Real Sociedad And Real Betis Players Should Train Viral Goal Celebrations — Their Match Will Be On TikToK

Gen Z, Gen Z, blah, blah, blah, Gen Z. Marketing and audience industries are obsessed with Gen Z. Everybody is trying to capture its attention, and soccer is not a stranger in the game. Gen Zers were one of the excuses used by the greedy men behind the infamous Super League, and I'm pretty sure they are also the reason behind the latest LaLiga idea: streaming the next Real Sociedad vs. Real Betis match through TikTok.

While MLS Is Struggling, Women’s Soccer TV Ratings Are Soaring

CBS broadcast the Challenge Cup match between expansion clubs San Diego Wave FC and Angel City FC on Saturday, putting the NWSL front and center. The fans followed, with nearly half a million viewers tuning in for the first Challenge Cup match on TV in 2022.

Did Brazilian Legend Rivellino Score The Fastest Goal Ever? It's A Wild Story

When it comes to the most underrated players in the English-speaking world, you could certainly make a case for Brazil's Rivellino — a fantasy footballer with pioneering dribbling skills, an outrageous free kick arsenal and a left foot like a field howitzer. Rivellino was hugely admired by Pelé and inspired both Diego Maradona and Ronaldinho, but these names have largely superseded Rivellino's own in football lore.

When Rapinoe Joined The NCAA Women’s Hoops Final Broadcast, There Were Cocks Jokes

Earlier this year, I watched part of the NCAA football title game on an alternate ESPN2 broadcast featuring coaches from Texas A&M talking about the game. It was garbage television, and I’m an Aggie. When I saw the NCAA women’s basketball title game Sunday night had an alternate broadcast on ESPN2, I was initially skeptical, but I’m so glad I watched.
