As Major League Soccer grows, so too do the rivalries and competitive spirit within the league. The attractiveness of MLS has grown every day since its introduction to America in the early 90s with the help of world-class players retiring to the league.
You can never be too sure about how you will affect someone’s life. Our actions, words, and emotions can do so many different things across the 6 degrees that separate every single human being in the world. It is almost impossible to track how this affected that, there.
How old is Neymar?
The short answer is 24, but that's the short answer. We're not here for the short answer. We're breaking it down so far that no one will ever wonder how old Neymar is again. You can thank us later.
Zinedine Zidane, apparently, can still dribble the you-know-what out of the ball. Zidane and his son Enzo, a midfielder in Real Madrid's system (who is no slouch himself with the ball at his feet), took on two freestylers in some kind of weird freestyle dribbling game.
Steven Gerrard has given a ot of interviews about leaving Liverpool since his decision to leave the club for the LA Galaxy was announced, but none of them are as candid or insightful as this one with former England teammate Rio Ferdinand.
Mexico head coach Miguel Herrera recently came out stating that Javier Chicharito Hernandez could have been at the Copa America if it hadn’t been for some confusion with the Mexican Soccer Federation.
If you are a Liverpool fan, you should be pretty stoked right now. Your transfer window has gone from about as underwhelming as James Milner at Karaoke Night, to downright exciting, like James Milner at…well, it’s exciting. Just know that.
There are a few names for what Chile's Gonzalo Jara did to Uruguay's Edinson Cavani in the Copa America quarterfinals, which Chile won, 1-0.
One of my coworkers called it "credit-carding." A friend who played high school soccer with my cousin calls it "checking his oil." My high school basketball coach calls it "cornholing."
There's no way to sugarcoat this: Gonzalo Jara gave Edinson Cavani an involuntary prostate exam. He stuck his finger up Edinson Cavani's ass. Then he fell to the ground and pretended Cavani hit him in the face.
Lionel Messi is 28 years old.
Depending on when you became a fan of soccer, that will strike you in a certain way. If you fell in love with the game around 2005 or 2006, you will probably not be able to believe your ears. “I remember when he played with Ronaldinho!” you’ll say — as in back when Ronaldinho was good. Yeah, that long ago — he has aged quite a lot in that time. He’s a man now, not a boy, not even a young man.
The highlight of Chicharito's Real Madrid career has to be the goal he scored against city-rivals Atletico Madrid during the second leg of the quarterfinals of the UEFA Champions League.
That strike in the 88th minute took Real Madrid to the semifinal against Juventus. Thanks to the hard work of their Mexican forward, Los Blancos had finally defeated their tough as nails hometown rivals.
With that strike, Chicharito had proven himself an asset to Real Madrid’s season, a season that saw him for the most part banished to the bench.
