Seven match weeks into the Bundesliga season, Union Berlin is top of the table — two points clear of Borussia Dortmund and five of Bayern Munich — with a 26-year-old American leading the charge.
On Sunday, he scored again — his third (to go with two assists) in six appearances — in Union's 2-0 victory over Wolfsburg. This one was a perfectly timed near post run to get in front of his marker and glance a header inside the opposite post.
This, my friends, is good forward play.
Budweiser is one of the biggest sponsors of the FIFA World Cup. As the official beer of the tournament, there will be billions of eyes on the Budweiser World Cup ad. The American beer company debuted its World Cup commercial this week, and if there’s something that feels off about it to you, you’re not wrong.
Watch the following Budweiser World Cup ad and see if you can spot what us, an American soccer media company, finds off about it.
Millions of Chileans are gearing up for an Independence Day weekend full of celebrations. Choripanes, grilled meat and empanadas will be part of the menu, as well as bottles and bottles of red wine — mostly cabernet sauvignons, merlots and carménères — which will come in handy to swallow the devasting news coming from FIFA headquarters in Zurich, Switzerland. No, Chile is not going to the World Cup.
The USMNT World Cup kits are here and everyone's feeling a bit crushed. We're probably going to be the youngest team at the tournament, but to put us in bibs is harsh.
Semana a semana, Santi Giménez demuestra que es el mejor delantero mexicano del momento y que incluso merece ser el 9 titular del Tri en el Mundial de Catar 2022.
A algunos les sonará a exageración, pero la verdad es que lo de Bebote en el Feyenoord es simplemente sensacional. Sin ser estelar en el equipo de Arne Slot, Giménez aprovecha los minutos que tiene para hacerse presente en el marcador.
Y este jueves, en la Europa League, no fue la excepción.
Nike finally unveiled the USMNT World Cup jersey home and away kits on Thursday for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar this November. As we feared for the last few weeks, the USMNT World Cup kits are atrocious. No one on social media has anything nice to say about these shirts.
