And can we have a moment of appreciation for van de Ven's goal last night! I love seeing a centre half rampage forward like that

It was fantastic to watch. He's actually Spurs' leading goalscorer so far!

Eerily reminiscent of Son Heung-min's own rampaging goal against Burnley a few years ago. They both even started in almost the same spot on the pitch.

See Fifa have invented a Peace Prize which will be announced at the draw for the Football World Cup

Can't think who's going to be awarded that for the life of me

Anyone watch women's soccer? NWSL playoffs, no one was at the Orlando game last night (and they're the defending champions) but today's game in Washington is packed. Just the difference between markets? Or a Friday night vs. Saturday day?

Crowds are improving in the UK. Recent had an England international at Pride Park in Derby and 30 thousand there.

I didn't know where else to post this.
UW Female Soccer goalie Mia Hamant passed away today age 21 after battling a rare and aggressive form of kidney cancer that was diagnosed back in May.

His orangeness again threatened to move the World Cup Finals out of Seattle if the city doesn't do something about the rampant violence that has overtaken the streets.

Well played, Scotland. Well played!

still can not believe that next year is the 2026 world cup in canada usa and mexico

Wonder where it will finish if the US get knocked out in the 1st round and the giant man baby finds a reason to cancel any further fixtures in his country.

And a Premier league player is sent off for hitting his own teammate for the first time in 17 years! Despite playing most of the game with 10 men Everton beat Man Utd 1-0 and Amorim refuses, yet again, to change formation frankly giving Everton an easier ride than they should have had!

One wonders. Would FIFA have been so lenient if it was pretty much any other player
