Adelaide United's Josh Cavallo on Sunday called out homophobic abuse that was directed at him during an A-League draw with Melbourne Victory, saying he had "no words" to describe his disappointment.
Cavallo became the first active A-League player to come out as gay in October, drawing support from fellow professionals across the world.
Week after week, Jaime Escandar proved his talents as a striker in Club Aparición, a small amateur squad in Paine, a town a few miles south of Santiago, Chile. In the words of his teammates, he was a natural. He could score goals with his right foot, with his left foot, with his head. He just scored goals for every taste.
But last weekend, his goal was a bit different.

Joe Buck: "Welcome to Philadelphia, PA for this riveting divisional game between the Philadelphia Eagles and Elgin City FC, as these two rivals fight for the NFC East title. I'm Joe Buck and this is my partner Troy Aikman, and Troy, what have you made of this stifling Elgin City defense?"

With that in mind, Sydney Leroux was in the backyard getting in some training this week with her 5-year-old son, Cassius, who was sporting a full Tottenham kit. Leroux, a 31-year-old Orlando Pride forward and prime Mom of the Year candidate, did what any self-respecting parent would do upon seeing their offspring wearing Spurs colors: kick a ball straight at the kid’s head.
While not quite as bad as 2020, 2021 was not exactly a great year. The Covid-19 pandemic still rages, providing daily disruptions to our lives, politics remained fucked as ever, preventing any real progress on issues of climate change or equity, and my favorite soccer teams all still suck. But an Instagram post featuring Christen Press and Tobin Heath may have just made the entire year worth it.
Entre posts que dan cuenta de sus sesiones de entrenamiento con Tigres, su incipiente carrera musical y su amor por Balenciaga, Carlos Salcedo compartió en sus historias de Instagram uno de sus curiosos gustos culinarios: sopa de fideos con banana.
Sí, leíste bien, sopa de fideos con banana. Y fideos en formas de letras para ser precisos, aunque seguramente el tipo de fideo es lo que menos importa.

Con la casi segura salida de su talismán, Camilo Sanvezzo, rumbo al Toluca, el Mazatlán FC movió rápido sus tentáculos y anunció uno de los refuerzos que intentará llenar el vacío que dejará el brasileño.
Antes de revelar su identidad, sin embargo, los cañoneros realizaron una dinámica en redes sociales pidiéndole a sus aficionados adivinar el nombre del jugador en cuestión.
Puede que Raúl Jiménez sea uno de los 10 jugadores más devaluados en la Premier League en la última temporada, sin embargo, la pasión que genera entre los aficionados del Wolverhampton sigue intacta, tal como quedó demostrado durante esta Navidad.
