Soccer

On Sunday a buddy of mine and I went to a well known downtown watering hole to watch Team USA's World Cup Soccer match with Portugal (They tied 2-2 in case you were wondering). We arrived about 5 minutes before game time and to our surprise was met with the crowd you see above.

Match play in the 2014 FIFA World Cup tournament begins on Thursday, June 12 in Brazil. Though the soccer spectacle is one of the most-widely viewed sporting competitions in the world, some fans still have questions about this incredible event.

Everyone knows you can’t use your hands in soccer, but that’s causing quite a stir in New York City.

In the heat of athletic competition, high school athletes can lose their cool from time to time. That's exactly what happened to one high school soccer player in Utah who decided to knee her opponent right in the face.

There are plenty of sports fan who would love to attack an umpire or an official but most wouldn't go through with it if presented the opportunity. However, one Ukrainian soccer fan attending the Chernomorets/FC Metalist match this week decided to attack a linesman and nearly strangled him to death.
