Revisiting The18’s awful Premier League 2022-23 predictions — wow how wrong we were

In July 2022 the great minds working at The18 put their heads together and tried to predict how the 2022-23 Premier League season would unfold. Looking back at our EPL predictions 10 months later we got a couple things right and several things very, very wrong.

Our predictions came out in two separate parts. The first prediction article had each of our individual picks for topics like the Golden Boot race, best American, teams relegated and more.

Spurs catch a hilarious stray from Mourinho during Europa League final press conference

Forward Paulo Dybala could miss AS Roma's Europa League final against six-time champions Sevilla, manager José Mourinho said on Thursday.

3 burning Ted Lasso questions ahead of the series finale

After Tuesday night's global release of Ted Lasso S3E11 ("Mom City"), we've officially entered stoppage time in the series' arc with only one episode remaining until it's all (supposedly) over for good.

Next week's series finale brings with it a demand for closure on a number of long-running plot lines, and there's still plenty of time for more developments with these final episodes burgeoning in their runtime (episode 11 clocked in at one hour and nine minutes). 

Riqui Puig does Messi celly vs. LAFC B Team, gets called a ‘clown’ by Chiellini

All El Tráficos count the same, right? Well, maybe that wasn't the case Tuesday night with LAFC and the LA Galaxy meeting in the U.S. Open Cup at only the Round of 16 stage and with LAFC entirely focused on next week's Concacaf Champions League final against León.

This meeting was basically the El Clásico equivalent of Barcelona playing Real Madrid in a preseason friendly at Hard Rock Stadium.

But don't tell Riqui Puig that.

Checking in on Gareth Bale — he’s hit his first hole-in-one on a golf course

On Thursday Bale posted a video to Instagram of him getting his first-ever hole-in-one on a golf course. Bale was playing at the Torrey Pines Golf Course in California and was filmed nailing the shot and wheeling away in celebration.

I can’t stop laughing at these commentators’ reactions to game-winning Indonesia goal

If you’re like me then you had no idea that the Southeast Asian Games were taking place right now. However, a late game-winner from 10-man Indonesia against Vietnam has been brought to my attention after the hilarious reaction from the commentators.

Saturday’s game was the semifinal match and Indonesia were going up against the two-time defending champions Vietnam.

Union Berlin player scores, pulls Spider-Man mask from pants and then fails to put it on correctly

Union Berlin grabbed three massive points on Saturday in their 4-2 victory vs. Freiburg as the Bundesliga underdogs look to secure a spot in the UEFA Champions League for the first time in their history. Two goals from Sheraldo “Spider-Man” Becker helped get the job done.

In the 36th minute with Union Berlin leading 1-0, Becker doubled the lead by sneaking his shot through the goalkeeper’s legs. For his celebration he whipped out a Spider-Man mask from his pants and then struggled to put it on his head.

Cruzeiro player misses penalty, fights teammate to retake it and then misses again

It's not weird to see two teammates discussing who'll take a penalty despite coaches having a pecking order. However, it's not common to witness scenes like the one starring Cruzeiro players Bruno Rodrigues and Henrique Dourado that ended up with the taker missing from the spot not once, but twice on Wednesday night.
