Spain’s U-21 Side Is Destroying The Rest Of Europe Right Now

Spain will approach the 2018 World Cup as a nation largely in transition. Nobody’s ready to write off the likes of Sergio Ramos, Gerard Pique, Andres Iniesta, David Silva and Cesc Fabregas, but this could well be the last World Cup for all of them.

Billy Millwood, de 7 años, podría tener al Real Madrid y al Barcelona llamando a su puerta

Si la historia se repite, debemos esperar que el Real Madrid o el Barcelona derrochen dinero en jóvenes prodigios prometedores. A principios de año, el Real Madrid gastó 45 millones de euros en Vinicius Júnior de 16 años, que no tiene ninguna experiencia en equipos de primera división.

Brazil’s 2011 U-20 Team Had An Extremely Unfair Advantage

Golden generation. What does it mean? On the one hand, it can mean that you’ve got the likes of David Beckham, Frank Lampard, Paul Scholes, Steven Gerrard, John Terry and Rio Ferdinand all getting in each other's way while Steve McClaren holds an umbrella.

La Copa Mundial de Fútbol Juvenil (ahora conocida como la Copa Mundial de Fútbol Sub-20) mostró algunos talentos sensacionales en Nigeria. España, el campeón del torneo, tenían a Iker Casillas y a Xavi en el equipo. Mali logró alcanzar el tercer lugar gracias a la fuerza de Seydou Keita, mediocampista que llegó a convertirse en el mejor futbolista de Mali de todos los tiempos y el receptor del Balón de Oro del torneo, además de futuro ganador de la Liga de Campeones de UEFA dos veces, y también a la futura estrella del Real Madrid, Mahamadou Diarra.

This 8-Year-Old Girl Was Barred From A Soccer Tournament Because Organizers Thought She Was A Boy

Trigger warnings are all the rage these days so in the spirit of that I just want to warn y'all you are about to read the stupidest story in the world.

Mili is an eight-year-old girl who plays on a U-11 team because she is very good for an eight-year-old. The combination of Mili being very good and Mili having short hair led the organizers of a soccer tournament her team was playing in to wrongly conclude Mili is a boy and disqualify the team.
