Phil Jones has had many memeable moments in his career...
Like this tumble.
Or his classic "head tackle."
Or even just his face.
The much-anticipated English Premier League season kicks off in just 10 days. Here is your guide for Week 1:
Pro Evolution Soccer (PES) has been making headlines over the past few months by waging a steady assault on FIFA’s rights to everything in club soccer; most notable was an exclusive deal with Juventus, meaning that the club’s name, badge, kits and Allianz Stadium will only be available in PES 2020 — FIFA 20 players will have to make do with ‘Piemonte Calcio.’
Patrice Evra announced this week he will be hanging up his boots. The former Manchester United star and France international was one of the best left backs in the world during his prime, and his trophy laden career can back that up. Evra’s technical ability, intelligence and athleticism allowed him a long career, spanning until the age of 38, which is old for a footballer.
We all know that preseason results mean less than a fortune cookie, but we also know that in the slumbering offseason, clicks must still be generated.
Liverpool won the prestigious trophy just about two months ago, but like every season in the Champions League, we go again. With the domestic season roaring back around for another go in many European countries, here is what you need to know about this year’s Champions League.

Newly promoted Premier League side Aston Villa faced off with Charlton Athletic in a summer friendly today, but some players are obviously showing maximum effort.
Villa’s John McGinn went full-power super saiyan while scoring two goals and providing an assist.
McGinn first got on the board in the 57th minute with a great strike, deflecting off the Charlton keeper’s foot from about 22 yards out for the goal.
20-year-old Christian Pulisic has jumped onto the international soccer scene over the past few years, but after signing for Chelsea this past winter, the American is looking to use the Premier League to push himself even further.

Arsenal has confirmed that the man featured in a video fighting off two attackers with knives in North London is defender Sead Kolašinac and that the man in the car is Mesut Özil.
Kolašinac showed no fear in this failed attack as the video shows him forcing the assailants around the vehicle. For a man who gets paid millions to use his feet, he looked very prepared to use his hands. But, of course, why risk his livelihood with a kick that could’ve probably shattered one of the motorists’ helmets.
