Amazing

As with every year, the new release of FIFA is a big deal in the soccer community. No sport more closely identifies with its video game counterpart than soccer, and this year’s edition will be no different. EA Sports announced Friday it’s going all out to give gamers the authentic LaLiga experience, but a look at some of the FIFA 19 stadiums reveals one major venue was left out.

FIFA 19 will add 16 new stadiums and more than 200 new headscans just for LaLiga. Here’s a hype video/trailer to get you excited to play as a Ronaldo-less Real Madrid.

Injury time in football has quite the absurd definition given its similarity to stoppage time. So what is injury time in soccer?

In stoppage time, non-playing time is summed up more or less and then declared before the end of a half.

Stoppage time — when fans and players frantically lose their minds as everyone scurries for a goal or to confront the referee. Nonetheless, what is stoppage time?

Alphonso Davies made his MLS All-Star Game debut a couple weeks ago. It’s likely to be his last, at least for a while, but it was a memorable one. 

Tottenham scraped past Newcastle United 2-1 in its opening match of the 2018-19 Premier League season, but it wasn’t just the game, or the lack of transfers from Spurs, that had everyone talking. Instead, it was the goal celebration from Dele Alli, which has given rise to the Dele Alli challenge. 

His goal restored the lead for Tottenham, and despite it being a pretty neat header, his celebration was the focus. Fans and footballers (and even managers) alike have tried to do it, and many have failed.

How long is extra time in soccer? It's a question often asked by the sly neighborhood kid after realizing his or her team is losing. It’s the same kid who owns the ball and threatens to take the ball back inside and end all the fun. Luckily for you, we went the extra mile to explain this seemingly intuitive question, and for anyone who doesn’t know this already: you're not a noob, not at all.

People buy the new FIFA games each year for a number of reasons. It might be the new modes (this year has plenty of awesome kick-off modes), the chance to rep as Alex Hunter in The Journey or to play with new players and kits.

The game of soccer brings together people from all over the world. It is a universal language, with a ball being the only word you need. Whether it is just a pick-up game in a park, playing competitively or watching a game with some friends, soccer is so much more than just a sport.

Today, soccer is all about the skill and speed. We are fortunate, to say the least, to live in an era where Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi are playing at the same time and treating us all to a masterclass of the sport every time they take to the pitch. 

Do you know the true soccer meaning? It is quite the question. But we have the answer for you.

To give you a bit of context, we throw it back to England in the olden days. Not the days of everyone writing and speaking like that Shakespeare nutter, but the times before you and I were born.

Most British kids back then enjoyed nicknaming just about everything (and still do). Whether it was breakfast (brekker), bonfires (bonners) or rugby (rugger), everything had to have an “-er” on the end of the word. No one really knows why, but that’s the way it was.
