Craziest Fans in World Football
The meaning of the term "crazy" has loosened a bit in recent years, especially when it comes to sports. The same could be said for a lot of words that have been repackaged by the world of athletics. Think about it, sports have rebranded: sick, nasty, filthy, and even disgusting, to refer to players or plays that are tremendous or incredible.

We wouldn't readily look up to the oldest athlete on the team, but they are easily the best role models we may ever get a chance to meet off the pitch, field, or court—wherever your athletics may reside. As for football, or more commonly referred to as soccer, history seamlessly weaves into the fabric of the sport itself, more so than most (besides maybe baseball). This entails that footballers, the players who sidestep and dribble across the pitch in protection of the soccer ball, have somewhat of an airy freedom for their preferred stay within the MLS. From across the ages, the men listed as follows have been as much portraying the value of the sport itself as they have been protecting it.

Mark TurnerPublished 6 years ago in CleatsGreatest World Cup Goals of All Time
It's not easy to score in soccer, let alone one of the most prominent sports championships on the planet. While teams in the NFL's Super Bowl may get off somewhere between one and five touchdowns, a goal in FIFA's World Cup is like catching sight of an anomaly. And don't try to compare it to the 2017 World Series, either. Next to the difficulty of hitting a baseball out of the park, scoring a goal in soccer is the second most difficult task to preform. That's right, in all of sports. This can be backed by sound evidence produced by an astrophysicist and recorded in an NPR article, which was published last June.

Fastest Players in Barcelona History
This isn't the NFL Quarterly Awards; this is FIFA we're talking about; the original football. La Liga's FC Barcelona, otherwise called 'Barca' by most diehard fans, tends to play a variety of different types of on-pitch fieldwork. They've been known to utilize and advance the quickest players in the game over the years, and their program has evolved into a global image with various suitors at the helm. For instance, the modern foot-king for the team is Lionel Messi, an Argentinian forward who is as stoic as he is a God at finesse on the pitch. He can not only play the most advanced defensive posts, but he can also attack with the force of a shotgun, his goals tearing goalies apart each and every try.
