Your favorite compilation of soccer-centric web wonders has returned.
NYCFC might be out of season but there’s still been plenty going on across the globe, so let’s get to it!
Ronaldinho Golazo
Ronaldinho could be filmed sneezing and we’d still find a way to work him into Trending… a goal from the halfway line in a friendly and his name is going in the headline.

Spot Kick King
All hail Paul Verhaegh of German side VFL Wolfsburg – might take a while for this record to be beaten…

Ice cold.

We thought we brought you the miss of the millennium two weeks ago. We were wrong…
MLS Cup
Toronto FC were crowned MLS Champions on Saturday, courtesy of a 1-0 win over the Seattle Sounders.
We suspect USMNT forward Jozy Altidore enjoyed the celebrations…
That’s all for this week’s Trending – if you spot anything worthy of these pages in the next seven days, send it to @markbooth_nycfc on Twitter.
