For years, soccer fans have played pub trivia and quizzed their friends on seemingly obscure knowledge they possess about the beautiful game. They use the phrase, “you know ball” to refer to anyone who seems to know what they’re talking about. But there has never been a person who knows ball quite like Eric Franck.

Setting up a free-kick from some 40 yards out, no one in the stadium expected Pinell to shoot.

OH. MY. GOLAZO!

El fútbol mexicano sufrió una nueva derrota ante Estados Unidos. Esta vez durante el lúdico Skills Challenge que precede al Juego de las Estrellas de la MLS vs. la Liga MX.
