Tim Cahill Punts A 45-Yard Screamer Because He's A Bad Man

Tim Cahill can’t stop, and he won’t stop. The 36-year-old returned to his native Australia to finish his career, but it looks as if he’s only just getting started. 

His storied career includes successful stints with Millwall, Everton and the New York Red Bulls, and his return to Australia with Melbourne City has been one of the major talking points of the new A-League season.

Cahill has collected 94 caps and 48 goals for Australia, including clutch 2018 FIFA World Cup qualifying goals against Jordan and the United Arab Emirates.

Watch This Goalie In The UAE Kick A Guy In The Back

This incident took place in the UAE Gulf League, and the keeper in question is named Ali Saqr.

The thing that I don't understand here is the keeper got the ball out of bounds. He was in a bad situation and comported himself well. The opposing winger didn't score. The keeper should be happy. Instead, he is mad, very mad, and fighting like Homer Simpson.

Here's a snippet of dialogue from an episode of The Simpsons titled "Brother from the Same Planet":

Watch This Goalie Score From A Punt In The Most Agonizing Way Possible

This poor kid from North Korea experiences enough tragedy and woe and heartbreak in this 42-second video to fill a Russian novel. Let's trace his journey.

First, the goalie appears. Then the ball appears. The ball is nowhere near the goalie. This confuses him and he starts running for the ball. But then he hesitates. Is this really what he wants? To get the ball? Or is it already too late. No, he decides. It's not too late. Besides, Kim Jong Un will probably be mad at me if I don't try hard, he reasons. You know how Kim Jon Un gets.

Barca's U12 Team Scores With A Display Of Sportsmanship That Will Melt Your Heart

In an event that’s hardly newsworthy, Barcelona’s academy is great. They’re so great that they’ve just won the Junior Soccer World Challenge. What’s newsworthy about this match isn't the talent of Barca's U12 team, it's the reaction from their kids towards their extremely distraught opponents.

You can tell what it meant to the Japanese youth side Omiya Ardija Junior to play against Barcelona. They obviously watch a lot of the Barcelona senior side, and the chance to play and defeat their U12s was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for the boys.

Semi-Pro Side Score Huge Cup Upset With 45-Yard Extra-Time Winner

Semi-professional club Green Gully completed one of the biggest upsets in the history of Australian soccer by defeating A-League side Central Coast Mariners in the FFA Cup — the country’s relatively new domestic knockout competition.

A tiered football league system is almost nonexistent in Australia. A-League clubs, of which there are 10, have no worry of relegation while lower division sides are typically semi-professional outfits. In the three-year history of the FFA Cup, A-League clubs had only been defeated by lower-league teams on one occasion.

USA U-19 Team Fights Bahrain U-20s After Cheap Shot

How mad would you be if you were bounced from a major international tournament by the likes of Bahrain? Let's ask the USA men's U-19 team, which lost 3-1 to Bahrain in the COTIF tournament, ensuring their exit from the competition.

Well that escalated quickly. They appear to not be psyched about it. (The USA is in the dark-colored jerseys and Bahrain in the white, by the way.)

Watching Portugal Smash 14 Incredible Goals Past China Is The Best Way To Spend Your Sunday

I can see it now, the invitation letter fluttering down the chimney a la Hogwarts and gently nestling at the feet of former Canadian player turned China national beach soccer coach Ross Ongaro. 

Dear Mr. Ongaro,

We are pleased to inform you that you have a place at the 2016 Beach Soccer Worldwide Mundialito. You’ll play Portugal, Brazil, and the United States of America. This is not a joke. Best of luck, lads!

This Video Proves Why You Should Never Let A Giant Lizard Take A Penalty

A giant lizard took a penalty against a dolphin before a Japanese J League match. We have no idea why this happened, but we do know that, in the event of a penalty shootout, any giant lizards should not be among your five takers.

This penalty was a disaster, and not the kind Godzilla usually perpetuates. He swung at it with his tail and missed because he is not super coordinated with the whole spinning thing. 

Warning, Graphic Content: Demba Ba Suffers Gruesome Leg Break

Former Chelsea and Newcastle United striker Demba Ba has suffered a horrific leg injury while playing with Shanghai Shenhua in the Chinese Super League. The Senegalese striker transferred from Turkish club Besiktas to Shanghai last summer for £11.3 million and is currently leading the CSL with 14 goals in 18 matches. 

However, Ba’s career now appears to be in jeopardy after he suffered a gruesome injury following a challenge in a derby match between Shanghai Shenhua and Shanghai SIPG on Sunday. 

The following video is certainly not for the faint of heart.
