The Red Devils Are On A Highway To Hell

The Red Devils are on a highway to hell. At the end of the summer, Paul Pogba — back as a World Cup Winner — was eager to perform the way he did for France. But neither he nor Manchester United have been playing with the caliber they know they can. They're currently seventh in the Premier League (having only won three of six games). They drew with Wolves on Saturday. They lost to Derby in the League Cup yesterday, getting knocked out in the third round for the first time since 2007.

Daniel Sturridge Follows Shocking Open-Net Miss With Remarkable Scissor-Kick Goal

What do you do when you commit one of the most shocking misses of your career?

Follow it up with one of the best goals of your career, of course.

Daniel Sturridge somehow missed a tap-in with an open net moments into the second half of Liverpool’s League Cup match with Chelsea. Less than 15 minutes later, he was celebrating a brilliant goal to put the Reds in front at Anfield.

But the Sturridge goal vs Chelsea was for naught, as the Blues rallied late for a 2-1 win.

Red Card For Handball Is Straight Out Of Elementary School Recess

That feeling you have is one of extreme déjà vu: This is elementary school recess all over again. You’ve drafted teams, painstakingly setup field dimensions, bickered and argued over whose cone-defined goalmouth is unfairly sized and now it’s finally time to play — there’s not much time left in recess now.

Kickoff!

Maradona Is Better Than Pelé

“Brazilian, Brazilian, you look bitter today/ Is it that Maradona is better, better than Pele” you hear thousands of Argentinians chanting, jumping and waving their arms, mocking their neighbors over the Maradona vs Pele debate. For they think Diego was better than O’rei (The King) Pelé, but truth is that in the albicelestes' hearts, Diego was the greatest of all, not only on top of Pelé, but also of the other Argentinian legends like Leo Messi or Alfredo Di Stefano. All four of these players could be argued to be the GOAT, so why Diego Maradona in particular?

Frank Lampard Returns To Old Trafford, Beats Man United As Coach Of Derby County

Frank Lampard made many trips to Old Trafford as a player in a long career with West Ham, Chelsea and Manchester City. Perhaps the greatest midfielder in the history of the Premier League returned once more to face Manchester United on Tuesday — not as a player, but a manager of Derby County.

Lampard faced off against his former coach at Chelsea, Jose Mourinho. Lampard went home with an unlikely win.

USMNT Midfielder Luca De La Torre Scores First Fulham Goal And Adds Two Assists

Twenty-year-old American midfielder Luca de la Torre — a native of San Diego, California — scored his first competitive goal for Fulham on Tuesday in the Cottagers' 3-1 win over Millwall in the League Cup. Not only did De La Torre bag Fulham’s second of the day, he also assisted Joe Bryan on the first and Cyrus Christie (#COYBIG) on the third.

Here’s his first for the club. 

Patrice Evra Explains Why He Once Took A Massive Dump In Gerard Pique’s Shoes

It’s the headline you did not expect today: Patrice Evra once defecated in Gerard Pique’s shoes at Manchester United. The reason for it, however, is totally understandable. 

According to Spanish daily sports paper Diario AS, Evra once waited months for a pair of boots from Nike that had the names of his kids and other details on them. When Evra finally received them, Pique went to the showers, made a small bonfire and burned them. Nice one, Pique.

The Technique And Swerve On This Volley Is Unlike Anything You’ve Ever Seen

Aston Villa was defeated 2-1 at Villa Park by Sheffield Wednesday on Saturday, but a 53rd minute strike by 23-year-old Scottish international John McGinn briefly offered hope to the Claret & Blue Army.

Although the defeat leaves Villa mired in 12th place in the Championship, the lasting memory of the day will almost certainly be this absurd left-footed volley from McGinn.
