Who Is This Baby Boy Who Scored That Worldie For Man City Today?

I’ll be honest, I tuned into Manchester City’s third-round FA Cup match against fourth-tier Swindon Town mostly to see how American Zack Steffen performed in goal. I came away impressed with 19-year-old Cole Palmer, who scored a banger of a goal to go with an assist in City’s 4-1 win on Friday.

As a longtime Arsenal fan, I may be a bit biased when I say this, but the most striking adidas jersey I’ve ever seen was unveiled on Friday by the North London club. You won’t be able to buy this amazing Arsenal white kit, but there’s a great reason behind it.

2021’s Most Successful Coach Snubbed From FIFA Best Finalists; We’re Not At All Surprised

There was but one major global international soccer tournament in 2021. For some reason, the coach who inspired an underdog victory in that competition wasn’t deemed worthy by FIFA to even be a finalist for the organization’s FIFA Best Coach of 2021 award.

Chelsea Has One Foot In Carabao Cup Final Courtesy Of Outrageously Comical Spurs Own Goal

A ridiculous Tottenham own goal helped Chelsea to a 2-0 victory in the first leg of the Carabao Cup semifinal. Ben Davies is the unlucky fellow credited for the own goal.

It's now early January, which means the busy holiday fixture list gives way to the equally lively middle rounds of domestic cup competitions.

The early rounds of domestic cups are frenzied affairs, with obscurely named sides earning rare upsets but more frequently earning massive defeats. The later rounds are more sanitized, with top-flight sides dominating the proceedings. 

Big Tackles And Buzz Cuts: Creating The Ultimate Brexit Ball XI
