The United States has never had a strong foothold in European soccer, much less the English Premier League. However, this year has seen a bit of shift — a revolution if you will — with Americans playing in England's first division at a tremendous rate. No team has made more waves than Leeds United.
Following Manchester United’s dismal opening-day defeat at home to Brighton, United’s fans have made their frustration and anger known online. For quite some time the fanbase has been upset with the club's ownership, but a recent movement on Twitter is hoping to use social media to send a public message.

Los sueños del PSV de meterse a la fase de grupos de la Champions League 2022-23 están más vivos que nunca y mucho tiene que ver en eso el mexicano Erick Gutiérrez, quien con un cabezazo agónico y salvador reanimó a su equipo cuando las esperanzas parecían perdidas.
El club neerlandés necesitaba un triunfo por cualquier marcador para sacar del camino al AS Monaco y seguir avanzando en las rondas clasificatorias de la competición eurorpea. Sin embargo, los del principado estuvieron a un pelo de convertir el Philips Stadion en un mar de lágrimas.
During Chelsea's USA Tour, Complex invited Christian Pulisic and Ben Chilwell over to their popular show 'GOAT Talk' where they ask celebrities to crown their all-time greats, whether that's food, music, vacation spot, cars, etc.
Because they are athletes, it was expected for the show to deliver questions that would be interesting to see.
The players began the dynamic asking about their "favorite World Cup memory" and Pulisic, as would many people, picked Landon Donovan's last-minute goal against Algeria in 2010 as his favorite.
European football returned this past weekend with the start of the 2022-23 season, and we were treated to some stunning moments across the continent like Lionel Messi's bicycle kick, an insane half-volley from France and a brace for Erling Haaland on
Soccer is ever-moving. Just as soon as one season end, the next begins, and with it comes an overwhelming supply of games, moments and, most importantly, memes from the past week. Here, we make sure that you never miss a moment of the greatness that goes on in just 280 characters. This is “This Weekend On Soccer Twitter.”
While Lionel Messi captured many of the headlines from France this weekend thanks to his bicycle-kick goal against Clairmont, he was nowhere near scoring the best goal in France this weekend. That honor goes to Guingamp winger Jérémy Livolant, who scored a genuinely ridiculous effort from the better part of 40 yards in Ligue 2.
Hypothetically speaking, if you could only watch one club in Europe this season from a neutral's perspective, I don't think you could find anything more dramatic or exciting than the current build of AS Roma.
The hype started last season with the return of José Mourinho to Italy, where he enjoys an unblemished reputation on the strength of his remarkable two-year period with Inter Milan. The 59-year-old didn't disappoint during his first year in Rome by landing the club's first major trophy (the inaugural Conference League) since 2008.
And so it begins. On Sunday, Erling Haaland made his Premier League debut for Manchester City and scored two goals during his 78 minutes on the pitch.
History says this is largely what we should expect from the 22-year-old. With Borussia Dortmund, Haaland averaged a goal every 86 minutes (62 in 5,388) while his career average in the Champions League is one every 77 (19 goals in 1,463 minutes).
Guardiola said it best after the match: "He was born to score goals."
With 37 matches still to play, it's time to bring the curtain down on the 2022-23 Premier League season. On the limited evidence of Matchday 1, here's how things are going to shake out over the next nine months, guaranteed.
