Spanish YouTuber Spursito Trolls Half Of Twitter With Fake Marcelo-To-Leicester Rumor

If you saw anything about Marcelo being linked to Leicester City in the last day of the transfer window, it was probably fake, and you can thank Spursito for that.

The transfer window is, as we know, filled with an absurd amount of rumors and leaks of potential signings in the world of soccer. We’re thrown stories and "exclusives" that unfold transfer fees, contract sizes, talks, meetings, you name it. Yet, are they true?

Spursito, for one, showed us that we are often catered stories and rumors for the sake of clicks rather than for their validity. 

Tim Tebow Bought A Soccer Team And Fans Are Pissed

Tim Tebow bought a soccer team in Jacksonville, Florida. Soccer fans in Jacksonville are not happy about it.

Tebow, a former college football star and subpar NFL quarterback, is part of an ownership group that acquired rights to a USL Championship team in Jacksonville, the league announced Tuesday. The club is aiming to begin play in 2025 in the second division of U.S. soccer and will also include a USL Super League (women’s) team.

Soccer Dad Assaults Ref In Arizona While Son Threatens To Kill The Official

A youth soccer match at the Graham County Fairgrounds in Safford, Arizona, ended with deputies being called to the scene after multiple reports of a parent tackling the referee before his 17-year-old son threatened the official with gun violence.

Pulisic, Snubbed From 5th Straight Start, Storms To Locker Room After Southampton Defeat

Christian Pulisic’s situation at Chelsea worsens by the day and took an even worse turn during Chelsea’s 2-1 defeat to Southampton on Tuesday.

Paul Pogba Says He’s Victim Of Bizarre Extortion Attempts From An Organized Gang

France midfielder Paul Pogba said he is the victim of extortion attempts and threats from an organized gang and that authorities in Italy and France are investigating the matter.

NWSL Fans Left Baffled As Ref Rewards A Goal With A Corner Kick

While play in the National Women’s Soccer League is some of the best in the world (I’d argue it’s the best league top to bottom), we have to be honest and admit one thing is clearly holding the NWSL back: officiating. The NWSL has far too many mistakes by its referees, made all the worse by the fact there is no VAR (for now).

Gotham FC was the victim of a particularly horrible piece of officiating against Angel City on Sunday, as if the New York/New Jersey club needed any more bad luck this season. 

Soccer Mascot Lights Up Unsuspecting Child During Preseason NFL Game

The Colorado Rapids suffered a humiliating 6-0 defeat to the Philadelphia Union on Saturday at Subaru Park. Maybe that explains a shocking piece of aggression from RapidMan halfway across the country back in Colorado, where the Rapids mascot laid out an unsuspecting child.

Puma Commits An International War Crime Against Switzerland

Already the ugliest World Cup on every conceivable grounds, it seems like Puma has elected to pay homage to that fact with a horrendous new collection of away kits for its stable of competitors in Qatar — Switzerland, Uruguay, Senegal, Serbia, Ghana and Morocco.   

I feel bad for Switzerland. Here they are, qualifying for major tournament after major tournament with a population the size of Virginia, doing things like eliminating France at Euro 2020, and Puma does something like this to them. It's completely uncalled for. 

Nottingham Forest Left Unimpressed By Richarlison's Sudden Display Of Juggling Ability

It's always a Brazilian, isn't it? 

On Sunday, with Spurs cruising to a 2-0 victory over Nottingham Forest at City Ground, Tottenham's Richarlison had a little fun at the expense of the 30,000-strong crowd and drew a stern rebuke from the opposing team's manager for expressing himself out on the pitch. This is basically a week in the life of Neymar.

FIFA's 11-Day Ban Of India Has Disastrous Consequences For Women's Team At Asian Championship

BENGALURU - India's soccer fraternity breathed a sigh of relief as FIFA lifted the suspension imposed on it after 11 days, but the decision came too late for Gokulam Kerala FC whose hopes of playing at the AFC Women's Club Championship were shattered.

FIFA suspended the All India Football Federation (AIFF) on Aug. 15 for undue third-party influence leading to Gokulam Kerala being banned from the club championship — a pilot tournament before the launch of the AFC Women's Champions League in 2024.
