Paris Saint-Germain and Brazil striker Neymar has been branded "the Kim Kardashian of football" by Joey Barton.

Yes, that's right -- Joey Barton: manager of English third-tier club Fleetwood Town, winner of one England cap and a man more known for his exploits off the pitch than anything he did on it during his 15-year professional playing career.

"I think that he is the Kim Kardashian of football," Barton told L'Equipe. "Neymar is not the best player in the world and we saw that again in Russia...

Radamel Falcao is set to be the latest footballer who, through no fault of their own, gains infamy by having a dodgy statue erected in their honour.

Falcao is the subject of a new installation being constructed in his home city of Santa Marta in the northern Colombian department of Magdalena -- a stunning tribute to his sporting endeavours.

The 20-foot statue, created by sculptor Antonio Irisma, has reportedly cost over 10 million pesos ($3,325) and stands pride of place in the centre of the Parque...

As it does each year, the U.K.'s Office for National Statistics (ONS) have released a list of the most popular baby names in England and Wales for 2017.

While not always the best football, the Europa League is, if nothing else, always entertaining. Thursday nights on the continent seem to produce as many bloopers as they do belters, as many howlers as they do highlights, and more than anything just the outright wacky.

That brings us to Thursday's Europa League tie between FC Zurich and AEK Larnaca.

"Boring James Milner" (@BoringMilner) has long been one of the funniest football parody accounts out there, but James Milner's official accounts are starting to give it a run for its money.

Liverpool delighted their supporters by kicking off the Champions League season with a dramatic 3-2 victory over Paris Saint-Germain thanks to a late winner from Roberto Firmino.

However, the night was made all the more special for one young fan in the crowd at Anfield, who flew all the way from Hong Kong with his father to watch the match.

Indeed, the little Red was spotted by ESPN outside the stadium before the game singing his heart out in support of his team and his favourite player, Andrew...
