Soccer, like all sports, is a game of unpredictability. No two situations are alike, and players must constantly be willing to adapt in order to succeed. This season, the pinnacle of this adaptation is the face-save by the most trend-forward goal keepers across the globe.
OK. We know what you're thinking. What do the Instagram accounts of the wives and girlfriends of famous soccer players have to do with actual soccer?

Alex Morgan and Sydney Leroux aren’t the only star soccer players to dress up for Halloween. The ghoulish - or downright silly - sentiment streams across the world and you'll be happy to know some of the world's best players dress up for Halloween. We hope they do it again this year.

Bartender? Bouncer? Not quite. You see, Nathan is a professional footballer.
