FC Rapid Bucuresti in Romania’s SuperLiga might have the weirdest reveal video for a new signing we’ve ever seen. Former U.S. President Bill Clinton appearing in a signing announcement for a Romanian team is the last thing we expected.
The club landed 31-year-old Cameroon forward Clinton N’Jie from Turkish side Sivasspor on Wednesday. According to the reveal video he is “the real Clinton.”

A coach in Italy’s sixth tier is surprisingly keeping his job after he ran onto the field to halt an opposing team’s counterattack.
Alessio Guidotti is the head coach of Subbiano and went viral over the weekend when he decided it was up to him to aid his defense.
Guidotti, seen wearing an orange bib, ran onto the field and put in crunching tackle on a Pontassieve player.

An amazing Wayne Rooney free kick vs Celtic during a legends game on Saturday was truly special. The 38-year-old showed he's still as lethal as ever with a dead ball and wowed the fans at Old Trafford.

Wild video from the world of college soccer showed a vicious Rutgers UMass soccer fight as the two women’s teams came to blows on Sunday.
Both teams were playing just their third game of the season and tensions rose in the second half that saw two players exchange hands.
In the 55th minute Rutgers senior Gia Girman dove in for a hard challenge to halt a UMass move. UMass senior forward Ashley Lamond then tried to grab the ball to quickly restart play.
A tangle between Girman and Lamond escalated to a scuffle and then to a brawl.
Tomas Soucek played the hero for West Ham twice on Saturday as he scored the game’s opening goal vs. Crystal Palace and then stepped in to save a ball boy.
While celebrating his goal with the away end at Selhurst Park, the excited West Ham fans tumbled over onto the field as an advertisement board collapsed. One of the Crystal Palace ball boys was then trapped under the board and weight of the fans.
Soucek was quick to respond to get the young man to safety.

Chelsea defeated Swiss club Servette FC 2-0 in the Europa Conference League playoffs on Thursday, however a Marc Guiu miss is the big talking point.
The Chelsea youngster was given his first start for the Blues and ended up having a lowlight that will give him nightmares years from now.
In the 51st minute the 18-year-old had the entire goal gaping in front of him after robbing possession from Servette’s goalkeeper. All that was needed was a pass into the goal.
Instead Guiu made a mess of things.

Punching an opposing player in the face gets you sent off with a red card 99 times out of 100. Tuesday’s Copa Sudamericana match between Brazil clubs Corinthians and Red Bull Bragantino was the one exception.
In the 68th minute Bragantino’s Guilherme got away with a disgraceful act. The 22-year-old had been subbed into the game three minutes prior and moments later socked Corinthians midfielder Charles in the face.
After the two leapt into the air to challenge for the ball, Guilherme got away with a sucker punch.

Cristiano Ronaldo looks to have a second career lined up after he retires from soccer. The Portuguese star launched a YouTube channel on Wednesday and has already gained over 4 million subscribers in a few hours.
The YouTube launch was clearly planned out as CR7 posted 18 videos on his account Wednesday. The videos range from game shows with his wife Georgina Rodríguez, rating his goals, free kick challenges and more.
Whoever is directing his videos clearly knows a thing or two about YouTube as the videos have high quality footage and editing.
Another moment showing why soccer is more than a game.
Swedish club Kalmar AIK were involved in one of the most beautiful sporting moments of the year, showing support to their cancer-battling captain in perhaps the most emotional way possible.
Kalmar AIK captain, Markus Heman, was diagnosed with a severe form of cancer prior to the start of the 2024-25 season, leaving him out of the squad as they prepare the new campaign — an obvious blow for the club and roster.
Inter Miami and Toronto FC were the main protagonists of perhaps the most entertaining match we’ve had thus far in the 2024 Leagues Cup, with the MLS teams scoring a combined seven goals in 90 minutes.
The Herons, who played with 10 men for almost 70 minutes, were able to secure the win at home to advance to the next round.
