0 comments by on 6/27/2015

Robinho became Robinho circa 2007 for Brazil’s Copa America Quarterfinal game against Paraguay as he scored the opening goal of the game. As you can see, the goal wasn’t as much a beauty but it was a great team goal. Dani Alves put up a rather ordinary cross and as it trickled into the box, […]

Lionel Messi is one of (if not the) best player(s) in the world of soccer. He also happens to be world famous off the pitch as well, so perhaps taking selfies and pictures while walking down the street or with fans isn’t abnormal.

0 comments by

It’s no secret that women’s soccer gets some very sexist stereotypes thrown at those involved in the sport. These stereotypes surface the most during the Women’s World Cup.

Teams practice corner kicks to an almost endless degree. Who makes what run, which person takes what style of corner kick…etc. Rarely does one get drawn up and executed as good as Mexico just did on Monday night.
