Lionel Messi wasn’t at his usual best in Inter Miami’s last MLS game of the season and fans on social media have found clips of the No. 10 throughout the game that show he might’ve not been amused of playing while already being eliminated from playoff contention.

Viral clip shows Messi walking around the pitch vs. Charlotte FC

Inter Miami travelled to North Carolina this past weekend ahead of the last match of their 2023 MLS Season against Charlotte FC. The closure to a historic season.

The players for the fifth tier Portuguese club Olivais e Moscavide had an awesome reaction when it was revealed they would play giants Sporting Portugal in the next round of the Portuguese Cup competition.

The tournament known as Taça de Portugal is the annual knockout tournament in the country open to professional and amateur clubs. Moscavide, who play in a regional league in the fifth tier, have progressed to the third round of the tournament and will get to play one of the big boys.

Here was their reaction.

Mauro Icardi made headlines this week for all the wrong reasons when a planned penalty kick routine took a terrible turn. The Icardi penalty miss came on Tuesday during a game vs. Istanbulspor.

In the 37th minute Galatasaray had a penalty kick. Standing over the spot was Turkish forward Kerem Akturkoglu. Rather than taking the shot he sneakily tapped the ball to the side for Icardi to run up and smash home.

The plan was going great. The goalkeeper had already dived, no defenders charged for the ball and all Icardi needed to do was pass the ball into the goal.

Tottenham’s Son Heung-min had a humorous reaction when a Dutch reporter told him he was saying Micky van de Ven’s name wrong. Van de Ven is Tottenham’s Dutch center back who joined the club this summer.

Son and van de Ven have played seven games together so far this season and the star forward is still getting the name down. Son had accidentally been calling him “van de Vic” instead of “van de Ven.”

Here was the Son van de Ven moment with the media when a reporter alerted Son of the mispronunciation.

Something went terribly awry during ESPN’s broadcast of Boca Juniors’ 3-0 victory in the Argentine Primera División on Tuesday. It’s not a good sign when “Boca Juniors Among Us” is trending.

Live sports production is a well-oiled machine that typically provides an easy viewing experience for fans (unless it’s trying to watch soccer on Paramount+).

People might not realize how little it takes for a broadcast to go screwy. It’s unclear what happened Tuesday night, but someone hit a couple of the wrong buttons during the Boca Juniors game.

Al Nassr secured a 3-1 victory in the Saudi Pro League on Saturday with Cristiano Ronaldo scoring a goal and taking out a cameraman in the process.

During the game Al Nassr were awarded a free kick just outside the box. Nearly all eyes in the stadium were on CR7 with the exception of the man operating the camera crane behind goal. 

Ronaldo’s kicked went past the wall, past the goalkeeper, past the goal and right into the face of the poor guy just trying to do his job.
