This Goal Would Earn You A Gold Medal At The X Games

I have no clue what this is. Perugia’s Francesco Nicastro stuck this Christ Air aerial trick while playing a football match I guess. Why did he attempt to mirror the move invented by the great Christian Hosoi? I don’t know. Perhaps we’re seeing the birth of a new period in the sport where skateboarding and football meld together like never before, creating the kind of game that only FIFA Chief Officer for Technical Development Marco van Basten could appreciate.

Moussa Dembele Scored Two Straight Hat Tricks In Scotland

At Celtic, Swedish striker Henrik Larsson was known as the King of Goals.

Call 20-year-old Frenchman Moussa Dembele the Prince.

For the second consecutive week, Dembele, on whom the Hoops have reportedly slapped a £40 million price tag in response to interest from EPL clubs like Chelsea, netted a hat trick, this time against Inverness Caledonian Thistle in a fifth round Scottish Cup tie on Saturday. The haul brings his season total in all competitions to 26.

Here’s goal No. 1:

Fernando Torres Has Scored One Of The Greatest Goals Of All Time

Fernando Torres, now fast approaching 33 years of age, has proven that form is temporary, class is permanent. This is just ridiculous from El Nino. 

Kevin Mohwald Misses The Easiest Shot Ever. But It Becomes A Pirlo-esque Assist.

Kevin Mohwald came as close as he’ll ever be to Andrea Pirlo with this assist for Nurnberg in the German second division. With space and time from eight yards out, Mohwald hits what might’ve been the miss of the season in Germany. Why he’s contorting his body like that and using his foot like a sand wedge we’ll never know, but the effect sends the ball pathetically fluttering sideways. 

Luckily for him, his teammate Abdelhamid Sabiri is there to head it in, and Mohwald doesn’t need to see the club doctor and get evaluated for what the science community refers to as dumb legs.  

Carlos Vela Scores For Sociedad In Match Featuring Two Absolute Golazos

Real Sociedad climbed above Atletico Madrid and into fourth place in La Liga after defeating Espanyol 2-1 on Friday. Carlos Vela’s sixth league goal, his second in two games, and Asier Illarramendi’s wonder strike secured the three points for Sociedad.

Vela opened the scoring in the 26th minute after brilliantly controlling a pass from Inigo Martinez and finishing with composure.

Watch This Defender Get Owned So Hard He Gives Up On Life

There are ownings, and then there are OWNINGS. This video shows an example of the latter, which caused two defenders to completely give up on life.

Juan Cuadrado’s Immaculate Strike Shatters The Foundations Of A Renewed Inter

Scoring too many goals is graceless. In Italy, when a team gets a few goals ahead, an unspoken agreement settles over the pitch; the team in the lead won’t score too many goals and the team behind won’t try too hard to get back into the game. The energy and the pressure eases off and the three points are settled early on.
