Viral

A video of English soccer fans chanting during a League One match has gone viral. Portsmouth fans didn’t have much to cheer about as they watched their side fall 4-0 to Ipswich Town on Tuesday. The Portsmouth fans’ chant during the game was clearly the highlight of the match.

To brighten the mood, the Portsmouth fans kept vocal note on if their team had the ball or if they lost the ball. Add a drum and a couple hundred English voices and you have yourself a legendary video.

You haven’t played ball growing up if you never took a ball to the face on a cold day. The stinging sensation that engulf your cheeks and nose is a feeling a steward in England felt Tuesday night when he took a penalty kick directly to the face.

The internet is divided right now over an incredible video of Borussia Dortmund striker Erling Haaland stacking three balls on top of each other and then proceeding to shoot each one into the upper 90 of a goal. Is the Erling Haaland video real though?

I hate to be that guy, but this video probably isn’t real.

Before we debate, let’s watch the video.

Not all overhead kicks are created equal. The greatest differentiator has to be that moment of posterization — when the foot meets football at its absolute zenith and the body’s parallelism with the ground seems to foreshadow certain death. 

On one end of the scale there's the footballer who’s simply throwing their leg at the chance and falling over. The result is still a great goal, but the lasting effect isn’t much more powerful than watching a somersault. 

Brazilian soccer star Hulk has certainly made some interesting decisions in his career, on and off the field. Leaving Europe to play five seasons in China and marrying his niece are prime examples. One thing the 35-year-old is clearly doing right is leg day at the gym.

Hulk plays with Atlético Mineiro in Brazil and went semi-viral Wednesday night for being the owner of the largest gluteus maximus in all of soccer. Atlético’s kit helped a little bit, but all credit to Hulk for never skipping leg day a single time in his life.
