Sex Abuse Review Finds ‘Significant Institutional Failings’ In English FA

England's Football Association acted much too slowly to protect children against sexual abuse in the sport because of its own "significant institutional failings," a review into historic child abuse concluded.

The independent review, commissioned by English football's governing body in 2016, found there were at least 240 suspects and 692 survivors of sexual abuse as of August last year.

The review was launched after a victim broke taboo by speaking in public about how he was abused as a young footballer by his coach, encouraging many others to break their silence.

Why Loyola Is The Next Leicester, And Other Soccer Comparisons To Help With Your March Madness Bracket

For a while now, I have touted that college basketball and European soccer, despite an ocean between them, are very much two parallel sports.

The fervor of college basketball student sections, something not found at most professional sports games in the United States, is the closest facsimile to thousands of mad ultras at a European football match, making home advantage so important in each sport.

Digno Heredero De Borghi: El Delicioso Gol De Rabona De Lamela En El Arsenal vs. Tottenham

Mmm…mmm…mmm. Tottenham perdió 2-1 ante Arsenal, en el derbi del norte de Londres, pero es imposible no hablar del gol que Erik Lamela convirtió para los Spurs: una rabona deliciosa y fantástica, digna de Claudio Borghi, el hombre que las convirtió en arte.

Kun Agüero Hizo Su Primer Gol En Premier League Después De 14 Meses. ¿Podemos Ahora Terminar Con La Pandemia?

Manchester City galopa y absolutamente nada parece evitar el hecho de que será el equipo campeón de la Premier League 2020/21. Hoy, los Cityzens dieron un paso más rumbo a ese objetivo con un categórico triunfo 0-3 ante Fulham. ¿Lo más destacado? El tercer gol fue obra de Sergio Agüero, quien no marcaba en la liga inglesa desde el 21 de enero de 2020. No, no es un error de tipeo. El Kun llevaba 14 meses en el dique seco, más o menos lo mismo que acumula el mundo en esta maldita pandemia de COVID-19.

Érik Lamela Pulls Off Unbelievable Rabona Goal In North London Derby

Tottenham produced very little in the opening half of Sunday’s North London derby against Arsenal. The Gunners moved with more fluidity, occupied the more dangerous areas and limited a Spurs side starting with Harry Kane, Son Heung-min, Gareth Bale and Lucas Moura to just one shot. 

But holy Ødegaard, you’ve never seen a shot quite like this one.

Why Palace’s Zaha Refused To Kneel In Protest Of Racism

Crystal Palace forward Wilfried Zaha became the first Premier League player not to take a knee in protest against racism when he stayed standing with his hands behind his back before kickoff in Saturday's 1-0 win over West Bromwich Albion.

The Ivory Coast international said last month he would stop taking a knee before matches because he believes the meaning of the gesture, which he called "degrading," has been lost.

Richarlison: De Vender “Toffees” En Las “Favelas” De Brasil A Ganarse El Corazón De Los “Toffees” En La “Premier League”

Al Everton FC se le conoce como el equipo de los caramelos o “The Toffees.” La tienda de caramelos “Mother Noblett’s” estaba ubicada entre Everton Brow y Brow Side en el Everton Village, bastión del club de Mersyside.

Desde entonces, ya es tradición que una niña, conocida como la “Toffee Lady” arroje los “Everton Mints,” que fueron vendidos por la tienda a la multitud en Goodison Park antes que se jugaran los cotejos en casa del Everton.    

Some Interesting Notes About This Past Weekend’s Soccer TV Ratings

On Saturday, ABC broadcast a Bundesliga match for the first time ever. Gone are the days of hoping you can find the Bundesliga on tape delay a day or two later as major broadcasters are giving the beautiful game the attention it deserves in the U.S., and not just for major Premier League matches. Now that the soccer TV ratings are out for the past weekend, we wanted to point out a few interesting facts about the viewership.

Tuchel Uses Coach Speak When Asked About Pulisic’s Lack Of Playing Time

Chelsea winger Christian Pulisic has struggled for playing time under new manager Thomas Tuchel but the German said on Friday the 22-year-old is part of his plans at the Premier League club.

Pulisic has played 134 minutes and is yet to start a league game under Tuchel, who replaced Frank Lampard in late January and has led the London club on an unbeaten run of 11 games.

"He is in my plans, he is an important player," Tuchel said before Saturday's trip to Leeds United.

Forget VAR, It's Time To Rethink The Way Football Arbitrates Aerial Challenges

Much of the discussion surrounding soccer refereeing this season has focused on the use of the Video Assistant Referee. The VAR controversy is dangerous to the modern game, but there is another issue — a serious player safety concern — that is being carelessly overlooked because of the VAR commotion.
