Back in 2014, a study found that a goal scored in the Premier League was worth around $2 million in prize money. Add the exponent of your choice to that figure, and you'll likely arrive at the value of a goal in the EPL today.
Fans of the Football League Championship will likely know that Cardiff City has been the division's most lethal set piece side over the past few seasons.
The Welsh club's 51 set piece goals since the start of the 2019/20 campaign have been by far the best in the league, which shouldn't be a surprise given that striker Kieffer Moore — who stands every bit of 6-5 — topped the team with 20 goals last year and led the league with 10.5 aerials won per match (winning 119 more aerial duels than the second place finisher).
LONDON — Premier League clubs will not release players called up for international duty if they are playing matches in a country on the UK's red list to prevent them from having to quarantine on their return to England, the league said on Tuesday.
According to the league, nearly 60 players were set to travel to 26 red-list countries during the international break in September, which includes World Cup qualifiers.
Dos días antes del Juego de Estrellas entre la MLS y la Liga MX se oficializó la baja de los dos rostros más grandes del evento: los mexicanos Javier Hernández y Carlos Vela.
Ambos se suman así a una importante lista de jugadores que fueron nominados originalmente y que no podrán decir presente en el partido que se disputará en el Estadio Banc of California de Los Angeles.
Tanto Hernández como Vela se perderán el encuentro por lesiones.
Christen Press is coming home. The Los Angeles native will play her future club soccer with Angel City FC after Racing Louisville announced a trade with the NWSL expansion club on Monday.
It's official: We've agreed to a trade with @weareangelcity.
Y un día, Javier Hernández desapareció completamente de los campos.
No fue un día que nadie recuerda. Hay registros: fue el 4 de julio de 2021. Chicharito hacía el trabajo de calentamiento del duelo que enfrentaría a LA Galaxy con el Sporting Kansas City, cuando un tirón en la pantorrilla derecha obligó a dejarlo entre algodones.
El diagnóstico médico de aquel entonces decía que el jugador estaría recuperado en un par de semanas, pero terminó julio, pasamos por el centro de agosto y al delantero todavía no se le ve ni la punta de la nariz.

Chelsea's returning striker Romelu Lukaku is in line to make his second debut for the club in Sunday's London derby against Arsenal, manager Thomas Tuchel said.
Lukaku was not involved in Chelsea's 3-0 win over Crystal Palace in the Premier League on Saturday as he was observing coronavirus protocols after travelling from Italy to re-join the club from Inter Milan.
The 28-year-old returned to Chelsea in a reported 97.5 million pounds ($135 million) move seven years on from his departure after helping the Serie A side to their first league title in 11 years last season.
Las cosas no van bien en Tigres. El equipo no gana, suma tres expulsados en cuatro jornadas, los refuerzos no hacen clic, hay jugadores que sufren problemas estomacales y hasta existen rumores de fricciones entre miembros del plantel y el técnico Miguel Herrera. Por si no fuera poco, su talismán, el francés André-Pierre Gignac todavía no juega un partido en este torneo.
