Shakira’s 3-Year-Old Is Scoring Golazos For Barca, And That Makes Momma Proud

I’m sure you already know this, but we should all aim to be more like Shakira. Alongside Cristiano Ronaldo and Vin Diesel, she’s among the only three people on the planet to have amassed over 100 million Facebook followers, but that doesn’t stop her from going absolutely mental during El Clásico like the rest of us plebeians.  

First Goal Of U-17 Women's World Cup Was A Casual 40-Yard Chip Golazo

The U-17 Women's World Cup kicked off on Tuesday in Uruguay, featuring 16 of the best youth national teams in the world. 

It didn’t take long for the tournament to show just how good these young women are.

While the opening match of the tournament finished 0-0 between Brazil and Japan, the second — between New Zealand and Finland — provided an incredible first goal of the tournament.

Pele Said He Was Brazilian And Gerrard Said He Was Messi, But Joe Cole Was Just Joe Cole

Former England, Chelsea and West Ham attacker Joe Cole has announced his retirement from football, bringing an end to a 20-year professional career that included three Premier League titles, two FA Cup triumphs and one banging goal against Sweden at the 2006 World Cup.

I can hear some of you claiming that you didn’t know the 37-year-old was still out here balling, but that’s a massive disservice to one of the cornerstones of Division II soccer in America, the Tampa Bay Rowdies.

Rachel Daly’s Goal From This Weekend Was So Casual Yet So Insane

Women’s soccer is in the midst of an international break right now, which means, as some may be aware, yes, yes the USWNT is playing — but so are many others. One of these others is England, who scheduled a pair of friendlies against European competition as part of its World Cup preparations.

The Connection On This Bicycle Kick Is Sweeter Than A Love Story

Dinamo Zagreb traveled to NK Lokomotiva for a top of the table clash in the Croatian first division, and how about this for a game-winning goal from 24-year-old Croatian forward Bruno Petković? 

Struck in the 16th minute, not only did this goal ultimately open up an eight-point lead for Zagreb at the top of the table, it’s also the sort of thundering overhead kick that’s generally reserved for Thor during a kick about on Asgard. 

The Libertadores Final Was Supposed To Be Lit, But That Was Something Else Entirely

There was no 42-pass team goal, but compared to today’s Manchester derby at the Etihad, the Boca Juniors-River Plate Copa Libertadores final seemed like it was being played on another planet entirely.

Papu Gómez’s Beautiful Curler Leaves Samir Handanović Contemplating Whatever He Wants

Even before fifth-place AC Milan and first-place Juventus kicked off at the San Siro on Sunday night, we were treated to an already excellent weekend in Serie A action. 

On Saturday, Napoli kept the pressure on Juve after defeating Genoa 2-1 at the Marassi. The match was pretty much played underwater, giving extra significance to the three points for the Neapolitan side. Here’s a little sampling of the play out there:  

Man City’s Absurd 42-Pass Team Goal Ensures That Manchester Is Blue

Manchester City achieved what Juventus could not on Sunday, burying Manchester United when another Jose Mourinho smash and grab threatened. Sumptuous goals from David Silva and Sergio Aguero had given City a 2-0 lead, but a needless foul by Ederson on Romelu Lukaku allowed Anthony Martial to halve the deficit in the 58th minute.
