As the world’s game, soccer is an unending cycle that serves to provide its fans daily entertainment. Between club play, international play and whatever FIFA is dreaming up next (intergalactic play?), the football is officially going on forever. But the easiest answer to how many games do soccer players play in a season is 38.
It looked like the writing was on the wall for Ole Gunnar Solskjær on Tuesday in Bergamo. As we entered second half stoppage time, Atalanta held a 2-1 lead. Manchester United’s attack had been disjointed, so much so that Paul Pogba was hooked in the 69th minute and Donny van de Beek was allowed to escape from his cave.
It's not uncommon for England-born footballers to represent other countries. The Republic of Ireland, Scotland, and Jamaica are just a few of the national sides with a decent proportion of English natives in their squads.
But a player from the outskirts of London suiting up for Poland? Now that's a new one. Yet that's exactly what happened to Matty Cash, who earned his first Poland call-up this week. Is Matty Cash Polish?
Christian Pulisic is back. The American featured in about 20 minutes of Chelsea’s 1-0 Champions League victory against Malmö on Tuesday.
Pulisic was included in a Chelsea lineup for the first time since the Premier League opener against Crystal Palace on Aug. 14. While he might have spent the majority of the night on the bench, it’s the most action for him since his ankle injury against Honduras in September.
LONDON — Tottenham Hotspur have named Antonio Conte as manager until the summer of 2023, the Premier League club said on Tuesday, a day after sacking Portuguese coach Nuno Espirito Santo.

El delantero mexicano Raúl Jiménez anotó este lunes en la victoria por 2-1 del Wolverhampton sobre el Everton. La conquista de RJ9 no fue una de carácter anecdótico, sino que trajo bajo el brazo un par de hitos para el jugador.
Para comenzar, la diana fue la primera de Jiménez en el Molineaux después de su fractura de cráneo hace casi un año. Si bien Jiménez ya había anotado en esta temporada, el futbolista realmente anhelaba volver a hacerlo frente a su gente. De paso, el tanto correspondió al número 50 del Lobo defendiendo los colores del equipo inglés.
ROME — Zlatan Ibrahimovic scored his 150th Serie A goal as AC Milan inflicted Jose Mourinho's first home defeat in the Italian top flight with a 2-1 win over AS Roma at the Stadio Olimpico on Sunday to keep pace with Serie A leaders Napoli.
The 40-year-old striker rifled a low free kick into the bottom corner in the 25th minute to put the visitors ahead after a lively start, his 400th total goal in domestic leagues.

Two seasons ago Getafe was playing in the Europa League Round of 16. In 2021 the Spanish club picked up its first victory of the 2021-22 season after twelve LaLiga games. The results haven’t come for the club, but this Getafe bicycle kick during a 2-1 victory vs. Espanyol is sure to make fans smile.
Getafe striker Enes Ünal had himself a day to remember on Halloween. The festivities started in the 31st minute with a brilliant overhead kick to give Getafe the lead. This goal was scary good.
Crystal Palace forward Wilfried Zaha has been subjected to racist abuse online and the 28-year-old shared screenshots of some of the comments after Saturday's 2-0 Premier League win over Manchester City.
Zaha, who scored the opening goal of the game at the Etihad Stadium, was brought down by Aymeric Laporte which resulted in the City defender receiving a straight red card in first-half stoppage time.
American defender Joe Scally recorded his first Bundesliga goal and assist in the month of October. Scally picked up an assist on Halloween with a spooky good cross to give Borussia Monchengladbach the lead against VfL Bochum.
