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. Taking a selfie with a fellow competitor after a big international match […]

0 comments by

Blame it on the artificial turf, blame it on the location, blame it on the increased investment by many more countries than in previous years but there doesn’t seem to be a good to honest favorite to win the Women’s World Cup.

Brazil in a youth World Cup final is nothing new, but Serbia…that was something 100 percent foreign up until the 2015 edition of the U-20 World Cup. One wouldn’t have blamed the newcomers to a final for clamming up a bit. Instead, Serbia stood tall to the challenge of one of the soccer worlds great […]

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.
