Here in the good ol’ US of A, we’re in that terrible time of year where most sports are in the middle of their offseason. For action-starved Premier League fans, there's no NBA, no NFL and no NHL to turn to. Worst of all, there's no World Cup. On the soccer side of things, I would highly recommend giving the Women’s Euros, MLS and NWSL a chance if you haven’t already. But for fans looking to freshen things up, why not give Formula One a go?

Sydney Leroux’s Instagram page is a marvel. Posts typically come in three types: showing off her adorable kids, trying to sell you something and, my personal favorite, her being a badass.

We’ll file this latest post under that final category. 

A leaked photo has gone viral reportedly laying out the various Aston Villa fines players could face if they step out of line. The fines range from normal to bizarre, including some that come at a rate of $240 for each minute a player is late.

I don't have TikTok. I don't particularly like TikTok. But every now and then, a TikTok pops up on my Instagram or Facebook feed that piques my interest. Usually, it's something along the lines of "Three things that only (blank) will understand."

American fans are discovering that USMNT left back Antonee "Jedi" Robinson has several talents beyond the field. His skill at left back is already known, a video of him playing piano surfaced in 2021 and now there’s a viral video of him blowing his Fulham teammates’ minds with a card trick.

A month after signing a new contract, Jamie Allen is quitting on his soccer team to pursue his dream of appearing on the raunchy reality TV show “Love Island.” I’d say you can’t make this stuff up, but the “Ted Lasso” creators literally wrote it into Season 2.

Folks, we have a real-life Jamie Tartt.

Jamie Allen has decided to join the cast of ❤️ Island 2022, making his intentions clear that the opportunity is very important to him.

The matter will be reviewed on his return.

A Rosella Ayane penalty kick will live long in the history of Morocco women’s soccer as it was the shot that sent the team to its first ever major tournament final. On Monday Morocco defeated 11-time Africa Women’s Cup of Nations (WAFCON) champs Nigeria on penalties in the semifinal.

Morocco is hosting the tournament for the first time in its history and is going on a historic run. The underdogs already secured 2023 World Cup qualification, which will be the team's first ever World Cup, by making it to the semifinals. Now Morocco has its eyes on winning the whole thing.

Celebrating the release of the next-gen adidas X Speedportal cleats, the German brand has opted for something different — but entirely fitting — by showcasing the fastest boot "in all dimensions" with a little help from the portal hopping title characters of Rick and Morty. 

If you've seen a single episode of the TV show, you'll know where this is headed. As far as boot advertisements go, it's up there with the best of them.
