English Clubs

The Women’s International Champions Cup kicks off Thursday — and it’s kind of a big deal. 

While the men’s International Champions Cup is just a glorified list of preseason exhibitions, the women’s version actually means something. Aside from the UEFA Women’s Champions League, it’s rare for women’s clubs to face off against clubs from other countries, let alone continents. There is no Club World Cup for women, so the Women’s International Champions Cup fills the gaps left by FIFA’s lack of commitment to the women’s game.

Kick It Out, an organization that advocates for players who experience racial abuse within the footballing world, has issued a call to action to social media companies in response to the Twitter abuse that Chelsea striker Tammy Abraham has received over the past 24 hours.

The UEFA Super Cup is a match of limited importance, much like the Community Shield. But Americans had one question on their minds ahead of this year’s edition between Chelsea and Liverpool: Is Christian Pulisic starting?

Is Christian Pulisic Starting UEFA Super Cup?

You betcha. 

Chelsea had a brutal kick-off to the new EPL season. Despite a positive start to the match against rival Manchester United, the Blues ended up suffering an emphatic 4-0 loss to the Red Devils, leaving many fans scratching their heads as to why manager Frank Lampard opted to leave $70 million signing Christian Pulisic out of the starting XI.

Today's Chelsea team to play Man Utd!

We all know that Manchester City loves to spend big, and it has been under the watch of just about every governing body in football as of late. FIFA and UEFA are the big ones, and they have been after City for a while now after exorbitant amounts of spending and the suspicious transfers of youth players since Pep Guardiola arrived in 2016.
