This year, for both Hazard and hi...
Chinese Commentator Can't Help But Laugh At This Striker's Horrible Miss

Amateur Soccer Guy Robbed Of Long-Range Goal By Apparently Blind Ref
About midway through what was probably going to be a long and elaborate goal celebration in honor of the blast Squires Gate’s (no, not a turn-of-the-century action/adventure RPG; a club in England’s ninth division) No. 8 just uncorked from the center circle, the ecstatic players in red turn horrifie...
Coach Pulls Hammy Trying To Run Away From Celebratory Beer Shower

Leicester City Got Their Trophy, And It Still Doesn't Seem Real
Somehow, a pregame special guest performance by none other than famed classical tenor Andrea Bocelli—where he went on for about ten minutes bringing “Nessun Dorma” and “Con te partirò” to a rowdy and somewhat confused crowd that was more interested in belting out the lyrics to their own little ditti...
