Violence seemed to reign supreme this weekend. There were several fights as the European season fully kicked off on Friday, and Twitter had a field day with Manchester United.
Soccer is ever-moving. Just as soon as one season end, the next begins, and with it comes an overwhelming supply of games, moments and, most importantly, memes from the past week. Here, we make sure that you never miss a moment of the greatness that goes on in just 280 characters. This is “This Weekend On Soccer Twitter.”
We've featured some talented bears on the hallowed pages of The18 in the past. Orlando City's Júnior Urso. Grant Conybear, who taught us how to rake a cross-field switch. Nika, the bear who predicted matches at the Confederations Cup.
La cuenta oficial del Napoli presumió el retorno de sus jugadores para el inicio de la pretemporada 2022-23. Y entre ellos estaba el mexicano Hirving Lozano, a quien compararon con un saijayín de Dragon Ball Z.

No es un día fácil para ser aficionado de Pumas. Los de la UNAM perdieron de manera estrepitosa la final de la Liga de Campeones de la Concacaf ante el Seattle Sounders (3-0) y con ello dejaron morir una racha de 16 años de dominio mexicano en la competencia.

I've nutmegged rivals, I've been nutmegged and I've watched a fair amount of nutmegs through my life. I've seen nutmegs that were only a display of skills, other ones that were the only option available to maintain the control of the ball and a few others that were just by chance.

The United States men’s national team punched its ticket for 2022 World Cup in Qatar — with a rather disappointing 2-0 loss to Costa Rica — on Wednesday for the first time since 2013. Just under a decade has passed since the last time USA qualified for World Cup.
