Some weird stuff goes down in Russia. And this latest news is no exception.
Russian super fans of Spartak Moscow and Dynamo Moscow partake in a tradition unlike any other - and no we’re not talking about a Russian Masters. The two groups of fans meet before their teams play and fight for three minutes. The location is set on a completely abandoned snowy road.
Juventus plays Empoli this weekend as they try to keep pace with Roma atop the Serie A table. But it's also Halloween and the players of Juve don’t want to miss out on the fun just because they have a game.
So, players Leonardo Bonucci, Claudio Marchisio, Simone Padoin and Marco Storari participated in a little target practice at training. This was pretty low-key compared to their antics last year. After the video check out the photos that were posted on Juventus.com last Halloween.
It seems like Juve are the best team to celebrate the holiday with.
Hachim Mastour is only 16. He was signed by AC Milan at the tender age of 14 for a sum of 500,000 Euros and a year later he dazzled everyone with his superb performance for the Primavera squad in Milan’s youth circuit. Mastour was born in Italy to Moroccan parents and has the tools to be as great as the Neymars, Messis and Ronaldos of the world.

What do you get when you take an American girl from South Carolina with Scottish parents and give her a soccer ball? You get one of the best freestylers that The18 has ever seen.
Take a look at world freestyle soccer champion, Indi Cowie:
The Chelsea women entered the final match day of the Women’s Super League with a two point lead on Birmingham, but come day's end it was Liverpool who finished atop the table.
The hero was Toni Duggan, a Liverpool native who scored the deciding goal en route to a Manchester City 2-1 victory over Chelsea. Duggan controlled a cross beautifully off of her chest before blasting a volley into the far side of the net.
Ronaldinho kicked balls at people's heads as they tried to run across his pool.
Pele is a legend. There is no disputing this, regardless of whether or not you think he is the greatest player of all time.
Sporting legends, however, usually have to deal with a much lower degree of hear-say in the chronicling of their career. The story of Pele’s life will never change by word-of-mouth as much as, say, Beowulf’s, but as this next video will show, that doesn’t mean that the soccer star’s storied career is not with out its fair share of, well, stories.
There's perhaps nothing more satisfying (or heartbreaking, depending which side of the goal you're on) than the last-minute goal in futbol. It's actually amazing how often those last few minutes of extra time yield the game winner or equalizer. It's as if during that several minute stretch, the laws of physics and normal match play no longer apply, and free kicks fly further, corners magically find their way to the head or foot of players in mid-air, and entire stadiums hold their breath - waiting to exhale in either celebration or utter defeat.
