The race for the upcoming Ballon d’Or is going to be close.

Korbin Albert was given an unexpected start for Tuesday’s United States women’s national team Olympic send-off game vs. Costa Rica. Rose Lavelle was a late scratch due to muscle tightness and head coach Emma Hayes put Albert in the starting XI.

Do you remember those old Dos Equis commercials with “the most interesting man in the world” guy? Ukraine and Chelsea star Mykhailo Mudryk is like the soccer version of that as you never know what he’s going to do next.

The Daniel Sturridge Alexi Lalas clip from FOX’s coverage of England vs. Denmark is absolute gold.
Sturridge is part of FOX’s coverage of Euro 2024, and you actually see the regret in his eyes on TV as he’s forced to sit next to Lalas. If there’s one thing most American fans can agree on it’s that listening to Lalas for too long can drive a person insane.
You couldn’t write a script like this. The Christian Eriksen goal vs Slovenia during Denmark’s opening Euro game on Sunday was the stuff out of movies.
Three years ago, Eriksen was fighting for his life after collapsing on the field during Denmark’s opening game of Euro 2020. The soccer world was in shock as Eriksen was given cardiopulmonary resuscitation by the incredible and quick medical staff who saved his life.
The European Championship never fails to bring out the best of soccer fandom. We’ve seen Albanians destroying spaghetti to torment Italians and now we have a viral Netherlands fans dancing in street video ahead of their opener vs. Poland.
When we say “dancing in street” we don’t mean a large group of people doing their own moves. We’re talking about thousands of fans in sync turning the streets of Hamburg into an orange mass moving in unison.
