This USMNT team is very young; they'll be the youngest at Qatar. Sometimes they look like serious 2026 World Cup contenders, sometimes they look lucky to have qualified for the 2022 tournament. Friday's 2-0 loss to Japan was a look at, as we outlined in our match preview, many of the worst-case scenarios for this team.
The world works in mysterious ways. That was the case for Indonesian forward and captain Zulham Zamrun as he made one of the most remarkable recoveries in sports history during a Liga 2 match in Indonesia.
The 34-year-old captain had given it all for his team Persela. With his team leading 2-1 and just seconds left in the game... disaster struck. Zamrun had picked up a horrific injury. We’re not sure what was hurt, all we know is that he had to be taken off via stretcher.
Sophia Smith called out NWSL’s continuously awful officiating on Tuesday after the referees missed a clear foul on her in the Portland Thorns’ game vs. Kansas City Current game from Sunday. In the second half of Sunday’s game Smith was taken down in the box with a dangerous tackle from behind.
No foul was called, and one Twitter user posted the highlight asking how nothing was given from the referee. Smith responded, too.
Honduras defender Wisdom Quaye has been banned for 18 months due to an anti-doping rule violation, soccer's global governing body FIFA said on Tuesday.
The 24-year-old right back tested positive for clostebol — which is prohibited by the World Anti-Doping Agency — following a World Cup qualifying match vs. the United States on Feb. 2.
Sunday, Sept. 4 at 4:34 p.m. local time. Thanks to the timestamp on this security footage, we know exactly when the most effective drag back in the game's history occurred.
This looks like a pretty pleasant afternoon at the pub — elders sipping on beer and kids milling around with a football — but it ends in tragedy (a spilt foamer and funcussion).

European soccer fans are some of the craziest and intense people you will ever meet. It’s not uncommon to see brawls, fans throwing flares and plenty of tomfoolery. I’ve seen plenty of nonsense, but a Croatian fan bringing an anti-tank weapon to a game is a new one.

DOHA - "Stop! Can't you see the metro station is full? Stop!" a frazzled supervisor shouted as green-vested marshals linked arms to contain thousands of fans streaming from the stadium that will host soccer's World Cup final in Qatar.
It was after midnight on Friday and, for hours, nearly 78,000 people had been filing out of the stadium after a near-capacity match tested the small Gulf state's readiness for the tournament, which kicks off on Nov. 20.
Sunday night's Liga MX game between Pachuca and Tijuana at Estadio Hidalgo brought us 90 minutes full of goals, though mostly by the home team.
The Hidalguenses blew Xolos out of the water with a one-sided 6-1 victory — showing that Pachuca is a strong contender for the Liga MX title and that Tijuana is bound to miss out on the playoffs once again.

Carlos Salcedo regaló otra noche imborrable en la Liga MX. Y nuevamente por la razones incorrectas: un grosero error suyo le costó la derrota al FC Juárez en su visita al León y de paso se convirtió en el primer jugador de la competencia – del que tenemos registro – en tuitear en medio de un partido para quejarse del arbitraje.
Sí, así como lo leen.
When a professional footballer is asked to describe their worst nightmare, the response of "having my own fans chant 'asshole' at me" would probably be considered a totally irrational fear. But that's exactly what happened to New York Red Bulls midfielder Dru Yearwood on Saturday night at Red Bull Arena while getting sent off in his team's 2-0 defeat to Philadelphia.
