4th-tier Grimsby Town dump Southampton out of FA Cup with a bit of the dark arts

If you're a Liverpool or Chelsea supporter disappointed with the season, just remember it could always be a lot, lot worse — you could be a Southampton fan.

The Saints are at the bottom of the Premier League table with only 18 points from 24 matches. They had Nathan Jones as manager for three months. They somehow managed to reach the Carabao Cup semifinals before losing to Newcastle, but the lasting memory there is Jacob Murphy waving off Duje Ćaleta-Car after the defender's red card.

Gol en neerlandés es Santi Giménez: Bebote lleva al Feyenoord a semifinales de la Copa KNVB

Cada vez que Santiago Giménez marca un gol para el Feyenoord, un doble sentimiento corre por las venas. Por un lado, todo es alegría. Bebote se ha convertido en un favorito de los aficionados mexicanos y su éxito es medicina para la alicaída alma de la nación futbolera. Pero al mismo tiempo, un chorro de rabia inunda la sangre: ¿Por qué Gerardo Martino no lo llevó al Mundial? ¡¿POR QUÉ?! ¡AAAAARGH!

Este miércoles ante el Heerenveen, por la Copa KNVB, la sensación volvió a repetirse.

After viral indoor goal, Dutch phenom knocks Barça out of UEFA Youth League with another stunner

I've seen enough. I'm declaring 17-year-old AZ Alkmaar phenom Kees Smit the winner of the 2023 Golden Boy Award, and there's nothing some preciously talented La Masia graduate at Barcelona can do about it. 

Over a month ago, the Netherlands youth international came to my attention with an incredibly inventive goal during an indoor match. It's as beautiful as a Rembrandt.   

Paul Pogba returns from injury as Juventus dominates Derby Della Mole

Massimiliano Allegri’s side hosted Torino on Tuesday night, putting together a vintage display in this season’s second Derby Della Mole.

Mourinho red carded as Roma hand Cremonese their FIRST win of the Serie A season

It took all of 24 matches but Cremonese finally won a Serie A game on Tuesday, and the most remarkable thing is that they recorded it over Roma after also shocking José Mourinho's team in the Coppa Italia quarterfinals at the beginning of the month.

No club in Europe's big five leagues had remained winless this long, but Cremonese — based in the Lombardy region of northern Italy — actually moved into 19th-place with all three points (12 overall) while dropping hapless Sampdoria (11 points) to dead last.

Con Johan Vásquez trayendo a Dybala de hijo, Cremonese logró su primer triunfo de la temporada

Al Cremonese le costó, pero finalmente lo consiguió. Con Johan Vásquez como titular, I Grigiorossi vencieron 2-1 a la AS Roma de Jose Mourinho y lograron su primera victoria de la temporada 2022-23 de la Serie A.

Cierto, no suena a gran cosa, pero considerando que se jugaba la jornada 24 del torneo, uno entiende y hasta empatiza con la emoción que se vivió en los festejos del equipo una vez que el juez central pitó el final del partido.
