If there is one overarching theme that sports teach us, it is that life comes at you fast. And when I say fast, I mean really, really fast. Just ask Newcastle fans. After their financial takeover, it is possible they qualify for European football in the same decade where they played in the Championship. If they had told their fans...
Everyone likes to be that knowledgeable friend in the group with all the information on the latest in underground trends. To help you be that friend, I have compiled this list of a few non-mainstream teams that play some of the best football on the planet. You can use this list to stay up to date on some of the...
There was a lot of movement this summer with strikers in the premier league. Gabriel Jesus made his way to London to join Arsenal, Darwin Nunez left Benfica for Liverpool, and Erling Haaland, the most wanted striker in quite a while, made his way to Manchester City. It begs the question, which of these strikers will score the most goals...
Every year it feels like FIFA rolls out some new rule change that is well-intentioned but ultimately a terrible idea. For example, they set the internet ablaze last summer when they suggested shortening a match to 60 minutes with a clock that stops when play halts and kick-ins instead of throw-ins. Basically, their brilliant idea to revolutionize...
On Europe's biggest stage, Thibaut Courtois had one of the greatest games ever seen in a position deemed by many to be the hardest in sports. Whether goalkeeping is the hardest can be up for debate, but it definitely is one of the loneliest positions in all of sports. I mean, we have seen this before, right? A goalkeeper has...
This Champions League final promises to be one of the most entertaining we've had in recent years, at least on paper. There are a plethora of great storylines at hand. We have the Ballon d'Or race, and what say Mane could have if he tops Benzema in the final. You have Mo Salah's opportunity for revenge. You have...

No bias or anything here; this is as objective and fair of a list as you'll find based on my soccer knowledge. in my humble opinion, these are the best fanbases to play for. And again, if you don't agree, don't forget to write your local congressman or woman....
I am fully prepared to seem like a hater for putting together this list in the order I have, but I must speak my mind. These fans can't keep getting away with it. From my perspective, here are the six worst fanbases in the game. Keyword, "my," so please, if you think I missed a team, write to your local congress man or woman and forgive me....
We've all seen it, sometimes with our favorite club or player, far too often, a player makes a dream transfer, and it turns out to be an absolute nightmare. The player gets turned into a meme on social media, maybe gets booed at the stadium, and it all results in a situation where both the player and club are left dissatisfied. ...
The only African player to ever win the Ballon d'Or was George Weah of Liberia in 1995. Samuel Eto'o came close a few times, as did Mo Salah, but I believe Sadio Mane is in a position to win the continent's second trophy and Sengal's first.
