Comedian Karl Porter went ultra-viral on Wednesday after a clip of his slow motion soccer celebration act spread on the internet. During his comedy set the UK comedian asked the crowd if they wanted to see his goal celebration.

He absolutely nailed it.

Avid soccer fans have seen so many clips of professional players scoring goals and wheeling off in celebration. Then when we see the replay, we get the slomo version of the celly.

Porter has been studying hard because that was perfect form on that header, knee slide and facial expressions.

Spanish club Málaga went off the deep end a while ago. In 2013 the club was playing in the quarterfinals of the UEFA Champions League. Last season they were relegated from the second division of Spain.

You can’t blame the fans for not having much optimism when the is club dying out, hemorrhaging money and set to play in the third tier for the first time since 1998.

One of the worst goals I’ve ever seen in a professional league was scored on Saturday in the Ukrainian Premier League. A comedy of errors led to what can only be described as a cataclysmic defensive failure.

The game was between Vorskla and Veres Rivne and in the 20th minute Vorskla led 2-0. They must have felt bad for their opponents or something because it’s hard to describe what went wrong on their goal kick.

Sit back, relax and watch this train wreck sequence of soccer.

Australia advanced to the semifinals of the Women’s World Cup on Saturday after a dramatic penalty shootout victory vs. France that featured 20 kicks. This was the longest shootout in women’s or men’s World Cup history.

When FIFA made the bracket for the Women’s World Cup, they did so assuming the United States women’s national team would top their group.

If that had been the case, then the U.S. would’ve been playing South Africa in the Round of 16 at 10 p.m. ET on Saturday. If they won that game the quarterfinal match vs. the winner of Spain-Switzerland would be on Thursday at 9 p.m. ET.

FIFA tried to make viewing the Women’s World Cup for American fans easy, however the lackluster group stage games from the USWNT put a wrench in those plans.

The world watched Friday night as Lionel Messi made a dream debut for Inter Miami scoring a last-minute free kick for a 2-1 win vs. Cruz Azul in the Leagues Cup.

Superstars watched on at DRV PNK stadium with the likes of LeBron James, Kim Kardashian and club owner David Beckham in attendance.

D.C. United head coach Wayne Rooney was given the honor of being the coach for the 2023 MLS All-Star team. The game won’t be a fond memory for Rooney as he watched his side get trounced by Arsenal 5-0 on Wednesday.

The match wasn’t pretty as the All-Stars only managed a single shot on target the entire game and were torn apart on defense.

After the game a reporter asked Rooney what his takeaways were as head coach. His response was incredibly on brand.
