The Best "I'm A Star...Get Me Out Of Here!" Moments In MLS History

"It's a very hard league to play in. It's very physical, there's a lot of running. So there is a lot of physical work and to me, in my mind, too little play."

Andrea Pirlo probably didn't have running wind sprints in mind when he planned on winding down his career in MLS, but that's what he got. Although NYCFC play on one of the smallest fields you'll ever see at the professional level, Pirlo still chases the game more than when he played in Italy. And, of course, he's 38 now, so he's likely feeling the burn a bit more.

Cristiano Ronaldo Miss From Point Blank Range Proves He's Still Human

Cristiano Ronaldo had a bad miss on Wednesday.

Of course, he also became the all-time leading scorer in Europe's top five leagues. His brace in Real Madrid's crucial victory against Celta Vigo gave him 368 goals in 460 apperances at both Manchester United and Real Madrid. 

His missed opportunity at a hat trick also reminded us that even the greatest player's can still be humbled by the game.

Turan And Umtiti Keep It 100 When Assigning Each Barca Player An Emoji

I thought this video was going to be terrible. Most of these club videos featuring two players playing a lighthearted game are unbearable — things feel forced, it looks like it’s the first time the players have ever talked to each other and they want to go home.

But Samuel Umtiti and Arda Turan are really good at assigning their teammates specific emojis. Maybe it’s because we use emojis way too much, maybe it’s because the nearly telepathic understanding Barcelona players seem to share lends itself to little activities like this, but Umtiti and Turan aren’t messing around.

Own goals: the bane of any defender’s existence, the joy of everyone else’s. When that ball is swung into the commentator’s corridor of uncertainty, you can’t blame a defender for sticking out a leg and burying the ball into the back of his own net…but yes you can. 

Here are some various records for own goals, their infamous scorers and other riotous events that are worth reading about.

Antonio Conte, A Notoriously Strict Coach, Has A Priceless Reaction To Diego Costa Eating Cake

Diego Costa's hysterical antics have been in full swing this season. From the tractor incident to funny post match interviews, the list keeps growing. During halftime of Chelsea's travels to West Brom, Costa fancied himself a nutritious snack, and Conte was informed of this after the match.

That Moment When Your Greatest Strike Is An Own Goal

The ball goes up, the ball comes down. It flys to Earth without a sound. You make the call, you bike the ball, but that’s because you never know where it will fall. 

A bicycle kick own goal as graceful as this deserves poetry — fine poetry. This is a pretty difficult philosophical question: if you could score a goal as great as this but it also had to be an own goal...would you? I think I would. I know I would.
