Giggs Subbing Himself On During His Final Home Match Was The Ultimate Flex

Manchester United produced its fair share of footballing legends during Sir Alex Ferguson's tenure in the north west of England, but few can lay claim to Ryan Giggs' idyllic exit in 2014.

(Paul Scholes did lift the Premier League trophy after his final United match, but after he was subbed on, United allowed West Brom to overcome a three-goal deficit and salvage a draw — not exactly flawless).

Donovan To León Or Chicharito To The Galaxy: Which Transfer Was Worse?

Javier “Chicharito” Hernández’s time in MLS hit a new low on Sunday night as Mexico’s all time leading scorer was benched in favor of Colombian journeyman Yony González.

Remembering The Night When Ronaldo Earned And Converted 3 Penalties Vs. Argentina

20 years from now, the only piece of nostalgia that I’ll wax lyrical on is the old CONMEBOL World Cup qualifying process. Put simply, it’s the perfect blend of skill, savagery, emotion and history. There’s really nothing like it on the planet. 

That’ll all change next cycle when the 2026 World Cup qualifying process expands to allow 48 teams into the final (including six from CONMEBOL), and I’m already learning to say goodbye the hard way with Fanatiz currently charging $30 to view a qualifying match.

It’s Been 50 Years Since The Free Kick So Brilliant It Was Immediately Banned

Free kicks have the ability to get all viewers on the edge of their seats. Masters of the free kick like Kevin de Bruyne, Lionel Messi and others make the occasion even more exciting. One move that will have everyone losing their minds is a planned free kick routine. No one routine has ever topped the infamous "Donkey Kick free kick" from Coventry City.
