Hi there.
If you're reading this, and you've read The18 in the past, you've probably noticed the website looks different. (If not, look around! Pretty cool, right?)
It looks different because we (and by "we" I mean upper management, not me) decided the old version of the website was not cutting the mustard. So we (and by "we" I now mean our web developers, not me) built a new version.
With the FIFA 17 release date (September 27th) fast approaching, EA Sports have begun confirming some of the game's major details. Today, we learned who comprises the top 50 players on FIFA 17. While the decision might seem a contentious one, Cristiano Ronaldo has been named as the greatest footballer alive according to his FIFA 17 rating.
Here are the top 10 players on FIFA 17
10. David De Gea, GK, Manchester United: 90
9. Robert Lewandowski, ST, Bayern Munich: 90
8. Jerome Boateng, CB, Bayern Munich: 90
It's one of the greatest moments for spectators and players alike: witnessing the perfectly struck dead ball. Free kick specialists are a dime a dozen in football. Beating modern keepers from distance has become an incredible art which very few possess. While players like Cristiano Ronaldo and Roberto Carlos have occasionally produced the spectacular, there are very few who can consistently produce the goods. These are the 5 best free kick takers of all-time.
Leigh Griffiths played like a man possessed (as did Kolo Toure) during Celtic’s 5-2 victory over Hapoel Be’er Sheva in their first-leg Champions League playoff victory at Celtic Park. The Scottish striker almost willed Celtic into the Champions League group stage with two goals and an assist on the night.
The Premier League has a strict message for those confronting officials with disrespectful behavior and language: cut the s***.
The PL, English Football League and Football Association have declared player behavior in England as “intolerable”, and they’re sick and tired as all h*** of it.

In the past, we've covered violence in football. Take, for instance, this planned brawl between hooligans in Russia which takes place before every Spartak v. Dynamo match. Or this instance when Saliou Ciss transformed into the Incredible Hulk after being sent off.
Paul Pogba was born March 15, 1993 in Langy-sur-Marne, Siene-et-Marne, France, about 50 miles north of Paris. Born to Guinean parents, he is the youngest of three, with two older twin brothers — Florentin and Mathias — who both ply their trade in football as well.
"Senna" is one of the best sports documentaries we've seen. It holds its own in a genre that's been increasingly crowded with quality films, especially since the launch of ESPN's 30 for 30 series.
Ostensibly, "Senna" has very little to do with Cristiano Ronaldo, but that's about to change. The team behind "Senna" has produced a documentary about the Portuguese superstar that looks at the life of one of the most recognizable athletes in the world, and how he got to be one of the most recognizable athletes in the world.
AC Siena was beating Internazionale Milan 3-2 in 2010. Inter would go on to win the treble that year; beating Barcelona along the way with one of the most classic “Mourinho parks the bus” defensive efforts of all time. Siena, on the other hand, would be relegated. An upset was on hand, but Wesley Sneijder was yet to have his final say.
