“Ted Lasso” stole our hearts last year with a heartwarming comedy starring Jason Sudeikis as a clueless American football coach taking over a Premier League club. Now the show is coming for our wallets. While unofficial Ted Lasso merch has been popping up on sites like Amazon and Etsy, official merchandise will be coming soon.
On Saturday, Christian Pulisic became the first U.S. male to play in the Champions League final and lift the trophy. As expected, the 2021 Champions League Final TV ratings received a huge boost thanks to his inclusion (not to mention Zack Steffen on the opposing bench). But Chelsea’s 1-0 win over Manchester City on CBS wasn’t the highest-rated soccer match on U.S. TV this past weekend.
"Ni un puto día dejé de pagarles a ustedes ni un puto centavo". La frase es del fallecido dirigente Jorge Vergara y es parte de la explosiva apertura que tiene el trailer de "Chivas: Rebaño Sagrado", la docuserie del equipo mexicano que se estrena el próximo 18 de junio en Amazon Prime Video.
La producción contará con cuatro episodios de una hora y se sumergirá en la tormentosa intimidad del club tapatío.
It was a foggy Saturday morning soccer match and I was defending the goal spectating the action going on the field. I had stopped a few shots earlier in the match and my confidence was quickly rising. Thoughts raced through my head, realizing that I was about to officially record my first clean sheet of the season. Then as clear as day the ball was passed to me, and as I went to stop it with my foot it slowly but surely skipped right below my outstretched foot and into the awaiting net behind me.
Six months have passed since that tragic Nov. 25, 2020, the day Diego Maradona passed away. Diego Armando Maradona's death has more and more shadows.
In his last days, the Argentinean star consumed a cocktail of antidepressants and antipsychotics that, mixed with alcohol, could have seriously damaged his health and even cost him his life. That is the conclusion of the medical board's report delivered to the Prosecutor's Office on the occasion of the investigation opened for his death.
If you missed the Alex Morgan Ted Lasso celebration from Saturday night, then you’re in luck.
Morgan and the Orlando Pride took down the North Carolina Courage 2-1 on the field and 1-0 in the celebration department. With the Pride leading 1-0 in a hotly contested game, Morgan gave her side breathing space with a cool finish in the 79th minute. The USWNT star then dazzled the audience with a celebration from Apple TV+ hit show “Ted Lasso.”
On Sunday, beIN SPORTS broadcast its final LaLiga matches. Next season, ESPN will take over the U.S. TV rights to Spain’s top flight, ending a nine-year stretch where beIN SPORTS was the only way to watch Lionel Messi every week in the States. More than that, it’s the end of an era for Ray Hudson, who remains the only person who has yet to run out of words to describe Messi’s indescribable brilliance.
Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, two of the funniest dudes around, have no shortage of career options. For some reason, they’re using their talents to create a documentary series on the Welsh soccer club the actors recently bought. “Welcome to Wrexham” will follow the comedic actors as co-chairs of Wrexham AFC, a club currently in England’s fifth tier.
Ted Lasso continues to steal our hearts, even when Jason Sudeikis isn’t around. The recent exploits of Lasso’s AFC Richmond caught the eye of an oblivious reporter, and many people are actually wondering: Is Dani Rojas real?
Rojas, the starlet who captivated as AFC Richmond’s Mexican striker last year, was spotted with his Richmond teammates outside Wembley Stadium after Saturday’s FA Cup final. Asked to do an interview by a local reporter, the entire squad joined in to promote the lad.
I’m not a podcast person. I listened to Season 1 of Serial on a road trip and only finished it because I was on a road trip. I then avoided the format for like six years until Grant Wahl’s American Prodigy: Freddy Adu, because I need to know where my son Freddy is and what he’s doing at all times.
But I’m back at it with The Crack Podcast, which I started simply because I love DaMarcus Beasley and Oguchi Onyewu, but I continue because it’s hilarious, informative and generally fucking excellent.
