The Story Behind The Worst (Best?) Photo In MLS History

Brek Shea shirtless, jeans barely hanging on to the footballer’s chiseled abs. A model in lingerie, eyes glassy like she just ate too much Thanksgiving dinner. And a baby donkey, half-asleep and half-aware of the brunette stroking its neck. 

It is, perhaps, the greatest photo in MLS history. I’ll also accept worst photo of all time.

The above photo conjures so many questions.

Alex Morgan On Scooping Dog Poo And Whether She’s Actually A Cat Person

There is nothing more important to a household than the family pets. Well, maybe the humans, but Alex Morgan knows even that is pushing it.

“Dog — cats — alpacas — people,” Morgan said in her latest tier-ranking of animals, obtained exclusively by The18 thanks to an interview set up by Stella & Chewy’s, which makes food for the top two animals on the USWNT star’s ranking. 

Outrageous Display Of Dribbling Upstaged By Fine Boi With The Zoomies

Adelaide United kept pace with Central Coast Mariners at the top of Australia’s A-League by defeating Macarthur 3-1 at Coopers Stadium on Wednesday. 

Highlights from the match include 20-year-old winger Al Hassan Touré decimating three defenders at once, a lovely finish by Ben Halloran and a feral cat that clearly just wanted to try "the new Parmi Burger at Macca’s" … I have zero clue what’s going on at McDonald’s franchises Down Under but I like it.

Meet Gabby, The Only Thing Capable Of Outpacing Kylian Mbappé

If you frequently use Twitter, then you know that a little Papillon dog named Gabby is trending once again. This speedy little dog stunned the world with her pace in 2019 and is once again on my timeline. The question must be asked, how fast is Gabby and is she faster than Kylian Mbappé?

The first thing to do in answering the question of how fast is Gabby is to review her 2019 footage. Gabby put on an electrifying performance at the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show. Dare I say this performance was equally as impressive as Mbappé's game against Argentina at the 2018 World Cup?

Este Pájaro Le Puso Huevos Al Náutico Vs. Vera Cruz Del Campeonato Pernambucano

En la jerga futbolera, sabemos que el concepto “poner huevos” es meter, correr y dejar la vida dentro de la cancha. Y un poco de eso es lo que se vio en el partido en que el Naútico venció 3-1 al Vera Cruz, en la jornada 3 del Campeonato Pernambucano, en Brasil. Los “huevos”, eso sí, no fueron un aporte de alguno de los 22 jugadores que entraron al Estadio dos Aflitos, sino que de un pájaro que interrumpió el juego para depositar a su futuro polluelo en medio del campo.

Beautiful, Well-Behaved Shepherd Dog Interrupts Swiss Super League Match

A high-profile match between FC Zurich and Sion in the Swiss Super League was brought to a halt in the 40th-minute when a beautiful White Swiss Shepherd Dog appeared on the near touch-line before scampering down the wing.

As everyone wondered what to do next, FC Zurich chairman Ancillo Canepa appeared from his presidential suite, ran down the stairs past the substitutes and helped the dog find its way back down the tunnel.

Ref Shows Dog Red Card For Invading Pitch One Too Many Times

During the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic with more people working from home, it’s not uncommon for house pets to join in on work meetings. My cat has jumped into my lap during countless Zoom meetings, either loving the attention or completely oblivious. Pets have also continued to pop up in soccer matches; we’re never upset to see a good boy or girl interrupt a game in search of a belly rub. 

But everyone has to get back to work eventually, and when an animal doesn’t leave you alone, drastic measures must be taken, as was the case as a dog was shown a red card this week in Serbia.

Pitch-Invading Dog Can’t Get His Adidas Boots On

Some of those new adidas boots are awfully hard to get on. Just look at this young Bolivian pup — we’ll call him Barko Etcheverry — trying to lace-up for his local Primera División side. 

The shoe wouldn’t fit, so he was forced to quit (after a period of feigning injury and rolling around the pitch).
