Everton Rout Manchester City 4-0
Manchester City went to Goodison Park today and got drubbed, as Everton put four past Pep Guardiola’s side.

<i>FIFA</i> Player Concedes Just The Dumbest Goal
Once I was playing the FIFA 17 demo and I somehow managed to score an own goal while trying to do a goal kick. That self-own pales in comparison to the goalmouth-scrambler conceded by Reddit user redz615 yesterday. Please enjoy the cinematic sendup that this dumb goal truly deserves....

Missouri Governor-Elect Takes Bazooka To MLS Hopeful's Stadium Financing Plans
Missouri’s recently elected governor, Republican Eric Greitens, is a former Navy SEAL, a devoted humanitarian, and a man who ran a campaign ad that was just 20 seconds of him firing a Gatling gun. All of that means he doesn’t take any shit, not when justice is at stake. The vampires trying to suck o...

Henrikh Mkhitaryan Was Offside But Who Cares Because This Goal Was Dope<em></em>
