VIDEO: The best goal you’ll see today is by Barcelona lady Alexia Putellas
Barcelona ladies’ Alexia Putellas scored this beautiful goal in a 4-0 Copa de la Reina final win over Prainsa Zaragoza. Putellas beats two defenders with a Zidane-style stepover thingy before skipping past the keeper. Take a bow.
GIF: No bellyaching from Harrington who holes a monster 43-foot putt
The belly-putter has rocked the world of professional golf. To be fair it’s probably a world that deserves rocking after seeing the state of Ian Poulter’s wardrobe and having to listen to Sergio Garcia’s spat with Tiger Woods. Padraig Harrington is the latest golfer to benefit from switching to the belly-putter, and the Irishman had […]
GIF: Spanish magician Isco makes a Russian look daft
Somewhere in Spain there is a huge factory churning out model footballers with the aim of maintaining Spanish dominance in the world game. Isco has come straight from the factory and is flip-flapping his way through the European Under-21 Championship. The Malaga midfielder won the ‘Golden Boy’ last year, meaning he’s the best young talent […]
[Video] Alessandro Nesta red carded for this head-nudge
For dramatic effect this incident has been labelled as a head-butt. In one of the looser senses perhaps it is but in truth it is little more than a forehead nudge. Still against the rules and therefore still deserving of a red-card but Alessandro Nesta is no Zinedine Zidane. Or Duncan Ferguson. The former AC […]
[Video] Andrea Pirlo scores a very decent free-kick whilst sporting a nifty beard
Andrea Pirlo did what Andrea Pirlo does. He scored Italy’s third with a perfectly placed free-kick from 30-yards out. Then celebrated like he and his beard knew it was going to fly in to the top corner all along. Italy’s comfortable 4-0 win over San Marino in their friendly on Friday was as predictable as […]
Robin van Persie, Gareth Bale and five more of the best fan videos this season
‘Please do not watch the show through a screen on your smart device/camera. Put that s*** away as a courtesy to the person behind you and to Nick, Karen and Brian.’ This was the message fans received as they entered New York’s Webster Hall to watch the Yeah Yeah Yeah’s latest offering to the indie world. Videoing […]
GIF trilogy: The worst goalkeeping performance you’ll see today
Believe it or not but this lad is in the top-flight. OK it is the Slovenian top-flight but still he is a professional goalkeeper. The basics of his job are catching, blocking, and generally stopping the ball going into the goal. All of which he forgets in this hilarious three-part series. Alen Pasagic is the […]
GIF: The goal that won Wigan the FA Cup (and probably got Roberto Mancini the sack)
Ben Watson will probably never have to buy another pair of trainers from JJB again. It was his header in the dying minutes of the FA Cup Final that won the cup for Wigan in the biggest upset since Wimbledon’s win in 1988. 15/2 shots Wigan beat Manchester City 1-0 at Wembley to win the […]
[Video] The greatest FA Cup final goals ever….according to the FA
It’s the FA Cup final between Manchester City and Wigan today and the FA have compiled what they believe is a collection of the best goals from this yearly show-piece game. There are a few noticeable absences, notably Micheal Owen’s goals against Arsenal in 2001 and Paul Scholes in 1999, amongst others. No doubt you […]
[VIDEO] Is this the best Merseyside Derby goal ever?
Deep in to injury-time the 57-year old Gary McAllister held tight to his walker and he swung his right boot at the ball. Managing to retain his balance was almost impressive as the trajectory of the ball as it skimmed past the one-man wall and crept inside the left-hand post. All from 35-yards out. McAllister’s […]
[VIDEO]: Linesman attacks player for no reason, confused brawl ensues
Let me introduce you to Musa Kadyrov. He’s now an ex-linesman thanks to what you’re about to see in the below video. During a Russian Premier League game between Amkar and Terek last Friday, Mr Kadyrov inexplicably lost the plot and suddenly attacked Amkar youth player Ilya Krichmara. It’s hard to see a clear reason […]
[VIDEO] Graham Hunter exclusive: Dortmund, Madrid, La Liga pride and Mesut Ozil rising to the occasion
European football expert Graham Hunter (@bumpergraham) is predicting Real Madrid’s experience and composure will prove key in getting a positive result in tonight’s Champions League semi-final with Borussia Dortmund in Germany. If it’s not to be a complete Bundesliga domination of this week’s Champions League semi finals then, ironically, Real Madrid might depend on a […]
GIF: Four reasons why Bayern Munich will be in the Champions League final
Bayern Munich have had the Bundesliga title sewn up for months and have taken another huge step towards a historic treble thanks to a 4-0 victory over Barcelona. The German side took the lead against the Spanish giants in their Champions League semi-final first leg in the 25th minute at the Allianz Arena. Thomas Muller nodded […]
Goal of the season GIF: Aston Villa might still win something this year
When your team is struggling at the bottom of the table, desperate for points, commentators, managers and pundits tend to say any goal will do. A deflected, scuffed shot from the edge of the box. A goalkeeping howler from the opposition. A 14-man goal-mouth scramble where the ball pings in off the arse of your […]
