Ali Krieger and Ashlyn Harris are making the most of staying inside during quarantine without any soccer. Krieger overestimated her goalkeeper abilities as she attempted Harris’ hand-eye coordination training. After Krieger’s attempt, she credited goalkeepers and admitted it was not easy whatsoever. 

Whereas her partner Harris effortlessly caught every single ping pong ball, Krieger, despite being very concentrated, well, she did the best she could. This is the kind of entertaining content the world needs.

Whilst soccer has all but come to a halt around the globe, many fans have turned to Netflix to get their footie fix. The streaming behemoth has a fantastic library of soccer-centric movies, shows and documentaries; in fact, some of the best Netflix shows are about soccer.

Robert Lewandowski proved to the world why he's a striker and not a goalkeeper when a video from his Instagram revealed his terrible abilities in goal. The Bayern Munich star was playing in the yard with his two-year-old daughter Klara when he committed one of the worst acts of goalkeeping ever seen.

Due to events, is your dialogue with work colleagues now limited to Google Hangouts and Zoom conferencing? Has quality time with friends and family been restricted to phone calls? Have you now realized, weeks later, that you just don’t have that much to say?

Take it from me — someone whose job is to convince you otherwise — there’s actually not that much worth communicating. There's no shame in that; most noise deprives us of our peace of mind and better feelings.  

I don’t know what this woman was pitching in this conference call, but it’s a yes from me. I’m all in. Let’s produce 100,000. Shut 'em down, open up shop. Oh, no. That’s how Ruff Ryders roll.

Her ability to stay cool and collected in the face of what appears to be Querétaro’s Jair Pereira smashing into stuff is as impressive as an Edwardian cockerel. 

Every former footballer can think back to their playing days and remember those games when the elements went wild. Sometimes you were about to pass out due to heat exhaustion, freeze to death in tundra-like weather or drown from a downpour of rain.

The professionals have to deal with the elements as well, as seen in this list of the worst weather football games ever.

The Worst Weather Football Games Of All Time

#1. The Cold

Due to EVENTS, there are things I miss about soccer — namely the performance, observance and existence of it. Alas, there’s not going to be any soccer for a while, and that’s for the best. The virus doesn’t move, we move it, so it’s time to stop moving. 

Staying at home is hard. National Women’s Soccer League players and staff, who were getting ready to start the league’s eighth season, have struggled to deal with it just as much as the rest of us. But many NWSL clubs have found the perfect way to stay connected and prevent boredom while we all practice social distancing to prevent the spread of coronavirus.

As everyone is trapped inside trying to keep busy, TikTok has been taking over the worldwide boredom. From dances to funny pranks and new celebs joining the community, you will definitely be entertained. 

Chelsea's Christian Pulisic decided to take his talents to the TikTok world and he did not disappoint. In a time of negative news and worry, Pulisic found a way to accidentally put smiles on every football fan's face.

If you need some light in your life check out his first and only TikTok, proof that Pulsiic is just like the rest of us:

There is nothing more American than a McDonald’s apple pie and Major League Soccer. Probably. But is there a correlation between MLS success and a club’s proximity to McDonald’s? Let’s take a closer look.

There are around 14,000 McDonald’s restaurants in the United States. So it’s no surprise every MLS stadium falls within four miles of a Big Mac and fries. We took a look at every MLS club and its proximity to the closest McDonald’s and found some interesting trends.
