Juventus Does Halloween In Style

Juventus plays Empoli this weekend as they try to keep pace with Roma atop the Serie A table. But it's also Halloween and the players of Juve don’t want to miss out on the fun just because they have a game.

The Greatest Goal Pele Ever Scored, Recreated

Pele is a legend. There is no disputing this, regardless of whether or not you think he is the greatest player of all time.

Sporting legends, however, usually have to deal with a much lower degree of hear-say in the chronicling of their career. The story of Pele’s life will never change by word-of-mouth as much as, say, Beowulf’s, but as this next video will show, that doesn’t mean that the soccer star’s storied career is not with out its fair share of, well, stories.
