Carlos Acevedo: 5 parecidos razonables ahora que se dejó bigote y barba

Más allá de un par de remates que salieron raspando los postes y una polemiquita por un penal que no fue, el partido de ida de los cuartos de final entre Santos Laguna y Monterrey fue bastante pobre, tal como lo reflejó el 0-0 final. 

Sin embargo, en medio de los bostezos, el retorno de Carlos Acevedo a la portería de los Guerreros – tras superar una molestia en su hombro derecho – capturó la atención de los aficionados. Y no necesariamente por su rendimiento, sino que por su nuevo look de bigote y barba.

These tiny shin guards are ‘the smallest pads on the market’

Here at The18, we don't condone small shin guards (the tibia is more exposed than Leeds United's backline), but we certainly enjoy the roguish wild cards who risk it all in the name of comfort.

Pitch invader disrupts Finnish Cup match with wheelie bad behavior

Some fans really need to get a grip! A recent Finnish Cup match between Jalkaranta Palloseura and KJP had to pump the breaks after one supporter (actually one of the player's relatives) caused a chain reaction by taking things to a whole different gear.

It's a classic case of small child on a push bike charging around the box like Teemu Pukki.

Watch: Napoli fans bag some of Udinese’s field and more wild celebrations from Naples

Thursday night in Italy was a wild one that saw Napoli fans taking Udinese grass from the Dacia Arena, fireworks that lit up the entire night sky, a boat on the road and plenty more celebrations.

Napoli were crowned Serie A champions on Thursday for the first time in 33 years after drawing with Udinese 1-1. The last time the Italian club had won it all was with Diego Maradona in 1990.

When you got to go you got to go — Stuttgart player leaves game in search of a toilet

What happens when professional athletes need to go? It’s a rare occurrence, but sometimes a player simply can’t hold it anymore and must go.

This was the case for Stuttgart’s Waldemar Anton on Wednesday during the DFB-Pokal semifinal against Eintracht Frankfurt. In the 63rd minute the defender went down without any contact and made the signal to the coaching staff that he needed to be substituted off.

Rather than heading to the bench, Anton made a beeline for the tunnel.

An open letter to Chelsea fans: Are you guys OK?

Dearest Chelsea fandom,

I hope this letter finds you well, however I seriously doubt it. I trust that you witnessed yet another pathetic performance from your club on Tuesday as the once mighty Blues lost their sixth game in-a-row.

There's a man with a chainsaw in the stadium and we're not in Portland

Things got a little out of hand during a recent CAF Champions League quarterfinal between Espérance and JS Kabylie in Tunisia. The match experienced a 40-minute delay to the second half after fans clashed with security forces around the stadium, and firefighters were required to put out several small fires in the stands.

Also, a storage room was looted and some of the equipment was later seen being used in the riots, including a chainsaw. According to Reuters, the chainsaw-wielding man has since been arrested.
