Every former footballer can think back to their playing days and remember those games when the elements went wild. Sometimes you were about to pass out due to heat exhaustion, freeze to death in tundra-like weather or drown from a downpour of rain.
The professionals have to deal with the elements as well, as seen in this list of the worst weather football games ever.
#1. The Cold
Due to EVENTS, there are things I miss about soccer — namely the performance, observance and existence of it. Alas, there’s not going to be any soccer for a while, and that’s for the best. The virus doesn’t move, we move it, so it’s time to stop moving.
Staying at home is hard. National Women’s Soccer League players and staff, who were getting ready to start the league’s eighth season, have struggled to deal with it just as much as the rest of us. But many NWSL clubs have found the perfect way to stay connected and prevent boredom while we all practice social distancing to prevent the spread of coronavirus.
As everyone is trapped inside trying to keep busy, TikTok has been taking over the worldwide boredom. From dances to funny pranks and new celebs joining the community, you will definitely be entertained.
Chelsea's Christian Pulisic decided to take his talents to the TikTok world and he did not disappoint. In a time of negative news and worry, Pulisic found a way to accidentally put smiles on every football fan's face.
If you need some light in your life check out his first and only TikTok, proof that Pulsiic is just like the rest of us:
There is nothing more American than a McDonald’s apple pie and Major League Soccer. Probably. But is there a correlation between MLS success and a club’s proximity to McDonald’s? Let’s take a closer look.
There are around 14,000 McDonald’s restaurants in the United States. So it’s no surprise every MLS stadium falls within four miles of a Big Mac and fries. We took a look at every MLS club and its proximity to the closest McDonald’s and found some interesting trends.
In these troubling times of self-isolation and social distancing, many soccer stars are showcasing either their toilet-paper juggling skills or some home workouts, showing their readiness to return to the pitch.
Chelsea Women defender Maria Thorisdottir was the latest to take her shot at a work out video.
But her golden retriever, Theo, had other plans.
The mid-aughts were a sort of golden age for world football.
We’ll never forget Liverpool’s incredible comeback against AC Milan in the 2005 Champions League, Zinedine Zidane’s headbutt in the 2006 World Cup final, Chelsea’s return to prominence under Jose Mourinho, someone other than the U.S. winning the Women’s World Cup and, of course, the Houston Dynamo winning back-to-back championships in MLS.
If you have ever wondered what some of the greatest football stars are doing with their spare time, the answer is either working out or having fun.
The majority of players are sharing their post-workout pictures to show everyone how they’re staying in top form.

Moroccan side Raja Club Athletic followed its tradition for posting the team’s starting lineup ahead of its next match. This time around, the club’s opponent just so happens to be humanity’s adversary as well.
Let’s take a look at the chosen 11 Raja Club Athletic is fielding against COVID-19 and break down each player.
No match is complete without a world-renowned broadcaster on the call. While footballers are finding ways to stay fit and in top-form during this break, commentators are doing the same. One of the best examples is this hilarious update from Clive Tyldesley's kitchen.
