Jack Grealish bagged his first goal for Manchester City on Saturday against Norwich City.
The goal itself won’t be one that fans will be talking about for years to come. Hell, we probably won’t be talking about it by next week. Grealish won’t care as a huge weight on his shoulders is now gone.
Some wild scenes took place during an adult league soccer game in Pauls Valley, Oklahoma, on Sunday when the referee pulled out a gun and shot towards a player and crowd of people. The Oklahoma referee’s name is Davi Bathez and he was arrested after the incident.
According to police, a dispute took place after Bathez issued a red card to one of the players. A small scuffle ensued over the red card which led to the referee grabbing a gun from his car and shooting a single shot towards the player and crowd.
The new Puma third kits that dropped this week have many fans talking. Not good talking I might add. If you haven’t seen the latest design from the geniuses working at Puma, then feast your eyes on these bad boys.

With the USWNT’s Olympic campaign in the rear-view mirror there’s one topic that was overlooked. Catarina Macario is one of the most exciting young prospects for the USWNT, yet she only saw the field for seven minutes during the Olympics. Thanks, Vlatko.
Macario is a versatile player who can play in the midfield or as forward. Born in São Luís, the 21-year-old had the choice to represent either the USWNT or Brazil. She received her U.S. citizenship on Oct. 8, 2020, and was cleared by FIFA to play for the USWNT in January.
Abusive behavior, racist jokes, homophobic slurs — Richie Burke, it seems, is no Ted Lasso, and he appears to be on his way out of the NWSL after a damning report and some confusing reactions from his Washington Spirit club.
While Lionel Messi's departure marks the end of an era for Barcelona, there is plenty more to be resolved at the Nou Camp before the season gets under way:
MONEY ISSUES
Barcelona has a gross debt of over one billion euros ($1.17 billion) and years of profligate spending meant they flew too close to the sun once too often.

In this edition of The18 Untold, we examine the USMNT’s performance at the 1904 Summer Olympics in St Louis. The tournament remains the United States’ crowning achievement as the only time it medalled, but the U.S. actually managed to take home both the silver and bronze.

The post was up for 26 minutes (26 minutes too long) and featured Italian player Cecilia Salvai mocking Asian people. Here is the racist Juventus tweet.
