Wintry Arctic Blast Causes Football Chaos Throughout UK

The UK was hit by a wintry blast from the Arctic this weekend as Storm Arwen brought high winds, freezing temperatures and heavy snowfall across the nation, while England and the Premier League experienced the brunt of it on Sunday.

The weather disrupted football matches across the land, most notably at Turf Moor as Burnley and Tottenham’s match was called off less than an hour before kickoff.

These Non-League Highlights From Scotland Are The Closest Thing To Footballing Perfection

Usually when we write about a random lower league soccer match, some wild incident or crazy goal has to be involved — and Scotland has been a hotbed for such action, ranging from the offbeat to the downright bizarre.

This Collaboration Between AC/DC And Scotland Goes As Hard As Hells Bells

There doesn’t seem to be much of a reason behind this collaboration between AC/DC and Umbro, but who needs one when the final products look like this.

According to the Umbro press release, the inspiration is an AC/DC show at the Glasgow Apollo on April 30, 1978. This was shortly before Scotland’s appearance at the 1978 World Cup in Argentina, and the band performed their encore wearing the Scotland ’78 jersey.

Arsenal Managed To Lose Its First Preseason Friendly In a Way That Only Arsenal Could

Scottish Premiership side Hibernian hosted Arsenal for a preseason friendly on Tuesday in a match that was very much a tale of two teams heading on opposite trajectories.

One club was preparing for European football after coming off its best league finish in 15 years — a season where it reached the semifinal of one domestic cup and the final of another.

The other was Arsenal.

The Gunners were reeling from a second consecutive eighth-place finish in the EPL and will be without European football this season for just the third time in the Premier League era.

Si Eres Escocés, Lo Siento, Pero El Golazo A Tres Dedos De Modric Es Para Verlo Una Y Otra Vez

El plan de Escocia para seguir con vida en su primera Euro desde 1996 era simple en el papel: ganarle a Croacia en Glasgow, jugando en casa. ¿El gran obstáculo? Un tal Luka Modric.

Para combatirlo, Escocia tenía que bloquear su genio, amarrar su imaginación y encontrarle antídoto a su magia. Y no vamos a decir que no lo intentó, pero al final del día el "10" croata terminó desatando el mismo talento con que ganó el Balón de Oro 2018, dejando a Escocia varada en una orilla, abandonada a sus miserias.

Scotland Scores First Goal At A Major Tournament Since 1998, But Croatian Class Eliminates The Scots
