Iraq Hosts Emotional Game In Baghdad For First Time In 9 Years, Wins With Amazing Bicycle Kick

The past decades of war and terror in Iraq have taken a toll on the beautiful game in the country. FIFA has routinely imposed bans on hosting international games in Iraq over security and safety concerns. 

The last non-friendly game played in the country was a World Cup qualifier in 2011. The capital, Baghdad, hadn’t hosted Iraq’s national team for nine years until Friday. The cities of Basra, Karrbalaa and Erbil were the only three hosting games. 

¡Uy, Dolor! Edgar Zaldívar Lo Dio Todo Para Conseguir El Gol Del Empate Del Atlas Ante León

El mediocampista Édgar Zaldívar festejó sus 100 partidos defendiendo el jersey del Atlas, convirtiendo el gol del empate ante León, en un duelo postergado de la jornada 1 del Clausura 2022. 

La alegría de Zaldívar era evidente tras la conquista, pero no sin antes sufrir con una buena dosis de dolor.

La Fiera pegó primero

El duelo fue una reedición de la final del Apertura 2021 y que terminó con una sequía de 70 del Atlas sin títulos.

Uchenna Kanu Puso A Bailar A Tigres Femenil Con Su Primer Gol En Liga MX

141 minutos necesitó Uchenna Kanu en convertir su primer gol con el jersey de Tigres Femenil.

La seleccionada nigeriana es la llamada a reemplazar a la histórica Katty Martínez -hoy en el América- y ante Chivas comenzó a escribir su historia. Además hizo bailar a todo El Volcán con un ritmo infernal.

Gol de Uchenna Kanu

La conquista de Uche con las Amazonas se produjo en el minuto 51. La delantera aprovechó un tiro de esquina y de cabeza batió a Celeste Espino.

Weston McKennie’s Teammates Can’t Keep Their Hands Off His Hair After Latest Goal

Heading into what could be one of the biggest years of his career, Weston McKennie is playing superbly right now. The Juventus midfielder has played every second for the club in 2022, including all 120 minutes in the Supercoppa Italia on Wednesday at the San Siro. Though Inter Milan pulled off a 2-1 comeback to take the trophy, McKennie scored a great goal, after which we saw how much his teammates love him — or at least how much they really want an excuse to touch his gorgeous hair. 

Sierra Leone Keeper’s Man-Of-The-Match Display Brings Tears, Message From President

It’s frustrating when you see countless European coaches, fans and media outlets focusing more on what the Africa Cup of Nations costs than the joy it brings. Yes, some European clubs are without some top players for a little while, but no one complains participation in the Euros or Copa América. For proof of what AFCON means to the continent, look no further than the tears of Mohamed Kamara, the young Sierra Leone keeper who was named Man of the Match after an unlikely 0-0 draw with Algeria on Tuesday.

Gabon’s Boupendza Copies Aubameyang Celebration After AFCON Goal

YAOUNDE — Aaron Boupendza’s strike from a narrow angle sealed a dull 1-0 win for Gabon over Africa Cup of Nations debutants Comoros Islands in their opening Group C clash on Monday.

Gabon, which was missing talisman Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and influential midfielder Mario Lemina due to COVID-19 infections, never looked troubled and scored from one of only a few shots on target at the Stade Ahmadou Ahidjo.

Big Man Adebayo Akinfenwa Crushes His Teammates After Incredible 90+8' Equalizer

Wycombe Wanderers and Sunderland played out a batshit crazy League One match Saturday that saw the two clubs exchange four goals in the opening 39 minutes before each scored in second-half stoppage time to cap a wild 3-3 draw. 

A David Stockdale own goal gave Sunderland the lead in the third minute, but Wycombe responded through Anis Mehmeti in the 13th. The Blues then went ahead through Sam Vokes in the 36th, but the Black Cats equalized only three minutes later thanks to Ross Stewart's goal.

Prolific Striker Scores Last Goal From His Coffin

Week after week, Jaime Escandar proved his talents as a striker in Club Aparición, a small amateur squad in Paine, a town a few miles south of Santiago, Chile. In the words of his teammates, he was a natural. He could score goals with his right foot, with his left foot, with his head. He just scored goals for every taste. 

But last weekend, his goal was a bit different.

Mario Balotelli Celebrates Teammate’s Goal By Kicking Him In The Head

Adana Demirspor extended Galatasaray’s Süper Lig misery with a 2-0 win on Tuesday through two goals from Galatasaray loanee Yunus Akgün. Though Akgün refused to celebrate either of his goals out of respect to his parent club — no easy feat given his second strike — that didn’t stop Mario Balotelli choosing an odd way to celebrate.
