As if there could even be any other choice for this week’s “Pic of the Week”, making the selection for today’s post was only hard in that I needed to find the picture that best captured the incredible moments before kickoff between Liverpool and Manchester City.

Behold the power of social media: an Instagram that broke several million hearts! This week’s Pic of the Week comes to us from the account of US Women’s National Team star striker Alex Morgan, as she announced her engagement to her boyfriend by means of a modestly filtered, mildly blurred photo. That sound you’re hearing? […]

A warm welcome back to the semi-regular Pic of the Week after a month’s absence on the blog. However, if the picture above makes you feel like you’ve accidentally stumbled into a Monty Python movie, worry not… this week’s picture is actually soccer related. The moose in the picture is actually a forlorn Swedish national team fan, […]

Despite not exactly being a household name in MLS, the San Jose Earthquakes’ retiring Ramiro Corrales (first row, second from right) received a memorable sendoff in his last ever match as a professional footballer. With the Quakes all but eliminated from playoff contention ahead of their season-capping match against FC Dallas, the defender was handed […]
