Lieke Martens Scores Absolutely Ridiculous Backheel Nutmeg Goal
It was a great day for Lieke Martens and the Netherlands. Faced with a difficult match against former World Cup winner Japan, the Dutch Lions needed a moment of inspiration to break down Japan’s normally resolute defending.
In the 17th minute, the Netherlands won a corner, and the delivery was met with a moment of magic. We've seen some great goals in this competition so far, and this goal is certainly up there.
WHAT. A. GOAL!

England Opens The Scoring Against Cameroon With The Greatest Play In Sports — The Indirect Free Kick In The Box
The opening goal from today’s Women’s World Cup Round of 16 match between England and Cameroon was an epic tale involving back passes, indirect free kicks and saliva. Yeah, that kind of goal.
The story begins in the 12th minute, when Cameroon’s Augustine Ejangue cushioned a cross straight towards her own goalkeeper. Instead of clearing it, Annette Ngo Ndom picked it up, putting Cameroon in violation of the back-pass rule.
You Need To See What Christian Pulisic Did To Trinidad And Tobago Last Night
It’s been a vengeful week for U.S. Soccer. Last night at FirstEnergy Stadium in Cleveland, the USMNT romped to a 6-0 victory over Trinidad and Tobago, exacting a small fraction of revenge for that frightful night in Couva. The win came only two days after the USWNT had vanquished its own personal demons by defeating Sweden at the Women’s World Cup.
