Good God, When Is The Next FIFA Election So We Can Get This Guy Out?

Gianni Infantino, the ninth President of FIFA, has found himself increasingly in the news of late, which we’ve come to learn is never, ever a good sign when it comes to FIFA presidents.

It Feels So Good To See Denmark Complete Dream Qualification Run After Summer Horror

Few teams in the history of sport have been through what Denmark experienced this summer. Christian Eriksen, the nation’s talismanic midfielder, suffered cardiac arrest on the pitch in front of millions of viewers at Euros 2020. Forced to finish the match against Finland later that day, the Danes were unable to shake off the horror of nearly watching their friend and teammate die on the pitch, losing in an upset.

Norway Moves One Step Closer To World Cup With Another Huge Qualifying Win

Norway’s dream of securing World Cup qualification for the first time since 1998 took a massive step forward Monday after the Løvene recorded a 2-0 victory over Montenegro despite the absence of injured Ballon d’Or finalist Erling Haaland.

With the win, Norway gave itself a chance of actually overtaking the Netherlands and earning automatic qualification with two games to play, but a second-place finish and a spot in the playoffs can almost be guaranteed next time out against Latvia on Nov. 13.   

Messi Applies Mysterious Magicks To Ball For Unusual Goal vs. Uruguay

Few left feet in the history of the game have been as magical as Lionel Messi’s. But the Messi goal vs Uruguay on Sunday night was something uniquely supernatural. It was as if the Argentine put some sort of forcefield around the ball as he sent it toward goal.

Messi’s strike in the 38th minute sent Argentina on its way to a 3-0 win over Uruguay in World Cup qualifying, maintaining a comfortable second place in the CONMEBOL table behind Brazil. La Celeste barely remain in the top four guaranteed World Cup positions with seven matches left to play. 

Berhalter Trusted His Depth Vs. Panama — Too Bad That “Depth” Was As Deep As A Kiddie Pool

The “Berhalter Out” group of USMNT fans had a field day Sunday night watching the U.S. fall to Panama 1-0 at the Estadio Rommel Fernández. The performance from Gregg Berhalter’s team was one of the most uninspiring from an American side since four years ago to the day when the Americans lost to Trinidad and Tobago 2-1. 

The USMNT failed to register a single shot on target as Panama got its first ever victory against the U.S. during World Cup qualifying. The five total shots from the U.S. was lowest number in the team's last 28 World Cup qualifiers.
