Animals

Hey all you cool cats and kittens, Tiger King has been the talk of quarantine — it's so cringeworthy that you can’t stop watching. It's a Netflix documentary that was supposed to expose the exotic animal trade and cruel treatment, but it had way more than just cat talk. From relationships to feuds and crime to exotic animals, Tiger King has it all. 

If, for some odd reason, the cast had to be put into a football match, here's who I would name to my starting XI:

It appears as though scoring two goals to knock Liverpool out of the Champions League was not enough for Marcos Llorente. The Atlético Madrid striker had to add insult to injury.

Llorente recently posted a picture to his Instagram stories of one of his pugs, which it looks as though he has renamed Anfield after the site of his destruction of Liverpudlian hopes of a repeat European championship. 

What are two things that you can’t live without? If you said footballers and your pet then we are on the same page.

There is no better content than cute animals and some of your favorite ballers. The footballers with animals Twitter account (@ftbllrswanimals) is by far my favorite account to scroll through because I know it will always put a smile on my face. So I dare you to go through these posts without smiling or saying “awwww” because I bet you can't. 

In these troubling times of self-isolation and social distancing, many soccer stars are showcasing either their toilet-paper juggling skills or some home workouts, showing their readiness to return to the pitch.

Chelsea Women defender Maria Thorisdottir was the latest to take her shot at a work out video.

But her golden retriever, Theo, had other plans.

While most leagues around the world have suspended operations to curb the spread of coronavirus, many in Central and South American have continued to play. This could put lives at risk if players or fans become infected at these large gatherings. One soccer dog is having none of it.

What a start to the 2020 Clausura season for Atlético San Luis. After battling to a 0-0 draw with perennial power Tigres at Estadio Universitario on opening day, Atlético San Luis defeated Cruz Azul 2-1 last Friday to place itself at the top of the table alongside Chivas and Pumas. 

What’s more, Atlético San Luis used the victory to scout a potential new signing. In the 27th minute, Tunita made her appearance in front of an announced crowd of 21,670. They were all enthralled with what they saw.

With the new Pokémon Sword and Shield games recent release, GAME brought in Chelsea Women stars Bethany England and Fran Kirby to go head to head in the game.

The English forwards were told they would be distracted while playing but the two did not think much of the light threat.

“Joe have said they’re going to try and distract us but I can’t see that happening,” England said. “We’re professional athletes.”

South American football is beloved worldwide for the passion and pageantry of its fans, the rhythm and technique of its players, the narratives and legends of its past and, of course, the good boys that frequently make their way onto the pitch and into our hearts.

Who can forget the time that dog made an incredible goal-line stop in the Argentine third tier?
