Chelsea’s American owner Todd Boehly ruffled some European feathers on Tuesday when he suggested the Premier League hold an all-star game. “How dare some outsider suggest changes to our beloved game” was the standard outcry in England, but Liverpool coach Jürgen Klopp gave some of the worst reasons against a Premier League all-star game.
Released in 1997 on Nintendo 64, GoldenEye 007 brought countless hours of joy to crowded living rooms across the land as friends crowded around the TV to get their turn at dual-wielding Klobbs in four-player split-screen battles.
On Tuesday, Rare Limited, the brilliant video game developer behind the original title, broke the internet by confirming a long-rumored recreation of the game for Xbox consoles.
European soccer fans are some of the craziest and intense people you will ever meet. It’s not uncommon to see brawls, fans throwing flares and plenty of tomfoolery. I’ve seen plenty of nonsense, but a Croatian fan bringing an anti-tank weapon to a game is a new one.

DOHA - "Stop! Can't you see the metro station is full? Stop!" a frazzled supervisor shouted as green-vested marshals linked arms to contain thousands of fans streaming from the stadium that will host soccer's World Cup final in Qatar.

Sunday night's Liga MX game between Pachuca and Tijuana at Estadio Hidalgo brought us 90 minutes full of goals, though mostly by the home team.
The Hidalguenses blew Xolos out of the water with a one-sided 6-1 victory — showing that Pachuca is a strong contender for the Liga MX title and that Tijuana is bound to miss out on the playoffs once again.

USMNT center back Miles Robinson was released on $150 bond after he was arrested on Saturday night. The reason for the Miles Robinson arrest has many questioning how this happened.
Robinson, who has been out injured since May, was at PBR Atlanta, a self-proclaimed “Cowboy Bar” at The Battery Atlanta adjacent to Truist Park, home of the Atlanta MLB team. According to police reports, Robinson took a $5 shot off a tray, drank it and then refused to pay for it.
On Wednesday night, a Flamengo fan was arrested by Brazilian police moments before his team faced Vélez Sarsfield in the Copa Libertadores semifinals. His crime? Kissing an ESPN reporter on her cheek without consent.
And while for some this might sound excessive, the truth is that it's not.
The new "semi-automated offside technology" that's going to be used at the 2022 World Cup made its Champions League debut this week, and guess what, controversy and existential questions regarding humankind's dwindling agency in its own game — at the hands of the robots! — reigned supreme.
