Francesco Totti Is 40 Years Old, But That Didn't Stop Him From Collecting Three Assists

Francesco Totti celebrated with 40th birthday on Tuesday, a milestone that encapsulates 25 seasons at one club, AS Roma. Totti has been as effective as ever for the Giallorossi, scoring two goals and registering two assists in just 192 minutes of Serie A action this season.

His league play was rewarded with a start and rare 90 minutes of action in Thursday’s Europa League encounter with Romanian opposition Astra Giurgiu. The Roman delighted supporters at the Stadio Olimpico with another vintage performance. 

The 19-Year-Old Former Celtic Ball Boy Who Ruined Pep Guardiola’s Perfect Start

Celtic left-back Kieran Tierney has now figured in two shock results for the Hoops in the UEFA Champions League — their stunning 2-1 win over Barcelona in November of 2012 and their not-as-stunning-but-still impressive 3-3 draw with Manchester City on Wednesday night.

Both matches were at Celtic Park.

But the 19-year-old’s role against City was certainly different than his task against the Blaugrana in 2012.

Bayern Munich Just Can't Win At Vicente Calderon Stadium

Last year, at Vicente Calderon Stadium, in the Champions League, against Atletico Madrid, Bayern Munich were painfully eliminated from a competition they had every right to think they could win.

This year, at Vicente Calderon Stadium, in the Champions League, against Atletico madrid, Bayern Munich had this happen to them:

Is It Finally, Finally Theo Walcott’s Time?

Theo Walcott can’t help Sven-Goran Eriksson’s strange decision to include him in England’s 2006 FIFA World Cup squad. The cruciate ligament rupture he suffered in 2014, resulting in a 280-day spell on the sideline, was equally unavoidable.

While Walcott’s progress from young phenom to seasoned veteran has been hindered by an assortment of shoulder, abdominal and groin injuries, it’s often forgotten that he’s only 27 years old. 

Manchester City Women Beat Chelsea To WSL Title

A Chelsea own-goal and a Toni Duggan penalty were enough to lift Manchester City, 2-0, over the defending WSL champions Saturday in a match that cemented the WSL crown for the Citizens.

Manchester City are one of the few clubs in England actually putting significant resources toward their women's team, and it paid off with the title.

The only match Manchester City lost this season was, fittingly, to Chelsea in an FA Cup semi-final, and now sweet revenge is theirs.

Christian Pulisic Sets Up Dortmund Equalizer Against Real With Superb Run And Cross

Noticing the talent of Christian Pulisic and believing he’ll have a great career should no longer be classified as jumping on the hype train. The term 'hype train' is like the plans for a high-speed rail in the United States, a theoretical concept that’s been touted since 1965 but has never materialized. 'Hype train' infers that nothing is settled, that everything is still in the balance.

Chicharito's 100th European Goal Helps Bayer Leverkusen To Draw vs. Monaco

Chicharito scored a hat-trick this weekend in the Bundesliga, so we were on the edge of our seats with regards to what he might do in the Champions League.

He delivered with a goal.

USMNT Midfielder Alejandro Bedoya Scores MLS Goal Of The Year Contender

Alejandro Bedoya has always been something of an enigma for United States National Team supporters. This primarily stems from the 29-year-old's decision to play abroad right after college — neglecting to enter the MLS SuperDraft.

Bedoya spent his time abroad in Sweden, Scotland and France, making his performances largely unwatchable apart from the occasional highlight reel. Compounding the mysterious qualities of Bedoya is Jurgen Klinsmann’s deployment of the natural attacking midfielder or winger in a variety of roles.

Neymar And Luis Suarez Lead Messi-Less Barcelona To 5-0 Romp Over Sporting Gijon

Barcelona traveled to Gijon on Saturday for a difficult match against Sporting. Barcelona made their travels without Lionel Messi, who will be sidelined for three weeks with a groin injury suffered against Atletico Madrid on Wednesday.

In his stead, Neymar and Luis Suarez inspired their side to a resounding 5-0 victory. Neymar registered a brace and Luis Suarez scored Barca's opening goal in the 29th minute.

DeAndre Yedlin Unplayable In First Newcastle United League Start

Newcastle United manager Rafa Benitez’s preference for the tactically astute Vernon Anita at right-back has made league minutes tough to come by for DeAndre Yedlin. However, a three-match suspension for Anita opened the door for the 23-year-old American.

Yedlin was preferred to the Spaniard Jesus Gamez on Saturday for Newcastle’s league encounter with Aston Villa. The American seized his opportunity with a man of the match display but was unfortunately subbed off due to an apparent ankle injury in the 73rd minute.
