This Pitch Invader Is A Good Boy. Yes He Is
We wish every pitch invader was like this.
Last Tuesday during a match between Pumas UNAM and Deportivo Tachira FC, a great thing happened. We're not talking about a golazo or a comeback or a fight, we're talking about a pitch invader. And what a good pitch invader he was.
We Recast Game Of Thrones Using The World Of Soccer
This Sunday is the long awaited season premiere of HBO's hit drama Game of Thrones, the epic tale of one land's struggle for power. The thing that makes the show so appealing is how different each character is in the cast, and all the hardships they endure in their lives at every turn due to man or woman's desire for the need to succeed. The cast is full of great characters, some loved, some hated, but all unique in their own right, but when it comes to soccer who is who?
Meet The Captain Who Chugs Beer With Supporters After Victories
Minnesota United FC captain and defender Justin Davis has created one of the most enviable traditions in the world of soccer. Beginning in September of last year, Davis began the custom after scoring the go-ahead goal against Indy Eleven at Minnesota’s National Sports Center.
Sprinting towards the supporters in the Budweiser Beer Garden at the North End of the stadium, Davis began motioning towards revellers in the section and asking for a sip.

The Daily mail made a list of the top 10 worst club badges. Then the fun started. Zenit St. Petersburg, a club that appeared on that list, took issue with their appearance on the list, and instigated the saltiest Twitter beef we've seen so far this calendar year.

This Own Goal In Brazil Is Everything You Could Ever Want In An Own Goal
Brazil, the land of Samba, is the birthplace of the football style known as "Joga Bonito." "Play beautiful." Brazil, supposedly, is where the beautiful game is at its most beautiful.

This Absurd Goal Totally Explains Why PSG Are So Dominant
Over the weekend, Rennes vs Guingamp proved why PSG have basically run away with the Ligue 1 title this year. In case you hadn't noticed, Paris St. Germain have done pretty well in Ligue 1. They are 28 points ahead of second-placed Monaco, which incidentally, is the same amount of points that seperate Manchester United (5th) and Newcastle United (19th) in the Premier League.
This Lunatic Fan Is Aston Villa's Season In A Nutshell
Aston Villa have had a terrible season. They've already been relegated from the Premier League and are as hopeless as a football club can possibly be.
No Villa player has personified this hopelessness as much as Joleon Lescott. The defender tweeted a picture of a cool car immediately following a Villa loss and blamed it on ghosts in his pocket.
And then there was this interview.
Crystal Palace Apparently Signed Karim Benzema Without Anybody Knowing
Having failed to score a single Premier League goal all season, Karim Benzema was apparently left on the bench for Crystal Palace's crucial London derby clash against Arsenal. We were unaware that he had ever signed for the south London club, but hey...shows what we know.
