Watch: Tecatito And Hector Herrera Scored Bangers For Porto This Weekend

Mexico internationals Jesus "Tecatito" Corona and Hector Herrera have started the season brightly for Portuguese side Porto, as both scored bangers in a 3-1 victory against Rio Ave.

Corona found himself on the correct end of a scissor kick in the box, while Herrera's goal came via a masterful chip of the keeper.

Tony Watt Will Always Drink Free In Glasgow's East End, Even Though He Plays For A Celtic Rival

Striker Tony Watt missed two glorious chances to score for his new team, Heart of Midlothian (Hearts), in the Edinburgh side’s 2-1 loss at home to Celtic on Sunday.

That fact in and of itself would not be all that newsworthy had the player involved not been Watt, and the opponent not been Celtic.

Hector Moreno's PSV season is off to a good start. The Mexico international defender scored the winner in the 52nd minute against AZ Alkmaar Sunday in the Eredivisie.

Borussia Dortmund Are Frighteningly Good, But Bayern Munich Remain Untouchable In Germany

Carlo Ancelotti has already accomplished something that Pep Guardiola was never able to do at Bayern Munich: win the German Super Cup. Guardiola was unsuccessful in three attempts, but Ancelotti has landed an early trophy in his Bayern reign by defeating their Der Klassiker rival Borussia Dortmund 2-0.

Zlatan Has Now Scored In Every Major Debut

After a first half for Manchester United that could be described as "about as anonymous as is possible," Zlatan made good on his track record in major league debuts and scored from 25 yards out. He's now scored in every major league debut: La Liga, Serie A, Ligue 1, Champions League...and Premier League.

Here's his long shot at the 64' that managed to slip past Bournemouth keeper Artur Boruc:

Lionel Messi And Luis Suarez Could Make Head Tennis An Official Olympic Sport

The Barcelona squad put on their own mini Olympic games over preseason, trying out the different sports of the Rio Games. The one that came most naturally to them was a repurposed form of tennis, the one played with the head.

It’s not an official Olympic sport (yet) but watching the skill Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez possess means its only a matter of time. 

Can you imagine an Argentina vs. Uruguay gold medal match featuring Messi and Suarez? Let's get a petition going.

These guys are out of control.

Jermain Defoe's Classy Finish Proves He'll Never Grow Old

In two seasons with Sunderland, Jermain Defoe has managed to save Sunderland from relegation twice. Goals are key to survival, and Defoe consistently provides them from the forward position. He’s been doing so for almost sixteen years — since his Premier League debut with West Ham United during the 2000-01 season.

Defoe’s greatest EPL return was 18 goals during the 2009-10 season. You’d expect, at 33 years of age, that his goalscoring ability would’ve plummeted since then. You’d be wrong.

Soccer’s Greatest Viral Sensation Can’t Stop, Won’t Stop
