This Raheem Sterling Goal Shows He Doesn’t Care What Anybody Thinks

Guys, Raheem Sterling might be a stone cold gangster. 

We always say that soccer can bring the truth out of people. If someone feels bad, or guilty, or if a crowd is really getting to them, then they tend to play bad too. It’s not exactly scientific. It can be quietly frankly wrong, but it just makes a certain kind of sense. If a player screws over a fan base and then proceeds to play poorly, or get injured, we tend to say to ourselves, “Good.” It’s as if some kind of universal balance is being maintained. 

Young Women Give Their Opinions On Gareth Bale. It Gets Ugly.

They say women are the taste makers of every generation. If that is true then maybe this video has something to do with why so many people took a metaphorical dump on Gareth Bale in the 2014/15 season. 

For anyone who follows Real Madrid, you’ll know that Bale was the greatest thing since sliced bread at Tottenham the year before he moved to Real Madrid, and for his first year at Madrid, that continued: he scored the game winning goal in the 2014 Champions League Final, and did this to Barcelona:

Pele is a legend, the first player to be known around the world as the greatest to ever live. His status as the greatest of all time is up for debate today, but there is no denying his accomplishments.

5 Moments That Will Make Us Miss Ronaldinho When He's Gone

Ronaldinho is the best.

At his peak, nobody looked happier while playing so well, and nobody played better while looking so happy. 

This joy that he brings to the pitch flows into the rest of his life. It has become his aura. 

That's why it's sad to watch his career wind down. We know that one day, the joy will be gone. We won't get to watch it anymore.

With that in mind, here are five moments that will make us miss Ronaldinho when he's gone, but also remember him forever.

This Goalkeeper Drill Is Absolutely Unbelievable.

In their latest attempt to intimidate the Turkish Premier League, Fenerbahce have released video of their keepers performing superhuman feats of gymnastics and goalkeeping AT THE SAME TIME!

Watch The One Quality That Gerrard Pique Says Sets Luis Suarez Apart

A Comedian Just Made It Rain On The Most Powerful Man In Soccer

I almost feel bad for Sepp Blatter at this point; keyword: almost. 

Don’t get me wrong, what is happening to him is completely pathetic and pitiful, but he deserves it all. His first words of his latest press conference were so ironic it was like someone paid him to take classes in poetic irony just for the occasion:

“We have to clean here first.”

Yes, Sepp, yes you do. 

Kolo Toure Is Scared Of Koalas, Among Other Animals

One of the great benefits of preseason tours is players get to learn more about each other and bond before the season starts.

A fantastic, and sometimes hilarious, side-effect of this is the fans get to learn more about the players too, and sometimes we learn more than we ever though we would.

The hilarity of this side-effect was on display during Liverpool's tour of Australia, when defender Kolo Toure revealed he is afraid of animals.

You Haven’t Seen Crazy Until You’ve Seen Indoor Soccer Played On Bikes

My fiends and I attempted to play soccer on bicycles back in middle school. It didn’t end well. It ended in tears, in fact. 

So it’s more than a little shocking to see professional athletes that have taken playing soccer on bikes to the pinnacle of it’s art. And it really does have a certain beauty to it, a jerky, easy-rider-with-laser-beams beauty.
