Reasons Why Soccer Players Swap Their Jerseys
I've been an avid FIFA player for as long as I can remember, and became truly invested in following professional soccer after the 2010 World Cup. Landon Donovan scoring that last-minute goal against Algeria is what converted me to full-time fan status, and I mean, how could it not? I knew most of the rules and understood the tactics and strategies employed (not to brag, but I was pretty good at FIFA), but there was always one aspect I didn't quite know fully.

Most Popular First Dance Wedding Songs of All Time
Weddings are now the talk of the town with the Wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle just being completed. Clichéd as it may be, it is safe to say that love is in the air. While not everyone (okay, anyone) can have a wedding as breathtaking and special as British royalty, it doesn't mean you should slack on yours. I've been to several weddings in the past year or so and what sticks out in my head the most is the receptions, and specifically, the music selection.

Best Football Movies Based on True Stories
There's nothing better than a sports movie. In my humble opinion, they showcase everything great about watching a movie. They usually include an inspiring journey (accompanied by a fun montage with a great song), adversity, teamwork, and overall, perseverance. That certainly is the case with my favorite subcategory of the sporting film industry, football movies based on true stories.
