Back in 2019, Cruzeiro — a two-time winner of the Libertadores and four-time Brasileirão champion — suffered relegation to Série B for the first time in the club's 98-year existence.
It looks like we have a breakthrough in three of this summer's biggest transfer rumors: Robert "Something Died Inside Me" Lewandowski, Barcelona bargaining chip Frenkie de Jong and the Bugatti Veyron-less Cristiano Ronaldo.
There exists a Special Relationship between the United States and England. Though the American colonies rebelled and gained their freedom from British rule in 1776, the nations have long since become allies, their shared language and religion serving as salve.
These days, many Americans are obsessed with the British monarchy, while many Brits are equally obsessed with American culture. This Special Relationship with the UK extends through politics, economics, culture and religion.
It stops at soccer.
Four days ago, Paul Pogba was taking part in Ronaldinho and Roberto Carlos’ “The Beautiful Game” charity match in Miami, Florida. In that short time, he’s now hosting one of his own in Guinea 4,700 miles away.

Football freestyler Martijn Debbaut went viral in June after a video was posted of him nutmegging Kevin de Bruyne. The freestyler and TikTok star has been taking the ankles and souls of his victims for years now and people are uncovering his older videos.

Is it the hilarious reactions of the kids as their teammates get megged? Or is it the ridiculous skill of Debbaut? Hard to say, but easy to watch.

Jordan Morris scored a 91st minute header as the USMNT salvaged a 1-1 draw with El Salvador in the Concacaf Nations League on Tuesday night at Estadio Cuscatlán in San Salvador. A bigger story than the result was the mess of a field the match was played on, with rain turning an already poor pitch into a cow pasture by the end of the night.
Club León presentó este viernes a Byron Castillo, el jugador que casi deja a Ecuador sin Mundial, como nuevo refuerzo para el Apertura 2023 de la Liga MX.

On Tuesday night in Brazil's second division, ninth-place Náutico was scheduled to host Vasco da Gama in Recife with kickoff set for 6:00 p.m. ET.
But 13 minutes past the scheduled hour, Náutico had still not emerged from its dressing room while Vasco da Gama and the referees had already taken the pitch.

As the great Maximus Decimus Meridius once said, never know when you're conquered. Even when all about you is burning and crumbling to ruin, remain calm and listen to that little voice inside that says, "Hold on! You might still go viral!"
That's what happened to Malta's U-21 team in Tuesday's UEFA U-21 Euro 2023 qualifier against Spain's collection of twinkle-toed phenoms from La Masia and La Fábrica.
