With the retirement of Clint Dempsey earlier this week, the USMNT lost a legend, the greatest goal scorer the country has ever seen (on the men’s side, at least). So one of the few Americans left in the Premier League decided to pay homage to the Texan, as seen with this wonderful DeAndre Yedlin goal vs Manchester City on Saturday.
Raúl Jiménez is enjoying a fine start to his Premier League career. Was.
The former Club América forward spent a year at Atlético Madrid and three at Benfica before joining Wolverhampton on loan ahead of this season. He scored a late equalizer against Everton in Wolves’ first match back in the Premier League and has started every league match so far.
But Saturday’s match against West Ham and fellow Mexico international Javier Hernández did not go so well for Jiménez.
The 2018-19 Europa League group stage draw on Friday placed Arsenal in Group E alongside Portugal’s Sporting, Azerbaijan’s FK Qarabag and Ukraine’s Vorskla Poltava.

In what can only be described as fantastic news, the English Football Association (FA) has decided to increase the FA Cup prize money.
The news really did fly under the radar for many fans, but it is our duty to provide you with this important piece of information.
The 2018-19 FA Cup prize money is almost double what it was from the previous editions of English football’s most prestigious trophy. From the point of winning a First Round Qualifying match, the prize money doubled for every stage.
STOP THE PRESSES! We’ve got some pulp for you: Unami Emery has banned Arsenal players from drinking fruit juice at London Colney. That’s right, gone are the days of sucking down Simply Lemonade (I like the raspberry best) and cracking open a Snapple (I like the kiwi strawberry best) to read “Real Fact” #646 inside the bottle cap.
Things started inconspicuously enough for Clint Dempsey following his $4 million January move from New England to Fulham back in 2006. However, the slow start was entirely forgiven when the 22-year-old bundled home his first goal for the club (the first strike in the video above) against Liverpool at the tail end of the season. The goal was momentous, saving the club from relegation and guaranteeing its place in the top flight for the 2007-08 season.
It’s been a rough start for new boss Manuel Pellegrini and West Ham in the Premier League, where the club has opened the new campaign with three consecutive defeats, but the Hammers took a positive step forward by beating League One side AFC Wimbledon in the second round of the EFL Cup Tuesday.
Tottenham’s position as the target of the Meme Lords soccersplaining fury came to an end today following a stirring 3-0 victory over Manchester United at Old Trafford. The internet will now turn its collective fury at Jose Mourinho, who — surprisingly for a 55-year-old and two-time Champions League winner — seems to be genuinely affected by the treatment he’s receiving from various hacks and the Twittersphere.
We’ve seen some cracking goals this weekend from the likes of Jean Seri, Kylian Mbappe and Fabian Johnson, but the best undoubtedly transpired in England’s Northern Premier League (the seventh tier of English football) match between Mickleover Sports and North Ferriby United on Frid
