Liga MX Manager Pleads For Mercy Mid-Game: ‘Please Stop Scoring Against Us!’

Sunday night's Liga MX game between Pachuca and Tijuana at Estadio Hidalgo brought us 90 minutes full of goals, though mostly by the home team.

The Hidalguenses blew Xolos out of the water with a one-sided 6-1 victory — showing that Pachuca is a strong contender for the Liga MX title and that Tijuana is bound to miss out on the playoffs once again.

Diego Costa Admits To Being ‘Scared To Death’ During Wolves Announcement Video

Diego Costa's reputation as "The Beast" precedes him as he makes his return to the Premier League with Wolverhampton Wanderers but even the imposing striker admitted he was "scared to death" holding wolves on a leash in the club's announcement video.

The 33-year-old, a force to reckon with during his time with Chelsea where he was the club's top scorer every season and won two Premier League titles, signed a one-year deal with Wolves after the club lost their strikers to injuries.

Australian Semi-Pro Team Goes Full Arsenal To Make History And Reach Cup Final

Sydney United 58 FC — a semi-professional club that plays in the third divison — made history Saturday by reaching the Australia Cup final with a dramatic 3-2 extra time victory over the A-League's Brisbane Roar.

In a back and forth affair, Riku Danzaki opened the scoring for Brisbane, but Sydney's Matthew Bilic leveled before halftime. 33-year-old Englishman Charlie Austin restored normality with a 63rd-minute penalty, but Patrick Antelmi kept the "cupset" alive with one in the 71st to knot the match at 2-2.

Preston North End Is Bringing Back The Dead-Ball Era To English Football

The year is 1974. It's mid-February, and after months of intense wear, the pitch at Preston North End's Deepdale Stadium is nothing more than a mud pit. The players slog through ankle-deep sludge as they labor in vain to hoof the water-logged leather sphere up the pitch.

The aim is not to score, rather it's to prevent the opponent from finding the back of the net. It's a cynical way of thinking that has long plagued the English game, thus preventing its tactical advancement.

Chicharito has to stop taking penalties – and not only because of his pathetic Panenka

We all saw it: Chicharito Hernández's last effort from the penalty spot was genuinely embarrassing. He had the chance to secure three points for the LA Galaxy in a very tight race for the playoffs Sunday, but instead, he decided to perform a poor, sad Panenka against SKC seconds before the final whistle.

Goalkeeper Sent Off For Peeing In A Bush During FA Cup Match

Goalkeeper Connor Maseko was sent off for urinating in a hedge during an English FA Cup first-round qualifying match on Saturday.

Maseko, playing for ninth-tier Blackfield & Langley, was shown a red card in the 76th minute of the goalless draw with Shepton Mallet.

After the ball went out for a goal kick, Maseko needed to use the toilet and decided to go up against a hedge. He was seen by Shepton Mallet players who drew the incident to the attention of the referee.

Spanish YouTuber Spursito Trolls Half Of Twitter With Fake Marcelo-To-Leicester Rumor

If you saw anything about Marcelo being linked to Leicester City in the last day of the transfer window, it was probably fake, and you can thank Spursito for that.

The transfer window is, as we know, filled with an absurd amount of rumors and leaks of potential signings in the world of soccer. We’re thrown stories and "exclusives" that unfold transfer fees, contract sizes, talks, meetings, you name it. Yet, are they true?

Spursito, for one, showed us that we are often catered stories and rumors for the sake of clicks rather than for their validity. 

Jozy Altidore Almost Dies Sipping Coconut-Flavored Electrolit, Then Scores A Fancy, Landmark Goal

American legend Jozy Altidore seems to be rekindling his romance with the goal. The New England Revolution striker is currently on loan with Club Puebla in Liga MX, and there he just scored his second goal of the season during a 1-1 draw vs. Querétaro on Thursday night. 

Sure, Altidore is not a goal machine a la Haaland, but his record with La Franja is very impressive, considering he has only played 75 minutes spread over five games, always coming from the bench. 

Was That A Nipple Squeeze? The Hilarious Tête-À-Tête Between Chicharito And Michael Bradley

Toronto FC and LA Galaxy got into a heated game Wednesday night in which the boiling point was a rough but also hilarious dust-up between veterans Michael Bradley and Javier "Chicharito" Hernández. 

Michael Bradley vs. Chicharito fight

The whole ruckus started after Chicharito fouled the U.S. international. Bradley wasn't pleased with the action and complained in front of Hernandez's face. Canadian Richie Laryea, passing by, tried to stop the confrontation by pulling away Chicharito, but the Mexican acted up as if someone was dismembering him.
