Unless you are a diehard fan of Spanish football, you may not have even heard of Unión Esportiva Cornellá (or UE Cornellá as they are more commonly known). This small team from Catalonia was founded in 1951 and plies its trade in Group 3 of the Segunda División B, which represents the third tier of Spanish football.
No amount of wishing can make this video real.
We know this because the amount of wishing we're using to wish this video was real would kill a lesser soccer website. Kill it stone dead.
It's good to have friends.
Lionel Messi is injured, much to the dismay of the greater soccer-following population.
Messi's teammates, though, are not fazed, and have rallied around their star right-winger in his hour of need.
Case in point: someone needed to drive Messi to the training facility (he's probably on pain meds or something). The good samaritan who ended up chauffering the hobbled Messi to and from practice: Luis Suarez.
Well Barcelona fans, the unthinkable has happened. OK, that’s a little over dramatic, but Lionel Messi is injured.
For Pete's sake, Neymar, do your taxes.
The Brazilian striker has had assets totalling $47.75 million frozen by a Brazilian court due to tax evasion charges.
Neymar makes about $14 million in salary and $17 million in endorsements. That is enough money for someone to live on even if he pays his taxes.
Lionel Messi is one of the richest athletes in the world in 2015. He may not be the richest soccer player – that honor goes to Cristiano Ronaldo of Real Madrid – but he's certainly close. And, as of 2014, Lionel Messi had the highest salary (overall earnings) of any footballer.
So exactly how much is Messi worth, and how much does he get paid?
Zied has not lived the most comfortable of lives thus far. His home country, Syria, has been beset by violence and war and terror and turmoil for pretty much all of Zied's young life.
Zied's family joined the legions of refugees trying to escape Syria and flee to Europe, hoping for a better life — one where the likelyhood of having your head cut off on any given day is considerably lessened.
Then this happened.
Cristiano Ronaldo is headed to the silver screen, according to Spanish newspaper Marca.
The newspaper reported that Ronaldo has been given a part in an upcoming Martin Scorsese film called "The Manipulator."
Real Madrid certainly have a high opinion of Ronaldo. Which begs the question, how much is Cristiano Ronaldo worth to them?
Before we get into that, it's also worth asking why wouldn't Real Madrid assign a high value to Ronaldo? He's either the best or second-best footballer and one of the most marketabe athletes in the world. His jerseys fly off the shelves. He's the player people come to see when the come to see Real Madrid.
Paris Saint-Germain know this about Cristiano Ronaldo, and have in the past declared their intentions to buy him from Real Madrid.
Just in case you forgot how good James Rodriguez is, here's a little reminder.
The baby-faced Colombian attacking mid scored two golazos against Real Betis this weekend.
The first was an absurdly-angled free kick that bent just around the outstretched fingertips of Betis's keeper.
The second was an overhead kick that must be seen to believe.
Keep up the good work, James.
