Manchester United suffered its first loss of the season on Saturday to Crystal Palace, which notched its first win of the new season.
The defeat at home would not have been as embarrassing if the @ManUtd Twitter account did not play with fire ahead of the match.
Before the game, the club tweeted out this shot at Chelsea.
Guadalajara vs. Club América, Chivas vs. Las Águilas, El Súper Clásico — because that tame El Clásico over in Spain isn’t super enough.
Two of Mexico’s biggest clubs are also two of Liga MX’s biggest rivals, not just because they’re constantly going head-to-head on the pitch but because they have two distinct styles of going about their business. One’s called the Millionaires, the other the Goat Gang.
Fans of soccer and reality television had someone to really root for on this season of Big Brother.
That was, they did until Day 65 came and Analyse Talavera, a former forward of the Nevada Wolfpack soccer team, was evicted.
Talavera never really seemed in danger in the show until that fateful week, receiving her first and only nomination of the season.
However, fans of the evictee should know she’ll be back in the show as a jury member.
She also had a good running in the show, making it to the halfway point of the season
Scoring a goal is a beautiful thing, as is clearing one off the goal-line from a defensive perspective. But scoring a goal 13 seconds into a match without even touching it? Well it doesn’t get much better than that. It sounds like some serious witchcraft was at play in the early moments of this game. The league should look into that.
Back on June 1 in Madrid, Liverpool was the beneficiary of eagle-eyed referee Damir Skomina’s decision to punish Tottenham’s Moussa Sissoko for a controversial handball in the first minute of the 2019 Champions League Final. It was Mohamed Salah who stepped up to the spot to give Liverpool a lead it would never relinquish, so you could probably be led to assume that Salah is in favor of meticulous, hairsplitting decisions — the kind that VAR is all about.
You’d be wrong.
As a goalkeeper, being chipped is one of the most embarrassing things that can happen to you. It's one thing to have it dinked over you during a one-on-one, it's a whole different thing to be chipped from distance — which means goalkeepers will hate you if you try to chip them from long-range.
In this Sunday league match, a player tries to chip the opposing keeper from 50 yards out and fails. The keeper's reaction is priceless.
Real Madrid star Eden Hazard has responded to fan allegations of some minor weight gain this offseason with a video. The Belgian winger was getting a haircut with no shirt on (like a sociopath) and decided to film a quick short about his abs.
Hazard was sitting, so obviously we did not get the most flattering ab angle we could have received.

El Clasico is a match like no other. The passion, love and hate between Real Madrid and Barcelona fans is unrivaled and the two clubs define Spanish football.
But what if a Barcelona fan had to say something nice about Real Madrid? Could he do it?
That was the task assigned to Will for our latest edition of Rival Reviews with World Soccer Shop.
I don’t know about you, but there's been a burning question on my mind ever since a certain young American got transferred to a certain English club that wears the color blue: Does Christian Pulisic have a girlfriend, and should they get married?
Hmmm...
He’s living 4,000 miles away from home and his family and friends. The kid needs someone to keep him company, to hug him when he’s feeling down after losing or to hug him when he’s over the moon after winning.
Is there a better manager in men’s football right now than Liverpool’s lovable leader and Champions League winner? Everyone wants to know why Jurgen Klopp is so good, but a recent article shown light on the German’s secret to success.
