July 5 Social Zone: Must-see Gareth Southgate tribute and Man City star makes horror tackle
The whole of England seems to be in love with Gareth Southgate right now, and the Copa America keeps on throwing up fun, although one Manchester City star may have taken it a little too far.
Soccer: Look... Atomic Kitten headlining Social Zone, or anything, on Planet Sport was never the plan, but sometimes you just have to go with it.
Absolute scenes at Boxpark 🙌

Soccer: It certainly has 'been a long time coming, annet', Jordan. Definitely well worth the wait for what seems to be the nicest bloke in the world who isn't called Gareth Southgate, though.

It's time for the #ThreeLions to head back to base – but first, a quick word with @JHenderson (and @Sanchooo10) 😅 pic.twitter.com/IIi6o7H1oX
Soccer: You'd be forgiven for thinking this was the winning penalty in the Copa America shootout, but you'd be wrong. Everton ace Yerry Mina may be the only man to celebrate scoring a penalty shootout goal as if it was a real goal.

Soccer: Do Darlington know something that we don't? And if they do, how did they end up in non-League? This stat throws up many questions.
Wednesday's #Euro2020 semi-final at Wembley will see England and Denmark select goalkeepers who both made their senior football debuts for @Official_Darlo.

Soccer: Soccer is going soft, they say... Manchester City star Gabriel Jesus didn't get the memo.

Soccer: Fair to say that former Aston Villa and Sunderland goalkeeper Thomas Sorensen enjoyed Denmark's win over the Czech Republic.
Sound on. @TSorensen1 at fulltime with Denmark in the semis. He needs some new jeans, and that’s only partly due to the knee slide. @OptusSport pic.twitter.com/iRo2HA9NBq

Soccer: Let's quickly check in with the MLS to see some stuff that you simply wouldn't see in the Premier League...
I don't care how much you say you love MLS. You aren't truly MLS until you propose to your girlfriend after a 2-2 draw with the San Jose Earthquakes. https://t.co/YVQhqloCDd
