Loretta Lynch is one of the most powerful people in the USA. She has used that power to help take down the powers that be at FIFA and CONCACAF, uncovering various acts of corruption and bribery and what have you.
Lynch appeared on the Colbert Report Late Show With Stephen Colbert (sorry) to talk about various aspects of her job as US Attorney General. FIFA comes up pretty quick.
Zlatan Ibrahimovic endorses a vitamin drink in Sweden called Vitamin Well. They're doing an advertising campaign right now that featurez Zlatan interacting with terrified, awkward everyday people (or actors pretending to be terrified, awkward people, whatever).
The first commercial in the series had Zlatan as a terrifying job interviewer. The newest one has Zlatan terrorizing a bike messenger. This should be good.
Leicester City continue their Premier League dominance with a 1 - 0 win over Newcastle United. There was a lot of anticipation for this match up as this was Rafa Benitez's first match as manager for Newcastle. Unfortunately it did not go his way as Shinji Okazaki scored a wonderful bicycle kick to take a 1 - 0 lead in the 25th minute. The victory put Leicester City 5 points clear of 2nd place Tottenham. With only 8 matches left in the 2015 - 2016 EPL season for Leicester City, can they hold on to the 5 point lead or will another team get hot and overtake the top spot?
Sacha Baron Cohen is either one of the funniest men alive or the biggest jackass in the world depending on your perspective. The comedic genius that came up with characters such as Borat and Ali G has used those same characters to give unflinching, often cringeworthy social commentary...and possibly pink eye. This next video shows Baron Cohen’s flair for character creation, without ruffling too many feathers. In it, we hear the story of Sacha Baron Cohen visiting hooligans. Prepare yourself for some pretty hilarious hooligan impressions.
Jesus Corona or "El Tecatito" has been touted as the future of El Tri because of his fleet-footed, skillful style of play and his ability to create a piece of magic out of nothing. This video is a perfect example of those characteristics.
Leicester City’s improbable march towards a Premier League titled continued on Monday following a spirited 1-0 victory over relegation-threatened Newcastle United. Leicester managed only a single shot on target over the course of the match but the outcome of that shot was a goal fit to win any game. In what will perhaps go a long way towards securing a first-ever EPL title for the Foxes, Shinji Okazaki's overhead goal earned Leicester another three points.
Kristaps Grabovskis is good at soccer. Like, really good. So good he's being compared to Messi by adults who should really know better at this point (including, now, us).
We can't seem to help it though. Every time we see a 10-year-old in a Youtube video who can dribble a soccer ball withoug falling down we run to anoint him the next Messi. Or some other legendary player, but it's nearly always Messi.
PSG became Ligue 1’s champion after a brutal 9-0 win over Troyes. With this title secured, Laurent Blanc’s squad can focus on Champions League only, a trophy they really desire this season and this year they have their best chance to do so.
The game between Dortmund and Mainz on Sunday was overshadowed by the tragic death of a Dortmund fan who suffered a heart attack in the stadium. After news of the tragedy started to break around the stadium, the game took a backseat as both players and fans alike were visibly shaken by the event. The usually boisterous atmosphere of the Westfalenstadion was eerily quiet as everyone paid their silent respects to the fan who lost his life.
Rom7ooo is one of the most prolific producers of soccer content on YouTube. With almost 200,000,000 view across all of their videos, they have shown that they have an eye for what the soccer fan wants to see. So when I found out that they created a video containing what they thought were the 30 most creative passes of all time, I was very excited. Rom7ooo doesn’t mess around, even when the subject is messing around.
