FIFA Men's World Cup

When The Attacker Reacts Like This, You Just Made The Greatest Save Ever

You know in FIFA when you strike the perfect ball and the goalkeeper really shouldn’t even have time to react but instinctively leaps sideways and backwards and claws out your shot with a preposterous bit of animation that makes your blood curl? Well that just happened to Poland’s Kamil Grosicki but in real life.

The Polish attacker really should’ve scored with this perfectly placed header, but Japan’s Eiji Kawashima sprinted across his goal-line, went full extension and pawed it out with a monstrous right claw. This is what’s referred to as slamming the door shut.   

The Myth Of The Argentina World Cup

After Argentina versus Nigeria, a journalist approached Lionel Messi and asked him a question. A few days previous, the same man had given the player a piece of red thread, a good luck charm passed along by his wife. In the aftermath of the forward’s fantastic goal, helping Argentina to qualify for the next round, the journalist asked whether Messi remembered the gift.

Heroes And Villains Of The World Cup: Matchday 14

We will have no back-to-back champions. We will have no Germany 7 — Brazil 1. We will have no Thomas Muller doing silly things at the Munich Hofbräuhaus. Everything is different now. 

World Cup Predictions For The Final Match Day Of The Group Stage

How time flies when you're having fun. Thursday is the last day of the group stage, which means Groups H and G are in action! Group G is already wrapped up. England and Belgium have already advanced but will need to duke it out for the honor of winning the group (let's be honest, you don't want to win the group with the way the bracket is looking). Group H on the other hand sees Japan, Colombia and Senegal vying for the last two spots.

Forget Barcelona — Chucky Lozano Would Be Better Off At These Clubs

Hirving Chucky Lozano has been a revelation during the World Cup, inspiring Mexico national team fans to turn the Seven Nation Army chant into Lozano's own personal anthem. Given that he followed up a strong season at PSV with standout performances against Germany and South Korea, it's no surprise Chucky Lozano transfer rumors are widespread.

This Is Why Mexico Will Beat Brazil In The Round Of 16

Mexico vs Brazil will be no doubt an attractive match come the Round of 16.

El Tri and the Verde amarelha have met several times in diverse tournaments.

Brazil is a football powerhouse and is also the only national team to have won five world cup trophies.

Mexico’s Round Of 16 Curse Just Got More Demonic: It’s Neymar, Coutinho And Brazil

The great news for Mexico is that South Korea’s shock upset of Germany kept El Tri in the tournament. The bad news is that it’s Brazil lying in wait in the Round of 16. The even worse news? That right-hand side of Mexico that just got torched by Emil Forsberg and Ludwig Augustinsson now has to stop Neymar and Philippe Coutinho. The only real news of comfort for the backtracking Miguel Layun is that Marcelo might not be there. 

Costa Rica Goes Out With Heads Held High Thanks To Hilarious Own Goal

Costa Rica lost two tough matches to start the 2018 World Cup. The 2014 quarterfinalist was a few moments away from earning two draws but instead took two losses. But the Switzerland vs Costa Rica match finished 2-2, giving Los Ticos a deserved point from their stay in Russia, even if it came thanks to an odd own goal.

There's A Bar Drinking For Every Neymar Flop; They Are All Dead

There’s a bar that is giving out shots every time Neymar takes a dive. After the absurd Neymar roll against Serbia, they’re probably all dead now. 

For the second straight match, Neymar has made a fool of himself. Against Costa Rica he made this horrible dive. It inspired a bar in Rio de Janeiro to offer free drinks every time Neymar falls over.
