Do you want to know what feels like it happened a long time ago? This, this feels like it happened a long time ago:
That was Javier Hernandez playing hero for Real Madrid in one of the biggest games of the year late last April, 4 months ago.
This past weekend in MLS saw two of the biggest clubs take each other head on as Orlando City flew to CenturyLink Stadium. The Seattle Sounders put four goals past Orlando in a fantastic turn of events for Seattle after missing a first half penalty kick.
After taking a closer look at the match and trying to figure out how Kaka and his team could concede so many goals we may have found the real reason for Orlando’s defeat.
We always suspected something was up with Xabi Alonso. His passing was too good; his vision is too good for a normal human.
And now we see that we were correct in our assumptions, with this Vine as proof: Xabi Alonso is a ghost. Clearly, Xabi starts to disappear here, proving that he is a ghost and can communicate with the supernatural world. His pinpoint lobs are so precise because other ghosts are carrying them to their destinations. The truth has come out.
In the forested training ground of Zenit St. Petersburg lives one of the most powerful strikers in the modern game. Even fellow teammates aren’t safe from his rocket of a leg during practice, and this video shows why.
Striding past three defenders and a shot at the end blew the goalkeeper straight through the back of the net. A quick apology at the end and Hulk is ready to have another go.
Getting in your last minute touches can be important for a pre-match warm-up, but kicking the ball into a sea of fans isn’t the best way to exit. From what was supposed to be a playful pass into the crowd by Brazil’s number 10, came an embarrassing knock in the face.
Neymar accidentally kicked the ball he was juggling at a young boy as he watched the Brazilian team board their bus before a Copa America match against Peru. After realizing that the boy was hurt from the incident, he was escorted onto the team bus to receive a souvenir he will cherish forever.
If it is hard out here for a pimp, then it must be truly cruel to be a defender. It’s their job to stand between some of the most talented people in the world and their goal: the goal. Needless to say, it doesn’t always end well. Defenders get nutmegged, dragged out of position, yelled at by fans and teammates alike, and lambasted by the media on a weekly basis. When they are good, people hardly notice them. It’s a thankless job.
The highs and lows of Arsenal's win at Wembley.
Australia’s professional soccer league is an up-and-comer, and apparently it still has a lot of “coming” ahead of it.
He was sent off for stopping a clear goal scoring opportunity. He decided to show the world how he felt about that…and he failed.
Dutch defender Jordi Balk scored the best (or worst, depending on your perspective) own goal ever.
