It should come as no surprise that a city characterized by passionate support, the Portland Timbers have sold out every home match since joining MLS, and fabled urban planning dating back as far as 1903 should boast some of the finest tifo displays in the world.

In the United States, it’s an old adage that “all ballers want to be rappers, and all rappers want to be ballers”. The intersection of music and sports seems to draw professionals to each other’s line of work. In Germany, it appears that all footballers want to be DJs, and all DJs want to be footballers.

Like something out of a cheesy coming of age flick, a 19-year-old Wales fan has been reduced to wearing a onesie for the remainder of his Euro 2016 experience after forgetting his luggage on a train.

Owen Midha, from Swansea, is the unfortunate soul you see pictured above, and here’s how he described his unfortunate situation: 

"I managed to lose my bags on the train here and my good friend Luke lent me this.”

Zlatan Ibrahimovic is flashy; he's eccentric, talented, and brash, but is he also a dual sports star? Potentially that is the case.

Have you have ever set eyes on Major League Baseball's Jeff Samardzija? At first glance when you see both men you can't help but notice a striking resemblance. Go ahead and judge for yourself. 

Bayern Munich can claim their fourth consecutive Bundesliga title by defeating Borussia Monchengladbach on Saturday, and they’ve handed over the keys to their Snapchat account to German electronic music producer Paul Kalkbrenner to document the action.

In case you missed it, Liverpool versus Borussia Dortmund was pretty intense. Liverpool went 2-0 down, then 3-1 down and somehow came back to win 4-3 (5-4 on aggregate). Liverpool were doomed to exit on the away goal rule before a dramatic Dejan Lovren header sent Liverpool through to the Europa League semi-finals and sent the home fans into hysterics. Somewhere amidst the chaotic revelry was Liverpool fan Liamie Marum, who had no idea that he was about to have a Mamadou Sakho selfie surreptitously planted on his phone. 

Going on the road to try and capture three points, or even to salvage a draw, is never an easy assignment in soccer. The difficulty in playing aggressively against the home side is encapsulated in the away goals rule, a method of rewarding the away team for any attacking achievement in the match.

Whether it’s the benefit of home support, the psychological boost of familiar surroundings or the disadvantages away teams suffer from traveling to different time zones or climates, your home ground provides you with a significant advantage over the visitors.
