Iranian Official: Women Will Not Be Allowed Into Soccer Stadiums Again Because "Half-Naked" Athletes Will Make Them Too Horny

Maybe Paco Alcácer Sold His Soul To The Devil For The Power To Score Whenever He Wants
Though Paco Alcácer’s goal today came when Spain were already down big in their UEFA Nations League match against England, the weight of the scoreline was never going to keep the corners of his mouth from turning upward in delight. Alcácer had stepped over the sideline and into a 3-0 hiding in the 5...
One Of The World's Worst Soccer Teams Scores One Of Its Best Ever Goals
The history of the Montserrat soccer team is brief and inglorious.

We are...
Look! On The Pitch! It's Messi! It's Ronaldo! It's A Goalie Goal!
If you’re going to score a goal as a keeper, you might as well be like KRC Gent’s Kevin Frans in Belgium’s fourth division yesterday and make it a stoppage time, point-saving wonder strike of an overhead kick.

Usain Bolt, Aspiring Soccer Player, Scores Two Goals In His First Start

Chelsea's New Plan For Dealing With Racist Fans: Send Them To Auschwitz
Racism and soccer go together like peas and carrots, or like cigarettes and lung cancer.

Happy One-Year Anniversary To This Bullshit
Has it already been a year? It seems like just yesterday I was watching wonderteen Christian Pulisic, now a wonderman, sob tears of abject despair and humiliation on a ratty old pitch after being knocked out of the World Cup qualifying rounds by Trinidad and Tobago. Let us take a trip down memory la...
Italy Set To Unleash Lasagna Upon Poland
Italy’s pantry of attacking players has long been worryingly bare, and with the recent injury to striker Simone Zaza, national team manager Roberto Mancini was practically starved for a new flavor to add to the mix.

That was the case for yesterday’s hyped-up Liverpool vs. Manchester City match, a clash that had everyone who’d tuned in giddy to watc...
The USWNT Looks As Good As Ever And Is Rolling Toward The World Cup
CARY, N.C. — How are we not talking about this team all the time? Sustained dominance is easy to take for granted, sure. And as far as it has come in recent decades soccer still isn’t close to leading the sports conversation in the USA. These are answers, and they aren’t wrong, but they mostly evade...
This Is The Greatest Penalty Kick Of All Time
I know what you’re thinking. How can a penalty kick, even the most conceivably perfect one, be unique or memorable enough to be called the greatest? Trust me, you’ll think differently once you watch what Norik Avdalyan of Rubin Kazan’s reserve team did here:...
Arsenal Needed Just 15 Seconds To Craft The Best Team Goal Of The Season
