It is, perhaps, the greatest hug in sports, maybe even the entire world. The infectious enthusiasm of a Jurgen Klopp hug is impossible not to love, even if you’re an Everton fan.
So in one sense, you can’t blame a reporter in Indiana for using a follow-up question to ask for a Klopp hug of his own.
Carli Lloyd isn’t slowing down on the Women’s World Cup celebrations, especially with her birthday coming up next week.
After watching the Swedish women’s national team finish third at the Women’s World Cup, it appears the men’s national team is going to drastic measures to keep up with the women.
As highlighted by @medverk on Instagram, Sweden is turning to machinery to improve its soccer team, because Zlatan Ibrahimovic just can’t cut it compared to Kosovare Asllani.
The U.S. women’s national team continued its whirlwind tour around America with a stop at the ESPYS in Los Angeles on Wednesday night. Once again, the team cleaned house with two more USWNT ESPYS.
But how about those killer looks despite just flying into town?
Editor's Note: The dog has been found and returned. Read below for more details.
Daniel Sturridge set social media alight Tuesday when he released a video showing the aftermath of a theft of his LA home. In the video Sturridge, who is visibly upset, shares that not only had some valuable bags been stolen and his window broken, but his dog Lucci had also been taken. (Warning: video contains inappropriate language.)
Mario Balotelli is enjoying his summer.
On Saturday, the Italian striker posted an Instagram video of a man he apparently paid €2,000 ($2,246 USD) to ride his moped into the ocean.
We’re not sure if Balotelli required this man to do it in his tighty whities or the man just didn’t want to get his clothes wet, but what followed was the exact thing social media was created for.
The Alex Morgan tea-sipping celebration is catching fire across the country, even finding its way to a minor-league baseball game in the Texas Panhandle town of Amarillo.
While you were probably busy pounding beers and watching fireworks, Zlatan Ibrahimovic had one of his busiest days of the year.
The Galaxy striker had to carry his team to its 11th win, scoring two goals to secure that win. He then joined the internet in the #BottleCapChallenge trend.
And he did all of this, with his name misspelled on his jersey.
Leslie Jones, the inimitable comedian of Saturday Night Live and Ghostbusters fame, seems to have just discovered the USWNT and she was losing her shit — in her own unique, lovely way — when the Americans beat England in the Women’s World Cup semifinals on Tuesday.
It can often take time for casual Americans to warm up to World Cups, men’s or women’s, for better or worse, even USWNT celebrity fans.
In 2011, the interest only heightened after the USWNT’s wild win over Brazil. Four years ago was a bit of a slow burn, not really hitting its peak until Carli Lloyd started taking over in the knockout rounds.
