Former Germany and Bayern Munich striker Mario Gómez provided fans with a scorching hot take and interesting debate.
Appearing on the podcast “Phrasenmäher”, Gómez made the argument that Manuel Neuer’s legacy is just as important to the sport as Lionel Messi’s.
"I would put Manuel Neuer on the same level as Messi in terms of importance in football history," Gómez said. "I don't know if we're all aware of what we experienced with a goalkeeper who revolutionized the game! We'll only understand this 20 years from now."
Does Gómez have a point?
Star Borussia Dortmund defender Mats Hummels couldn’t resist poking fun at the Premier League’s woes in Europe this week as four different EPL teams crashed out of their respective competitions.
Arsenal and Manchester City both suffered quarterfinal exits in the Champions League while Liverpool and West Ham fell short in the Europa League.
EPL fans have mocked the Bundesliga and other leagues for years now with the term “farmer’s league.” The joke is an insult about the league not being competitive as one team always wins it and overall, the league being worse.
Ambitious Welsh side Wrexham secured back-to-back promotions with a thumping 6-0 victory over Forest Green on Saturday to ensure a top-three place in League Two and rewrite the script for Hollywood owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney.

All eyes will be on the United States women’s national team starting XI on Saturday ahead of the SheBelieves Cup semifinal vs. Japan. The elephant in the room is obvious. Will Korbin Albert start the game?

It’s derby week in the MLS season and fans have already started to heat up the highly-anticipated match in Los Angeles. Literally.
A user on X went viral at the start of the week after posting a video of him burning a vintage (and probably very expensive) LA Galaxy jersey ahead of the derby between the seven-time MLS champions and LAFC this weekend.
