On Wednesday night, a Flamengo fan was arrested by Brazilian police moments before his team faced Vélez Sarsfield in the Copa Libertadores semifinals. His crime? Kissing an ESPN reporter on her cheek without consent.
And while for some this might sound excessive, the truth is that it's not.
Saying goodbye to a pet is one of the harder things to do on this planet. As many pet owners have experienced, it never gets any easier. That was the case for Israeli midfielder Ilay Tamam, who dedicated his goal on Monday to his dog that recently died.
Tamam plays in Israel’s second division, Liga Leumit, and scored his team’s second goal on Monday several minutes before halftime.
To celebrate his goal, he took off his jersey to reveal a shirt with a photo of his pup printed on. Tamam couldn’t hold back the tears.
We all saw it: Chicharito Hernández's last effort from the penalty spot was genuinely embarrassing. He had the chance to secure three points for the LA Galaxy in a very tight race for the playoffs Sunday, but instead, he decided to perform a poor, sad Panenka against SKC seconds before the final whistle.
When a professional footballer is asked to describe their worst nightmare, the response of "having my own fans chant 'asshole' at me" would probably be considered a totally irrational fear. But that's exactly what happened to New York Red Bulls midfielder Dru Yearwood on Saturday night at Red Bull Arena while getting sent off in his team's 2-0 defeat to Philadelphia.
American legend Jozy Altidore seems to be rekindling his romance with the goal. The New England Revolution striker is currently on loan with Club Puebla in Liga MX, and there he just scored his second goal of the season during a 1-1 draw vs. Querétaro on Thursday night.
Sure, Altidore is not a goal machine a la Haaland, but his record with La Franja is very impressive, considering he has only played 75 minutes spread over five games, always coming from the bench.
On Monday, Ellen White announced her retirement from football. The decision was somewhat surprising from the 33-year-old Manchester City striker who had just won the European championship with England. At least, it was surprising until she detailed to BBC a harrowing experience with a punctured lung suffered during acupuncture treatment last year.
Real Betis se alista para enfrentar al Mallorca de Javier Aguirre este sábado 20 de agosto, por la Jornada 2 de LaLiga 2022-23, y todo parece indicar que Andrés Guardado otra vez no estará disponible para los verdiblancos.
No porque esté lesionado, no porque esté sancionado, sino que porque aún el Betis ha sido incapaz de registrar su nombre en las oficinas de la competencia.
Mexico received a devastating blow ahead of the 2022 World Cup: Jesús "Tecatito" Corona will NOT play in the tournament after suffering a severe injury during Sevilla's training session Thursday.
It's not clear how Tecatito got injured, but things looked ugly when the 29-year-old had to leave the Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán on a stretcher and then go to a local hospital in an ambulance.
The USWNT U-20s were bounced out of 2022 U-20 Women’s World Cup in the group stage on Wednesday after suffering a 3-1 defeat to reigning champions Japan in Alajuela, Costa Rica. The U.S. finished the group stage with one victory and two losses, the team’s worst showing in the 10 editions of the tournament.
The Americans finished third in Group D ahead of Ghana but behind Japan and the Netherlands. The U.S. opened the tournament with a 3-0 victory vs. Ghana but then followed that game with a 3-0 defeat to the Dutch.
Crystal Palace defender Joachim Andersen is dealing with one of the ugliest sides of the beautiful game: social media.
The Danish defender said he has received hundreds of death threats after Palace’s 1-1 draw with Liverpool on Monday. The Andersen death threats came after Liverpool’s star signing Darwin Nuñez was red carded for headbutting him.
