David Luiz, the foremost offensive center back in the world, is returning from whence he came. Luiz is reported moving back to Chelsea from PSG, reversing the move he made in 2014.
We could not be happier about this, as Luiz is one of the most entertaining players in the game. His unique skill set (for a center back) guarantees you one thing: there will be goals.
Having fallen down the midfield pecking order at Arsenal, Jack Wilshere reportedly demanded a loan move during crisis talks with manager Arsene Wenger. Dropped from the England squad for their upcoming World Cup qualifiers by recently appointed manager Sam Allardyce, Wilshere rightly realized that he needed more minutes to win back his international place.
Goals from midfield aren’t all created equal. Sure, they all involve one player absolutely hammering the ball from over 40 yards out, but it’s the intricacies of the attempt that surely separate one from the next. Where was the goalkeeper positioned? With how much pace and accuracy was the shot hit? What were the circumstances surrounding the goal/what was the significance of the match?
Bearing these questions in mind, here are the top three long range goals of all-time.
England will face Slovakia in a World Cup qualifier on Sept. 4 in a game that doubles as Big Sam Allardyce's debut as England manager. Let's take a look at the 23 players Allardyce has picked for his squad.
We’re three weeks into the Premier League season and a quick glance at the table confirms some of the more common preseason predictions. Manchester United appear to be a much stronger club, Chelsea have returned to winning ways and Manchester City are likely the title favorites.
We interrupt your reading of Christian Pulisic transfer rumors to bring you another Christian Pulisic transfer rumor.
This one brought to you courtesy of Liverpool, who are coached by former Borussia Dortmund manager (who was manager when Dortmund signed Pulisic) Jurgen Klopp.
Liverpool have made an £11m offer for Christian Pulisic, Borussia Dortmund's 17-year-old winger.
For many, Bastian Schweinsteiger will always be synonymous with the new German side that dazzled at the 2006 World Cup with childlike enthusiasm. The 21-year-old's performance, along with the likes of Philipp Lahm and Lukas Podolski, foreshadowed a period of German brilliance that would reach its zenith at the 2014 World Cup.
New Aston Villa chairman and CEO Dr. Tony Xia has made a bit of a name for himself on Twitter, and he's kept the ball rolling with a post quoting Chairman Mao, the former leager of the Peoples Republic of Chine.
Dr. Tony's got the cure for what ails you and it's communism.
Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has a map in his office. It is a map of England. It is there so he can figure out where the different clubs in England are actually located. We know he has this map because Gary Lineker pointed it out while filming a video for the BBC.
You would think 40 seconds of Jurgen Klopp talking about maps would be boring. You would be wrong.
The 2016-17 Premier League is the “Year of the Manager.” Some of the world’s most famous, eccentric and respected managers have come to England in search of glory. Pep Guardiola, Jose Mourinho, Antonio Conte, Jurgen Klopp and Arsene Wenger are all elite level managers who have won major trophies throughout Europe. Through tactics, man-management and mind games only one deserving manager will lift the Premier League trophy in May.
Or maybe none of the aforementioned managers will lift the trophy.
