The world’s premier club competition is back for another edition and you’re all Googling "how to watch the Champions League" and scrambling to figure out if you have the right channels.
Well, you’ve come to the right place to learn how to watch the Champions League and every other major soccer league for the 2019-20 season, iterating on our similar story from last year.
Like all sports, soccer can run in the family. A lot of soccer families have made it into the professional game; many are recognizable names. The Toure Brothers, Yaya and Kolo, were Premier League icons; the Laudrup brothers are Danish heroes. Some soccer siblings outshine others or have just played for more recognizable clubs during their careers.
Lucky for you we’ve kept track of some soccer player siblings that you may not have heard about. Here is the list of soccer siblings that you haven’t heard of.
We all know that preseason results mean less than a fortune cookie, but we also know that in the slumbering offseason, clicks must still be generated.
Liverpool won the prestigious trophy just about two months ago, but like every season in the Champions League, we go again. With the domestic season roaring back around for another go in many European countries, here is what you need to know about this year’s Champions League.
While technically the competition has already started, don’t worry, you aren’t missing out on much.
As countless think pieces have told us over the last couple years, Major League Soccer is shifting away from its “retirement league” stigma and embracing young, high potential talent with sell-on value. That’s all smart and good, but, in my opinion, not nearly as fun as the retirement league. Maybe it’s an unpopular opinion, but I’m still here for Zlatan Ibrahimović, Wayne Rooney and Bastian Schweinsteiger.
For the uninitiated, there’s nothing more surreal than the conglomerates of fans that group together in unison to turn the world's footballing cathedrals into cauldrons of noise and song. In America, this sort of thing can be seen in college football and basketball, but the choreographed support largely dies at the professional level (save for a stadium wave here and a seventh-inning stretch there).
We all know rules we want to get rid of or add, if only for a second to help our team win a game. But these Premier League rule changes are here to stay. How often they get called into effect is anybody’s guess.
In an effort to reduce time-wasting near the end of matches, players being substituted will have to leave the pitch at the nearest point to them.
After watching LAFC's Mohamed El-Munir steal a goal from Alberth Elis on July 12, we were inspired to create a list of our favorite goal-line clearances (including that stop from El Munir). Here they are.
We all know that money is changing things in the world of soccer, and it will continue to do so for the foreseeable future. It has changed the transfer fees for players and also the contracts those players are awarded. This can lead to some issues for clubs around the world. Here are some prime examples of contract mismanagement.

If you’re a soccer junkie, it’s easy to get bored during the offseason of your favorite leagues. The transfer rumor mill is exhausting and can be pretty silly, as all the speculation just seems outlandish. And even during the season, just a few matches a week/weekend may not be enough for you.
