Having watched Minnesota United on the turf field at TCF Bank Stadium in Minneapolis for the last two years — often complete with the white football field markings and the giant University of Minnesota “M” at the center — I could only laugh at those with any vested interest in a crucial Premier League encounter between Tottenham and Manchester City today.
First things first, I did not watch Manchester United vs. Everton today — I was watching El Clásico. So I’m not in a position to say anything about Paul Pogba’s performance in the 2-1 win, and I don’t want to come off sounding like Pogba-hater-extraordinaire Graeme Souness.
Los estereotipos de fútbol vienen en muchas variedades. Lo más probable es que hayas visto algunos.
Cualquiera que crezca jugando al fútbol probablemente se enfrente a cientos, si no miles, de jugadores diferentes a lo largo de los años. La mayoría eran jugadores indefinidos, jugadores de los que te olvidaste en cuanto terminó el partido. Otros se han quedado contigo, molestándote aún hoy en día.
El Clásico is on Sunday, one of the most anticipated matches of the year. Sure, Cristiano Ronaldo has moved on and Lionel Messi is injured, but that just means this edition is more unpredictable than ever. Despite all the uncertainty swirling around both clubs right now, we’re pretty confident this year’s El Clásico will not disappoint.

I’ll admit, when I first saw Bleacher Report put out a Champions League cartoon, I ignored it because I assumed they wouldn’t produce anything funny. Then I accidentally watched some during TNT’s pregame show.
Created by Andy Haynes and directed by Adam and Craig Malamut, who did Game of Zones for Bleacher Report, The Champions is a goofy look at the stars of the Champions League in animated shorts. And, surprisingly, it’s kinda funny.
On Sunday, Real Madrid and Barcelona square off in the 177th league edition of El Clasico, the greatest rivalry match in all of sports. Real leads the all-time series with 72 La Liga victories as compared to Barca’s 70 (the two sides have shared the spoils an additional 34 times), and the club from the Spanish capital desperately needs another victory to reduce the currently escalating gap in league play.
Bob Marley has a special place in hearts of many soccer fans; the Jamaican icon has his songs sung across European stadiums. But Irish club Bohemian FC is taking it one step further with this Bob Marley jersey.
Bohemians is a Dublin-based Irish Premier League club, one of the oldest still in existence in Ireland. Their stadium, Dalymount Park, once hosted Bob Marley for a concert. So the next logical step was to create this unique Bob Marley jersey for the club’s 2019 away kit.
Zlatan Ibrahimovic has made the television rounds in Los Angeles since arriving at the Galaxy, including stops on the Ellen DeGeneres show, Pardon the Interruption and Jimmy Kimmel.
