The Most Stunning Adidas Kit Ever Isn’t For Sale

As a longtime Arsenal fan, I may be a bit biased when I say this, but the most striking adidas jersey I’ve ever seen was unveiled on Friday by the North London club. You won’t be able to buy this amazing Arsenal white kit, but there’s a great reason behind it.

As part of its “No More Red” initiative to stop knife crime and youth violence in London, Arsenal revealed a stunning all-white adidas jersey. The campaign features famed actor Idris Elba, a noted Gooner, plus club legend Ian Wright.

Sam Kerr Inspires Chelsea To FA Cup Glory With Spectacular 15-Yard Chip

After numerous COVID-19 delays, the 2020-21 Women’s FA Cup Final was contested Sunday (the 2021-22 competition is now in the Second Round) in front of a massive crowd of 41,000 at Wembley. Chelsea stormed to a 3-0 victory over Arsenal, completing a domestic treble after also capturing last season’s Women’s Super League and League Cup titles.

It’s Arsenal (first) and Chelsea (second) that look set to battle for this campaign's WSL crown after eight matches, but the early story of the season has been the form of Blues’ attacking duo Sam Kerr and Fran Kirby.

FA Cup First Round Highlights: Upsets, Golazos, And Tidbits From Football's Best Competition

After three months and six rounds of qualifying, the first round of the FA Cup Proper began over the weekend. For many (including myself) the FA Cup represents the purest form of footballing competition.

More than 70 teams play for the chance to earn the title of English champions, and while the title invariably goes to a Premier League side, the early rounds of the cup provide an unfiltered look at the roots of the sport.

It's a chance to watch non-league teams you've never heard of before playing the biggest match in club history in front of a thousand fans.

If you or a loved one have been supporting Chelsea Football Club, you may be entitled to one free hug. Trust me, it might be needed by the end of the month.

Todas Las Finales Merecen Un Gol Como El Que Tielemans Hizo Para Darle La FA Cup Al Leicester

En 137 años de existencia, el Leicester City nunca había ganado la FA Cup. Había jugado cuatro finales, pero siempre había estado del lado perdedor. La mala racha, sin embargo, se acabó este sábado cuando los Foxes derrotaron a Chelsea, con un fenomenal golazo de Youri Tielemans, uno que quedará dentro de los mejores y más memorables en la historia de la competencia.

Zack Steffen Caught Out Of Position As Chelsea Ends Man City’s Quadruple Quest

Before Saturday’s FA Cup semifinal, Manchester City coach Pep Guardiola said he’d “lose the team” if he didn’t start American keeper Zack Steffen vs Chelsea. In the end, the decision may have lost the game.

Steffen made a positioning error to allow Chelsea to score the only goal in 1-0 defeat on Saturday at Wembley, costing the Citizens a chance at a rare quadruple. Steffen, who was otherwise faultless and moments later made a one-on-one save to atone, will no doubt rue his moment of indecision that allowed Hakim Ziyech a tap-in. 

Christian Pulisic Named Man Of The Match As Chelsea Advances To FA Cup Semis

Chelsea advanced to the semifinals of the FA Cup with a narrow 2-0 win over Sheffield United at Stamford Bridge on Sunday. An Oliver Norwood own goal opened the scoring for the Blues, but the Blades came close to equalizing on a number of occasions before Hakim Ziyech’s insurance strike in second half stoppage time put Thomas Tuchel’s side through.

Following a corner kick, it was Ben Chilwell’s hopeful hit back into the area that forced Norwood to turn it beyond Aaron Ramsdale.  

Sex Abuse Review Finds ‘Significant Institutional Failings’ In English FA

England's Football Association acted much too slowly to protect children against sexual abuse in the sport because of its own "significant institutional failings," a review into historic child abuse concluded.

The independent review, commissioned by English football's governing body in 2016, found there were at least 240 suspects and 692 survivors of sexual abuse as of August last year.

The review was launched after a victim broke taboo by speaking in public about how he was abused as a young footballer by his coach, encouraging many others to break their silence.
