You've seen Antoine Griezmann balling out this summer on the basketball court, now the cross-sport challenge has gone the other way as Philadelphia 76ers star Joel Embiid showed what he can do with the ball at his feet while visiting his home of Cameroon.
Cristiano Ronaldo is the top scorer in UEFA Champions League history, but he’s scored less goals in Serie A than Alexi Lalas. Yes, the former USMNT defender has played 44 more games in Italy’s top division (44 to 0), but I’m not gonna let that stop my narrative.
Serie A is home to the most nefarious and stifling defenses on the planet — it’s the birthplace of catenaccio and Fabio Cannavaro placing you inside his back pocket.
With the new Premier League season kicking off, predictions have been coming in thick and fast, but none as good as ours.
We’ve decided to spice things up a little bit and thought what better way to show how a team will perform than by picking a song that perfectly defines the season.
Sit back, relax and enjoy...or not (depending on who you support).
Who’s ready to watch some Premier League?! Who’s ready to play a drinking game while watching the Premier League?! You are! (If you're looking for a little Premier League preview, look no further than here)
When most mere mortals are out playing in the streets, they’ll casually yell something like “Pogba!” or “Ronaldo!” when completing some audacious pass or string of step-overs. But if you, like me, are invincible and legend, you’ll scream “Zusi!” or “Andy Carroll!” or “wee Joe Allen!” when you get stuck in or while you're riding the pine. These are proper footballers, conjoined by one common thread: They all have spectacular man buns (Zusi used to, but now he’s a giant fraud).
Following relegation from the Premier League last season, West Brom kicked off life in the Championship yesterday with a 2-1 home defeat to Bolton. But it wasn’t an entirely joyless exercise inside the Hawthorns as the club unveiled it’s new mascot: a boiler. Boiler Man. Maybe Boiler Boy. We don't know the age of the boiler (yet).
There’s the boiler boy now, walking down the touchline looking awfully confused.
In a huge piece of investigative journalism, Madrid daily newspaper Marca reported the Cristiano Ronaldo Instagram account unfollowed Real Madrid on Friday. What a scoop!
More importantly, The18 can now confirm that Cristiano Ronaldo will not be back with Real Madrid this season, instead moving to Juventus. Because we all know a breakup isn’t official until social media accounts are unfollowed.
So, um, does any of this matter?
Sergio Ramos Garcia harvested himself from a little, unknown seed playing for Sevilla to an unearthly spectacle at Real Madrid. He is the captain of both Spain’s national team and Los Blancos. He is the hero of some and the villain of many — he also holds an insane record of red cards.
We’ve seen plenty of athletes cross over into the world of music and film: LeBron James, John Cena and even Neymar. But, what if we were to completely flip the tables and see who would cut it in our celebrity soccer stars from Hollywood and the music industry?
Here’s our pick on the two lineups, as well as a highly-researched and investigated prediction on how the celebrity soccer game would play out.
If you’ve perused Facebook, Twitter or Instagram in the past few weeks, you've perhaps witnessed the #InMyFeelingsChallenge, arguably summer’s most popular dance craze given rise by the release of rapper Drake’s new album. The viral sensation started about a month ago after Instagram user and comedian @theshiggyshow shared a video of himself doing what he deemed “the shiggy” dance, which lined up perfectly with Drake’s song “In My Feelings” from his hit album Scorpion.
