I have a bone to pick with you, UEFA. Not only did you block me from embedding your video with all the nominations for Goal of the Season, forcing me to find them on Twitter, but you didn’t include Weston McKennie’s scissor-kick goal at Camp Nou. I need to have a word with the committee.
Jose Mourinho has officially managed his first game for AS Roma, and it went about as smooth as possible. Roma hosted Serie D side Montecatini at the training ground on Thursday and gave the poor minnows a proper beatdown 10-0.
Roma played the friendly match somewhat short-handed as players who participated in the Euros weren’t present. Not that it really mattered as the Italian club still cruised to victory.
While the superstars run around on the pitch, some clubs have even more recognizable fans supporting them. Everyone knows who Tom Cruise and David Beckham support, but what clubs are the younger generations of celebrities choosing to align with?
Here we go through what clubs are being backed by which celebrities and how they became supporters.
Las últimas imágenes de Cristiano Ronaldo, dentro de un campo en esta temporada, ocurrieron el pasado 27 de junio. Ese día la selección de Portugal fue eliminada de la Euro a manos de Bélgica y CR7 era una bola de frustración, que tiraba la jineta de capitán al piso, lleno de rabia e impotencia. Horas después, sin embargo, el jugador entraba en modo zen para poder disfrutar de una merecidas vacaciones junto a su novia Georgina Rodríguez y sus hijos, Crisitano Junior, Alana Martina y los gemelos Eva y Mateo.
Mention the phrase "Italian center back" and the first thought that will come to the minds of most football fans is the indomitable pairing of Giorgio Chiellini and Leonardo Bonucci.
The veteran duo just led Italy to its first European Championship since 1968 and provided a masterclass in defending against some of the continent's best attacking talents.
But in recent days, another Italian center back has been drawing his share of attention on the internet, but not for his performances on the pitch.
International tournaments often seem like a red carpet event for the biggest names in world football, yet often the most intriguing players on the pitch are the up-and-coming stars, the b-listers of the footballing world, if you will.
Euro 2020 introduced us to a wide range of talented young players. Some were familiar by name and statistical output, but this was the first chance for them to prove themselves on such a large stage. Others were relative unknowns, ony entering the public footballing consciousness within the last month.
COPENHAGEN - European football governing body UEFA has invited Denmark international Christian Eriksen and the paramedics who helped save his life during an on-field cardiac arrest to attend the Euro 2020 final at Wembley on Sunday.
The brilliant Danish midfielder was resuscitated in front of shocked fans and a massive global TV audience during his nation's first match of the tournament.
Fiorentina has pulled off a fine piece of business by securing the services of the highly sought after forward Nicolás González. The 23-year-old Argentina native arrived last week from Stuttgart to complete a $25.3 million move.
González moved to Stuttgart from childhood club Argentinos Juniors in 2018 and went on to score 23 times and assist 10 goals in 79 games for the Swabians. He played a key role in the side that won promotion to the Bundesliga in 2019-20, scoring 14 goals. He missed much of last season through injury after suffering a torn muscle fiber.
Zlatan Ibrahimovic presented on his social networks the trailer of his movie that will be released on Sept. 10. "I Am Zlatan", is the name of the film that will reflect the life of the Swedish footballer, from his childhood to his career as a footballer.
Romelu Lukaku and Kevin De Bruyne go together in Belgium's attack like peanut butter and jelly coming together to make the most timeless of sandwiches. They've built their impressive careers at separate clubs, but when they come together with Belgium there's little opponents can do to stop them. Having so much success between them, the two obviously had to create a celebratory handshake to go with it.
