  • In a massive Champions League final upset, Wolfsburg defeated Megan Rapinoe and Lyon 1-0. The American came off at halftime and didn't seem pleased about her coach's decision.

  • Here's the best Champions League final preview you'll read anywhere. And in British GQ, no less.

  • Fabian Johnson and Hoffenheim are all "heck no, we won't go... through relegation." Then, the club went out and defeated Kaiserslautern 3-1.
  • Disaster for Club Tijuana in the Copa Libertadores as the squad gives up a late equalizer.

    Zac Rigg with the hardest-hitting reporting, finding that Ronaldinho wore turf shoes, not cleats on Tijuana's terrible, horrible, no good turf.

  • You can't spell awesome without DeAndre Yellin. Or at least a few letter from his name, probably. A bit about the phenom: "Yedlin admits that his rapid ascension has come as a bit of a surprise even to him, and that he’s not sure the player he was a year ago would recognize the player he’s become."
