Xherdan Shaqiri Surprises Youth Players Dressed Up as an Elderly Man

Always be wary of the old guy with mad skill.  Swiss star Xherdan Shaqiri played an awesome trick on some youthful footballers, and all it took was a fake beard and some grandpa clothes.  He showed up at the SC Kriens training ground and trained with some of the club’s top youth players, and he turned heads with an array of silky moves typically not associated with a man of Shaqiri‘s... 

Ghana Are Very Upset That Their Kit Manager Was Called a Ball Boy

Be mindful with those titles of backroom staff.  It could cost you.  Ghana endured an awfully bizarre World Cup last summer, but while the 2014 World Cup Commission report is still investigating the entire circumstances, Ghana would like to make one thing abundantly clear: Under no circumstances is the kit manager to be referred to as a ball boy.  The Ghanaian Football Association sent...

James Rodriguez Makes Young Colombia Fan Cry After Awesome Gesture

James Rodriguez is rapidly becoming one of the world’s most popular footballers, and with gestures like these, it’s not hard to see why.  While he is undoubtedly talented, a video from Copa America as Colombia’s bus arrived at the stadium reinforces that the Real Madrid man is as good off the pitch as he is on it.  As Los Cafeteros filed off, James spotted a young fan... 

Brazilian Legend Rivaldo Contemplates Comeback with Mogi Mirim

Could we see the return of a Brazilian legend to the pitch? It could be so.  Rivaldo, 43, is contemplating making a full comeback in order to help the club he presides over, Mogi Mirim, escape the relegation zone of Brazil’s second tier of football.  The World Cup winner says he still trains with the club regularly but doesn’t plan on being a full-time player or anything of that... 

Jamaica’s Deshorn Brown Grabs a Selfie with Lionel Messi After Defeat
