As the weekend gets closer, life gets better. The anticipation kills us as we wait for the end of the week. It might be a struggle every Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday but once Thursday hits it's all downhill. Take a look at the many emotions of the work week brought to you by the one and only Lionel Messi.
Jurgen Klopp is a delight. He is a delight in Liverpool and he is even more of a delight when he is in Australia.
Watch Jurgen do some native dancing, try to play the didgeridoo and throw a boomerang. I would watch him dancing on a loop for 10 hours every day and never go to work again if I could.
I hope he learns to play the didgeridoo for real someday. I also hope he learns to throw a boomerang so it comes back. I hope he never learns to throw a spear properly. He would definitely kill Dejan Lovren in a rage if that happened.
Do you know what is better than a first division soccer team? A team of superheroes. Even if that team of superheroes is actually a fourth division soccer team dressed up like superheroes, superheroes always win.
Argentinian fourth division side Sacachispas know this, which is why they dressed as superheroes before their Copa Argentina match against first division club Arsenal de Sarandi.
Former Eintracht Frankfurt fullback Guillermo Varela has proven that you don't need to be an Ohio State football player to get in trouble for unauthorized tattoos. Varela, who spent this season on loan at Frankfurt from Mancheser United, has had his loan deal terminated because of a tattoo.
You all know the song. It's one of the most famous songs about soccer ever: a man listing off names of past and present elite players while championing Zinedine Zidane in the chorus. But who is really "the strongest of them all"? Well, here's my ranking:
According to the ScotlandsDNA project, only 0.6% of the world’s population has red hair. Chances are, you’ve known a few gingers in your life, and maybe you’ve even taken a moment to stop calling them Carrot Top, Mr/Ms Weasley, Chucky, Big Red, Ginger Balls and/or Strawberry Shortcake and gotten to know them as unique individuals that aren’t defined by the color of their drapes, you damn bully.
Leroy Sane had a breakout season for Manchester City, scoring nine times in 35 total apperances and helping his team to a third place finish in the Premier League.
Perhaps his biggest goal came against Monaco during the first leg of the Champions League Round of 16. Sane scored in the 82nd minute to push City's advantage to 5-3, one they would ultimately relinquish during the second leg.
I know what you're thinking, we're all crazy for putting this much faith in a cow to predict the outcome of something people in Las Vegas often miss. But, Paul The Octopus predicted Germany winning the World Cup in 2014, so I have faith in this cow.
Being a coach is tough. Making sure players show up, sending countless emails and managing the expectations of every parent can make the whole experience of coaching a youth team seem like herding cats.
On top of that, coaches have to listen to the same excuses time after time after time. Some are reasonable, some are ridiculous and all of them are a coach's least-favorite part of the job. At least one can laugh about them later. Here's a list of excuses that, at one time or another, every coach has heard.
