When it comes to the most underrated players in the English-speaking world, you could certainly make a case for Brazil's Rivellino — a fantasy footballer with pioneering dribbling skills, an outrageous free kick arsenal and a left foot like a field howitzer. Rivellino was hugely admired by Pelé and inspired both Diego Maradona and Ronaldinho, but these names have largely superseded Rivellino's own in football lore.
After getting bounced by Real Madrid in the Champions League, collectively booed by its own supporters at the Parc des Princes and hammered by Monaco at Stade Louis II, no club appreciated the international break more than PSG.
Més que un club? More than empowerment. That was the message held aloft by 91,553 fans at the famous Camp Nou stadium as the women's soccer attendance record was set on Wednesday in Barcelona. The record crowd saw an unbelievable match with golazos raining in from both sides.
Con el aporte goleador de los franceses André-Pierre Gignac y Florian Thauvin, Tigres se quedó con la versión número 127 del clásico regiomontano.
Monterrey había renacido en las semanas anteriores con la llegada al banco de Víctor Manuel Vucetich. Rayados, de hecho, llevaba tres victorias consecutivas desde el arribo del Rey Midas. Ante su archinemigo, sin embargo, no pudo hacer mucho. Tigres es una máquina aceitadita y para muchos es el candidato número uno al título en el Clausura 2022.
Con 37 años, Cristiano Ronaldo sigue escribiendo historia. El fenomenal futbolista portugués hoy anotó un hat trick en la victoria 3-2 del Manchester United sobre Tottenham y de paso se convirtió en el máximo goleador en la historia del fútbol.
Dicho de otro modo, CR7 acaba de romper el récord de los récords.
Quizás la temporada 2021-22 no sea la mejor de carrera, quizás no esté en su mejor momento físico, pero la leyenda de Cristiano sigue tatuándose en los anales del fútbol.
Age is a myth for Cristiano Ronaldo. The Portuguese superstar netted the 805th goal of his career on Saturday vs Tottenham. At 37 years old he’s still scoring goals that simply make your draw drop. This Ronaldo goal vs Tottenham in the 12th minute was no exception.
LOS ANGELES - Charlotte FC will play their first ever home game on Saturday and opponents LA Galaxy know they will have to weather a storm of excitement pouring out from the team's supporters.
Charlotte, who joined MLS as its 28th team this season, are expected to draw an MLS record 75,000 supporters to Bank of America Stadium for their highly-anticipated home debut.

Jesse Marsch is rumored to fill the position of Marcelo Bielsa as manager of Leeds United after the club suffered a 4-0 defeat to Tottenham on Saturday.

The past week had been emotional for not just the soccer world but everyone as news continues to flood in about Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. The soccer community has produced an amazing response with symbols of peace and protest in many games.
Amid all the chaos BT Sport analyst Peter Crouch has given soccer fans something to smile about with a hilarious video of him and Rio Ferdinand preparing for a live shot after the Tottenham vs. Leeds game. Watch what happens when all six feet seven inches of Crouch tries to stand up in the rather small commentary box.
Mirar la tabla de posiciones es algo que los aficionados del América se niegan a hacer por estos días. Tras la última derrota ante el Pachuca, los azulcrema quedaron en el puesto 16 con apenas cuatro unidades, superando solo a Atlético de San Luis (3) y Santos Laguna (2). El equipo tiene problemas en todas sus líneas, pero la crisis parece concentrarse en la zon defensiva. De hecho, con 13 goles en contra, Las Águilas comparten con Santos Laguna el honor de ser los equipos más goleados del Clausura 2022.
