Earlier this week internationally famous singing person Adele threw her support for the Premiership title behind Tottenham Hotspur.

This Guy Literally Dances On The Field When He Pulls Off Skills
I’m torn. If I played against South African footballer Thabo Rakhale I would be very angry. I would say things like, “nothing he does has any impact on the game.” I would act like a square white dude, but I would try and lock him down, steal the ball, and make sure his bulls*** never works. I can’t help the way that I am.
But watching him…I want to chant “swag” every time he touches the ball and yell at all the defenders trying to guard him, “THAT’S A BAAAAD MAN.”

The 9 Craziest Soccer Questions People Ask Google
Ah, Google. Where any question can be asked and answered in half the time it takes to microwave pizza. If you can think it, dream it, or conceive it, you can Google it. And, thanks to Google’s auto-populating technology, you can see exactly what the people of the world desperately want to know. Which is great and equally ridiculous at the same time. Soccer is no exception. Here are nine mostly ridiculous soccer questions people ask on Google (the answers may surprise you).
World Cup Golden Ball Winner Carli Lloyd Still Can't Get Any Respect
Carli Lloyd can't get no respect. In Starbucks of all places.
We're sure the barista meant no disrespect to the focal point of the USWNT's World Cup-winning attack, but "Nardley" is not a name.

This Team Shot 4 Times In 10 Seconds, Missed Them All, But Still Scored Somehow
Most of the time when you see a team bearing down on goal like Legia Warsaw is about to do in this next video, you expect to be thrilled. The speed of play involved pushes players to their absolute limits. Success is a matter of passing with pinpoint accuracy, maintaining composure, and knowing when to finish.
