Welcome to The18’s La Liga guide, the highest level on the Spanish football pyramid and arguably the best league in European and world football. Despite what you may have heard, it’s not just Real Madrid and Barcelona; there are 18 other clubs that compete with the two giants for the Spanish title. This guide will tell you everything you need to know about La Liga’s history, top players, and current season. Vamos!
Nothing like a good old-fashioned bout of hooliganism to ready oneself for a big Champions League match, at least, that's what, on first glance, it looked like Sevilla and Manchester City fans were doing Wednesday in a Manchester brawl prior to the Manchester City-Sevilla game.
But first glance would be wrong in this case. It turns out neither fan base is the culprit here (we think).
It's not believed the brawl had anything to do with the Manchester City-Sevilla Champions League match, other than the fact Sevilla fans were there.
It’s hard to not believe Wesley Hall when he talks. In his recent interview with the BBC concerning the Manchester Angels — a homeless activist group he leads — being granted permission to squat in a building by Gary Neville, he cuts a contrasting figure to the other homeless men that preceed him. They, as well-meaning and nice as they seem, cannot match Hall’s obvious wit and conviction.
The weekend TV schedule in store for soccer fans this weekend is full of intrigue in the Premier League and Serie A.
Evidently there are Getafe fans who are lonely.
Getafe, which has a staduim capacity of 17,700 and only fills about half that, good for dead liast in La Liga, attendance-wise, introduced something to help its lonely fans who sit in a half-empty stadium to watch a middling La Liga side: a dating app.
If you choose to spend your weekends and your money in a half-empty stadium watching a middling La Liga side, you might be lonely, so this just might be a good idea from Getafe.
Celtic bills itself as a “Club Like No Other,” and that is especially true when you consider the unique bond players have developed with supporters since it was founded in 1888 by Irish immigrants to Glasgow. Here is a list of the most popular players ever to wear the green and white hoops, the Celtic fan favorites.

Soccer fans are a passionate bunch, but, as with every group, there are those who rise above the rest. These fans take their passions to completely unheard-of levels.
Take this man, for instance. We do not know where he found the time and developed the skills to make that costume, but it is incredible. That costume probably cost more money (if labor is included) than a ticket to the game he wore it to.
Donald Trump is in the media a lot, and a lot of those times he's in the media because of something he said about Mexico/Mexican people/immigration that lots of people found offensive.
Because of this, Mexican TV station TV Azteca made a commercial with Donald Trump to pump up fans for the CONCACAF Cup final last Saturday.
This next clip goes beyond a simple rivalry between two countries; it is bigger than Mexico vs the United States. Think hard on something that you have wanted in life, and then ask yourself getting it could ever compare to the emotional high this man hits.
