Look at this cute little beagle. This beagle plays goalkeeper and I have to admit, this pup is better than some human goalkeepers. After a bit of a rough start at first, “Purin the Super Beagle” got its head in the game and blocked every shot but one. I’m pretty sure that after some lackluster […]

Gareth Bale and spectacular goals are nothing new. Hitting a strike so perfect the goalkeeper just stands and watches it? That’s exactly what Bale did in Wales’ qualifier against Isreal on Saturday.

With only eight games left in the EPL season (well Leicester City has nine but that extra game is against chelsea so may as well say eight), it’s coming down to the wire in terms of who will get relegated to the Championship next season. The bottom three EPL teams relegate and if history is […]

79 seconds. It only took 79 seconds for Harry Kane to score in his England debut. Kane was left on the bench for some reason by Roy Hodgson but once got subbed on in the 72nd minute, he wasted no time in scoring as he powered in a header from Raheem Sterling on his first […]

Some scary scenes in Montenegro as Russia’s goalkeeper Igor Akinfeev was struck in the back of the head by a flare thrown by a fan in the first minute of a Euro 2016 qualifier. Akinfeev was knocked out eight seconds in and had to be subbed out for Juri Lodygin. The game was delayed by […]

Something happened last Thursday that hasn’t happened in 22 years — an English team won’t be in the quarter-finals of a European competition. Let that fact sink in for a bit. After Everton were thumped by Dynamo Kiev in its round of 16 tie the last English hope vanished, and it left many wondering what […]

With WrestleMania coming up this Sunday, it seems that people from outside the WWE are getting ready. Recently, a Brazilian player clotheslined a referee to respond to an apparent non PK call during a game. If you don’t know what a clothesline is, it is a move where one person extends their arm straight out […]

The Championship is the league below the English Premier League and there is a serious battle to see who promotes to the EPL. Right now, the top eight have a realistic shot to promote and we only have eight games left to decide who goes to the top division. This is going to come down […]

FIFA, or the FIFA World Cup Twitter account, tweeted full time scores of CONCACAF World Cup Qualifiers from Monday night. This isn’t that big of a deal, it’s a pretty normal thing to report full time scores. What was strange was that whoever was running @FIFAWorldCup, the official FIFA World Cup Twitter account, tweeted full […]

AC Milan were once the darlings of European soccer and considered one of the biggest brands in the Italian game. A ownership change hasn’t fared well though, and it’s resulted in the Red and Black side of the San Siro falling on some hard times. The club is currently sitting eighth in the Serie A […]

Because I feel like depressing myself and everybody else today, current French enemy Zlatan Ibrahimovic took good care of his soccer ball by giving it a first class airplane seat on the flight back to his native Sweden. Ibrahimovic scored his first Ligue 1 hat trick against Lorient and received the ball from the game. […]

5. Luis Suarez vs Real Madrid The winning goal of El Clasico. The biggest reason it is on here was the wonderful assist that put Suarez through on goal. This Barcelona squad is finally clicking. It’s a terrifying prospect for anyone who has to play them. 4. Eden Hazard vs Hull An absolute cracker of […]

Luis Suarez cannot make this goal look any easier. Suarez only had to touch the ball twice in order to get the game leading goal in El Clasico. Both touches were simple, precise, clinical and looked incredibly easy when we all know that it’s far from. Suarez has been playing more of a supporting role […]

El Clasico has had a start, stop, start, stop flow to things. One teams seems to have the advantage at first, then the other team takes over and then back again. Barcelona drew first blood by one of the more unlikely players in the game. Jeremy Mathieu, the center back for Barcelona drove through and […]
