FIFA announces proposal to change kickoffs and get rid of the center circle

The iconic lines of the soccer field could be seeing dramatic change. FIFA is proposing a plan to get rid of the center circle at midfield in attempt to make kickoffs more exciting.

The center circle has a ten-yard radius and is in place to keep opponents away from the team kicking off.

FIFA president Gianni Infantino has stated that the game of football is constantly evolving, and the governing body must adapt even if that means changing the field. 

Aaron Ramsdale can’t keep straight face talking about Matt Turner’s ‘Americanisms’

Arsenal goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale says that USMNT and back-up Gunners keeper Matt Turner is the funniest guy on the team. Turner is “unintentionally” funny Ramsdale said.

During an interview that looked like a lie detector test, Ramsdale was asked if he was the funniest player on the Arsenal squad. To the surprise of the interviewer Ramsdale quickly said no.

The English goalkeeper went on to explain that he thinks his fellow shot-stopper Turner is the most humorous because of his ‘Americanisms.’

Halftime band during Argentina match just keeps playing despite start of second 45

Argentina palooza continued Tuesday night as the world champions put on an exhibition against CONCACAF minnows Curaçao at the Madre de Ciudades in Santiago del Estero.

It was an honor and a privilege. 

¡Se emocionaron de más! Celebraciones y festejos polémicos en Liga MX

Los goles en el fútbol no serían lo mismo sin los festejos y los festejos no serían lo mismo sin los goles. Van románticamente atados de la mano.

Al jugador que marca le encanta celebrar con su afición, con la banca del equipo, con el compañero que lo asistió y, de vez en cuando, aprovecha para inventarse un festejo único.

El fútbol mexicano, como en todo, no es ajeno a esa creatividad en las celebraciones y jugadores como Paul Aguilar, André-Pierre Gignac o Rogelio Funes Mori han regalado uno que otro momento icónico para sus aficionados con festejos llenos de ingenio.

NWSL players in disbelief over how bad some of their FIFA 23 characters look

The National Women’s Soccer League getting added to EA Sports’ FIFA video game series felt too good to be true. The long overdue addition of the American league to the game took place on March 15. 

It’s been a week since the update and players aren’t thrilled about how poorly they look in the game. Several players have taken to Twitter to show off just how bad the animations turned out.

The issues range from some player appearing much whiter in the game than in real life to being bald. Yikes EA.

Oh no, here comes the neighbor on his scooter with a noise complaint

Just when you think you've seen it all on the football pitch, your neighbor comes puttering along on his scooter, bringing the match to a standstill, to complain about all the matchday malarkey that's frightening his horses. 

Now you've really seen it all.

Kim Kardashian's week: Dooms Arsenal in Europa League, gets Messi booed off the pitch

Based on how preposterously good Arsenal and Lionel Messi have been this season, there's only one possible explanation for their respective failures this week: tourist Kim Kardashian.

On Thursday, the 42-year-old socialite made her presence felt at the Emirates with her son Saint (the second-oldest of Kim and Kanye's four children). Cruising at the top of the Premier League table and targeting European glory, Arsenal suffered a shock elimination to a Sporting side that's sitting fourth in Liga Portugal.

Mean, mean goalkeeper denies goal to a little birthday boy

If you think Emiliano Martinez is the most despicable goalkeeper out there, just wait to meet Zsombor Senkó, the man between the sticks for Hungarian second-division side DVTK. He's being rightly booed worldwide after denying a goal and crushing the dreams of a seven-year-old boy on his birthday!

Boooo! And another boooo!

Ted Lasso S3E1 review: Lots of poop jokes but premiere doesn't stink

The final season of Ted Lasso kicked off Wednesday with "Smells Like Mean Spirit" — a premiere centered around how AFC Richmond are being picked to finish last in the new Premier League season.

I would pick them to finish 20th too. It's the same squad that got relegated, they haven't made any transfers, Nate's gone and Ted's commitment to the entire thing is wavering. But no one's cared this much about preseason rankings since Josh Wolff laminated the MLS predictions and used it as straight gasoline for Austin FC's fire.
