While James Rodriguez has been struggling to assert himself into Real Madrid manager Zinedine Zidane’s preferred starting eleven, there’s no doubting the quality of the Colombian midfielder. His penchant for spectacular goals has left many viewers wondering just how good the talented attacker could ultimately be.
The emergence of Cyle Larin as one of the most talented strikers in all of North America has been as meteoric as it has been resounding. Born in Ontario, Canada, Larin is the crown jewel for a rising Canadian side looking to qualify for their second World Cup, and first since 1986.
Some startling information regarding the Qatar 2022 World Cup has come to light. Apparently there might not be enough fan accomodations, and people might have to sleep outside in Bedouin tents during the tournament.
From FOX Sports:
There are a lot of great tournaments in sports; there is The Masters, the UEFA Champions League, the NFL playoffs, the US Open, Wimbledon. the list goes on and on. But if you ask me there are two that are better than all the rest, and they are The World Cup and March Madness. These are the two greatest tournaments in the world.
In 1994 an event happened that shook the very foundation of soccer. During the World Cup in the United States, apparently some marketing hacks decided to have Diana Ross take an exhibition penalty for reasons that are still unclear.
Now, Diana Ross is very talented at many things, singing chief among them. Not chief among them, however, is kicking a soccer ball. Which is how we found ourselves in the position of having to write this article.
Alejandro Bedoya deserves a call up for the USMNT when they take on Guatemala in World Cup Qualifying. Bedoya has become something of a hero of late for French Ligue 1 side Nantes. After not scoring for Nantes for nine months, the United States international has now scored four in six games. Some of those goals have been extremely important.
This Sunday all over our nation people will gather for what might as well be considered a national holiday.
It is just a perfect embodiment of what America is: food, beer, and Football! And maybe it’s a tad “Grinch That Stole Sundays” of me with all their noise, noise, noise, but I guess I think it’s unfortunate that the sport's biggest game has reduced itself to the spectacle that it has become and it's more about the party, food, commercials and halftime show for most of its viewers than the game itself.
Carli Lloyd can't get no respect. In Starbucks of all places.
We're sure the barista meant no disrespect to the focal point of the USWNT's World Cup-winning attack, but "Nardley" is not a name.

— Carli Lloyd (@CarliLloyd) January 4, 2016Carles Puyol embodies all of the characteristics of a defender you fear: he’s strong, he’s aggressive, he’s got hair to put Tarzan to shame, he just might be an animal of a man. You are used to him scoring goals off of set pieces, but that’s about it when it comes to Carles Puyol skills. He’ll pass around the back like all world-class center-backs do. He’ll have the odd long ball forward.
Andres Cantor's most noticable attribute in his broadcasting is his exuberance. Never was that exuberance more on display than his call of Landon Donovan's goal against Algeria in the 2010 World Cup to send the USA to the knockout round.
