Syrian boy fulfills dream of meeting Cristiano Ronaldo after surviving earthquake

A boy from Syria who told rescue workers after a devastating earthquake in February that he wanted to meet Cristiano Ronaldo came face to face with his idol on Friday after being invited to watch his club Al Nassr play in Saudi Arabia.

Nabil Saeed made the request to rescue workers in Syria in a video shared on social media last month following the 7.8 magnitude earthquake that struck Turkey and Syria on Feb. 6.

More than 50,000 people have died as a result of the quake. The death toll in Syria is more than 5,900, authorities said.

Incredible scenes as 37,000 women and children cheer on club in Brazil after men were banned

If you’re looking to find some videos that will give you goosebumps, then you’ve come to the right place. Videos of Athletico Paranaense fans have gone viral and for a special reason.

The Brazilian club is currently serving a ban on fans due to fights breaking out in the stadium. There was one loophole with the ban: only men were barred from attending the games.

Women and children were allowed to watch the team and so what the club did was make the entry fee for games one kilogram of non-perishable food. The turnout was spectacular.

El Tri player in hot water after throwing narco-themed party for son's 12th birthday

Mexican international and Cruz Azul defender Julio César Domínguez ("Cata") has gone viral after several photos of his 12-year-old son came to light. What's the fuss about the images? They show he threw the kid a narco-themed birthday celebration.

Yikes!

People were quick to criticize Domínguez online, calling him out for trying to glorify and praise criminal organizations that are responsible for tens of thousands of deaths around Mexico every year. 

The Real Betis stuffed animal toss is one of the best traditions in soccer

Soccer has a unique power. It brings people together and unites communities for the love of the game. It can be easy to forget about the humanity of a crowd when watching from afar. The match takes center stage and suddenly, the massive crowd in attendance is nothing more than a backdrop for the commentary crew to reference periodically. 

Not in Sevilla. Not for the fans of Real Betis.

¡Dio resultado! La (casi) inadvertida cábala de Antonela Roccuzzo y los hijos de Messi durante el Mundial

Fue el Mundial de Messi. El GOAT cumplió su sueño de ser campeón del mundo con Argentina, en una performance difícil de olvidar, ganada por el talento sobrenatural que llevan sus pies, la conmovedora entrega de sus compañeros en el campo de juego y también el incondicional amor de su familia en las tribunas.

Seeing the Messi kids hugging each other after daddy's goal vs. Australia will melt your heart

This World Cup is special for Lionel Messi — not only because he wants glory, not only because it's probably his last one, but also because his three kids are old enough to watch him play.

"From the very beginning, from kick-off to the final whistle, I'm thinking of my children," confessed the Argentine star after defeating Australia and qualifying for the quarterfinals against the Netherlands. 

Los hijos de Messi parten rumbo a Catar y dejan el árbol de Navidad armado en casa

Video: Aficionado le pidió a Álvaro Fidalgo tener un hijo con su novia

Álvaro Fidalgo se ha convertido por lejos en uno de los jugadores favoritos de la afición americanista. El español ha dejado el corazón en la cancha y el romance no deja de crecer. Tanto que un simpatizante azulcrema llegó a pedirle que tuviera un hijo con su novia. 

Aficionado le pide a Álvaro Fidalgo tener un hijo con su novia

La curiosa situación ocurrió en el último amistoso del América con el Nashville SC de la MLS. Fidalgo – quien comenzó el duelo en la banca – hacía el trabajo de precompetencia cuando un aficionado comenzó a gritarle desde las gradas:

The Most Amazing Urban Soccer Fields Around The Country

The world's love of soccer stems from many reasons, but one of the most fundamental tenets of the game is that it can be played by anyone, anywhere and at anytime. If you have a ball, then you have your Theater of Dreams. 

For far too long America remained largely ignorant of this fact — believing that the sport was only played 11-on-11 on the pristine fields of suburban America. Thankfully, that way of thinking has suffered a humiliating death (see: MLS 1.0 to 3.0), and the people's game is now thriving across the country's urban core.
