Manchester City facing charges for fans booing the UEFA Champions League anthem

0 comments by on 10/22/2015

I know UEFA holds their Champions League anthem in high regard because they make the players all line up before the game and play the anthem as if it’s like a national anthem. So while this is completely absurd to charge someone for expressing free speech, UEFA charging Manchester City for fans booing the UEFA […]

Is there anything Manuel Neuer can’t do? The man can simply do no wrong and when he pulls off saves like this, it has to be self defeating for the opponent because this makes Neuer look unstoppable. Theo Walcott gets his header on target and against any other goalkeeper, Arsenal would be up 1-0. But […]

There are five players said to have scored over 1000 goals in their careers.

What a way to start the Champions League game day. The early game featured Group C action between Galatasaray of the Turkish Süper Lig and FC Astana of the Kazakhstan Premier League.

Champions League proving to be neutral fans dream so far

0 comments by on 9/29/2015

Soccer may not be the same if you don’t have a rooting interest. After all, screaming love for your favorite side and hatred for your rivals is what being a supporter is all about.

There are own goals and then there are those own goals where you think how on earth could anyone possibly allow that to happen? This own goal by Arsenal goalkeeper David Ospina qualifies as one for the latter. For some strange reason, instead of punching the ball out off of this Olympiakos corner, Ospina decides […]

Wow! Just walk off the field Alessandro Florenzi and retire because I don’t think you’re going to do any better than that as a soccer player. The Roma right back simply stunned Barcelona and more specifically, goalkeeper Marc-Andre Ter Stegen with this brilliant long distance shot from the sideline about 50 yards away. Unbelievable! Roma's […]
