Next time you find yourself refereeing a soccer game in Chile, remind yourself that punishment for
a bad foul usually includes a red card, but not a punch in the face. Believe it or not, a Chilean
referee thought there would be no repercussions when he decided to punch the player he had just
sent [..
Lionel Messi has been compared to some of the greatest in the world. He is considered to be one of
today's top players but few have seen him before Barcelona's youth program. This clip of one of his
game's from when he was just five years old show's his true talent. Quick and swift, there's [...]
Check out this awesome goal from from Jun Suzuki of J-League 2 side Avispa Fukuoka. The wicked
curling strike from a corner kick catches everyone by surprise, especially the opposing goalkeeper.
Now collecting votes for goal of the year, this absolute wonder strike by 18 year old Danny Rose of
Tottenham. Making the goal even more amazing is that it was only 9 minutes into Rose's first ever
Premier League game. Take a look at Rose's opener against Arsenal, which led to a 2-1 victory by
[...]

In case you missed it during the World Cup, Germany standout Mesut Ozil showed he is a man of many
talents. During warm ups in South Africa Ozil proved that he can juggle more than a soccer ball, as
he gracefully (or not so gracefully) kept his piece of gum afloat with his feet and [...]
Looks like this time the buzz surrounding Brazilian teen Neymar was for a bit more embarrassing
reason than usually. In his most recent match playing for Santos of Brazil, Neymar took off on
another step-over filled run when an evil defender decided enough was enough and tackled his shorts
off. Well, in reality it does [.
This weekend Real Madrid played and beat city rivals Atletico with a final score of 2-0. The
two early goals gave Real Madrid a nice cushioned lead, allowing players like Cristiano Ronaldo
to play around with the ball a little. Ronaldo gave his teammate a nice pass in front of
Atletico's goal using his back.
We've seen a lot of clips showing goalkeepers celebrating too early after thinking they've blocked
a shot, but we haven't seen many videos of them scoring on their own goal lately. Luckily we have a
hilarious video of a goalkeeper punting the ball out of the box and pouding it into his
teammate's head.
Israeli international Eran Zahavi's reputation received a huge boost this week. During the Europa
League qualification match against Lyon, Zahavi performed an acrobatic bicycle kick that flew past
Lyon keeper Hugo Lloris, putting Hapoel Tel Aviv up 2-1. Zehavi has been building a reputation for
himself as a player for the big occasion, who has [.
Brilliant goals don't come around too often, especially in Turkey. Sunday's match between
Gaziantepspor and Kayserispor brought an unusual spectacle to the city of Gaziantep. The hosts lead
early on, finishing with a 2-0 win. But it was the opening goal of the game scored by little known
30-year-old Brazilian Julio Cesar that was so [.

A little while back we debuted the official World Cup theme song entitled "Waka Waka" by Shakira.
While we had the audio at the time, the video was an just a highlight reel of World Cup action.
With the World Cup opening ceremony just hours away, the official music video for "Waka Waka" has
been released [.
.....we are still in shock over this absolutely astonishing miss by Nigerian Striker Yakubu.
Standing alone a few yards in front of the net, he some way, some how managed to fire wide and send
his Super Eagles home with an early exit from the World Cup.
Remember Nike's "Lace Up, Save Lives" campaign from a while back? Well it's back, as Nike has
released a new promo video featuring Didier Drogba urging soccer players around the world to join
to fight to eradicate AIDS in Africa. Click on the video image above to watch the video on our
brand new YouTube channel [.

