FC Barcelona's New Home Kits Are Gross

FC Barcelona released new home kits for the 2021-2022 La Liga season and they're chaotically terrible. The new shirts appear as if the creators never agreed on a set design and continued the fight throughout the process.

With Barcelona being in severe debt, we should have assumed the new kits would be this bad. They feature verticle traditional blaugrana stripes and a new design inspired by the team crest. With tons of stripes and lots of colors, these kits fail to impress.

Finland And Denmark's Response To Eriksen Scare Shows Why This Is The Greatest Sport In The World

After Christian Eriksen collapsed onto the pitch during the EURO 2020 Group B game between Finland and Denmark, both countries' fans and players came together to display perfect sportsmanship. As panic ensued throughout the stadium and no one knew what was happening, the moment quickly became bigger than football.

Petition To Make Nelly Furtado’s 2004 ‘Força’ The Official Song Of Every Euro

LCD Soundsystem’s song “tonite” begins with a lyric that could be applicable to every UEFA European Championship anthem ever written. “Everybody’s singing the same song,” James Murphy laments. “It goes ‘tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight.’ I never realized these artists thought so much about dying.”

What The World Looked Like The Last Time The USMNT Beat Mexico

The U.S. men's national team defeated Mexico in a highly contested match on Sunday to win the CONCACAF Nations League, marking the country’s first competitive victory over its rivals since September 10th, 2013.

The fruitless streak continued so long that I personally graduated middle school, high school and was just one year away from graduating college before the U.S. was victorious again. Christian Pulisic, the American captain who scored the go-ahead goal, was just 14 years old when the U.S. last claimed victory. 

Colombia Vs Ecuador: Dos Países Hermanos Y Bolivarianos En Búsqueda del Sueño Americano

Destacados jugadores de renombre mundial representan a sus respectivas selecciones nacionales y confluyen en territorio brasileño para arrebatarle el cartel de eternos favoritos a los dueños de casa.

What If Car Manufacturers Made Cleats? The Results Are Glorious

We’re four days away from the start of Euro 2020, and the excitement is building across the globe and in all industries. Case in point, here’s an awesome concept from Car Lease Fetcher (the UK’s first car leasing comparison site) that imagines what cleats would look like if designed by Europe’s leading car manufacturers.

Let's make this happen.

What Would You Ask Pulisic If You Had One Question? Well, Here’s What My Goofy Ass Asked

Imagine you get to ask the first American male to win the UEFA Champions League one singular question. What would you ask? Christian Pulisic is sitting there on the other end of the Zoom call staring into your soul awaiting your question. The pressure is on.

This was the situation I found myself in on Wednesday. Concacaf was kind enough to give me — an aspiring 22-year-old sports media graduate who just finished college last month — media accreditation to attend Nations League press conferences and the semifinal matches.

We’re Seeing Prime John Brooks Right Now And It’s Masterful

The excitement around the USMNT is warranted. The quality of our young core is evident in the roll call of clubs they play for: Barcelona, Juventus, Chelsea and Borussia Dortmund among them.

But the expectations have to be tempered. These players are still developing, which is also evident in the roles they play for those teams. Gio Reyna started the highest percentage of league games with BVB at 67.6%, followed by Dest with Barça (60.5%) and then Pulisic with the Blues (47.4%) and McKennie with the Old Lady (47.4%). 

PSG’s New Shorts Are A Holy Matrimony Between Basketball And Soccer

When the Jordan Brand dropped Paris Saint-Germain’s new 2021-22 home kit back on May 14, my initial reaction was: Nice. That looks clean with the Jumpman logo. Carry on everyone.

Wild Pick-Up Match Stories That Will Have You Itching To Get Back Out There
