Beginning Friday, March 20, at 3:00 p.m. ET, you’ll be able to watch the premiere of FIFA’s 2018 World Cup Official Film on YouTube. Since 1954, FIFA has sanctioned an official documentary film for each World Cup, and although the 2018 edition has been available on Amazon Prime Video for some time, Friday will mark its free launch on YouTube.

The documentary features incredible footage of the event which only FIFA can provide, and it takes an in-depth look at tournament stars like Paul Pogba, Luka Modric and Cristiano Ronaldo while the narration is provided by Damian Lewis.

In these troubling times of self-isolation and social distancing, many soccer stars are showcasing either their toilet-paper juggling skills or some home workouts, showing their readiness to return to the pitch.

Chelsea Women defender Maria Thorisdottir was the latest to take her shot at a work out video.

But her golden retriever, Theo, had other plans.

No match is complete without a world-renowned broadcaster on the call. While footballers are finding ways to stay fit and in top-form during this break, commentators are doing the same. One of the best examples is this hilarious update from Clive Tyldesley's kitchen.

I thought the Spanish had settled that debate when, over in Seville, they started playing bingo…

Tired of video games and Netflix yet? Probably not, but if you’re looking to compliment your TV viewing experience with something crafty, AS Roma’s Twitter team has just the thing: free coloring pages featuring Marshmello, Snoop Dogg, Lil Nas X, A$AP Rocky and Beyonce. 

The U.S. vs. Portugal at the 2002 World Cup was one of the best games in men's national team history. With all this talk about the coronavirus crippling the economy and, more importantly, my soccer TV viewing schedule, I figured we could all use a little pick-me-up to get us through the rest of the week.

This game has to be the second most exhilarating game in USMNT history, at least of recent (maybe not so recent) memory. 

In 2019, MLS reintroduced the skills challenge to the All-Star game and it proved to be quite successful. The skills included shooting, volleys and passing contested between host Orlando City SC, the MLS All-Stars and Atletico Madrid. This year a crossbar challenge and first-touch challenge will be the new additions to the 2020 MLS All-Star Skills Challenge.

Whether you’re watching, playing or officiating, soccer is a physical sport full of human-to-human contact. In addition to the action on the pitch, players and fans exchange handshakes, high-fives, hugs and more during the course of a game. 

With this damn virus making the headlines every single day, it’s hard not to get exhausted from hearing about Coronavirus. One person not showing any signs of exhaustion is the RC Lens announcer who will do his job to the bitter end.
