Oscar ends 8-year stay in China, remember when he blasted the ball into his opponents?

Former Chelsea star and Brazil international Oscar will be departing China after playing with Shanghai Port for the past eight years. The 33-year-old announced his farewell on Tuesday and will reunite with his boyhood club in São Paulo.

We’ll be completely honest and say that we didn’t watch too many Chinese Super League games in the past decade. One moment we do remember fondly was Oscar giving absolutely no fucks and just lasering the ball into his opponents.

Phil Foden pulling down an opponent’s shorts perfectly reflects how Man City’s season is going

Manchester City failed to win again on Thursday with a 1-1 draw against Everton that saw Phil Foden pulling shorts down on opponents in another lackluster performance.

Thursday’s result means that Pep Guardiola’s side have won just one of their last THIRTEEN games across all competitions. It’s a poor run of form never seen from Pep’s City teams over the previous years.

One moment from Thursday’s draw that provided an accurate representation of City’s current situation was Foden clinging on to Armando Broja’s shorts for dear life.

Watch: Lisandro Martínez tells Son to hurry up taking a corner kick, then Son scores Olimpico

Tottenham’s 4-3 victory vs. Manchester United in the EFL Cup on Thursday was full of bizarre moments. No instance was better than the Lisandro Martínez Son corner kick drama in the final minutes of the game.

With Spurs leading 3-2, the South Korean superstar was taking his time walking over to the corner flag for a set piece. Martínez, to the displeasure of the home crowd, went over and told Son to hurry up.

The United defender would instantly regret telling Son to get on with the corner kick as the Spurs forward then scored directly from the set piece.

Watch: Man City’s failed penalty kick practice perfectly sums up their current form

Manchester City are experiencing one of their worst runs of form in years with just a single win in their last nine games. Nothing seems to be going right, and footage of a Man City penalty practice reflects that perfectly.

During a livestream of City’s practice on Tuesday something unthinkable happened. Phil Foden, Jack Grealish, Ilkay Gundogan and Erling Haaland all missed penalty kicks in training. The worst part? There wasn’t even a goalkeeper in goal.

The United States women’s national team drew England 0-0 in front of a packed Wembley Stadium on Saturday during a friendly. The game saw a tactical chess match between the head coaches as well as a Lindsey Horan bicycle kick attempt.

USWNT fans were brutal online toward the star U.S. midfielder as she failed to make an impact on the game.

Aston Villa conceded a bizarre penalty in a 1-0 loss at Club Brugge on Wednesday which ended their perfect start to the Champions League group stage.

What had been a lethargic performance for Villa turned absurd in the 52nd minute when Tyrone Mings inexplicably picked up the ball, believing it was not in play.

Villa keeper Emi Martinez had just lined up a goal kick, sending a short pass to Mings, who then picked up the ball and gave it back to the Argentinian. The referee pointed to the penalty spot, and Hans Vanaken converted.
