Paul Pogba and Romelu Lukaku (despite neither one being American) seemed to have a pretty awesome holiday yesterday kicking it (literally kicking a soccer ball) by the pool and partying it up with their friends. It's comforting to know that world-class soccer players spend the Fourth of July the same way the rest of us do. Here's a video Paul Pogba posted showing how the two footballers spent the day.
After playing the hero on June 25 against the Portland Timbers, Clint Dempsey was back at it as the Seattle Sounders rolled the Colorado Rapids on July 4th, 3-1. Dempsey, who’s struggled along with the rest of the Sounders attack this season, looks back to his best after registering a brace and an assist on the night, taking his total number of goals this season to seven from 16 games.
Surely you can find some kind of profound meaning in this video of a group of British lads encountering Manchester United attacker Jesse Lingard and completely losing their shit. You could probably ruminate on the nature of fandom, how we should all try to see things through the eyes of a child sometimes, to lend perspective.
Little kids are the best because of their lack of filter. This is clearly the best thing ever to happen to them (until the next best thing ever), and they're not afraid to express it. We should all be so lucky.
