second-tier tournament.

Paris Saint-Germain Are Bullshit
We can't keep letting PSG do this. Yesterday, the French giants took on Cyprian giants/world ants APOEL in Champions League play. This was a match even schizophrenic PSG couldn't muck up, right?

Bayern Munich Are Beating The Motherfucking Brakes Off AS Roma [Update]
This wasn't supposed to happen.

Report: To Escape Qatari Heat, World Cup Matches Might Start At 1 A.M.

How Homegrown Stars Like Gyasi Zardes Are Transforming MLS
Gyasi Zardes is one the best attacking players in MLS right now, and he is neither a wrung-out superstar cashing in chips on an American soccer vacation nor a USMNT star boomeranging back home for regular playing time.
