Chicharito is on fire. We repeat: CHICHARITO IS ON FIRE.
Javier Hernandez scored against Wolfsburg Saturday, making four goals in six games for the Mexican Bayer Leverkusen striker.

— FOX Soccer (@FOXSoccer) October 31, 2015Chicharito has been going off lately. He had a brace in Bayer Leverkusen's draw against Roma in the Champions League last week, scored again in the Bundesliga this weekend, and now he's gone and done it again with a brace in Bayer's German Cup game.

Wayne Rooney and Cristiano Ronaldo formed one of the most devastating strike partnerships in recent memory. Together, they brought wild success to a Manchester United club where there was no alternative given the pressure and the demands of the fans and media. It's truly impressive what Rooney and Ronaldo accomplished as Red Devils. They should both get testimonials in our opinion, but the Wayne Rooney testimonial will have to do.
Wayne Rooney is not having a ton of luck with the ladies. Or, rather, Wayne Rooney's Twitter is not having a ton of luck with the ladies. OK, some guy in Tinder using only Wayne Rooney tweets is not having a ton of luck with the ladies.
We get to watch though, and the results are predictably hilarious.
We’ve all watched our favorite players clambering down the stairs of the team bus looking relaxed and prepared, the very visage of concentration.
Making their way into the bowels of the stadium to make their final preparations before the match, there’s always one constant in their appearance: headphones.
The staple of the modern athlete, these hulking contraptions, along with a carefully crafted pre-game soccer playlist, blot out any external noise, allowing our heroes to stay focused on the task at hand.
Cristiano Ronaldo has a new pair of boots coming out, and, consequently, Nike and Ronaldo are really ramping up the advertising campaign. The Nike Mercurial Superfly was supposedly inspired by Ronaldo's home island in Portugal, Madeira, as this video shows.
What troubles us is the phrase "these boots have goals." We don't know what it means. It could mean any number of things.
Cristiano Ronaldo is the boss. He is the boss of you. He is the boss of your boss. He is the boss of everyone, with the possible exception of Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who is also the boss.
What makes a man the boss of everyone? Owning a $320,000 car and sitting on it like it's no big deal.
We miss Ronaldinho.
We miss watching him run and pass and dribble and shoot. We miss watching him make defenders look silly, all the while with the silliest of smiles on his face.
We miss the fun, the joy, the hijinks and the incredible moments of magic he produced when playing the beautiful game.
This Luis Suarez goal vs Eibar is what soccer fans expect from Barcelona. We all know the style that Barca plays with. They execute crisp passes, everyone seems to always be in the right place, and they are miles ahead of their opponents. This goal was no different as they equalized the match at 1-1.
After Neymar’s destruction of Rayo Vallecano over the weekend, Barcelona manager Luis Enrique was lavish in his praise of his talented winger; if you learn how to play like Neymar, people could be saying the same about you:
"Neymar is electric, and at the moment, defenders only have two choices when facing him: commit a penalty or let him score. In one word, he was breathtaking."
