Un estudiante de secundaria marca un gol como nunca antes lo habías visto

Dylan Prichett-Ettner del Columbine estuvo a punto de marcar uno de los más grandes goles que el mundo del fútbol haya visto jamás. Desafortunadamente para Dylan y para los fanáticos de las cosas bellas, el gol fue descartado como fuera de juego. Honestamente, es una parodia.

No todos los días se ve una voltereta perfectamente ejecutada incorporada a un gol, pero Dylan logró justamente eso con su intento. Un balón largo sobre la parte superior ve al número siete de Columbine corriendo hacia la portería.

Neymar And Brazil Jeered Off The Pitch Following 0-0 Draw With South Africa

With a squad containing the likes of Neymar, Renato Augusto, Gabriel Jesus and Rafinha, it was understandable that a huge home crowd booed their own team off the pitch following a scoreless opening Olympic match against South Africa.

Brazil played the majority of the second half with a man advantage following Mothobi Mvala’s dismissal, but they could not find a way past South Africa despite registering 20 shots with seven of those on target.

El equipo sub-19 de EE.UU. lucha contra los sub-20 de Bahrein después de un mal disparo

¿Qué tan enojado estarías si fueras expulsado de un gran torneo internacional por gente como Bahrein? Preguntemos al equipo masculino sub-19 de EE.UU., que perdió 3-1 contra Bahrein en el torneo COTIF, asegurando su salida de la competición.

Thierry Henry Leaves Arsenal Coaching Job After Arsene Wenger Warning

Arsene Wenger gave Thierry Henry the choice: either he quit his job as pundit on Sky Sports to focus solely on his job as assistant manager of Arsenal’s U-18s, or he’d lose his role within Arsenal’s academy. 

Henry has responded by leaving the club, choosing to maintain his role on television along with its £4 million-a-year paycheck. 

Arsenal’s all time record goalscorer had been completing his UEFA Pro License  at the club, the final coaching qualification available, giving rise to rumors that he'd someday replace Wenger.

South Africa Has More Swag Than Any Other Footballing Nation

The late 19th century to the end of the apartheid era in South Africa saw the rise of townships, urban living areas, built on the periphery of towns and cities. Reserved for non-whites, these sprawling and often underdeveloped slums were contrived as separate living spaces for working class and unemployed black, colored and Indian inhabitants. 

Townships were also referred to as locations or lokasie in Afrikaans. Lokasie gave way to the colloquial term kasi, a word which now encompasses the flavor and distinct style of the townships. 

Messi ha revelado la única cosa que espera que sus hijos entiendan de él

Lionel Messi es uno de los jugadores de habla más suave del mundo. Si no fuera constantemente uno de los dos mejores, si en vez de eso fuera un jugador medio que saliera al campo para el Stoke City cada fin de semana, entonces hay razones para creer que sólo los fans más duros sabrían quién es. Es increíblemente irónico, entonces, que haya subido a la fama en los albores de la era de las redes sociales, en un momento en el que todo el mundo se está haciendo un nombre a través de sus personalidades.

This 12-Year-Old Is On The Fast Track To The Pros With This Goal

When we were 12 years old, we were just satisfied with putting the ball in the back of the net, no matter how it happened. Honestly, we were six years away from playing soccer like bees play tag. In the rare instance that one of us scored something that took any amount of skill, we we’re f***ing pumped.
