Accrington Stanley scored against Wimbledon right at the end of the first half. But that was the problem. It was the end of the half. The half was over. The referee had blown his whistle.
The referee had blown his whistle literally a moment before the ball crossed the line, nullifying the goal. The Accrington Stanley players were understandably pissed.
Fans in the Santiago Bernabeu stadium may have had to wait, but in the end weren't disappointed by Cristiano Ronldo and Real Madrid's 7-1 victory against Celta Vigo.
It was a quiet first half for Los Blancos, with just a single goal netted by Pepe. After the break, Cristiano Ronaldo appeared on track for a stinker of a game and the crowd grew restless, issuing whistles and catcalls as Ronaldo made another poor pass.
I wouldn’t want anything to do with Canales 2010. Have you heard of “winning the game in the pre-game tunnel?” Well, check out how to win a game without even having to lace up:
Over the course of a 13-year professional career, Jimmy Bullard appeared for 8 different clubs across the English football league system. Due to a contractual misprint, the most lucrative stint of his professional career came during his time with Hull City.
The admiration and mutual respect that Philippe Coutinho and Neymar have for each other’s game is no secret. They’ve been close friends for almost 10 years now, their friendship dating all the way back to the time of embarrassing bathroom selfies, a formative point for anyone in their awkward teenage years.
Dries Mertens is having a fantastic year, and now he can check “perform heartwarming celebration off of his list.” The Belgian winger is currently one of the best attackers in Italy, and while his goal-scoring record (8 in 22 across all competitions) might not not convince you of this, he has played a large roll in putting Napoli at the top of Serie A.
He and his teammates have scored a league leading 45 goals so far. That’s 6 more than the second leading scoring team, Fiorentina, and firmly establishes Napoli as the most potent attack in Italy.
I'm going to come right out and say it: Andy Halliday is a bad person.
The Rangers midfielder scored a goal in Rangers' 2-0 victory over Morton, and then did something so horrible the ref had no choice but to toss Halliday out of the game.
Kobe Bryant se ha retirado, y por mucho que los aficionados al baloncesto lo echen de menos y su deseo incondicional de ganar, ahora todos podemos experimentar lo que me gusta llamar " La vuelta de la victoria de Kobe". La vuelta de la victoria de Kobe vende estadios dondequiera que vaya, porque incluso los fans de sus rivales más odiados todavía quieren ver a la leyenda en acción por última vez.
Samuel Eto'o y yo nos conocimos por primera vez en el FIFA 10. No me avergüenza admitirlo. Yo era nuevo en el juego y él era realmente rápido y sabía definir. Hacíamos la pareja perfecta. Esto fue antes de que empiece a seguir el fútbol profesional con la mirada de alguien que se gana la vida escribiendo sobre el deporte. Poco sabía que Eto'o ya era un futbolista fabuloso en la vida real. No sabía que había estado en Barcelona antes de ganar la trifecta con el Inter. No sabía que había conformado el ataque de Barcelona junto con Lionel Messi y Ronaldinho.
Sunday marks what could be the end of an era, as the NFL sees two of its greatest players face off for likely the final time: Brady vs Manning.
NFL fans around the world should realize how lucky they've been to have watched two of football's greatest players. (The same thing said of David Bowie by Twitter's @JeSuisDean holds true for this rivalry: "If you're ever sad, just remember the world is 4.543 billion years old and you somehow managed to exist at the same time as Brady vs Manning.")
