Didier Drogba Freaked Out Watching Ivory Coast Win Africa Cup Of Nations
Update: As a commenter points out, it looks like the Drogba in the video Didier's brother, not the man himself. Sorry for the mix-up....
Atlético Destroyed Real Madrid, Proving Their Continued Greatness
November 29, 2010 remains infamous for all who remember what took place in the soccer world that day. The date itself probably doesn't ring a bell, but if I showed you a picture of an elated, triumphant Gerard Piqué stabbing the air with his raised hand, each of his digits spread wide, it'd probab...
How Atlético Will Rely On Their New-Look Attack To Beat Real Madrid
Here we stand, on the eve of what will be the sixth Madrid derby of the season, and it's still a little weird acknowledging that perennial little brother Atlético Madrid should be considered favorites. After their devastating late defeat in last year's Champions League final, Atléti have beaten Real...
West Brom Want To Sell Their Best Player, But Not Before They Smear Him
West Brom are on the higher end of the Premier League's lower class, where good seasons involve winning relegation battles with a few weeks to spare and bad ones involve fingernails gnawed down to the nub. As such, they have little to offer players with loftier ambitions and the talent to get them t...
Liverpool Are Back
Man, that formation change really did revitalize their season, didn't it? After idly futzing around with the ball for practically the entire first half of the season, unable to do the one thing they did so well last year—score—Liverpool now are back to booting 'em in every which way....
Tinder Girl's Icebreaker: "Just Fucked Edelman No Lie"
We don't know how Sabrina got this picture, or whether she did what she's claiming to have done with Julian Edelman, but she did say "no lie." Oh, to be a fly on the wall when she and Stephanie trade war stories......
Premier League Manager Resigns Because His Knee Hurts
The good ol', free-wheelin', tactics-ignorin', loveable Harry Redknapp is in pain. Not, he'd have us believe, because of his struggling QPR team's lackluster Premier League performances, or the because his owner laughed off the prospect of adding any bodies in the newly-closed transfer window while ...
Your January Transfer Window Roundup
Another January past, and another transfer window closes as the rumor mill, hype machine, and hope-mongering all come to screeching halts. For a little while, at least. But this window did have some fascinating moves, so let's take the opportunity to break down all the transfers that caught our eye...
Zlatan Does Not Like Question, So Zlatan Melts Journalist With His Eyes
As we've seen, for even the smallest of perceived slights, Zlatan Ibrahimović has the power to liquefy his enemies with a mere look or gesture. This journalist is his latest victim, and he managed only one even-spoken question before Zlatan's response turned him into a stammering schoolboy....
What Should We Want From The USMNT In 2015?
It's still a little odd seeing guys like Michael Bradley, Clint Dempsey, Jermaine Jones—hell, even Jozy Altidore—in their USMNT jerseys and remembering that these are not the players they once were. It's tough to wean yourself away from, say, watching Altidore temporarily putting the U.S. up 2-1 on ...
Atlético-Barcelona Game Goes Insane When Player Throws Shoe At Ref
Non-stop action from kickoff, an opening-minute goal from the all-of-the-sudden rejuvenated Fernando Torres, a dubious penalty call, two more incidents that could've easily led to pens, and five total goals made for a bonkers first half in today's Atlético Madrid-Barcelona Copa del Rey match. Then...
Free-Kick King Christian Eriksen Scores Another Beautiful Bender
Christian Eriksen has neither the rep, the unique technique, nor the iconic stance of Cristiano Ronaldo and his free kicks, but on the low, he might have the best right foot in the world when it comes to thwapping balls into the goal from any and every angle on set pieces....
Fernando Torres, Missing For Four Years, Found Scoring Goals In Madrid
Hey, who's this new "Fernando Torres" guy, and what did you do with the one we've come to know and loathe? Also: hey, there you are Fernando! Where have you been hiding all these years?...
Hockey Fan Eats It Down The Stairs
Some sweet deke skills by my man there, who executes a perfect toe drag to blow by that other guy. Who says you shouldn't drink and dangle?...
Iker Casillas Hopes To Become Overpaid By MLS One Day
Real Madrid legend Iker Casillas has had a rough go of it these past few years. The goalkeeper has seen his previously blemish-free legacy tarnished by the hand of a vindictive manager, lost a considerable amount of support from a fanbase that once idolized him, suffered a cratering of confidence, a...
Tomáš Rosický Is Arsenal's Irreplaceable Security Blanket
It takes more than the couple dozen legs of Arsenal's preferred starting XI to carry the club towards their annual fourth place finish in the Premier League and deep though ultimately unsuccessful (though not always!) runs in the other major tournaments. Rotation, fatigue, and the handful of cruci...
Please Laugh At This Soccer Team Struggling To Win A Fixed Game
Late on in this match in the Albanian Superliga, Flamurtari found itself tied with Teuta, 1-1. In a non-fixed game, you'd expect Teuta to protect their goal and maybe push on for the winner. Instead, we see the shameless display above, with Teuta all but begging their opponents to score, and Flamurt...
Zlatan Ibrahimović Doesn't Even Know Who You Are, Bro
And that look on his face says "c'mon, you know who I am, buddy."...
Here Are All 12 Blocks By The Heat's Hassan Whiteside, Who Drips Swag
With his first career triple-double during today's nationally televised Heat-Bulls game, the country got a glimpse of what Hassan Whiteside's been showing Miami fans this season. For those who missed it, here's how he accumulated the most impressive of his stats, a team-record 12 blocks....
This Shootout Goal In The KHL Skills Competition Is Just Filthy
Holy shit this is dope. Nikita Gusev's little twirling move looks more like ballet than hockey, and not only does it look really cool, it works. Here's a GIF:...
