Your Weekend Needs This Double Nutmeg From Arsenal’s Danielle Van De Donk
As much as the UEFA Nations League wants you to believe these matches matter and they’re not just meaningless friendlies, is still a bit hard to get exciting about some of the European international matches this weekend with no major tournament on the horizon.
Watch: Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain’s Inspiring Attitude Toward Devastating Injury
Seven months ago, one of Liverpool’s most likable players went down injured in the Champions League semifinals against AS Roma. On Friday, we got an Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain injury update straight from the midfielder’s mouth.
Oxlade-Chamberlain’s first season with Liverpool after moving from Arsenal was cut short by a devastating injury suffered last April. It cost the England man a chance to play in the Champions League final and a place at the World Cup in Russia in the summer.
The U.S. Couldn’t Compete With England, But At Least We Had These 8 Glorious Seconds Of Pulisic

The 20 Premier League clubs agreed in principle to the use of VAR starting in the 2019-20 season at a shareholder’s meeting on Thursday. However, the league will continue testing VAR throughout the remainder of the current season.
Marouane Fellaini Lost His Afro And Somehow Got Even Uglier
We could make references to Samson and his hair or joke about awful World Cup hairdos of the past, but really, what’s even the point anymore. Almost a year to the day since Kyle Beckerman lost his dreads, the iconic Marouane Fellaini hair is no more.
All Eyes Are On Christian Pulisic At Wembley As England’s Transfer Rumor Mill Explodes
We haven’t seen Christian Pulisic in a USMNT jersey since the 3-0 victory over Bolivia back on May 28, when we were given a tantalizing look at the attacking combination play between himself, Tim Weah and Josh Sargent.
