These Near Misses Are More Mesmerizing Than The Greatest Goals Ever Scored

A missed opportunity is usually something that haunts you. You don’t want to think about it anymore, and really there is no point; you can’t reverse time and correct mistakes. This video, however, is something different. There’s a kind of wonder to be found in the greatest near misses compiled in it. They say that somethings are better left to the imagination, and I think that applies here in a unexpected way: we don’t know how great these goals would have been had the ball actually gone in, and that allows us to imagine them being something better than perhaps they really would be.

¿Qué tan buenos son los profesionales? Estos ridículos objetivos del campo de entrenamiento te mostrarán

Un viejo adagio futbolístico nos dice que todos los goles cuentan igual. Un obús desde 40 yardas, una rabona desde la esquina o un gol en su propia portería desde el fondo de la defensa, cada uno será recompensado con un único punto. El fútbol no discrimina. A menos que estés en el campo de entrenamiento. En ese caso, los goles en el campo de entrenamiento no cuentan para nada.

Luis Suarez Goals vs Roma

The eyes were on Lionel Messi ahead of Barcelona's Champions League match vs Roma. And of course, La Pulga delivered. Scoring the second of Barcelona's 3 first half goals with a classic chip over the goalkeeper. But the person who continued his perfect form? Lucho Suarez. The Uruguayan not only assisted Messi's goal, but he also gave fans a volley for the ages, when he wound up from just inside the box, and curled a left to right rip past the goalkeeper.

Liverpool Owns Manchester City

If you watched the Liverpool-Manchester City match on Saturday, the one thing you were probably thinking was, "what is going on?" A Kompnay-less Manchester City defense was shredded by Jurgen Klopp's bunch en rout to a 4-1 victory in the Etihad. All of Liverpool's goals vs Manchester City were beauties aside from the own-goal by Mangala. The Brazilian's for Liverpool were who stole the show though. Philipe Coutinho and Roberto Firminho each registered a goal and an assist to one another.

Two Youngsters Were Inserted Into A Dead Game. In 5 Minutes They Both Scored Golazos

Jesus “Tecatito” Corona and Jurgen Damm have been on our radar for quite some time. They are 22 and 23 respectively, and are the future of the Mexican national team; it’s hard to not get excited about them, especially Corona. Against Honduras in a World Cup Qualifier, the young Mexican stars justified our excitement. 

Zlatan Continues To Do Zlatan Things

Are there better goals out there than Zlatan goals? Sure, lots of players score epic golazo's, but Zlatan Ibrahimovic has this flare that is just so....Zlatan. There are three things that are certain in this world. Death, taxes and that Zlatan will do something cool every time he steps on a football pitch. The Swedish star scored two Zlatanesque goals en rout to a 2-0 victory over Denmark and then after the match, the dude said that he sent the entire country of Denmark into retirement. It's Zlatan's world and we are just along for the ride. 

England Goals Vs France

Fans stood with heavy hearts across the globe as England and France took the pitch today for an international friendly to momentarily allow people to take their minds off of the horrid events that occured last Friday in Paris. As red, white and blue lights glowed across the Wembley arch before the match, the old rivals set aside their footballing hate to stand united with one another. Then, it was the Three Lions show. Wayne Rooney and Dele Alli scored two beauties to give England a 2-0 victory over France.

In 1993, The Worst Team In Europe Set The Record For Fastest Goal Ever Scored

The “Most Serene Republic” of San Marino has a population of 32,000. It’s 24 square miles in size; it’s a speck surrounded completely by the nation of Italy. It’s shocking that European football's governing body, UEFA, allowed such a small nation — oh, sorry, an "enclaved microstate" — to be a member nation and field a national soccer team, but they have. You could argue San Marino hasn’t stopped paying for it since.

The Best of Ronaldinho

Was there a more entertaining footballer to watch than Ronaldinho? Sure you could say Messi or Ronaldo, or plenty of other players. But honestly, are they really more exotic or creative on the pitch than Ronaldinho? Do they have that unmistaken flair? I don't think so. Obviously those two players are in a class of their own, and do things on the pitch that no one else can (I have to say this so people don't think I'm taking a knock at Leo or CR7. You know how the internet is). But looking at Dinho, he did it all, and this video shows that. He had speed, strength and finesse.

The Team In Last Place Scored When It Didn’t Matter, And Won Swedish Goal Of The Year

Atvidabers’ season went terribly. They played in the Swedish top flight in 2015. Which is to say that they happened to share the pitch with teams that repeatedly beat them. They finished in last place with only 15 points, 2 wins, and a goal differential of -30. They had a bad time. So you have to imagine how amazing it must have felt for them to not just score a goal, but score the Swedish goal of the year.
