Off the Pitch

Everybody poops, that’s what they say. 

But who among us doesn’t know the fear of having to go No. 2 for the first time at a new partner’s place? What if your partner smells it? Will they hate you for it? Could it end the relationship?

Orlando Pride forward Sydney Leroux knows the pain. She waited six weeks before doing the duty at her boyfriend (now husband) Dom Dwyer’s place. 

Now Leroux is here to tell us it’s OK to poop — there’s no need for fear. You just need a little Poo-Pourri.

Anyone who grew up in the ‘90s has an affinity for the Simpsons. Your parents probably didn’t let you watch it, but you watched it anyway, and you loved it. Sure, the series has had its ups and downs — who among us hasn’t by the time we reached 30? — but it’s an iconic show in American culture. That’s why we absolutely love these soccer players drawn as Simpsons characters.

Anyone who knows someone who has a baby knows how annoying baby posts are on social media. We don't care that Little Timmy got ice cream on his face or Baby Jessica is wearing a cute outfit. 

Baby gender reveals are equally boring. You’ve seen one; you’ve seen them all. 

Except this one.

This Antoine Griezmann baby gender reveal is perhaps the most fitting way for a footballer to find out the sex of his child.

Griezmann is married to Erika Choperena and the couple has a 2-year-old daughter. A second child appears to be on the way after this tweet on Saturday.

Alphonso Davies is one of the most exciting Canadian prospects since Justin Bieber. The 17-year-old Vancouver Whitecaps winger will move to Bayern Munich in January for a record fee for an MLS player. But before he moves abroad, he started a personal project: the Alphonso Davies YouTube channel.
