On the final day of 2019, The18 made the prediction that the new cringeworthy-yet-lovable social media app TikTok would be the future of soccer content. Somehow that is becoming the truth as with no sports being played soccer lovers are forced to find new ways to get their fix. If you’re new to TikTok and looking for content, here are the best TikTok soccer accounts to follow.
The Orlando Pride made the best of being quarantined by having fun with a 70’s themed Zoom workout this week.
The Pride’s strength and conditioning coach, Ivi Casagrande, led the team in a fun workout with some guest appearances from pets, family members and some 70’s workout attire (Marta’s attire was my favorite hands down). No better way to workout than with your teammates and have some fun.
If you’re like me, this past month has been so goddamn awful for your fitness that you can only refuse to acknowledge anything. Without rec soccer and the gym, I’m half-man, half-beer.
A few days ago I forced myself out on a run after being deeply troubled by an inner voice saying my time for running was now over — everything was just too exceedingly difficult to even contemplate doing, so don’t do it. That’s my mind without exercise. It’s a real bastard.

Former Real Madrid goalkeeper Iker Casillas has proposed a grand idea for the return of football. The current FC Porto shot-stopper tweeted on Monday the thought of bringing all the former Real Madrid and Barcelona stars together for a massive El Clásico charity match.
It appears as though scoring two goals to knock Liverpool out of the Champions League was not enough for Marcos Llorente. The Atlético Madrid striker had to add insult to injury.
Llorente recently posted a picture to his Instagram stories of one of his pugs, which it looks as though he has renamed Anfield after the site of his destruction of Liverpudlian hopes of a repeat European championship.
Two of the most iconic African footballers of all time took to social media to denounce disgustingly racist comments made on French television on Thursday. Former Barcelona, Inter Milan and Chelsea striker Samuel Eto’o quite rightly called them “sons of bitches.”
Professors Jean-Paul Mira and Camille Locht were discussing possible COVID-19 cures on French TV channel La Chaine Info on Thursday. Mira suggested to Locht the studies should be done in Africa.
One of the most highly anticipated soccer babies in U.S. history is almost here. Alex Morgan, who has won two Women’s World Cups and an Olympic gold medal, will soon give birth to a baby with her husband, Servando Carrasco, a former LA Galaxy midfielder. So y’all want to see some Alex Morgan pregnancy photos?
Tanzanian assistant referee Frank Komba isn’t letting anything come between himself and his linesman duties. Komba — like most of us — is stuck inside his home and unable to officiate any matches. When games resume, he won’t be at all rusty thanks to his at-home training.
