Neymar and Brazil's men have been so bad in the Olympics that Neymar has reportedly been stripped of the Brazil captainship. Fortunately, Marta and Brazil's women are here to save the day, so much so that fans have started turning Neymar jerseys into Marta jerseys.
New York City FC striker David Villa went on Sesame Street and it was awesome because I mean really how could it not be awesome.
Villa did some headers and he and Cookie Monster and Rosita ate some cookies and it was all adorable and fun.
Cookie Monster saying "we have faith in your soccer ability" is basically the best compliment of all time.
Besides that segment, we wonder how Villa interacted with the rest of the Sesame Street crew. He probably thought Big Bird was Zlatan.
When you play a friendly against a team with the word "Viking" in its name, it's only natural that they will give you a sword. Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger found this out when the Gunners played Norwegian club Viking FK, and the Norwegians thoughtfully presented the Frenchman with a sword.
The boss has just received a pretty unusual gift...#VIKvAFC https://t.co/N2JdVjZsrM
Jurgen Klopp is one of the greatest personalities in the world of soccer, and a lucky group of American youngsters had the chance to sit face to face with the Liverpool manager and get some of their burning questions answered.
The first and arguably most important question of the event was: “Who is your favorite footballer of all time?”
This is a public service announcement: do not attempt to hug Lionel Messi. It will go poorly for you.
Especially don't attempt to hug Lionel Messi by jumping a barrier and landing at the entrance to the stadium tunnel.
KEEP WALKING

We love those crazy Leicester City lads. When they're not sticking it to the established order of the Premier League hierarchy, they're usually getting into a bunch of crazy shenanigans. Hence, we bring to you their new Baywatch-themed kit spot.
Once again, it is the spotlight-smitten Christian Fuchs who is taking the lead in Leicester's new video, essentially doing his best to be David Hasselhoff as he sets out to rescue the "helpless" Riyad Mahrez and Demarai Grey (apparently he did give some "Fuchs" on that day, #SomeFuchsGiven).
Liverpool left back Alberto Moreno and attacker Roberto Firmino both showed up for the new season having changed their haircuts to be in line with a curious trend: the top knot.
The top knot, for the uninitiated, is a knot of hair on the top of one's head that makes the wearer look like they have a paint brush sticking out of their head.
Barcelona used some rather unorthodox training methods ahead of their game against Celtic in Dublin Saturday.
The team walked out onto the pitch at St. George's Park expecting maybe some shooting drills or perhaps a little El Rondo action, only to greeted by the sight of a dozen human bubble suits.
That's right folks. The secret to Barcelona's success is intensive rounds of bubble football.
He’s been called the Chuck Norris of football. He’s referred to as a lord and “The Powerhouse”. Likened to “a blunt instrument with which to bludgeon defenses”, Emile Heskey changed the way we viewed the forward position during his playing days.
Heskey burst onto the scene with Leicester City back in 1994, and he reached his pinnacle with Liverpool during the 2000-01 season after scoring 14 Premier League goals in 36 matches.
You remember Simone Zaza's penalty against Germany, right? The funny one, the one that he was subbed on specifically to take and then flubbed in comical fashion? Well, that penalty has reared its ugly head once again, but this time it was a German taking it: Dirk Nowitzki.
Look at the penalty this dude took.
