The hype and excitement around 17-year-old Jude Bellingham reached its apex when Borussia Dortmund made it official that the teenager was leaving Birmingham City to join the German giant. 

Bellingham is full of talent, especially his ability on the ball and propensity to evade players. His highlight reel emphasizes his skill with the ball at his feet. The midfielder caught the eye of several big teams with Dortmund snatching him up for a Birmingham City record fee of nearly $26 million. 

The permanent return of fans in stadiums is yet to be certain. Until it is safe for spectators to be in stadiums, viewers at home are either stuck with phantom ghosts chanting down on players or get the real treat of hearing the players speak.

In this quiz you will be given three situations that a player is faced with and then choose from three different options for how the player reacted. Only one of the answers will be correct.

To start off we actually go back to a time before coronavirus had ruined everything, six years ago, at the 2014 World Cup.

Here’s the plan, gang. On Thursday, July 23, at 2 p.m. EST, we buy as many limited-edition boxes of House Wine Rosé/Cheez-It White Cheddar as we can. We expedite the shipping — we make sure that it arrives by Sunday at 11:00 a.m. EST.

Football is a game to which we all can relate. In fact, most of us grew up playing the beautiful game. If that was you, or if you were a parent, you might remember some of these things from youth soccer.

Soccer Memories We All Have

The parent tunnels. No matter how the game ended, parents line up and create these glorious tunnels. As a player, those tunnels made you feel invincible. That was the quickest you’ve ever run. As a parent, … well tunnels probably weren’t your favorite. And if they were, congrats, you were probably team mom.

The fine folks running Premier League side Southampton’s Twitter are one step ahead of everyone else. Having fun and creative social media pages are important for any club or company. The18’s Instagram, Twitter and Facebook are prime examples.

Conspiracy theories are some of life’s little gems. They spice up a world that probably doesn’t need to be spicier than it already is, … but hey, sometimes people need to escape reality. And personally, I love conspiracy theories. My favorite is the Denver International Airport theory. 

But that’s a story for another time. Honestly, there’s nothing like drinking a piping hot cup of coffee and watching conspiracy theory videos to get the morning started right.

I remember my first out-of-town soccer tournament like it was eight years ago … . I woke up at the butt-crack of dawn for my parents to drive me two hours to the wonderful desert wasteland of Pueblo, Colorado. I’m sorry if you live there, the green chile is great but that’s about it.

Having a beverage while watching sports is a tradition unlike any other. The performance of the team you’re supporting can be a large factor for what and how much you’re drinking. This list covers some of the top teams in Europe and what you’ve been drinking for the past several months based on who you support.

One of the most difficult decisions to make the day of a youth soccer game is what to eat before game time. The late-afternoon games are the worst because enough day goes by that you either starve during the day or eat something and end up getting cramps during the game. I was faced with this brutal conundrum once and it still haunts me to this day. 

In the NWSL Challenge Cup bubble, most players wanted coffee to fuel their bodies.

And the NWSL delivered! A coffee truck was quickly brought on scene for players to enjoy. Thank goodness.
