With the immense popularity of cooking shows and the growing number of soccer-focused sports documentaries out there, it’s probably only a matter of time before we see a behind-the-scenes series that’s focused on a club’s kitchen. If this five-minute video focusing on AC Milan’s chef is any indication, it’ll be one helluva show.
Should Alejandro Bedoya just stick to sports? After an eight-day period which left 34 dead and 65 injured following a hailstorm of bullets aimed at people attending a garlic festival in Gilroy, shopping at Walmart in El Paso and enjoying a night out in Dayton, the 32-year-old Philadelphia Union midfielder felt like that was out of the question.
So after scoring the opening goal in Philadelphia’s 5-1 road victory over D.C. United on Sunday, Bedoya delivered a message via the pitch-side microphone that was heard loud and clear on FS1.
In a game that looked set to end goalless, André-Pierre Gignac came up big — as he alwasy has for Tigres — and scored an 89th-minute winner versus Pumas on Sunday night. It was his 105th goal for the Monterrey club, making him the team's outright top goalscorer in its history.
¡GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL!
Wearing a pair of Nike’s that haven’t even dropped yet ("I'm taking advantage of this win! I'm taking advantage of this popularity that people are sending me stuff that's not even out!"), USWNT star Megan Rapinoe visited Stadium Goods in New York to film a “Sneaker Shopping” segment with Complex. In the show, athletes talk about their own connection with sneaker culture and fashion, as well as a wide-range of interview topics including sports, pop culture, politics and music.
German club Union Berlin has announced that its first-ever match in the first division of German football will be dedicated to supporters who passed away before seeing the team get promoted.
It'll be a special day on August 18, our first Bundesliga match at the Alte Försterei.
When whoever’s in charge of the worst competition ever created sits down to look at their social media numbers, they’ll see that the most liked/shared/commented/engaged with post of the 2019 Leagues Cup was a cat. Hopefully they’ll then decide to make the 2020 edition strictly cats.
You see, it’s a helluva fine boi.
Carson Pickett isn’t exactly a household name. But in a year in which the USWNT won the Women’s World Cup, a picture of the Orlando Pride defender might be the most indelible soccer image of 2019.
Atlanta, The New MLS Hotbed
Mercedes-Benz Stadium is home to a team that played its part in the biggest comeback in Super Bowl history. The only problem is that the Atlanta Falcons were on the wrong end of that comeback. However, the stadium is also home to the hottest property in MLS, Atlanta United.
It's come as a bit of a surprise to most around the country that Atlanta and its community has taken so well to the new club, although it sure helps that the team is performing incredibly.
Liverpool fans are on a good one right now coming off a Champions League title, so morale is great. And team morale will no doubt be in good hands as long as Virgil van Dijk is around.
The best defender in the game was caught on Liverpool’s Instagram story showing much love to his teammate Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain. The video had roast potential with Van Dijk approaching Ox, who was signing dozens of Liverpool jerseys, and saying that Ox is always late.
However, the Dutchmen could never, and he suddenly felt the urge to appreciate Ox’s hair.
Luis “Chapo” Montes has had a wild ride with the Mexico national team. If you’re a fan of Club León or Liga MX, you’ll know who the diminutive 5-5 midfielder is.
Montes has been a staple of Mexico’s top professional league since he made his debut in 2006 with Indios. He’s gone on to play for only three teams in his whole career and all in Mexico (he later made his breakthrough with Pachuca before transferring to León).
