Recognize These Clubs? Take This Test To See How Knowledgeable You Really Are In European Soccer

The Europa Conference League released the draw for its third round of qualifying on Monday. If you can recognize more than 31 of the following 98 clubs, then you outsmarted me and can claim my job.

When UEFA announced that a third club tournament, the Europa Conference League, would be held for the 2021-22 season, I was skeptical. Who the hell would play in this tournament? What obscure Moldovan city is Tottenham going to have to travel to? 

Sergio Ramos Llega Al PSG Con El 4 En La Espalda Y Hambre De Champions

Ya es oficial. El PSG ha presentado oficialmente a Sergio Ramos como el nuevo bastión de su defensa. El jugador español llega a París después de 16 temporadas junto al Real Madrid.

Dado que su contrato con los merengues finalizaba el 30 de junio, Ramos ha llegado al PSG en calidad de libre, firmando un acuerdo de dos años. Otra manera de decirlo: Ramos se mantendrá en el Parque de los Príncipes hasta junio de 2023.

FC Barcelona's New Home Kits Are Gross

FC Barcelona released new home kits for the 2021-2022 La Liga season and they're chaotically terrible. The new shirts appear as if the creators never agreed on a set design and continued the fight throughout the process.

With Barcelona being in severe debt, we should have assumed the new kits would be this bad. They feature verticle traditional blaugrana stripes and a new design inspired by the team crest. With tons of stripes and lots of colors, these kits fail to impress.

¿Debe N'Golo Kanté Ganar El Balón De Oro 2021?

Un discreto y humilde 29 de marzo de 1991 nació en París, Francia, un tal N’Golo Kanté. Hijo de inmigrantes africanos que tuvieron la oportunidad de radicarse en la ciudad de la luz y buscar un futuro mejor.

Como otros tantos colegas futbolistas, la infancia de Kanté fue tan hostil como prometedora. El muchacho fue recolector de basura en París para ayudar a su familia y a la temprana edad de 11 años perdió a su padre. Eso sí, a pesar de los obstáculos que se le presentaron en la vida, se mantenía en la lucha por cumplir su gran sueño: ser jugador de fútbol.

Pep Guardiola’s Tactics Ridiculed After N'Golo Kanté Bosses The Midfield Battle

PORTO, Portugal — It was billed as the night when Pep Guardiola would lead Manchester City to their first Champions League title but it ended with questions again being asked about the Spaniard's decision-making in the biggest games in Europe.

Esta Copa Es Tuya N'Golo: Chelsea Es El Campeón De La Champions League

Hay un dicho anónimo que dice que un 71 por ciento de la Tierra está cubierta por agua y que el 29 restante lo cubre N'Golo Kanté. El futbolista francés es una máquina, pese a su 168 cm. de estatura. Su humildad y su alegría, además, lo han convertido en un jugador de culto y que merece más que nadie el título de la Champions League que el Chelsea acaba de levantar. Los londinenses obtuvieron la segunda Orejona de su historia, luego de vencer por 1-0 al Manchester City.
