Jürgen Klinsmann Did Not Want To Start Tim Howard Vs. Belgium At 2014 World Cup
We’re 68 minutes into last night’s MLS meeting between the New York Red Bulls and Real Salt Lake at Red Bull Arena with the home side leading 3-0. It’s a fairly innocuous time in the grand scheme of things, but MSG Network broadcaster Shep Messing — who covered the ’86, ’02 and ’06 World Cups for ESPN — is about to drop an absolute bombshell on viewers with regards to the USMNT at the 2014 World Cup.
Ref Lights Up Cigarette, Drinks Beer At Halftime Of Croatian Playoff
Being a referee is a thankless, difficult job. No matter how well referees officiate a match, they will almost always be scorned by players and fans of both sides. But being a Croatian referee? That’s not so bad, apparently.
During a recent lower-league playoff semifinal match between Petrovije and Momjan 1947, a referee was seen lighting up cigarettes and drinking beer at halftime.
If there’s a better way to deal with divas who complain about every little call, I’d like to see it.
Chinese Super League Club Ends Match With 3 Goalkeepers On Pitch Because That’s A Totally Normal Thing To Do
Beijing Renhe fielded three goalkeepers in a Round of 16 match against Guangzhou Evergrande in the Chinese FA Cup on Wednesday.
To quickly answer the questions you’re all asking right now:
25-Second Display Of Shithousery Includes Player Trying To Get Ref Sent Off
Have you ever seen Key & Peele’s “Fútbol Flop” sketch? Well, an actual match in the actual country of Argentina has made that look like an interpretive dance of the FIFA Fair Play Award.
Here’s 25 seconds of action from Argentina’s Primera B Nacional — it’s a promotion playoff semifinal between Club Almagro and Central Córdoba.
By my count, there’s at least seven instances (maybe more?) of shithousery here, climaxing in an Almagro player attempting to get the referee sent off.
Leicester City's New Away Kit Looks Awfully Familiar
Clubs LOVE kit reveals. Why? Not only because the club gets new threads for next season, but also because people will buy them. Lately it seems like big kit manufacturers have lost their creative touch, opting to go for cookie cutter designs on their kits that are shared throughout Europe.
Apart from the iconic three stripes somewhere on the shirt, adidas kits can be pretty boring when they're the same shirts that are shared by different clubs. Take a look at these photos from this past season’s adidas-sponsored Premier League teams.

Key Arsenal Player Won’t Travel To Europa League Final Due To Another Stupid UEFA Decision
Arsenal announced his official decision on Tuesday, and Gooners everywhere are cursing UEFA for it.
Henrikh Mkhitaryan will not travel to Baku, Azerbaijan, for the Europa League final against Chelsea because his safety cannot be guaranteed by UEFA or Azerbaijan.
Insane Women’s World Cup Ticket Fiasco Enraging Fans Weeks Before Kickoff
The 2019 Women’s World Cup kicks off in less than three weeks in France. FIFA announced fans who bought Women's World Cup tickets could print them out starting on Monday.
Women's World Cup tickets were cheap and fairly easy to score, even for the final and semifinals, as we outlined here. But it appears FIFA’s ticketing system had some major flaws.
Almost immediately on Monday, people began to notice a huge problem — and FIFA’s response was even more infuriating.
Atalanta Midfielder Makes 90-Yard Recovery Sprint Only To Take Shot Off Groin, Into Own Net
You really gotta feel for Robin Gosens after the magnificent Joaquin Correa goal vs Atalanta on Wednesday.
In the Coppa Italia final at Stadio Olimpico in Rome, Atalanta was pushing hard for a late equalizer, trailing by a goal to Lazio.
Atalanta pushed everyone up for a free kick; when it was cleared, Gosens sprinted 90 yards back to his own goal line.
Then Correa’s shot ricocheted off Gosens’ crotch and into the back of the net to clinch Lazio’s 2-0 win.
Zlatan Calls For An End To VAR After Choking A Man
This is Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s dark period. Like Francisco Goya before him, he’s probably living in near-solitude outside Lose Angeles in a farmhouse, painting haunting themes concerning his bleak outlook on VAR and retrospective fines from Major League Soccer.
It’s been 227 minutes since his last goal in MLS, a stretch that’s included three straight defeats for the LA Galaxy. When considering his exploits so far this season — nine goals and two assists in 10 games — this current run of form is apocalyptic.
