We were treated to an all-time CONCACAF moment last week when Ronnie Brunswijk, the 60-year-old Vice President of Suriname, started and played 54 minutes in the round of 16 of the CONCACAF League.
Brunswijk suited up for Inter Moengotapoe (IMT), the club he owns, as they lost 6-0 to Honduran side Olimpia. Needless to say, he looked a little out of place:
Una investigación por evasión tributaria y lavado de dinero en el fútbol argentino salpica hoy a la Liga MX.
La justicia del país sudamericano allanó hoy las oficinas de la Asociación de Fútbol Argentino (AFA), así como las sedes de ocho clubes, en busca de documentos y papeles vinculados a traspasos de jugadores realizados por el agente Uriel Pérez.
More famous than our smartest minds, richer than our most corrupt politicians, footballers are the pinnacle of cultural relevance in today’s society, especially in Europe. All the best footballers have, at one time or another, been paid to appear in an advertisement to promote a product. So what is the best soccer commercial of all time? I submit for your viewing pleasure, Peter Schmeichel’s bacon promo.
Tobin Heath has arrived in North London. The new Arsenal signing is available for the Gunners’ showdown with Manchester City on Sunday. But fans wanting to sport the Tobin Heath Arsenal jersey for the occasion might have some trouble getting their gear on time.
Because of high demand, Arsenal.com is reporting a delay in printing Tobin Heath jerseys.
The Portland Thorns have already won two trophies this year and sit six points clear atop the NWSL standings. They are on fire on the pitch. Unfortunately, they’re catching fire off the pitch too.
The bus carrying Thorns players and staff while on a road trip to play the Chicago Red Stars caught fire on Thursday evening. Thankfully, no injuries were reported.
Hi everyone!
Manchester United are not being awarded penalties this season after a "certain manager" last term expressed concern they were being given too many, coach Ole Gunnar Solskjaer said on Friday.
Solskjaer criticised officials last week for denying Cristiano Ronaldo two "stonewall" penalties in the 2-1 league win at West Ham United.
Liverpool boss Jürgen Klopp earlier this year said United have had more spot-kicks in two years under Solskjaer than Liverpool have in his entire five-and-a-half year reign.
There’s never been a better time to be a USMNT fan and a fan of FIFA and European football. With an impressive 22 American men playing in Europe’s continental club competitions, it could be a legitimate strategy to build your FUT squad around U.S. players. With that in mind, we’ve done the hard work for you and found the best Americans in FIFA 22.
There was some good news and some bad news from UEFA on Thursday. The good: European football’s governing body announced it will double the prize money available for the 2022 Women’s Euros. The bad: The Women’s Euro prize money is a miniscule fraction of the men’s Euro prize money.
I finally got around to watching the “LFG” documentary on the USWNT’s fight for equal pay earlier this week. My delay was mostly justified, as there wasn’t really any new information for anyone who has been paying attention to the saga over the last five years, but it was a good opportunity to see some of the world’s best footballers off the pitch and a strong reminder of the ongoing struggles women’s soccer players face.
