Jamaica’s First-Ever Women’s World Cup Goal Delivers All The Feels
Jamaica arrived at the 2019 FIFA Women’s World Cup as heroes.
The New Opening Title Sequence For The Champions League Is Here
It’s hard to believe, but the UEFA Champions League returns in one week! So it’s only the preliminary round, featuring the likes of Lincoln Red Imps and Tre Penne, but a new season means a new opening title sequence for television.
As always, it features the glorious Champions League anthem, a lot of the logo and last year’s winner (Liverpool) lifting the trophy. Things begin with Douglas Costa’s brutal elastico nutmeg on Ajax’s Joël Veltman and they really heat up with Porto’s Moussa Marega pulling a Zidane Turn on Fabinho and Jordan Henderson.
Thailand Lost 5-1, But That One Goal Meant Everything
The draw for the 2019 Women’s World Cup really couldn’t have been unkinder for Thailand. Not only did the world’s 34th-ranked side land the defending world champion, they also got the last team to defeat the USWNT at a major international tournament, Sweden.
Things, of course, got off to a historically bad start when surrendering 13 unanswered goals to the U.S. to begin group play, and things weren’t looking pretty again today when trailing Sweden 4-0 in the 81st minute.
Classy Japan Fans Clean Up Stadium After Dusting Scotland
What amount of responsibility do spectators have to clean up after themselves? It’s something anyone who attends a sporting event, movie or concert must ask themselves: Do I dispose of my trash after the show is over or leave it for others to pick up?
I’d rather not guess what percentage of people leave their trash at their seats — I’d wager it’s quite high, based on what I’ve personally witnessed in the U.S. What I can say is that fans of Japan’s men’s and women’s national teams are certainly not ones to leave trash to others.
Thailand Goalkeeper Sends Note Of Thanks To Carli Lloyd For Kindness After 13-0 Defeat
Sukanya Chor Charoenying had the worst day at the office ever for a World Cup netminder. The Thailand goalkeeper saw 13 goals fly past her as the U.S. women’s national team ran rampant in their Group F Women’s World Cup opener on Tuesday.
The Best Moment Of USWNT Beating Thailand Actually Came Off The Pitch
The U.S. women national team’s 13-0 thrashing of Thailand was nothing short of incredible. Behind Alex Morgan’s record five goals, the USWNT set the record for most goals scored in a single World Cup game.
Despite all the goals that poured in — and there were a lot — the best moments of the match for the U.S. didn’t come on the pitch, but in the stands.

Santi Cazorla’s Uplifting Message Is The Motivation All Old People Need
After a minor injury that spiraled into 10 operations, an infection that ate away at his tendon and threatened foot amputation, a skin graft that resulted in part of his left arm tattoo moving to his right foot and ultimately, a spell of 636 days without football, Santi Cazorla made a remarkable comeback with Villarreal last season, appearing in 46 matches, scoring seven goals and providing 11 assists.
Jordan Henderson’s Dad, A Throat Cancer Survivor, Shares Tear-Jerking Moment With Son After UCL Final
Unless you have the eyes of a Liverpool supporter, the 2019 UEFA Champions League Final wasn’t the prettiest spectacle. But that suited Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson just fine.
