Every 4 years, players from all around the world come together to compete for one particular trophy – the World Cup – and we all drop everything to watch them fight for this prize. But how much do we really know about that golden prize?   Here are 10 facts you probably didn’t know about the World Cup trophy.

Show lessKevin De Bruyne is one of the best players in the world, and he has been for years now. Since joining Manchester City in 2015, he has gone on to prove how much of an elite player he is season after season.  He has helped the club win 4 Premier League titles and a bunch of other domestic trophies, also winning a lot of individual awards on the way.  Now, having been named Premier League and PFA Player of the Year twice each, what is left is for him to go on and conquer the world by winning football’s most prestigious individual prize, the Ballon d’Or.  But sadly, it is looking like the Belgian will end his largely successful career without that Golden Ball in his shelf. But why?

So, in a huge way, it means that the entire continent is looking to Haaland, a 21-year-old, to bring home the Champions League for Manchester City. That right there is the type of pressure that cripples even 30-year-olds. We will only have to wait and see if Haaland has the mental capability to withstand all that and still soar.

Cheating appears to be a pretty common thing, and for some reason, it is actually considered normal by many. It's in places of work, personal interactions, and even in romantic relationships. Believe it or not, cheating happens everywhere, literally.   Today, we're going to talk about cheating by footballers. And no, not the one done on the football field like Maradona's "hand of God," but the one done outside it. We're talking about cheating in their romantic relationships. Recently Pique cheated on Shakira.  So here are 6 footballers who cheated on their partners. 

Football is really a game of tiny margins and butterfly effects. Just one decision which might look small and inconsequential at the time could end up changing a whole lot about the future of the entire game. You don’t believe us? All right, come along as we look at 11 transfers that almost happened and could have changed the history of football.

Hey, you guys! Agent Goal 90 is finally back and today we are here to tell you the 1 signing your favourite club has to make going into the new season. We don’t want to be too imaginative, so the recommendations in this video will strictly be for players who are already linked to the clubs.  Are you ready? Here are the new signings that could improve each club next season

You know that thing we always see when a player signs for a club and declares that they have been childhood supporters of that club, yeah? We all know that half the time, it’s a lie, right?  Many of these footballers actually grew up supporting different clubs from the clubs they now play for. And in some cases, not only did they support different clubs, they supported their own clubs’ rival clubs.

Real Madrid just added another really talented youngster to their midfield, and it seems like they are fully prepared for life after Casemiro, Kroos, and Modric. They got Camavinga last year, and this year, they have acquired another French midfield maestro in Aurélien Tchouaméni.  Now, let’s get to know this new Galactico. Here are 10 Things You Didn't Know About Aurélien Tchouaméni.

Most professional footballers get married pretty early. Or at the very least, have kids early. You know, they get into success at pretty young ages and therefore, can very well afford to start a family, so why not?  But there’s a guy who won’t be getting married nor will he be having kids until he’s done with professional football. His name is Son Heung-min, one of the biggest stars in the Premier League.

This is a story about passion. Uuhhmm, okay, it's actually about passion, and also other things like fishes and boats and even nets. The point is, in this video, we talk about a man who went from winning the biggest trophies in club football with Real Madrid to being a fisherman.  Now you might be asking yourself "how did he go from playing with the best footballers in the world to catching fish with old men?" Well, join us to find out how that happened, as we take you through the story of the man. The former Portuguese left-back, Fabio Coentrao.
