Meet Euro 2020’s Greatest Underdog And Your New Favorite Team: North Macedonia

North Macedonia will be one of the biggest underdogs in Euro history and is exponentially more of a dark horse than Iceland was in 2016.

Women’s International Champions Cup Returns With 3 Of The World’s Best — And Houston?

The Covid-19 pandemic had many sporting casualties in 2020. While nothing compares to the immense (and ongoing) loss of life, U.S. soccer fans were denied the opportunity to pay NFL-level prices to watch preseason friendlies between indifferent European clubs in the International Champions Cup.

15 Years After Tragic Murder, Kiyan Prince Honored With FIFA Debut

LONDON — Had a cruel twist of fate not intervened, Kiyan Prince might have graced the Premier League, earned England caps and shared pitches with the biggest names in soccer.

Sadly we will never know as in 2006, when aged 15, he received a single fatal stab wound to the chest outside his school after going to the assistance of a boy being bullied.

A Brief History Of Americans In The Latter Stages Of The Champions League

Has an American player won the Champions League? Yes. (Come May 29, 2021.)

It hadn’t happened before (although Ali Krieger, Gina Lewandowski and Alex Morgan have won the UWCL), but with Christian Pulisic’s Chelsea playing Zack Steffen’s Manchester City in the 2020-21 Champions League Final, the answer to that question is now a foregone conclusion.

There will obviously be some hotshots among us who’ll question the contributions of the USMNT stars. Steffen is Ederson’s understudy and only started City’s final group match against Marseille, keeping a clean sheet.

Hug Your Local Chelsea Fans, They Need One After The Past Week

If you or a loved one have been supporting Chelsea Football Club, you may be entitled to one free hug. Trust me, it might be needed by the end of the month.

On Tuesday, The Blues will have a rematch with Leicester City after suffering defeat in the FA Cup final to the Foxes over the weekend. The outcome of Tuesday’s game will have major ramifications for which teams will play in the Champions League next season.

Arnaut Danjuma Goal Gives Bournemouth Key First-Leg Victory Over Brentford In Playoffs

The Build-Up

For just the third time this season, fans were allowed inside Vitality Stadium for the first leg of Bournemouth's Championship Playoff Semifinal against Brentford.

Well-partitioned, socially-distanced pods of mask-wearing Cherries fans dotted the stands like freshly planted plots of seeds in a garden, and while they only numbered about 2,000, the Bournemouth supporters came ready to make some noise.

Poland Confirms 26-Man Euro Squad, Led By Ballon d’Or Favorite Robert Lewandowski

Poland coach Paulo Sousa on Monday named his squad for next month's European Championship that begins on June 11 with winger Kamil Grosicki the biggest name to miss out on the 26-man squad.
