Education

The Barcelona trident of Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez and Neymar – or MSN – is probably the best attacking force in soccer history. The unbelievable chemistry of the trio combined with the outrageous individual skills they all possess makes MSN unstoppable. Yet, for all their unbelievable achievements with Barcelona, success at the national level has evaded all of them. Sure, Suarez has a Copa America under his belt, and Neymar won the Confederation's Cup, but these are small potatoes compared to the ultimate prize: the World Cup.

According to a report from the AS in Spain, David Beckham is looking to make Roberto Carlos manager of his new Miami MLS expansion club. The two spent four years together at Real Madrid and have remained great friends ever since. 

Ryan Shawcross is a rough-and-tumble defender. He's part of that exclusive club of old-school, fearless defenders who never shy away from a challenge and throw around their hefty frames like a sack of flour into opposing players. It's a trait that Arsenal fans still loath him for after he broke Aaron Ramsey's leg with a late tackle, an injury that kept him out of action for almost a year (Editor's note: As an Arsenal fan, Ryan Shawcross' England career can go die in a hole). 

The schedule for the 2016 North American International Champions Cup was announced earlier today, and we're pleased to say that there are some tasty fixtures to look forward to. Some of the biggest matches include Real Madrid vs PSG in Columbus, Ohio and Bayern Munich vs Real Madrid in East Rutherford, New Jersey. The tournament also features Chelsea, Liverpool, AC Milan, Inter, Celtic and of course, Leicester City and Barcelona. 

Unless you've been living under a rock, you've probably at least heard a few whispers about Ousmane Dembele. The young Rennes prodigy could be the new Cristiano Ronaldo, at least according to former Manchester United defender Mikael Silvestre, who is now an advisor at the French outfit. 

Leicester City have been invited to participate in the International Champions Cup preseason tournament in the U.S., according to the Leicester Mercury. The Foxes have been nigh unstoppable in the league this year, and their charge towards a potential title has been rewarded with the opportunity to play against the best on U.S. soil. 

Charlton Athletic, once a proud Premier League team, are in a lot of trouble. The club is hideously in debt and, despite a slight upturn in form, they are still five points away from sliding down into League 1. Many fans blame their recent troubles on Belgian owner Roland Duchatele and controversial CEO Katrien Miere. So, this past weekend the fans took to the street in a unique way. 

We wouldn't blame you for thinking that Lionel Messi has broken every record worth breaking at Barcelona. He has smashed a lot of them. Most goals for Barcelona in La Liga, most goals for Barcelona in the Champions League, most goals in a calendar year and so on and so forth. 

Lionel Messi became the first player to score 20+ goals in 8 successive La Liga seasons today.

It's International Women's Day and Danish sportswear brand Hummel has celebrated it by releasing the new Afghanistan national soccer team kit. The Afghanistan women's team kits feature a built-in hijab allowing female players to follow Islamic custom without having to don a regular scarf, which would often be difficult whilst playing in hot environments. 

With incredible numbers in terms of goals, broadcast rights, attendance and international popularity, the Copa Libertadores has conquered its place in the world of soccer. It is the most important soccer tournament and the greatest club competition in South America.
