With the retirement of Clint Dempsey earlier this week, the USMNT lost a legend, the greatest goal scorer the country has ever seen (on the men’s side, at least). So one of the few Americans left in the Premier League decided to pay homage to the Texan, as seen with this wonderful DeAndre Yedlin goal vs Manchester City on Saturday.
Tottenham fans can exhale. There will be no mandatory Son Heung-Min military service. All thanks to the Spurs midfielder beating up on a bunch of kids.
All South Korean men must complete 21 months of military service for the country, a response to the constant threat of the militaristic North Korea. There are only two ways to gain exemptions: win a medal at the Olympics or win gold at the Asian Games.
Son, 26, would be required to enter into military service by the time he turns 28, unless he could gain an exemption.
After watching Loris Karius almost single-handedly crush Liverpool’s chances in the Champions League final against Real Madrid, Liverpool spent a record $87.4 million to bring Roma’s Alisson to Anfield.

STOP THE PRESSES! We’ve got some pulp for you: Unami Emery has banned Arsenal players from drinking fruit juice at London Colney.

The 2018-19 Champions League group stages feature some tasty matchups with a couple of thrilling groups and one shockingly easy group.
Here are the groups:
Manchester United keeps deteriorating on the pitch but the club’s value has never been higher.
Jose Mourinho’s Red Devils are off to a miserable start to the new Premier League campaign, with an embarrassing loss to Brighton and a 3-0 humiliation at the hands of Tottenham. But no one ever said you had to be good to be rich (just look at a few notable politicians).
Liverpool is making landmark moves but not in the ways you might expect. Coach Jurgen Klopp it seems has fully bought into the underutilized weapon that is the long throw, having has just signed on a specialist in the field to join his Liverpool staff in a part-time deal.
Tottenham’s position as the target of the Meme Lords soccersplaining fury came to an end today following a stirring 3-0 victory over Manchester United at Old Trafford.
