We’ve known it’s been coming for quite some time — the Fire called the announcement “The World’s Best Worst-Kept Secret” — but it’s now officially official: The Chicago Fire will return to Soldier Field beginning with the 2020 season.
Liverpool won its 17th straight Premier League match with a 2-1 victory over Leicester City on Saturday at Anfield. The Reds are eight points clear of Manchester City, which plays Sunday.
The Anfield faithful went wild as James Milner scored the match winner in the 95th minute, ensuring a perfect eight-from-eight start to the season. Jurgen Klopp’s postgame celebrations showed just how difficult the match was for the home side.
There’s a lot to like about this Galatasaray club. First off, in a match against the global superpower that is Paris Saint-Germain, Fatih Terim’s side featured a quintet of guys fast approaching their mid-30s, including Radamel Falcao, Yuto Nagatomo, Mariano, Fernando Muslera and Ryan Babel.
It’s no wonder that Terim was profusely sweating his way through proceedings on the touchline.
It is sad that Chris Wondolowski's name will always remind people of his miss against Belgium in the 2014 World Cup. Because the all-time MLS leading goal scorer is not only a San Jose 'Quakes legend, but he is a fan favorite for moments just like what happened this week.
After picking up his first-ever red card in his 15-year professional career, he had to miss San Jose's match against the Philadelphia Union. He doesn't watch the game from the fancy box seats. Instead, he joins the San Jose Ultras. If that doesn't show dedication to your team, I don't know what does.
It’s FIFA Friday. And the fans are already pissed about FIFA 20 Career Mode.
Every year FIFA Friday — the date on which the latest edition of EA Sports’ mega-franchise is released — is welcomed by joy among the FUT fanatics. Usually, it’s also accompanied by hardcore Career Mode enthusiasts moaning about the lack of updates to their favored mode.
Yesterday, fans of Moroccan side Raja Club Athletic showed the world that soccer is more than watching two teams duke it out on the field. Supporters came in droves to the home of fellow fan Mohammed Fahd Aldrafip, who has been unable to attend matches due to the severity of his cancer. The fans proceeded to sing through all the team's chants with Aldrafip conducting the whole event from a balcony above. Here’s a video of the event:
Major League Soccer has decided it would rather not side with fascists after all, a positive step for the league in a country where fascism isn’t always condemned.
In a statement released Wednesday, MLS said it has reversed course on fan usage of the Iron Front symbol, allowing the anti-fascist imagery to be displayed at matches, at least through the end of the 2019 season.
D.C. United extended its win streak to three matches while the Sounders failed yet again to create space between themselves and the rest of the Western Conference playoff hopefuls on Sunday. But it was the moments after the game that have gotten the media's attention.
The Mexican Football Federation (FMF) finally seems to be taking its fans’ homophobic chanting seriously. Finally.
The FMF held a press conference on Friday detailing concrete steps it will take to eradicate the goalkeeper chant that FIFA has branded as discriminatory and unacceptable in football.
Athletico Paranaense won its first ever Copa do Brazil on Wednesday, beating Internacional 3-1 on aggregate to add another trophy to its recent successful run that includes the 2018 Copa Sudamericana. A Brazilian soccer fan supporting the club, however, lost a hand in the process.
