When actors Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney purchased fifth-tier Wrexham AFC back in February, they promised to turn the Welsh side into a global force, safeguard the club’s history (it’s the third oldest football team in the world), invest in the women’s squad and redevelop the 157-year-old Racecourse Stadium.
Believe it or not, there exists a population of humans who have never seen a single episode of “Ted Lasso.” If you belong to such a group, let me tell you now is the best time to get into Ted Lasso.
If you haven’t had an opportunity to listen to the Hwang Hee-chan Korean commentary of his goals in the Premier League, then you’re in for a great time. If you’re here to listen to the commentators lose their minds again, I can’t blame you.
Hwang is on loan to Wolves from RB Leipzig this season and has now netted three Premier League goals in just four appearances. If he keeps up this scoring rate, then I’m worried his fellow countrymen in South Korea who do the commentary for games will surely lose their voices by December.
Ahead of Sunday’s El Tráfico between the Los Angeles Galaxy and LAFC at Dignity Health Sports Park, the Galaxy revealed a statue of Landon Donovan outside the stadium to commemorate his contributions to the club, including four MLS Cups.
As José Mourinho once explained, Mario Balotelli occasionally starts playing his own game with its own set of rules out on the pitch.
In the 62nd minute of Friday’s Süper Lig encounter between Balotelli’s Adana Demirspor and home side Antalyaspor, the 31-year-old striker sprinted through the midfield on a counter attack that was quickly looking like a three-on-two for the visitors. With the score level at 1-1, this represented a huge moment for Adana Demirspor.
With clubs like Werder Bremen, Hamburg, Schalke and Nürnberg, the 2. Bundesliga is quietly becoming the place to be. Look no further than these highlights from Friday’s match between Erzgebirge and Hamburg if you need more proof.
In a 1-1 draw, we witnessed two of the most memorable goals of the 2021-22 European season.
Erzgebirge’s opener in the 23rd minute came after Hamburg defender Jonas David planted a clearing header into attacker Antonio Jonjić. The ball struck Jonjić in the back of the head and flew into the goal.
Season 2 of “Ted Lasso” has been building to a crescendo for a while now. Since Episode 208, the hits have kept coming. But the penultimate episode of the season, “Midnight Train To Royston,” felt a bit like a big tease. There were no real major plot revelations and the one new storyline felt forced and awkward.
Arsenal midfielder Jordan Nobbs said a name of a dog breed in a recent Sky Sports video that has sent me through the roof. The video features Nobbs and Rob Holding in a competition to see who can name more things relating to a certain topic.
The video is quite entertaining, and I highly recommend checking it out.
