The past week had been emotional for not just the soccer world but everyone as news continues to flood in about Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. The soccer community has produced an amazing response with symbols of peace and protest in many games.
Amid all the chaos BT Sport analyst Peter Crouch has given soccer fans something to smile about with a hilarious video of him and Rio Ferdinand preparing for a live shot after the Tottenham vs. Leeds game. Watch what happens when all six feet seven inches of Crouch tries to stand up in the rather small commentary box.
Christian Eriksen made his first professional appearance on Saturday for Brentford eight months after collapsing from a cardiac arrest during the Euros. In the 52nd minute of Brentford’s game against Newcastle the entire crowd inside Brentford Community Stadium stood on its feet to welcome Eriksen back to the field.
A month ago, Manchester City's trip to Everton on Saturday looked like a game which would just be one more step on Pep Guardiola's side's inevitable march to the Premier League title.
But a series of results in recent weeks makes the game not only a vital one for City, whose lead over Liverpool has been cut to just three points, but also has left Everton in desperate need of points in their battle for top flight survival.
Portsmouth's seven-year stay in the Premier League in the 2000s was marked by frequent relegation run-ins and one glorious 07-08 season that included an eighth-place finish in the Premier League and a victory in the FA Cup final.
These days, Pompey toils in the top quadrant of League One, with promotion to the EFL Championship almost as elusive as a return to the top flight.
Has your friend been acting differently lately? Perhaps they’re not going out as much, have suddenly become a morning person or have started putting beans on their toast like an absolute monster. You might have on your hands an American Premier League fan.
If you notice your friend has any of the following five symptoms there’s a solid chance this is the case.
Harry Kane was at his magnificent, glorious best on Saturday as he scored a brace to hand Manchester City its first Premier League loss since Oct. 2021. There aren’t enough adjectives in the dictionary to describe how entertaining Tottenham’s victory at Etihad Stadium was.
In the span of three minutes Manchester City’s players went from thinking they had scored a game-tying penalty kick in the 92nd minute to picking the ball out of their own net after Kane did what he does best.
LIVERPOOL — Liverpool had to dig deep for a 3-1 victory against lowly Norwich City with goals by Sadio Mane, Mohamed Salah and Luis Diaz securing the points after the visitors had threatened to pull off a massive shock at Anfield on Saturday.
In the end it looked relatively comfortable for Jürgen Klopp's side as they reduced Premier League leaders Manchester City's lead to six points - for a few hours at least.
LONDON - Liverpool have the chance to cut Manchester City's Premier League lead, albeit briefly, to six points on Saturday as they continue their distant pursuit of the champions.
Despite his team winning their last four games, Liverpool manager Jürgen Klopp says Manchester City will not be peering anxiously in their rearview mirror.
Tottenham Hotspur boss Antonio Conte said the club's current focus was on signing younger players who still needed to gain experience.
"If you want to grow faster, you want to try to be more competitive faster, you also need players with a lot of experience because then they increase the experience in your team," he told Italian Sky Sport in an interview.
Conte, who helped Serie A's Inter Milan to win the title last year and break Juventus's nine-year win streak, said Spurs came out of the January transfer window numerically weakened.
