The first match of the International Champions Cup has concluded with the LA Galaxy walking away with a 2-1 victory over Club America. Not only was it the first match of the tournament, it was the first appearance for Steven Gerrard at his new Californian club. Seeing him outside of Anfield in a white, blue and yellow shirt was a little hard on the eye and will take more than forty-five minutes to become accustomed to.
Stuart Edge might be the corniest name I have heard in years, but he sure does know how to pull off a magic trick.
It starts off with the usual take-a-card-any-card and then evolves into something involving a soccer ball, a kick, and Real Salt Lake’s Luke Mulholland. It makes sense in the end, except it kind of doesn’t, but your eye’s will be happy.
Si has estado viendo lo más destacado del fútbol desde el comienzo de YouTube, lo más probable es que hayas visto este gol.
Es un clásico, el tipo de gol que, cuando lo ves por primera vez, te hace comprender que es posible hacer mucho más en el campo de juego de lo que habías pensado.

It’s gotta feel good to be Arda Turan right now, sure, you are not going to be able to play for your new club, Barcelona, until January, but once you do you will get to be a part of stuff like this:
It’s a footballer’s wet dream, and Turan about to bathe in — OK, sorry, I got a little carried away there.
AC Siena was beating Internazionale Milan 3-2 in 2010. Inter would go on to win the treble that year; beating Barcelona along the way with one of the most classic “Mourinho parks the bus” defensive efforts of all time. Siena, on the other hand, would be relegated. An upset was on hand, but Wesley Sneijder was yet to have his final say.
Messi f***s people up. He runs around a pitch for 90 minutes and performs acts of greatness with a ball at his feet until he makes entire stadiums chant his name, and what’s left in his wake is the stuff of YouTube legend. I don’t think there’s a more viral athlete in the world than Lionel Messi; he might be the first of all time.
The man destroys people, and then the world makes fun of them.
