NFL legend and Birmingham City minority owner Tom Brady continues to immerse himself into the world’s other football. Brady made an appearance on “Men in Blazers” and offered a solution to all the United States men’s national team’s problems.

Brady's revolutionary idea: just get a new Lamine Yamal or Lionel Messi to play for the national team.

Former Liverpool manager Jürgen Klopp has criticized the introduction of the expanded Club World Cup format, calling it the worst idea ever implemented in football.

In an interview with German newspaper Die Welt published late on Friday Klopp said the tournament would put more strain on an already packed calendar for the players.

In 1985 the great philosophers of The Power Station once uttered the iconic tune and phrase “Some Like It Hot.” It’s become increasingly evident that they were not talking about Europeans.

The 2025 Club World Cup has a clear theme following the group stage. The Europeans love to complain about the American heat.

Bundesliga sides Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund pulled an unprecedented strategy of leaving their substitutes in the locker rooms for the first half so their players didn’t have to be outside.

The 2025 Club World Cup has divided soccer fans worldwide on whether they enjoy the inaugural 32-team edition of the tournament. One innovation hardly anyone is arguing about is the implementation of the referee camera.

DAZN’s coverage of the Club World Cup includes the interesting feature of a camera from the center referee’s perspective. Now fans can get a glimpse at what the officials see when having to make tough decisions.

The ref cams have also supplied never before seen angles of goals.

The 2025 Concacaf Gold Cup will serve as a major opportunity for several United States men’s national team players to prove themselves to head coach Mauricio Pochettino.

Big stars will miss the tournament including Weston McKennie, Timothy Weah and Gio Reyna due to the Club World Cup. Christian Pulisic, Antonee Robinson and Yunus Musah will also skip the tournament due to rest.

This presents the chance for several fringe players to make a name for themselves and show why they should be considered for the 2026 World Cup roster.

Former United States men’s national team head coach Bruce Arena criticized U.S. Soccer’s decision to hire Argentine head coach Mauricio Pochettino arguing that an American is the best fit for the job.

Speaking on Unfiltered Soccer with Landon Donovan and Tim Howard, Arena said that foreign coaches fail to understand the culture of American soccer and players.

Bayern Munich defender Josip Stanisic caught some flak during his side’s 2-2 draw vs. Inter Milan on Wednesday when he shoved over one of the opposing ball boys. A Stanisic apology was issued for the incident.

Late in the contest with Inter leading 4-3 on aggregate, the ball went out for a throw in with Stanisic the nearest to it. In a sneaky attempt to waste some of Bayern’s precious seconds, the Inter ball boy rolled the game ball away from Stanisic.

The 25-year-old retaliated to the stunt by pushing the youngster off his seat and onto his back.
