Turkish chef Nusret Gokce, better known as Salt Bae, is appreciative of how he’s taken over football with his finesse with the salt. After breaking Meme Land and sending the Twitter-verse into meltdown with GIFs that reciprocated the happenstance of life with arousing seasoning, we’ve come to know Salt Bae a little more.
The holier-than-thou footballing mentality of the English came to the fore when Frank Lampard announced his retirement Thursday. Lampard, who was slated by all of England during the 2006 World Cup and booed at Wembley during their disastrous Euro 2008 qualifying campaign, is a living legend, but he didn’t die on Tuesday, he just won’t be playing for NYCFC anymore.

Sometimes winter just reminds us of how much we miss summer. There’s nothing better than sandy toes, salty hair and a pickup soccer game on the beach as the sun starts to set. Let us help you daydream about those sunny, tropical, careless days with some of the most beautiful beach soccer photos we’ve ever seen. Sit back, relax and scroll.

It's unclear what Aston Villa chairman Dr. Tony Xia is a doctor of, but we think it might be math.
Xia, whose Twitter account is wildly entertaining and filled with optimistic projections for the future of his club (currently 13th in the Championship, but don't worry, Dr. Tony is on it), has been spouting off math problems in relation to the January transfer window lately.
Snapchat knows how to keep us entertained. The popular social media platform recently paired up with Europe’s top football clubs to debut a series of lenses for fans to show their support.
The new lenses are available for fans of Arsenal, Chelsea, Everton, Liverpool, Manchester City, PSG, Marseille, Bayern Munich, Borussia Dortmund, Juventus, Inter Milan, Atlético Madrid and Barcelona. Those who are fans of these clubs will only be able to use the virtual face filters at each team’s respective stadium for the rest of the season.
Many clubs have official Twitter accounts and many of those official club Twitter accounts are bad. Not Bayern Munich's, though. Bayern Munich's official club Twitter account is good.
