The first match of the International Champions Cup has concluded with the LA Galaxy walking away with a 2-1 victory over Club America. Not only was it the first match of the tournament, it was the first appearance for Steven Gerrard at his new Californian club. Seeing him outside of Anfield in a white, blue and yellow shirt was a little hard on the eye and will take more than forty-five minutes to become accustomed to.
Si has estado viendo lo más destacado del fútbol desde el comienzo de YouTube, lo más probable es que hayas visto este gol.
Es un clásico, el tipo de gol que, cuando lo ves por primera vez, te hace comprender que es posible hacer mucho más en el campo de juego de lo que habías pensado.
Fue Clarence Seedorf quien marcó para el Real Madrid contra el Atlético de Madrid en 1997, y puede que sea el gol característico de su carrera.
AC Siena was beating Internazionale Milan 3-2 in 2010. Inter would go on to win the treble that year; beating Barcelona along the way with one of the most classic “Mourinho parks the bus” defensive efforts of all time. Siena, on the other hand, would be relegated. An upset was on hand, but Wesley Sneijder was yet to have his final say.
In the forested training ground of Zenit St. Petersburg lives one of the most powerful strikers in the modern game. Even fellow teammates aren’t safe from his rocket of a leg during practice, and this video shows why.
Striding past three defenders and a shot at the end blew the goalkeeper straight through the back of the net. A quick apology at the end and Hulk is ready to have another go.
In case you missed it, the LA Galaxy slaughtered the Portland Timbers by a commanding scoreline of 5-0 to jump ahead of them in the Western Conference.
Goal three came in the 32nd minute, after Robbie Keane delivered a beautiful feed to Robbie Rogers, who first-timed his shot after rounding from outside left. While increasing an advantage during a league MLS game doesn’t seem that newsworthy, this goal happened on a special night to the right person.
The first 18 games of the Copa America in Chile have passed. Ecuador, Mexico, Jamaica and Venezuela have packed their bags and returned home, while the other eight national teams still fight for their hopes of being crowned champions of South America.
Gary Neville and Jamie Redknapp have one of the greatest jobs in the world. They get to watch, commentate, and debate on soccer.
For them, the game that they love is the gift that keeps on giving. They both had successful careers as players, they are now employed as pundits, and they might even try their hand at coaching if the opportunity arises.
If they do decide to pursue the life of a manager, they will have to hone their eye for talent, and I think that that is the real reason that they have been participating in the Budweiser Dream Goal competition as judges.
The candidates for this year’s Puskas Award for the goal of the year have wasted no time in making their presence known, and even less time in blowing our minds.
Tell me, what first comes to your head when I say, “Back heel chipped goal?”
Personally, I think of a forward facing away from goal who somehow manages to use his heel like a sand wedge and pop the ball over the keeper. This image looks very painful, and leaves me fairly certain that you would have to break your heel in the process of scoring such a goal in order to, you know, actually score it.
Ok, seriously guys, what is happening with the world? The United States was not supposed to be this good, this quickly. Jurgen Klinsmann wasn’t supposed to be finding kids practically off the street — or Straße, in this case — and turn them into world beaters. We shouldn’t have been up 2-1 at any point against Portugal in the World Cup. We shouldn’t have pulled off that ridiculous comeback against the Dutch last Friday.
Kevin Gutierrez looked like a certain world-class footballer as he stroked the ball in off the cross bar at the U20 World Cup.
