This Greek Goal Line Defense Makes 300 Look Weak

It was only two weeks ago when we were treated to one of the most astounding open goal misses in the history of football over in Serbia. The gift of giving to helpless defenses seems to be in the air this holiday season as a Greek fourth division match has offered up its own tragic epic. 

Polish Side Unleash A Free Kick Routine To Rule Them All

When I was a young lad my youth soccer team had a throw-in routine that we labelled “Pikachu”, much to the embarrassment of our coach. The player taking the throw-in would gleefully scream out the play over and over, and we’d get giddy as all hell at the opportunity to execute.

The Tender Loving Shown To This Injured Seagull Will Light Your Fire

According to the Guardian, there have been a number of instances when substitutes have been sent off without having ever played a second in the match.

It’s Time For America To Reclaim Football From The NFL

You’ll likely be aware that the great majority of people on this planet refer to the beautiful game, that noblest of sports, not as soccer, but football. You’re also probably up to speed on the fact that soccer is in fact a long-since-abandoned piece of British slang, principally used by public (read: posh) school boys in 19th century England to distinguish football from their true love: rugby.
