GOAT

So, my latest child theme has nothing to with goats*, but is inspired by the 2018 FIFA World Cup. Sweden is out of the cup, but I have wanted to make a theme for SportsPress for a while and this was good opportunity to try it out. This is a basic theme, but together with the plugin you can set up team and player profiles, present upcoming games, statistics and results.
