Messi Proved The Hype Was Real When He Scored A Hat Trick Against Real Madrid At 19

Sure, people love to say, “we are watching a passing of the guard,” but even if they are correct, it still takes months, sometimes years to complete.

In it we watch Messi score a hat-trick against Real Madrid at the age of 19, a performance that showed the world that the hype was real.

Alex Morgan Scores Neymar - esque Goal Against Germany

The inaugural SheBelieves Cup final that featured the USWNT and Germany's women's national team lived up to the hype. With other powerhouse national teams like France and England, the SheBelieves Cup was a great success for all. Last night, Alex Morgan scored a goal very similar to one of the Neymar's best goals in recent years. Morgan took a bouncing long ball, flicked it over a defender and calmly volleyed it into net in front of a charging German keeper. The 34th minute equalizer was a thing of beauty and the USWNT would go on to win 2 - 1.

Mired in League 2 following severe debt and multiple bouts with the administration, things are finally looking up for the largest fan-owned football club in England.

The 43rd minute goal put Portsmouth up 3 - 0 going into halftime and would go on to win 3 - 1. 

He Faced Three Shots From 5 Feet Away. His Superhuman Saves Stopped Them All

Let’s just get something straight, the goalkeeper you are about to watch had no right to save any of these shots. If the strikers he was facing had put the ball anywhere pretty much anywhere except where they put them, they would have scored. But they didn’t, and now I can calmly say that the world just might be a better place for it. Close range tap in goals are a dime a dozen, but three superhuman saves in a row? That’s something worth writing about. 

Cristiano Ronaldo Scores Swerving Strike from 30 Yards Out

Cristiano Ronaldo broke a few records today and Spanish giants, Los Blancos crushed Celta de Vigo 7 - 1.
