Leading up to the Super Bowl, Manchester United striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic had a conversation with retired NFL player Osi Umenyiora, who asked the Swede what position he would play if he were in the NFL.
Here's Zlatan's answer: “The guy who makes the difference. I’d be the one who catches the ball. Maybe I wouldn’t be so fast but I would be like a bull and run through all of them.”
Gabriel Jesus had quite the full EPL debut for Manchester City Wednesday against West Ham, scoring and assisting in a 4-0 win.

It’s almost the weekend, which means it’s acceptable to start MESSIng around. You came to hear some jokes, so we promise to keep everything in the box, we won’t cross any lines. Feel free to share these jokes with your kids because we know they will get a kick out of them! Each joke is a keeper. Enjoy!
We got a very interesting Facebook comment on a recent article.
What would happen? What would we do? We thought about it and made a list. Here's what we would do if we didn't like playing soccer:
Vandalism
Write a screenplay
Go back to school
Investigate who really killed JFK
Play MarioKart
Get caught up on bills and stuff
Visit every National Park
Find the Holy Grail
Here's a tip: if you're at a match and you want a player to give you their jersey, bring something to bribe them with, like pork.
Hey, it worked on Sergio Ramos.

Your reasons for coaching youth soccer – for sacrificing your weekends, dealing with the headaches of communication, putting up with wall-to-wall nonsense – are selfless. You love the game. You enjoy working with kids and know that soccer is one of the most powerful ways to teach life's lessons. Generally, the rewards far outweigh any of the accompanying pains.
But, good grief, the struggle is real. You'd really like to skip the hassles of managing a team or running a club, but time and again you run into the same problems afflicting your companions around the globe.
After a stretch of games in which they've made defensive errors into an art form, Liverpool have gone the metaphorical route in finding a solution during the January transfer window, and purchased themselves a bus.

Deadline day is crazy! Lots of teams have needs, and this is the last day to fill them. Teams need wingers, defensive midfielders, inverted fullbacks, false 9's, trequartistas, deep-lying playmakers, target strikers and many more types of soccer players.
One team, though, just needs something to get leaves off their field. Barton Rovers FC have filled a major squad need on deadline day by going to the store and buying a rake.
