While most clubs across continental Europe have returned from their winter sojourns to warmer climes, Paris Saint-Germain has been in Doha this week for its Qatar Tour 2019.
Given the club’s Qatari ownership, it’s no surprise the club would visit the small but wealthy country, providing plenty of weird interview opportunities where Neymar can tell everyone that 18-year-old American Tim Weah will be the next great striker.
On Monday, EA Sports posted a video featuring the best goals scored in FIFA 19 so far. As you’d expect, it’s a compilation of players like Neymar and Antoine Griezmann flicking the ball up, turning and swiveling, mutating their bodies into ungodly forms and weltering bicycle kicks from over 30 yards out. Very cool.
Australia, the defending champion of the AFC Asian Cup, almost came undone at the group stage of the 2019 edition due to one of the most ludicrous penalty decisions you’ll ever see at a major international tournament (as you’ll soon see, VAR is obviously not in use out in the United Arab Emirates).
After suffering a shock defeat to Jordan to open group play, a 3-0 victory over Palestine on Match Day 2 had eased the pressure on the Socceroos, but a result still needed to be secured Tuesday against Syria.
The Florida Cup is a relatively obscure exhibition held each winter since 2015 in Orlando, Florida. The teams involved aren’t always the best, but they’re recognizable, with the likes of Bayer Leverkusen, Rangers, River Plate, Corinthians and PSV Eindhoven having been involved in recent years.
This year’s Florida Cup features Ajax, Sao Paulo, Eintracht Frankfurt and Flamengo — plus a concert Saturday night from Brazilian star Ivete Sangalo at Orlando City Stadium.
Soccer is no stranger to fuzzy, furry or feathered pitch invaders. From cats and good dogs to sensual grasshoppers and even dead rats (ew).
Jasmine Lennard, one in a long list of Cristiano Ronaldo girlfriends, does not like the Juventus No. 7 and wants the world to know.
Lennard, somewhat of a reality TV star and model in the UK, used Twitter on Tuesday to denounce Ronaldo and support Kathryn Mayorga, who has accused the Portuguese striker of raping her in Las Vegas in 2010 and has recently sought to have their out-of-court settlement voided.
La Copa São Paulo de Futebol Júnior, una competición de copa entre equipos sub-20 brasileños, fue el escenario de más violencia entre equipos médicos y futbolistas el pasado domingo, una plaga creciente en el fútbol mundial.
How much is too much for a meal?
It’s a question making the rounds recently after Kiyoshi Kimura dropped $3 million on a giant Bluefin tuna — about $4,900 per pound.
“It’s a good tuna, but I think I paid too much,” said the buyer who paid a record price of more than $3 million for a bluefin tuna in Tokyo https://t.co/rXVm46iT30
