It’s not about the cold… it’s about the small crowd size.

Southampton thought they were heading for a memorable win at Old Trafford...

But a 12 minute hat-trick from Amad means Ruben Amorim's team take the three points.

Ohio State’s $20 million roster is proving to be worth it The Buckeyes enter Friday’s Cotton Bowl as favorites to win the College Football Playoff. A sophisticated NIL operation helped them get here.

Welcome!

Good for Brian Gutierrez!

“Gutiérrez is the latest homegrown standout for the Chicago Fire, able to play in attacking midfield or on either wing.

The 21-year-old supplanted Xherdan Shaqiri in 2023 as the team’s No. 10 and provided an immediate upgrade. “

Very happy for him. I’ve always thought him one of the few sparks of talent among years of Fire mediocrity. I’d like him to have the opportunity to play alongside good teammates and talented coaches.
