We here at The18 are all for clubs doing goofy, weird, absurd and just strange things in the spirit of differentiating themselves, so we were excited to see this new Wigan mascot unveiled Friday.
And yet, I can’t help but think this anthropomorphic pie will haunt my dreams for years to come.
Introducing, Crusty the Pie!#wafc
Phil Jones has had many memeable moments in his career...
Like this tumble.
Or his classic "head tackle."
Or even just his face.
The Arsenal-Tottenham rivalry is among the fiercest in Europe, so if you go at someone from the other side, expect some retaliation.
One Spurs fan went after Mesut Özil and his tendency to go missing in matches, but the German playmaker hit back. Hard.
If you look closely ... you can see your trophy cabinet #YaGunnersYa https://t.co/e5YCn1doDt
The Alex Morgan tea-sipping celebration is catching fire across the country, even finding its way to a minor-league baseball game in the Texas Panhandle town of Amarillo.
With the 2018-19 English Premier League season adjourning, Wolverhampton has officially stunned the EPL, finishing one of the greatest seasons by a promoted team.
The Wolves finished 16-9-13 with 16 points coming against England’s top six.
The team also finished with a +1 goal differential. The team’s goals conceded mark of 46 is an impressive mark ranking them 5th in the league. But the offense needs a spark with a ranking of 14th in goals scored.
Mesut Özil has struggled to find playing time in the last couple of months with Arsenal, starting just two Premier League matches since November. But he’s found a way to win off the pitch, and this time it’s not in Fortnite, it’s for winning the #10YearChallenge.
Most fans take straight to social media following a sporting event. Typically, the athletes will as well. And when angry fans clash with professional athletes, every Twitter user reading the thread heads straight to the microwave to heat up the popcorn.
If you haven’t heard about the new Netflix movie Bird Box, well, you probably live under a rock. The eye-opening, or should I say eye-closing, movie has caused a blindfold outbreak. Not only did Sandra Bullock, Boy and Girl need to go about their lives with their eyes covered, but they inspired people in the non-cinematic world to try and go about their daily lives blindfolded.
The so-called “Bird Box Challenge” has taken over and just so happened to reach the soccer world. And, if I do say so myself, it’s a game that’s not so ea(see). Sorry, too punny?
From playing with Paris Saint-Germain in Ligue 1 to the World Cup with France, Kylian Mbappé had himself one helluva 2018, all before turning 20 in December.
To commemorate the end of the calendar year (at least on our antiquated Gregorian calendars), Mbappé made an awesome Instagram post highlighting many of his achievements from 2018.
The internet is often a pretty loathsome place, what with the political, tribal vitriol humans have for one another. But on occasion it can be a pretty cool place, like with these goal emojis that inundated Twitter on Thursday.
At the prompting of the @MundialMag account, a number of soccer fans described their favorite goals using only emojis.
