With the 2019/20 Bundesliga restarting after the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic, we've received several questions from readers on social media and e-mail about how the latest viewing figures compare to other matches. So, based on popular demand, here's the list of the most-watched Bundesliga games on US TV from 2016 through 2020 (English-language TV only). While […]

As Dr. Anthony Fauci said in a recent interview, “[p]ut [athletes] in big hotels, wherever you want to play, keep them very well surveilled and have them tested every week and […]

For some reason, there is a lack of quality fictional literature centered around soccer. As the top 20 soccer books list shows, the overwhelming majority of the best soccer books are nonfiction, and even the best one (The Damned United, don’t @ me) is heavily reliant on an actual event.
