MANCHESTER, England - Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola smiled on Friday at jokey petitions calling for striker Erling Haaland to be banned for being too good and said the Norwegian had a natural goalscoring instinct that was impossible to teach.
Cristiano Ronaldo is still having fun despite his limited minutes with Manchester United. A moment in training with defender Lisandro Martínez is going viral for Ronaldo’s reaction. Watch as Ronaldo nutmegs Martínez in training during a rondo session and then humorously celebrates his achievement.

Liverpool fans are not happy with Darwin Núñez. The club paid a hefty $82 million to Benfica for the Uruguayan in an attempt to strengthen its front line after Sadio Mané's exit, while also providing talk for pundits about how he would compete with Erling Haaland for the Golden Boot. However, the striker hasn't hit it off and is starting to be called a bust.
Núñez has played a mere 340 minutes across all competitions and scored two goals (one in the PL and one in the Community Shield) — far from the 34 he bagged with Benfica last campaign.
Why such a difference?
Álvaro Fidalgo se ha convertido por lejos en uno de los jugadores favoritos de la afición americanista. El español ha dejado el corazón en la cancha y el romance no deja de crecer. Tanto que un simpatizante azulcrema llegó a pedirle que tuviera un hijo con su novia.
La curiosa situación ocurrió en el último amistoso del América con el Nashville SC de la MLS. Fidalgo – quien comenzó el duelo en la banca – hacía el trabajo de precompetencia cuando un aficionado comenzó a gritarle desde las gradas:
Olympic gold medalist, World Cup winner and Angel City forward Sydney Leroux teamed up with DIRECTV for an entertaining social experiment video.
It’s no secret that Leroux has had to deal with her fair share of haters in her career. Leroux is also no stranger to defending herself online and letting the internet trolls feel the heat. Now she’s sharing that trait with the younger generation of players in a new video with DIRECTV.
The worst case scenario heading into September's international window, given the argument over Jordan Pefok's omission despite his incredible start to life in the Bundesliga, was that all three of Gregg Berhalter's selected strikers would fail against the modest defensive challenges posed by Japan and Saudi Arabia.
"Beyoncé" is trending on Twitter. Care to know why?
Over the weekend, a tweet claiming that no football player alive is more popular than Beyoncé riled up the whole of Twitter.
So many people think football players are crazy popular. It’s so weird. Like how can you say a football player is more popular than Beyonce? Then name two football players than even I wouldn’t recognize.
