After releasing a beautiful home jersey back on July 1 — the first of a new five-year deal with adidas — Arsenal is back with its away offering for the 2019-20 season, and the rumors were true: It’s a reimagined version of the famous “bruised banana” design from the early 1990s.
Obviously it’s yellow, it’s got a shaded zig-zag pattern and a navy crew neck collar with navy adidas stripes.
We still don’t know what number he’ll be wearing in Chelsea blue, but we now officially know what day 20-year-old American Christian Pulisic will be joining up with his new club: Tuesday, July 16 — just nine days after the USMNT’s defeat to Mexico in the Gold Cup final.
Paul Pogba may not be with Manchester United when the 2019-20 season eventually starts, having been linked to a move away from Old Trafford if anyone is willing to meet a $225 million transfer fee. But that hasn’t stopped the French midfielder from taking part in the Red Devils’ preseason tour.
Peter Crouch tweeted out Friday morning that he plans to retire from professional soccer at the age of 38.
After a lot of deliberation this summer I have decided to retire from football !
Our wonderful game has given me everything.
I’m so thankful to everyone who helped me get there and to help me stay there for so long. X— Peter Crouch (@petercrouch) July 12, 2019
Arsenal fans were left stunned today when it was announced that captain Laurent Koscielny had refused to attend the club's preseason tour of the United States.
England does not like the VAR. The English FA, apparently full of Luddites, has been one of the last countries to begin to implement video replay, slow to accept that getting calls right is more important than anything else.
Ellen White, England to her core, does not like the VAR either. She’d probably have the Golden Boot wrapped up by now were it not for video replay.
Forest Green Rovers, a League Two club based in Nailsworth, England, does things a bit differently from the rest of the world.
The team claims to be the greenest football club in the world, and, really, it’s hard to argue with that point.
The facilities are powered by renewable energy, players are only served vegan food and the grass is cut by a solar-powered robotic lawnmower (how cool is that?).
After weeks of rumors and other manager candidates dropping like flies, Chelsea finally announced club legend Frank Lampard as the next Blues boss.
Lampard inked a three-year deal with his former club and is ecstatic to return to Stamford Bridge.
Manchester City looks to be wrapping up its first signing of the summer.
With a few players that are starting to age, Pep Guardiola has been looking for immediate replacements. Fernandinho, arguably one of City’s most important players in the past few years, is 34 years old. While he still has a lot to give for Manchester City, he isn’t as young and spry as he used to be.
