He loved nothing more than snatching the souls of lost Millonarios.

Like a severed pig's head flying through the air and landing near the corner flag, a Netflix documentary surrounding Luis Figo's infamous transfer from Barcelona to Real Madrid is dramatically arriving Thursday, Aug. 25.
Titled "El Caso Figo" ("The Figo Affair"), the documentary promises in-depth testimonies from Figo, Pep Guardiola, former Barça president Joan Gaspart and — the man making a supremely dramatic entrance in the final 10 seconds of the trailer — Florentino Pérez himself.
These days, soccer jerseys are more than just a colored shirt your favorite team plays in. They’re a way to express yourself, who you are and what the sport means to you. It's fashion, it's style, it's a way of life. Every year, clubs release their new home, away and third kits to much scrutiny, and while some are instant classics, many are destined for a life in the back of someone's closet, never to be worn again. With the Premier League well and truly underway today, what better time to decide who is going into this season with the best Premier League jerseys?
Real Madrid and Club América play a friendly on Tuesday, July 26 as part of the Soccer Champions Tour 2022. The game takes place in San Francisco and marks the second time they've squared off in this city through five total historical meetings.
The first time they faced off in the Golden City was on Aug. 4, 2010. A friendly at the now extinct Candlestick Park saw the teams preparing for the 2010-11 season with perhaps the most entertaining match of their short rivalry.
This is the match every young footballer dreams of playing in one day. The match where legends are created. The match that determines the champion of the world. The final of the most magnificent sporting event on the planet will be played once again on Dec. 18, 2022, in Qatar. So what better time than now to look at some of the most incredible World Cup final records?
This past Serie A season saw Venezia FC relegated back to the second division, but damn, did they look good doing it. The club's made a reputation for itself in recent years for having some of the best-looking kits in world soccer. This year is no exception.
Count Jon-Paul Wheatley among the thousands of us who tried his hand at a new hobby during the Covid-19 pandemic. He’s just been a little more successful at it than the rest of us. Making good on a background in physical product design, Wheatley bought a set of leather-working tools and set out to make a soccer ball. Now, videos of his creations garner millions of views on TikTok.
20 years ago today, on June 30, 2002, Brazil won the last of its five World Cup titles. La Canarinha defeated Germany 2-0 in the final thanks to an unstoppable Ronaldo. O Fenõmeno scored a brace against Oliver Kahn and was stellar during the entire tournament. However, what is the thing most people remember from the striker? Not his goals but his silly, stupid haircut.
It is one of the sweetest victories in USMNT history and one of the most painful for El Tri. Today, June 17, the most celebrated Dos a Cero victory of the United States over Mexico turns 20 years old.
The game for the round of 16 at the 2002 World Cup was the first and only time both national teams have faced each other on soccer's biggest stage. And since then, the scoreboard has become the favorite rallying cry among the U.S. fans against Mexico.
