AC Milan Makes Worst Serie A Start In 81 Years

AC Milan has made its worst start in Serie A in 81 years this season. Winning just two and losing four games out of six, under-fire manager Marco Giampaolo is under even more pressure to get the Rossoneri up and running.

The former Sassuolo manager replaced Gennaro Gatuso as manager over the summer and the move was lauded by fans. Now, things don’t look as good.

AC Milan has not lost four games in its first six matches since 1938. Almost all of these losses have come to lesser opponents: Udinese, Inter, Torino and, now, Fiorentina.

EFL Cup Match Gets 28 Minutes Of Added Time After Floodlights Fail 3 Times

It has to be the greatest third round fixture in the history of Carabao Cup. Wednesday’s meeting between Burton Albion and Bournemouth at Pirelli Stadium featured three floodlight failures, a minimum of 28 minutes of added time and a giant killing. 

Man Dies Inside After Butt-Inspired Own Goal In All-Important Prague Derby

On Sunday, the Czech First League had one of its biggest games of the season: the Prague derby between rivals Sparta Prague and Slavia Prague. The match went down at Letná Stadium, home of Sparta, but the visitors — and current league-leaders — Slavia emerged with a 3-0 win.

After Tomáš Souček had given Slavia the lead with a 19th-minute penalty, the game’s pivotal moment arrived in the 55th minute. With Slavia pushing hard to increase its lead, the two-goal cushion finally arrived in bizarre fashion.

Goalkeeper Celebrates Full-Time Whistle With Punt That Goes Horribly Wrong

I know of no greater natural human curiosity than the one that demands we discover the ball’s final resting place. One of our most beloved sports, golf, is entirely based on this premise. So when a ball actually exits the field of play, the novelty of it all can lead to some of the greatest moments in all of sports.

But sometimes, you don’t want to know the end. Because how can the end be happy when so much random chance is involved? 

Chivas Goalscorer Was Obviously Inspired By The Majestic Harvest Full Moon

Whatever you do, don’t show this to Joe Buck. Yesterday, Guadalajara registered a 1-0 victory over Atlas at Estadio Akron thanks to a 63rd-minute crack from Alexis Vega, who then exposed his crack. The 21-year-old Mexican boofed one from over 25 yards out to keep Chivas in the thick of the liguilla race, and then he fought off a strong desire to strip nude before settling for half-naked.

Orlando Pride Angers Fans With Shockingly Insensitive Marketing Ploy

The Orlando Pride might just be the worst-named club in the world. Not because Pride is a bad name, but because the ownership and/or marketing team doesn't seem to understand its fans and community.

Costa Rica Coach Steps Down Because Of . . . Boredom?

Being a national team coach in a landscape where you rarely get to see your players must be difficult, and Costa Rica manager Gustavo Matosas has said to hell with it after less than one year in charge.

Matosas, the head coach, said that he gets bored with the amount of downtime he has compared to the amount of time he actually has to train and work with his players. He felt “unproductive” with so much down time, even though he spends loads of it studying film so that he is prepared to get the most out of the little time he has with his players.

Think You Need To Touch The Ball To Score A Goal? Think Again

Scoring a goal is a beautiful thing, as is clearing one off the goal-line from a defensive perspective. But scoring a goal 13 seconds into a match without even touching it? Well it doesn’t get much better than that. It sounds like some serious witchcraft was at play in the early moments of this game. The league should look into that.

Goalkeeper Has Legendary Reaction To Failed 50-Yard Chip Attempt

As a goalkeeper, being chipped is one of the most embarrassing things that can happen to you. It's one thing to have it dinked over you during a one-on-one, it's a whole different thing to be chipped from distance — which means goalkeepers will hate you if you try to chip them from long-range.

In this Sunday league match, a player tries to chip the opposing keeper from 50 yards out and fails. The keeper's reaction is priceless.
