Being able to watch the 2018 Euros introduced me to Eden Hazard. Eden Hazard introduced me to Chelsea Football Club. She's a drama queen, but it was love at first sight.

Not a great start for Erik ten Hag in Germany.

His new-look Leverkusen team took the lead against Hoffenheim then proceeded to lose 2-1 to a team many predict will be fighting relegation this season…

I'm all for him trademarking "Cold Palmer", but he himself said he was introduced to the shiver celebration by his friend & former teammate Morgan Rogers. I've seen it from American basketball players for years. That's not exclusive to him.
Cole Palmer is at war with a French vineyard 🍷

Who are you picking: Château Palmer or Cole Palmer?

Part 2 of a series on Saudi Arabia’s sporting ambitions is about the quality of the football they’re serving up & whether it will ever hit their goals. Some will say “who cares?” That’s OK. But the Saudi Pro League won’t fold as easily as the Chinese Super League.
