Someone behind the scenes working on Manchester United's official Facebook app was trigger happy this morning when he or she uploaded this page (pictured above) that welcomes David Moyes as the new manager of Manchester United.

In addition to that, the official FIFA Twitter account posted a tweet to announce that David Moyes has officially been announced as the new manager of Manchester United.

Following up on last week's announcement of FIFA 14′s new features, I'm always excited when the next iteration of the FIFA video game series is being released. For video gamers in North America, the release date for FIFA 14 is reportedly September 24.

It's already been mentioned that most of the on-field changes focus on the build-up play in midfield, which should take away some of the 'arcadey' style play that has been one of the biggest criticisms that has plagued the game for years.

Electronic Arts today unveiled the new features of its FIFA 14 video game, which will be released later this year.

New features include the ability to build play through midfield, dictate the tempo of a match and create rewarding opportunities.

Here's a video that goes into more detail:

Specifically, the new features in FIFA 14 are:

Pure Shot Players will alter their stride pattern/angle of approach to maximize their chances of hitting the back of the net.

The U.S. Men's National Team didn't play any games in April, which might be why the team managed to slip a place in the latest FIFA World Rankings.

The U.S. dropped one spot to No. 29, a dip precipitated by a three-spot climb from Nigeria, which was still receiving a boost from its African Cup of Nations triumph earlier in the year.

When a report into alleged fraud and financial malcontent was released on April 19, former CONCACAF General Secretary Chuck Blazer likely knew that his days in FIFA were numbered.

In a move that could be seen from a mile away, FIFA's Ethics Committee chairman Hans-Joachim Eckert announced that Chuck Blazer had been banned from taking part in any national or international soccer activities for a maximum period of 90 days.

The last time we checked in Sepp Blatter and associates, Sepp was jetting off to the Caribbean, while the rest of the world sat wringing it's hands in nervous anticipation of Brazil meeting stadium deadlines for next year's World Cup. But before Sepp catches a flight back to Zurich, he might want to stop for a chat with the fine folks from the CONCACAF region.

Sunil Gulati already had his share of clout in the soccer world, but after Friday's vote to select a new FIFA Executive Committee representative from North America, Gulati is that much more powerful.

The U.S. Soccer President can now add FIFA ExCo member to his title after edging out Mexican Soccer Federation president Justino Compean by the narrowest of margins.

Sunil Gulati, the current president of the United States Soccer Federation (USSF), has been elected to the FIFA Executive Committee after an extremely narrow margin. Gulati won the vote 18-17, defeating runner-up FMF PresidentJustino Compean, of Mexico.

Chuck Blazer previously held the CONCACAF seat on the FIFA Executive Committee, one in which he had for 17 years.

Following his resignation from his position as Security Minister of Trinidad and Tobago, former CONCACAF President Jack Warner spoke live on national television on Thursday, defending his actions during his time as president of the region's soccer authority, as well as any claims that he committed fraud.

Manchester United now have control of title #20 thanks to a brilliant offensive performance from their #20.

Robin van Persie netted a hat trick in the opening 33 minutes of United's Premier League-clinching 3-0 win over Aston Villa. The win moved United sixteen points clear of rivals and defending league champions Manchester City with five matches left in the 2012-13 campaign.

Hang on to your hats folks, this one is about to get interesting.

U.S. Men's National Team head coach Jurgen Klinsmann has called in 26 playersto begin training camp in Cleveland in advance of the five-game stretch in May and June that includes three FIFA World Cup Qualifiers and the Centennial Celebration Match against Germany.

Sepp:Bitch got fraped (or whatever the Twitter equivalent is...twaped?)

Last night a series of Tweets were posted on Sepp Blatter's official account which "announced" that the FIFA president accepted money from the Qatari royal family in return for World Cup hosting privileges.
