Brexit Ball Is Alive And Well With Cardiff City And It's Immaculate Scoring Record

Fans of the Football League Championship will likely know that Cardiff City has been the division's most lethal set piece side over the past few seasons. 

The Welsh club's 51 set piece goals since the start of the 2019/20 campaign have been by far the best in the league, which shouldn't be a surprise given that striker Kieffer Moore — who stands every bit of 6-5 — topped the team with 20 goals last year and led the league with 10.5 aerials won per match (winning 119 more aerial duels than the second place finisher).

New Rule States That EPL Players Will Be Limited To 10 Headers In Training Per Week

English football will limit the number of high-force headers in training to 10 per week from the 2021-22 season to protect players as part of new guidelines, the Premier League and other governing bodies said on Wednesday.

Headers that involve higher forces are typically those taken after a long pass of more than 35 metres or from crosses, corners and free kicks, a joint statement from the governing bodies said.

The statement said that initial studies showed most of the headers are taken in training and the majority of those involve low forces.

What The World Looked Like The Last Time The USMNT Beat Mexico

The U.S. men's national team defeated Mexico in a highly contested match on Sunday to win the CONCACAF Nations League, marking the country’s first competitive victory over its rivals since September 10th, 2013.

The fruitless streak continued so long that I personally graduated middle school, high school and was just one year away from graduating college before the U.S. was victorious again. Christian Pulisic, the American captain who scored the go-ahead goal, was just 14 years old when the U.S. last claimed victory.

Thoughts raced through my head, realizing that I was about to officially record my first clean sheet of the season. Then as clear as day the ball was passed to me, and as I went to stop it with my foot it slowly but surely skipped right below my outstretched foot and into the awaiting net behind me.

El Matador Cavani Continúa Sepultando La Maldición Del 7 En El Manchester United

Otro día más de oficina para Edinson Cavani y otro gol más para el uruguayo. Saliendo desde la banca, el Matador convirtió el tanto que cerró la victoria 1-3 del Manchester United sobre Aston Villa y que mantiene su demoledor ritmo frente a las redes rivales.
