The 30 nominees for the women and men’s Ballon d’Or were released on Friday with several big surprises. The Chelsea Ballon d’Or representation was at an all-time high with ten players (five women, five men) nominated for the award.
Noticias gigantescas desde la Premier League. Después de 14 ásperos años en manos de Mike Ashley y casi 18 meses de entuertos legales, el Newcastle United tendrá un nuevo dueño. Se trata de un consorcio de tres grupos, liderado por el Fondo de Inversiones Públicas (PIF) de Arabia Saudita, un organismo que tiene tanto dinero que así de repente las Urracas ahora son el equipo más rico del planeta.
Sí, el mismo equipo que hace unas semanas aseguró la carta del joven mexicano, Santiago Muñoz.
LONDON - A Saudi-Arabian backed consortium completed its purchase of Premier League club Newcastle United on Thursday as a long-running takeover saga finally reached the conclusion the majority of the club's supporters desired.
Fourteen months after Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund (PIF) withdrew a $415.07 million bid to buy the north-east club from owner Mike Ashley following the Premier League's failure to give regulatory approval, a deal was announced after a day of mounting excitement on Tyneside.
If you haven’t had an opportunity to listen to the Hwang Hee-chan Korean commentary of his goals in the Premier League, then you’re in for a great time. If you’re here to listen to the commentators lose their minds again, I can’t blame you.
Hwang is on loan to Wolves from RB Leipzig this season and has now netted three Premier League goals in just four appearances. If he keeps up this scoring rate, then I’m worried his fellow countrymen in South Korea who do the commentary for games will surely lose their voices by December.
By now you’ve probably heard the story. 19-year-old Santiago Muñoz, who was born in El Paso, Texas, and grew up just south of the border in Ciudad Juárez, has joined Newcastle United in a jaw-dropping parallel with the famous 2005 film Goal! The Dream Begins.
Liverpool and Manchester City stood toe-to-toe at Anfield on Sunday afternoon, exchanging haymakers and glorious bits of skill in an end-to-end classic that ended 2-2 after an exchange of four second-half goals.
City carved the best opportunities of the first half with Phil Foden tormenting stand-in right back James Milner and Bernardo Silva at his freakish best. This dribble from Silva in the 20th minute deserved a finish from Foden.
Antes de armar las maletas y agarrar avión rumbo a México, para su esperado retorno al Tri, Raúl Jiménez regaló una buena dosis de magia en la victoria por 2-1 del Wolverhampton sobre el Newcastle, en el Estadio Molineaux.
Si bien el Lobo no marcó en esta jornada, disputó los noventa minutos y aportó con dos maravillosas asistencias para su nuevo socio de ataque, el coreano Hee-Chan Hwang
Chelsea momentarily sits at the top of the Premier League table after defeating Southampton 3-1 on Saturday. The victory wasn’t as straight forward as the final score suggests as the Blues found the go-ahead goal in the 84th minute.
Chelsea’s third goal was perhaps one of the most bat-shit crazy goals I’ve seen in a long time. FIFA 22 was just released, and this Ben Chilwell goal vs Southampton looks like it came right out a video game.
Manchester United and Everton shared the points at Old Trafford on Saturday after drawing 1-1. The moment everyone is talking about is the Andros Townsend SIUUU celebration after the Everton forward leveled the game at 1-1.
The goal came off a fantastic Toffee counterattack that featured Fred getting bullied, a sublime finish and some Townsend shithousery. The celebration that followed was perfect.
"Goalkeepers are a different breed," as the old adage goes, but what exactly makes the pair of keepers different from the other 20 players on the pitch?
The ability to use their hands is what formally sets these shot-stoppers apart, yet I'd argue that the biggest distinction between keepers and field players is their mindsets on the pitch.
There's a certain mentality you need to have to be able to succeed as a goalkeeper, and it requires you to disregard your body and do whatever it takes to keep the ball out of the net.
