It was an honour to interview Christine Sinclair during a huge year for women's football in Canada.

"I have not touched a soccer ball since my last game in Portland and I am A-OK with it."

The Club World Cup should be great.

A mishmash of cultures, rare matchups, and more money for football outside of Europe.

That's officially enough with "Freed From Desire" now. It's too much. FIFA seeming to use it as a Club World Cup anthem during that tedious draw should kill it.

Fans of English clubs could learn so much from the Germans about protests in football.
Bayern fans' boycott of the Shakhtar in Gelsenkirchen has been successful.

They were being charged €105 for seats and €52 for standing (Far more than for games against Atalanta and YBB).

36,000 fans cancelled ticket requests and the prices have now been reduced. €45 and €26 respectively.
