Is This The Year? Napoli Goes Second After Huge Win Over Milan At San Siro

This weekend's marquee match in Serie A saw fourth-place Napoli travel to the San Siro to play second-place AC Milan on Sunday with both teams trying to keep pace with Inter at the top of the table. 

After Atalanta was hammered 4-1 by Roma on Saturday, a Napoli victory would see Gli Azzurri leapfrog both La Dea and Milan into second, while a win for the Rossoneri would keep them within one point of Inter at the top. 

¡Ups! Raúl Jiménez Le Arruina A Los Wolves El Gol Del Triunfo Sobre El Chelsea

Bajo una espesa niebla en el Estadio Molineaux, Wolverhampton igualó 0-0 ante un Chelsea seriamente disminuido debido a un masivo brote de Covid-19 al interior de su plantel. El resultado, sin embargo, pudo haber sido diferente si Raúl Jiménez no hubiera arruinado el gol que pudo haber significado el triunfo para su equipo.

Spurs And Liverpool Provide The Pre-Christmas Cheer With Classic Premier League Match

LONDON - Tottenham Hotspur and Liverpool raised the spirits with a rip-roaring 2-2 draw in a pre-Christmas Premier League classic on Sunday after a weekend marred by COVID-19 related postponements.

A mistake by Liverpool keeper Alisson gifted Tottenham's Son Heung-min a 74th-minute equalizer the hosts fully deserved although the visitors were fuming about some contentious decisions.

USMNT Striker Jordan Pefok Delivers Statement With Four-Goal Game For Young Boys

The debate over who should be the USMNT's starting striker will continue into 2022 despite Ricardo Pepi's recent heroics in front of goal. The 18-year-old was quiet on Saturday night in the national team's 1-0 win over Bosnia and Herzegovina (a match The18's David Moore likened to "cruel and unusual punishment"), and Gregg Berhalter will be closely monitoring the FC Dallas striker's competition abroad.

Campeón Sin Ascenso: Atlante Gana La Liga Expansión Con Goles De Costa Y El Hobbit Bermúdez

Si hay algo que caracterizó al 2021 del fútbol mexicano es la cadena de maldiciones que se rompieron durante la temporada. Cruz Azul ganó su primer título en 23 años y el Atlas dejó atrás una sequía de 70. 

A ellos, ahora también se suma el Atlante. Los Portros de Hierro vencieron 3-0 al Tampico Madero y se quedaron con la corona de la Liga Expansión. ¿El récord roto? Después de 75 años, el Atlante es el primer equipo que logra un trofeo haciendo de local en el Estadio de la Ciudad de los Deportes. OK, la estadística es rebuscada, pero calza con la narrativa de los maleficios.

João Cancelo's Wonder Strike Helps Manchester City Stay Top

NEWCASTLE, England - Manchester City's João Cancelo scored one goal and made another as they overwhelmed struggling Newcastle United 4-0 on Sunday to ensure they will spend Christmas Day top of the Premier League, a position Liverpool occupied in the last three seasons.

The visitors were gifted the opening goal in the fifth minute when Cancelo acrobatically crossed for Rúben Dias to head into an empty net after a mix-up between Newcastle goalkeeper Martin Dúbravka and defender Ciaran Clark.

Christian Pulisic Struggles With Weight Of Expectation After Pawn Stars Appearance

The Phenom Guy/LeBron James Of Soccer/Soccer Superstar/Center Midfielder/Captain America/Teacher's Exchange Program Standout/Top Player In The Premier League/Most-Watched On Chelsea FC Team/Favorably Compared With Messi + Ronaldo/Finest Soccer — Or "Football" — Player In The World, Christian Pulisic, went 90 minutes for only the third time this season against Wolves at the Molineux on Sunday, but the 23-year-old couldn't provide the magic in a match that finished 0-0.

Making Someone Watch A U.S. Friendly Vs. 10-Man Bosnia Is Now Considered Cruel And Unusual Punishment

My apologies and condolences go out to any poor unfortunate souls who canceled their Saturday night plans to watch the USMNT play Bosnia and Herzegovina. The U.S. defeated Bosnia 1-0 in what was perhaps one of most mundane soccer games ever played.

With it not being an official international break, there was no Christian Pulisic or Weston McKennie caliber of starpower. The purpose of this friendly was a tune-up game ahead of World Cup qualifying in January. This was a chance for some youngsters and fringe players to prove themselves to head coach Gregg Berhalter. 

Ivan Rakitic’s Potential Goal Of The Season Keeps Sevilla Within Striking Distance Of Real Madrid

A Lucas Ocampos strike in the final minutes of the match gave second-placed Sevilla a 2-1 win over Atlético Madrid in LaLiga on Saturday.

In a feisty match between two sides that are trying to stay in contention with league leaders Real Madrid, Sevilla came out on top.

Sevilla now have 37 points, putting them five behind Real, while Atleti fall to fifth place on 29 points, leapfrogged by surprise outfit Rayo Vallecano, who beat Alaves 2-0 earlier in the day and remain unbeaten at home this season.
