A lot of amazing athletes have torn their ACLs. Derrick Rose, Adrian Peterson and Tom Brady just to name a few. It’s probably the biggest fear for any athlete who relies on their legs, as the recovery can take up to 10 months – and that doesn’t even include the psychological aspect of the injury.
Lindsey Horan and Kosovare Asllani are roommates and friends, and to most Parisian passersby, that is probably all they ever are.
What do you get when you take an American girl from South Carolina with Scottish parents and give her a soccer ball? You get one of the best freestylers that The18 has ever seen.
Take a look at world freestyle soccer champion, Indi Cowie:
The Chelsea women entered the final match day of the Women’s Super League with a two point lead on Birmingham, but come day's end it was Liverpool who finished atop the table.

Her social media game is on point and she is going to be one of America’s biggest personalities come the Women’s World Cup this summer.
Sydney Leroux knew from a young age that she wanted to play soccer for the United States. The Canadian born Leroux played in the U-19 women’s World Cup as a 14-year-old for Canada, and after that she knew her next step was to find a way to play with the best team in the world.
FIFA has commissioned an independent review of the playing surfaces for the World Cup, and players are threatening to sue.
