We'll say this of Andy Gray, we admire the man's confidence. Gray was caught on live television pretending to translate a David Luiz interview from French. It was actually in Portuguese.

There will be no Internet after this. This is the end of the Internet. The internet has reached its peak, and there is nowhere left to go. It's over. Goodbye Internet.
This is what winning looks like.
The Columbus Crew’s latest away kit has gone viral for all the wrong reasons. Intended to pay homage to the Columbus City Flag, the jersey has been likened to yellow snow (don't eat it!), a printer test page and a neon snow cone. Here’s the breakdown of the kit as detailed by the Crew and kit providers Adidas:
Aspiring goalies, pay attention: here's a lesson on what not to do with a soccer ball. If you think a keeper juggle is an appropriate soccer move, there may be no hope for you. Unless you are Rene Higuita. Lincoln City keeper Paul Farman should have already known trying to juggle was a bad idea. He did it anyway, and now he may never see the field again.
Did we just see the Puskás Award goal scored? It is only February, but this goal will surely be a finalist come 2017 when the awards are handed out. Faiz Subri of Penang FA knuckle balled a free kick from 35 yards out and it truly defied physics. See for yourself.
The Champions League Round of 16 continued today with a number of goals between the two matches. AS Roma hosted Real Madrid at Stadio Olimpico, while VFL Wolfsburg traveled to KAA Gent.
Cristiano Ronaldo and co. defeated AS Roma 2-0 with CR7 opening the scoring in the 57th minute with a beautiful curling effort into the top left of the box. Subsititute Jesé came on for James Rodgriuez in the 82nd minute and, four minutes later, scored another crucial away goal for Los Blancos.
We're willing to bet that most of you out there chose to watch the PSG-Chelsea game over Benfica-Zenit. Allow us to show you the ridiculous backheel tackle that you missed.

Six-one down with less than half an hour to go. That's what confronted Queensland NPL team Gold Coast City in their match against Holland Park Hawks. Most teams would completely capitulate. They would collapse like a budget themepark, fold like a cocktail napkin, wither away like my ill-fated flower garden, and probably some other similes as well. But not this team. This team was about to mount a great comeback.
The Champions League is back and produced a number of highlight quality goals. Chelsea traveled to Paris to take on Ligue 1 leading Paris St. Germain, while Benfica hosted Zenit St. Petersburg.
The goal of the day goes to Edison Cavani and his game winner. El Matador caught the Chelsea defense sleeping as his run left him 1-on-1 with Chelsea keeper, Thibaut Courtois. Angel Di Maria sent a long ball to Cavani who trapped it down and slotted it through the legs of the lengthy Chelsea keeper from a tough angle. Cavani's 78th minute goal will be crucial for the away leg in London.
In 1994 an event happened that shook the very foundation of soccer. During the World Cup in the United States, apparently some marketing hacks decided to have Diana Ross take an exhibition penalty for reasons that are still unclear.
Now, Diana Ross is very talented at many things, singing chief among them. Not chief among them, however, is kicking a soccer ball. Which is how we found ourselves in the position of having to write this article.
