After pleading guilty to drunk driving charges, Everton attacker Wayne Rooney has been handed a two-year driving ban and sentenced to 100 hours of community service.
Rooney made a statement on his website:
On the back of Sunday’s Ligue 1 fiasco which saw Paris Saint-Germain beat a French opponent by only two goals, Edinson Cavani moved quickly to dismiss the simmering rumors of an irrevocable fallout between himself and new boy Neymar.
USMNT and Borussia Dortmund attacker Christian Pulisic has been named to the shortlist for the 2017 Golden Boy, the award handed to the top under 21 talent playing in Europe. Previous winners of the award include Paul Pogba (2013), Sergio Aguero (2007) and Lionel Messi (2005). This is Pulisic’s first appearance on the shortlist after enjoying a season of more prominent and consistent performances for both club and country.
Gareth Bale lo ha vuelto a hacer. Quizás mejor conocido por su impresionante carrera contra el Barcelona en la final de la Copa del Rey 2014 (en la que Usain Bolt dijo: "Es un gol que a cualquier velocista del mundo le gustaría marcar algún día. Es el futbolista más rápido del mundo en este momento.”), Bale ha vuelto a marcar un gol más para el Real Madrid.
Mientras que su velocidad máxima en el esfuerzo final de la Copa del Rey fue de 34,6 kilómetros por hora, Bale alcanzó las 35.19 km/h mientras se aferraba a un pase de Isco el domingo contra la Real Sociedad.
Christian Pulisic, born on Sept. 18, 1998, turned 19 on Monday. In the first 18 years of his life, he has already been called the greatest American soccer player of all time. But how does he compare to Landon Donovan at the same age?
Cristiano Ronaldo's five-game ban for shoving a referee during the Spanish Super Cup has ended. This is good news for Madrid fans because, barring a promising win over Real Sociedad this weekend, they have not been the fire-breathing galactico dragon we all thought we were going to see.
Consecutive draws against Valencia and Levante put Madrid four points down from Barcelona, but now that the second-best player in the world is returning from suspension, Madrid will no longer have to rely on the heroics of Borja Mayoral to win games.
Let’s be honest, we’ve probably just witnessed the most calamitous weekend Paris Saint-Germain will suffer all season in France’s Ligue 1. No PSG player was able to get on the scoresheet in their match against Lyon on Sunday, but the Parisian club still managed to win 2-0 by forcing two own goals to maintain their perfect start to the season.
