A 17-year-old Quebec soccer referee was assaulted by a soccer parent over the weekend and a video capturing the confrontation has spread on the internet. The incident happened during a U14 soccer game in Dollard-des-Ormeaux outside of Montreal.

A few days ago, the Campeonato Pernambucano's first leg final gave the world a cute image when a police dog invaded the pitch. The pup ran into the field, played with a ball and melted hearts worldwide — a completely different situation to the horrific one we witnessed Saturday night in the second leg when a player from Clube Náutico tried to attack referee Deborah Cecilia after being sent off.
Everyone stopped. Well, almost everyone.
Bernardo Silva heeded that ageless piece of wisdom taught to every young soccer player around the world: Play to the whistle. He was rewarded with a stunning goal, the fourth in Manchester City’s 4-3 win over Real Madrid on Tuesday in the Champions League semifinals.
Goalkeepers are weird. Not bad, per se, just peculiar. It takes a different type of person to play keeper, that oddball who dons oversized gloves and uses their hands. Sometimes the antics of goalkeepers are lauded for throwing opponents off, others they’re laughed at for being too bizarre.
Hay consenso general en torno a que el nivel del arbitraje mexicano es mediocre. Sin embargo, hace rato no se veía algo tan espantoso y vergonzoso como la actuación de Diego Montaño en el partido entre América y Club León.
Cringe por 90+ minutos.
La performance de Montaño incluyó varios cobros errados, errores de procedimiento y de extra tres tarjetas rojas a jugadores de León.
Necaxa dio uno de los grandes golpes de la Jornada 15 de la Liga MX al derribar a Tigres, uno de los líderes del torneo, en el Estadio Victoria.
El triunfo 2-0 de los Rayos, como uno podrá imaginar, no tenía muy contento al DT felino, Miguel Herrera, quien ventiló todas sus frustraciones en la conferencia de prensa. El enojo particular del Piojo se centró en el primer gol del Necaxa, el cual – según él – debió ser anulado por el VAR ante una supuesta posición fuera de juego del delantero hidrocálido Rodrigo Aguirre.
In 2020, UEFA hastily amended its men’s Champions League yellow-card accumulation rules after deciding to play the quarterfinal and semifinal rounds as single legs upon returning from a Covid-19 hiatus. This begs the question: When are yellow cards wiped out in the Champions League for the 2021-22 season?
Rafael Soriano has entered the Douchebag Hall Of Fame for assaulting a referee then claiming the ref was milking it “because she’s a woman.” The Desportiva Ferrovíaria coach was red carded then fired after the match.
Soriano came onto the pitch to argue a call at the start of halftime during a fifth-tier Campeonato Capixava match against Nova Venecia on Sunday in Espirito Santo, Brazil. He left as a reviled asshole, headbutting assistant referee Marcielly Netto in the nose.
Los jugadores de Monterrey no estaban muy felices al final de su su partido ante Toluca, la noche del miércoles. Rayados sacaba una valiosa victoria 1-2 en el Nemesio Diez, cuando a los 96 minutos el silbante Eduardo Galván — con asistencia del VAR – sancionó un penal que permitiría a los Diablos Rojos rescatar un agónico empate 2-2.
I’ve heard people say on many occasions that Jack Grealish has what we call a punchable face. Ángel Correa went a different route and sent the Champions League ball into the Man City winger’s face.
Late in Manchester City’s 1-0 win over Atlético Madrid in the first leg of the Champions League quarterfinals on Tuesday, Grealish fell to the pitch following a challenge from Sime Vrsaljko near the midfield sideline. Correa followed it up by kicking the ball at Grealish, hitting the player in the chin.
