This Angle Of Thiago’s Majestic Volley Appears To Defy Physics
I’ll admit, I love a good team goal. But there’s just something about a sweetly struck volley that cannot be beat. I mean, just look at this Thiago goal vs Porto on Wednesday.

When these teams met in Paris a couple of months ago, Manchester City bossed the game but PSG still won by two. In Manchester, the Citizens didn’t quite dominate as much, but they came away with what matters most: more goals.
You can’t win without scoring. I heard that a few times from Fox announcers on Tuesday night, both in the early match in which Nashville remained unbeaten at home by topping Orlando City and in the later match in which one of the favorites to win the MLS Cup, the Seattle Sounders, hosted Real Salt Lake.
The adage is certainly true in normal contexts, but this is playoff soccer now. Real Salt Lake showed you can survive and advance without even bothering to attempt a shot all game.
Tuesday was a remarkable day for U.S. Soccer abroad as six different Americans started for their respective club team in the UEFA Champions League.
In the build up to Manchester United’s top-of-the-table Champions League Group F clash with Villarreal at El Madrigal, caretaker manager Michael Carrick revealed that his revolution would be a subtle one; blink and you just might miss it.
“Obviously I’ve worked closely with Ole for a long time now and we do have very similar beliefs,” the defeatist inside Carrick said. “We did as players and we certainly do as coaches and manager so, yes of course, I’ve got my own personality to Ole, but it’s very similar.”
For the second time in the men’s program’s history, the University of New Hampshire Wildcats have reached the NCAA Tournament Round of 16. The feat was accomplished Sunday after a 4-1 victory over North Carolina with every goal being scored in the first half.
New Hampshire defender Bridger Hansen opened the floodgates in the 23rd minute with one of my favorite bicycle kicks of all time. I’ve seen hundreds over the last few years — each one exhilarating in its own right — but I’ve never seen one that begins with the high-stepping of a prone defender. Style points achieved.
Seamos honestos. Pocos veíamos a Pumas metiéndose en los playoffs del Apertura 2021. El equipo universitario vivió grandes períodos de la temporada regular dando pena, en los que apenas la embocaba y con el puesto de Andrés Lillini colgando de un hilo, semana a semana.
Major League Soccer Golden Boot winner Valentín Castellanos scored his first MLS Cup playoff goal in the 49th minute to lead NYCFC to a 2-0 home victory in Sunday's first-round clash against Atlanta United at Yankee Stadium.
El Apertura 2021 es historia para Chivas. Y no de la buena.
La escuadra dirigida por Michel Leaño cayó ante Puebla, en la ronda de repechaje y a través de una dramática tanda de lanzamientos penales. La derrota, obviamente, desató los lamentos entre los Chivahermanos, a la vez que fanáticos de otros equipos recordaron el célebre meme "Ya, Gonzalo".
