For example, the FIFA World Cup 2022 started in Qatar’s Al Bayt Stadium on November 21, 2022 – a first for the Middle East and a tournament that packed excitement into every match. If you’re into the nitty‑gritty of the game, check out the post that clears up the myth around the D/L method – turns out it belongs to cricket, not football.

Ball lovers often wonder how much air a size‑5 soccer ball should hold. The answer is simple: aim for 8.7 to 11.6 pounds of pressure. Too little and the ball feels dead; too much and it can pop. A quick press on a standard pump will get you the sweet spot, and you’ll notice the difference the next time you try a bend‑like‑Beckham shot.

Fans of the MLS are buzzing about how their league stacks up against European powerhouses. While European clubs still have deeper pockets and longer histories, MLS is closing the gap fast, attracting global talent and expanding stadiums. It’s a rivalry that’s getting more interesting each season.
