Ranking all 8 of Federico Valverde's comically good goals this season

It's early in the race for the 2023 Ballon d'Or, but with the season now over 30 percent complete, there's no denying that Real Madrid utility man Federico Valverde has put himself in the conversation with some unbelievable contributions in the Champions League and LaLiga.

It used to be that Valverde was the unsung hero of either the midfield (deputizing effectively for Luka Modrić or Toni Kroos) or right wing (with Karim Benzema and Vini Jr in the spotlight), but this year, whether deployed on the wing or in midfield, the 24-year-old has blossomed into the star of the show.

Puma Commits An International War Crime Against Switzerland

Already the ugliest World Cup on every conceivable grounds, it seems like Puma has elected to pay homage to that fact with a horrendous new collection of away kits for its stable of competitors in Qatar — Switzerland, Uruguay, Senegal, Serbia, Ghana and Morocco.   

I feel bad for Switzerland. Here they are, qualifying for major tournament after major tournament with a population the size of Virginia, doing things like eliminating France at Euro 2020, and Puma does something like this to them. It's completely uncalled for. 

Luis Suárez Returns To Boyhood Club After Rejecting MLS Offers

Former Liverpool and Barcelona forward Luis Suárez has re-joined Uruguayan team Nacional on a free transfer, returning to the Montevideo-based club after 16 years in Europe.

The 35-year-old, who left LaLiga side Atlético Madrid at the end of last season, said on social media on Tuesday he had reached a pre-contract agreement with Nacional, where he started his professional career in 2005.

River Plate, Dortmund, Nacional And Now MLS: Where Will Luis Suárez Go?

This summer's Luis Suárez transfer saga has been all over the place, and reports now place the Uruguayan in MLS.

After two seasons at Atlético Madrid, Suárez became a free agent July 1 and it was time to look for a new club. Many suggested that a move back to South America would be ideal for the striker after a 16-year career abroad. However, with Qatar around the corner, Suárez preferred to remain in Europe to prepare for his last World Cup.

“My priority is to stay in Europe,” he said.

Just How Hot Is Qatar? Hot But Not Sweltering Temps Will Be The Norm At World Cup

Scorching temperatures are one of the many reasons Qatar is the most controversial World Cup host of all time. During June and July, the months in which the World Cup is traditionally held, temperatures in the Arab nation peak around 120 degrees Fahrenheit, a temperature at which, unsurprisingly, it is simply unsafe to play a 90+ minute soccer match.

¿De Los Diablos De Manchester A Los Diablos Del Toluca? Lo Que Sabemos De Cavani A La Liga MX

El mercado de fichajes es terreno próspero para todo tipo de rumores y uno que empieza a agarrar vuelo en la Liga MX tiene que ver con la posible llegada de Edinson Cavani al Toluca. 

Los choriceros llevan varias campañas entregando resultados que huelen peor que un huevo duro podrido. Tantas que la familia Diez, dueña del club, estaría dispuesta a sacudir el mercado del Apertura 2023 con la llegada del uruguayo.

USMNT Vs. Uruguay: 3 Players Who Stood Out And 3 With Nights To Forget

The USMNT vs. Uruguay friendly never got going in the way we imagined on Sunday night at Children's Mercy Park in Kansas City. At the end of the day, the main talking point is that Uruguay manager Diego Alonso made seven substitutions — Diego Rossi and Facundo Pellistri somehow entered the match together in the 68th minute when that obviously shouldn't have been allowed.

Berhalter Ready To Start McKennie Vs. Uruguay After Watching La Celeste Destroy Mexico

The USMNT is flying after Wednesday's 3-0 friendly victory over fellow World Cup participants Morocco in Cincinnati, but a potential wakeup call awaits against Uruguay at Children's Mercy Park in Kansas City on Sunday evening.

The Jersey Report: Barcelona Released Its New Kit, And It's Way Better Than Last Season's Nightmare

Another week, another batch of cool jerseys dropped in the soccer world for the 2022-23 season. 

Barcelona is in the headlines after unveiling a very decent, Olympic-vibe kit for next season, one that luckily is letting us forget the monstrosity they donned in the last campaign. 

Mexico vs. Uruguay: El Tri’s Road To Qatar Hits Humbling Speed Bump In 3-0 Defeat

Mexico suffered its worst loss in nearly three years on Thursday when Edinson Cavani and Uruguay battered El Tri in a friendly game 3-0 at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona. Cavani was involved in all three of Uruguay’s goals against a rough looking Mexico side.
