PSV, based in the southern city of Eindhoven, has long been one of the most successful clubs in the Netherlands.
Along with Ajax and Feyenoord, PSV is part of the traditional "big three" of the Dutch Eredivisie. The club celebrates its 107th birthday today, August 31, 2020.
If you ever plan on removing your shirt for a goal, then make sure you're not already on a yellow card folks. Here's a prime example of why.
With the score tied at 2-2 in the 69th minute, Atlanta United 2 (a real original name) had a free kick in a dangerous area against Miami FC (not Inter Miami). Miami then made the bold move of allowing Atlanta’s Jackson Conway to run completely unmarked across the face of goal.
Sports announcers often use cliches like "you can't write a script like that" or "that was a Hollywood ending" when describing a particularly unpredictable and exciting game.
On Wednesday, the EFL Championship took the script, ripped it up, taped it back together, wrote 20 more pages, ripped it up again, then burned it for good measure.
Dreams came true on Monday for 38-year-old footballer Adebayo Akinfenwa and League One side Wycombe Wanderers as the club was promoted to the Championship for the first time in its 133-year history.
Real Madrid showed no rust as Los Blancos dusted off their pristine white kits to sweep aside Eibar 3-1 in both clubs’ return from a three-month hiatus on Sunday at Alfredo di Stéfano Stadium. If anything, the necessary COVID-19 interruption helped reinvigorate the Merengues, who looked sharp from the opening kick.
Football fans will go to the most ridiculous lengths to support their teams. The supporters are a crucial aspect to “the beautiful game,” which is why playing in front of no fans is so odd. Polish side Slask Wroclaw thought it was playing without anyone watching, until one lone fan rose above the wall of the stadium. This super fan is No. 5 on this list of the most dedicated football fans.

That racist ass-hat West Brom fan is punching the air right now as the Premier League will feature a powerful statement of solidarity on each club’s kits for the league's return on Wednesday, June 17. In a meeting between clubs on Thursday, it was decided all kits will feature the statement “Black Lives Matter” in place of players’ names along with BLM badges on the shirt.
In soccer annals, the year 1999 might be best known for Manchester United's stoppage time equalizer and winner against Bayern Munich in the Champions League final.
But three weeks earlier, another last-minute winning goal, scored by a goalkeeper, yes a goalkeeper, meant far more to Carlisle United supporters than a Champions League trophy.
Gladbach took care of business against Union Berlin on Sunday with a comfortable 4-1 victory. The biggest talking point of the match came in the 41st minute, when Alassane Pléa found Marcus Thuram for a well-placed header and the Frenchman quietly celebrated in a powerful way.

I’m quite sure I’m not alone in saying I had no problem waking up early Saturday morning. For the first time in two months, there was a reason to crawl out of bed before 10 a.m. as the Bundesliga became the first major European football league to return from its coronavirus hiatus. And what better way to return than the intense Revierderby?