talents. During warm ups in South Africa Ozil proved that he can juggle more than a soccer ball, as
he gracefully (or not so gracefully) kept his piece of gum afloat with his feet and [...]
Wow, what can we say about this one? This has got to be hands down the most creative, well thought
out and executed goal celebration of all time. Everyone involved was on point from the wiggling
fish guy, to the angler reeling him in and the crew waiting to take a picture with the prized [...]
The soccer field seems to be a very dangerous place...
It looks as though our good friends at Icelandic soccer club Stjarnana have once again out done
themselves. Already internationally known for their straight up ridiculous goal celebrations
including the fisherman and Rambo, the blonde haired showmen gave us another post goal treat
recently when they unveiled their latest show piece, 'The Human Toilet'.
Recently, there has been coverage on a few awesome backheel goals. Weeks ago Edmar had a nice
backheel goal off of a corner kick in a Europa League game. Spectators and those who watched the
unbelievable goal online were quick to proclaim this backheel goal as the best one yet. Someone
may have scored an even better [.
There's always an element of surprise when a goalie scores in open play. It's unexpected and almost
always due to pure luck, granted they were in the right place at the right time. Lucky or not,
Columbus Crew keeper William Hesmer has entered the books as the second goalie in MLS history to
score a [.
Arsenal's Robin Van Persie is known for his goals almost as much as his injury curse. An amazing
player on the field, his career has been filled with nearly every possible injury. Now it seems
that this "curse" also rubs off on the people around him. After showing a group of children around
the newly-named [.
After the L.A. Galaxy was defeated by FC Dallas on Sunday, 3-0, their hopes at playing in the MLS
final quickly disappeared. Galaxy's David Beckham didn't back down without a fight though. Soon
after Marvin Chavez scored Dallas' third goal in the 72nd minute, Beckham went straight to the
ref to argue Chavez was offsides.
Zlatan Ibrahimovic has made it into the headlines once again thanks to his amazing Taekwondo
skills. Just a few weeks ago, AC Milan training had to be canceled due to a scuffle with teammate
Oguchi Onyewu. More recently, he showcased one of his infamous high flying kicks during Robinho's
goal celebration, almost taking him out.
Somewhat of a comical find, Saturday's Belgian league match between Germinal Beerschot vs. Standard
Liege shines the spotlight on a field that might really need somewhat of a face lift, or at least
some extra grass. Germinal Beerschot's Faris Haroun had his shot stopped by the diabolical mud, a
goal that could have given the [.
"This jersey is history. Everything we suffer for, fight for, dream of, feel and live for...
Everything that unites us can only come from within, deep down within. The new official Spanish
Federation jersey. It comes from within." adidas campaign for the new Spain kit is anything but
ordinary. Debuted yesterday in the Portugal friendly, [.
So here we have another video showing us a goalkeeper trying to stop a shot on goal. The obvious
problem I see here is that the keeper is no where near the ball. Even though he's a few feet away,
he still throws his hands in the air to try and prevent the goal. [...]
The Colorado Rapids faced off with FC Dallas in the 2010 MLS Cup final. Unfortunately for Dallas,
Colorado was able to pull away with the win after a Dallas defender reflected a weak Colorado shot
into his own goal. What makes it an even bigger heartbreak is that the own goal happened in the
107th minute [.
The highly anticipated game between Real Madrid and Barcelona, also known as El Clasico, has come
and gone. At Camp Nou stadium 98,255 people witnessed Barca dominate the game with a 5-0 win
over their rivals. Real's uphill battle with Barca started within the first 20 minutes of the match
thanks to two goals from Xavi [.
Sometimes it takes so long to finally put the ball in the net. It takes time and work to score a
great goal, so the celebrations afterward are usually filled with emotion and creativity. It seems
like goal celebrations are turning dangerous, though. Bari's Francesco Caputo, for example, began
to victoriously punch the air after [.
It seems that everyday we find more players deliberately hurting others, leaving their opponents
out for the season without so much as a warning. Monday night in Germany saw Bochum win 1-0 in
Union Berlin in a second tier encounter. But the victory was scarred by a horrific leg break to the
visitors' Matias Concha, [.
Mention the name Rene Higuati and the first thing that will come to most people's mind is the
legendary save he made in 1995. For anyone in need of reminder; playing for his Colombian
national team against England at Wembley, the legendary South American goalkeeper made football
folklore when he pulled off his unique and [.
On Tuesday night, Zidane helped spearhead the "Match Against Poverty" and the football genius
entertained the crowd with some lovely skills. Zinedine Zidane and Ronaldo pooled together a
star-studded group of football legends for a United Nations charity match in Greece on Tuesday
aimed at fighting world poverty.
A star in the making, young Benjamin Agüero is set to fill big shoes. With Maradona as his
grandfather and Atletico Madrid's Kun Agüero as his father, this kid won the lottery in the
footballing genetic pool. Showing off his powerful kick and brilliant control at his miniature
status, he's got all the makings of [.
