Jesse Marsch has now recorded two dramatic victories in a row with Leeds United as the club looks to avoid relegation. Marsch’s side coming back from 2-0 down vs. Wolves has earned him a lot of love among Leeds United supporters. The British media is still warming up to Marsch and the Wisconsin native couldn’t help but poke some fun at the journalists who make fun of his accent.
Launching fireworks outside a team’s hotel before their big game is a common tactic seen around the world. One of the most iconic instances of this was when Iranian fans threw a party outside the hotel where Portugal’s national team was staying for the 2018 World Cup and Cristiano Ronaldo asked for some sleep.

I don't know what Ronaldinho's appearance fee is, but it was met by the World Soccer Hall of Fame in Pachuca, Mexico, on Tuesday night as the legendary Brazilian showed up and provided a short induction speech. No, I had no idea there was a World Soccer Hall of Fame in Pachuca either.
The fellow inductees of Ronaldinho's class were Italian defender Fabio Cannavaro, Spanish striker Raúl, Brazilian defender Roberto Carlos and Swedish coach Pia Sundhage. They weren't at the ceremony, but Ronaldinho was genuinely touched by the honor and fought back tears during his speech.
As the sun warms the mid-March air, and fields everywhere begin to bustle with activity, it is a sure-fire sign that the indoor soccer season is coming to a close.
In a few weeks, the snow we be completely melted, the fields will be dry and outdoor soccer will once again flourish for the spring, summer and fall months.
For many of us in northern states, indoor facilities allow us to play soccer during the half of the year when the weather makes outdoor activities futile.
¡Uy! Así de repente a Héctor Herrera le vino un acento castellano castizo que nadie tenía en el radar.
En una entrevista con Daniel Chanona de TUDN, el jugador mexicano habló de por qué decidió salir del Atlético de Madrid para convertirse en el flamante fichaje del Houston Dynamo en la MLS y en medio de sus declaraciones dio un festival de ceceo. Por momentos, incluso parecía un nativo de Castilla y no de Rosarito, en Baja California.
If you’re a fan of New York City FC you’ve had a rough past week trying to avoid being made fun. First, NYCFC held a “home” game in front of 1,000s of opposing fans. Now an embarrassing and flat out awful NYCFC championship banner reveal has all of Major League Soccer laughing at the club again.
My sixth journalism sense is already tingling. I know someone in the comments will have the audacity to say, “wow, slow news day?” Yeah Brad from Arkansas, it was a slower day for me — it’s because I couldn’t stop thinking of a Bernardo Silva fan video from the other night.
The context of the Bernardo Silva fan video isn’t clear. For all we know this clip could be over a year old, but what I do know is that one fan found the Manchester City star during a night out and made the most of it.
During a 10-minute prematch segment on CBS ahead of Wednesday's Champions League Round of 16 second leg between Real Madrid and PSG at the Bernabéu, Thierry Henry dissected what makes Kylian Mbappé "just a freak."
Henry said that while speed kills and is what strikes fear into defenders, Mbappé — while consistently being the fastest man on the pitch — combines that pace with control, technique, balance, composure, power, accuracy, left foot and right foot, making him "virtually impossible to defend."
