Turkey’s Caglar Soyuncu scored a goal in training that I had to watch about three times to understand what I'd just seen. Soyuncu could be in serious trouble for performing such wizardry outside of Howgarts.
If this Soyuncu training goal was pulled off in the upcoming Euros, it would surely break the internet, the fishing nets and any other forms of nets.
The U.S. men's national team defeated Mexico in a highly contested match on Sunday to win the CONCACAF Nations League, marking the country’s first competitive victory over its rivals since September 10th, 2013.
The fruitless streak continued so long that I personally graduated middle school, high school and was just one year away from graduating college before the U.S. was victorious again. Christian Pulisic, the American captain who scored the go-ahead goal, was just 14 years old when the U.S. last claimed victory.
BERLIN - VfB Stuttgart striker Silas Wamangituka has revealed to his club that his name and birth date are different and that the data had been changed years ago by a former agent who was controlling him as a teenager, the Bundesliga club said on Tuesday.
The forward told the club he had been living in fear since leaving the Democratic Republic of Congo at the age of 17 to play for French lower league club Alès.
"It was a difficult step for me to reveal my story," the striker said in a club statement. "Only through the support of my new advisor did I dare do this."
We’re four days away from the start of Euro 2020, and the excitement is building across the globe and in all industries. Case in point, here’s an awesome concept from Car Lease Fetcher (the UK’s first car leasing comparison site) that imagines what cleats would look like if designed by Europe’s leading car manufacturers.
Let's make this happen.
Manchester City midfielder Phil Foden is now Europe's most expensive player to buy, according to the CIES Football Observatory, which recently published its latest ranking of players in Europe's big five leagues with the highest estimated transfer value.

Hartford Athletic put the beatdown on New York Red Bulls II in USL Championship play on Saturday night, winning 7-0 despite only holding a 1-0 advantage up until first half stoppage time.
The pick of the bunch was scored by 22-year-old American midfielder Conor McGlynn, who lobbed Anthony Marcucci from deep inside his own half to put Hartford up 5-0 in the 59th minute.
It’s rare that goals from the half-way line actually occur inside the goalscorer’s own half, and it’s even more wild that it was a first-time effort from McGlynn after Hartford had secured possession.
Ahead of Argentina and Lionel Messi beginning 2021 Copa América play against Chile on June 14, adidas has launched the special edition cleats that Messi will wear throughout the tournament, dubbed “El Retorno” (“The Return”).
The name comes from Messi’s transition from the Nemeziz silo back to a boot — the X50 Speedflow — that takes it’s inspiration from the F30 cleats that he wore during Barcelona’s 2007 Copa del Rey run.
Two weeks after breaking a Bundesliga record that stood for 49 years, Robert Lewandowski continues to show to the world why he’s a living cheat code. While on duty with Poland’s national team the 32-year-old showed off an insane move that I shall dub the Lewandowski trick shot.
Todo futbolista sueña con hacer un gol al ángulo. Bueno, todo futbolista que no sea un arquero. Esa casta, en realidad, sueña con un vuelo al rincón que se vea espectacular en la tele y en las portadas de los diarios. Claudio Bravo, portero chileno, tiene un par de esas en su extensa carrera y esta noche agregó una más a la colección, al ahogar un magnífico tiro libre de Lionel Messi, en el 1-1 entre Argentina y La Roja en las Clasificatorias Sudamericanas a Catar 2022.
Miren, por favor.
