We’re going to harbor a guess that you were not watching the Bulgarian First League match between CSKA Sofia and Cherno More on Saturday. In all honesty, it probably would have been a waste of time. But it did have one of the most epic own goals we’ve ever seen.
Here we have Club America No. 1 Agustin Marchesin facing an eerily similar situation to the one confronted by Liverpool’s Alisson against Leicester City back on Sept. 1. Alisson, of course, infamously gave the ball away while performing your grandmother’s wedding dance steps, allowing Rachid Ghezzal to pull one back.
When you’re a striker who starts a match on the bench, you spend most of your time thinking about how you just want to get out there and score a goal to prove to your coach you should’ve been starting. Wang Shanshan did one better — well, eight better.
The Swiss Super League got started yesterday and then the goal of the season was scored today, just like that. Lugano’s Dragan Mihajlovic made like Sisqo and unleashed the dragon on Sion from 77 yards out.
He was very obviously just clearing the ball in the fourth minute after some dicey play at the back, but his “get rid!” sailed through the cosmos before taking a bounce over 20-year-old Sion keeper Anthony Maisonnial.
Oh, Argentines. You have such a flair for the dramatic.
This morning on TyC Sports, the broadcast crew held an on-air moment of silence after La Albiceleste’s pitiful 3-0 loss to Croatia. It’s sad and hilarious on a multitude of different levels.
