Having lost Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Kim Kallstrom and their manager Erik Hamren after Euro 2016, Sweden still managed to draw with the Netherlands in Stockholm.
For the Netherlands, their only possible excuse is that they’re now terrible. With nine more qualifying matches still to play, the Dutch have time to improve, it’s just difficult to foresee where that improvement will come from.
There's a soccer moose on the loose in Colorado and it's doing stepovers like a hairy Cristiano Ronaldo with antlers.
Just call it Moose-a Sissoko. Or Moose-a Dembele. Or Ahmed Moose-a.

Para los oponentes de la pretemporada de la Universidad de Missouri-St. Louis Tritons, esto no es lo que llamarías un comienzo de ensueño. A los 4,49 segundos del partido, se encuentran con una derrota por 1-0 ante la UMSL gracias a este maravilloso gol de la mediocampista/adelantera de los Tritones, Kayla Delgado.
La guardameta rival está de pie sobre su área de 18 yardas mientras el árbitro da el pistoletazo de salida, presumiblemente muy emocionada por ponerse en marcha bajo el brillante sol de Missouri.
Everyone’s got a soft spot in their heart for AS Roma, apart from Lazio supporters of course. The club represents the Eternal City, the Italian capital with a history spanning more than two and a half thousand years. Its standing as one of the birthplaces of Western civilization makes anyone’s three-day visit turn into conversational fodder for the rest of their lifetime.
Here at The18, we’re starting a movement. Lasting change has only ever been achieved when like-minded people come together to advocate or protest. In solidarity, we’re going to stop the flop.
In a rambling interview that managed to steer clear of the cliche while touching on everything from Paul Pogba’s relationship with Alex Ferguson to brilliant impersonations of Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Patrice Evra, Thierry Henry and Pogba shared a throughly enjoyable interview on Sky Sports.
Some of the highlights of the eight-minute clip include Pogba revealing that he’ll debut a new celebration this season (“New team, new things.”) and that he had a Thierry Henry poster in his room growing up.
Chicharito fanboys and fangirls flocked to a recent meet-and-greet event in Leverkusen to get up close and personal with the Mexican striker.
Chicharito flashed his famous smile and was extremely personable and charismatic with his supporters, signing autographs and posing for photographs.
The effort was clearly appreciated by fans who’d come as far as Puebla, Mexico to see their hero.
Chicharito scored 17 goals in 28 Bundesliga appearances for Bayer Leverkusen last season, and the El Tri international is targeting even more this campaign.
Like father, like son. Enzo Alan Zidane Fernandez, known commonly as Enzo, registered a fantastic assist in a friendly match between Real Mardid and Stade de Reims.
Enzo’s nonchalant style, his effortless ability to stroll beyond would-be tacklers and his penchant for Cruyff turns, step overs and beautiful passing makes him a carbon copy of his father.
Except for the head of hair that is.
