This Quote Tries To Defend Violence. It Shows How Good Barcelona Really Are

You know you are a good team when your opponents have to resort to stomping on your best player and saying horrifically offensive things to you. Luckily for world-beating Barcelona, its opponent in this case received two red cards for its actions, although you could argue it should have been more. 

One Line From Luis Suarez Almost Made Barcelona Fight Espanyol

S*** really hit the fan during Barcelona and Espanyol’s Copa del Rey match, and Luis Suarez talking trash played no small part.

It has been roughly 24 hours since the final whistle blew and ever news outlet with at least a passing focus on football is printing various quotes from the post-game interviews, dissecting the official match report, and lip reading what the stars said during the match.

Social media is filled with salty Barcelona fans, gloating Barcelona fans, and people dissing Espanyol (sorry Espanyol, but your fan base is simply dwarfed by Barcelona’s).

This Defender Got Fooled During A Free Kick. So He Tried To Fight Everybody

Andy Yiadom must have, like, had a fight with his girl or something right before this game. That's the only thing we can think of to explain the level of confusion and misplaced rage demonstrated in this video.

Either that or he was on hold with Comcast.

The video starts out so normally, with Yiadom just standing there in the wall like a good boy. But then a Northampton Town player runs forward and then Yiadom runs forward and then AAAARRRRGGGHHHH ANGER AND RAGE.

Player Charged With Attempted Manslaughter For Face Kick

In the past, we've covered violence in football. Take, for instance, this planned brawl between hooligans in Russia which takes place before every Spartak v. Dynamo match. Or this instance when Saliou Ciss transformed into the Incredible Hulk after being sent off.

This Guy Blew Someone Up With A Dangerous Slide Tackle. Then Went Ballistic.

Maybe Majeed Waris of FC Lorient was mad that his team had just been scored on with a flying scissor kick. Maybe he was particularly mad at Jimmy Briand, the EA Guingamp forward that scored it. Maybe he was just mad that he got dragged to the ground and the ref didn’t make a call. Whatever the case, Majeed Waris proceeded to pull off the worst slide tackle we have ever seen, not in terms of the damage it did, but in terms of how cynical it was. 

Saliou Ciss Commits Almost Every Bookable Offense In One Minute

Aspiring referees, pay close attention. Valenciennes’ Saliou Ciss committed nearly every single bookable offense in the space of one minute. Some of his misdemeanors, including flipping the stretcher that was sent to his aid, aren't even recognized in the rule book.

After being sent off for collecting a second yellow card against Brest in a French Ligue 2 match, Ciss absolutely lost it. Ciss isn't slowing down, or stopping, for anyone (teammates included).

He Thought He Was Getting Away With Robbery. But Instead He Ran Into A Pro Footballer.

Shoplifters have probably the easiest job in the robbery business, and judging by the age of the kid in this next video, this is probably true to an even higher degree. This kid can’t be more than 14 years old. He was probably trying to steal a Snickers; the debt to society he owed would have been worth its weight in hunger and post-satisfaction self-loathing. Of course, that didn’t stop things from going terribly wrong for the kid.

This Fan’s Sucker Punch Was Brutal. The Story Behind It Is Even Worse.

If you are dangerously close to losing faith in humanity, stop reading this article and go watch this video, because it doesn’t get much worse than what went down during Steaua Bucharest & Petrolul Ploiesti.

The Unbelievably Rude Insult That Pique Yelled At The Ref To Get Sent Off

So Barcelona got beat out by Athletic Bilbao for the rights to the Spanish Super Cup. More accurately, they get embarrassed. The first game was a 4-0 drubbing that absolutely no one saw coming, and the next was embarrassing for what happened, and what didn’t. 

Miguel Herrera Reportedly Punched A Journalist In The Neck

Miguel "El Piojo" Herrera is the coach of the Mexican national team, but maybe not for much longer after reports surfaced that he punched TV Azteca commentator Christian Martinoli in the neck at the Philadelphia airport Sunday.
