Why Colombia Must Not Be Allowed To Win The World Cup

Para muchos, especialmente en América del sur, la Copa del mundo lo es todo. Cada cuatro años los fanáticos del fútbol se reúnen con la esperanza de que su país gane el trofeo. Para algunos (Alemania, Brasil), es algo que se puede lograr. Para otros (Inglaterra, Estados Unidos) es tan solo un sueño. Las esperanzas de Colombia de ganar la Copa del mundo están en el medio de estos, pero de verdad espero que Los Cafeteros no sean los ganadores en Rusia en julio.

What Do Footballers And Chain Restaurants Have In Common?

The haters said this concept would never work as an article. "You'll never find 10 footballers who could conceivably be compared to restaurant chains via different quirks that they have, and even if you did, Facebook's algorithm would do to that article what white American settlers did to the buffalo herds roaming the Great Plains in the 1800s. Sure, it worked with clubs but it will never work with players."

The haters, as usual, were wrong.

There Is Only One Man Who Can Save Arsenal Now

Batten down the hatches, because I am about to unleash the takestorm to end all takestorms.

Arsenal are in trouble. This much is obvious. They just conceded six unanswered goals to Manchester City in 180 minutes of competition. Manchester City are very good, granted, but Arsenal are one of the biggest, richest clubs in Europe. Arsenal have lost more matches in all competitions (seven) than any other Premier League club in 2018.

Roberto Firmino Has Given Rise To The Greatest Stat In All Of Soccer

Roberto Firmino cemented his reputation as the most disrespectful, no-fucks-given player in the game when he scored Liverpool's third goal against West Ham this weekend with a no-look finish.

That was not the first time Firmino has scored a no-look goal this season. In fact, it has been a staple throughout his career, so much so that there's enough material available for a whole highlight video.

It's Past Time For Arsene Wenger To Leave Arsenal

It wasn't that Arsenal lost to Manchester City in the Carabao Cup final. That was to be expected. It was how they lost. At least, that's what the folks who get paid lots of money to unleash Hot Soccer Takes are saying. No word on what their Hot Soccer Takes would be if Arsenal had gamely hung in there and lost a close one.
