Christian Pulisic, The Latest "Savior Of American Soccer," Is More Than Just Hype
You can count the number of soccer teams in the world better than Borussia Dortmund on one hand. Last season, the German club struggled with the loss of Robert Lewandowski and the impending loss of Jürgen Klopp and wound up with a sorry seventh-place league finish. One year later and they are back a...
Franck Ribéry Overhead Kick Shows The Frenchman's Still Got It
It’s quite a morning for stunning goals by French legends, as Franck Ribéry scored his second goal of the Bundesliga season on an incredible overhead kick off the rebound from Frankfurt keeper Lucas Hradecky....
Here's Borussia Mönchengladbach With A Great Piece Of Own-Goal Incompetence
On one hand, this comically ridiculous own goal does a disservice to the impressive work Schalke’s Leroy Sané put into creating it. On the other, the three deft little flicks Gladbach’s defenders ping back and forth between each other would be impressive—Arsenal-esque, even—if only they weren’t send...
Referee Gets Fed Up, Walks Off In Middle Of Bayer Leverkusen-Borussia Dortmund Match
Referee Felix Zwayer took his officiating crew off the pitch after Bayer Leverkusen manager Roger Schmidt earned an ejection but refused to leave during today’s match against Dortmund....
Volkswagen-Sponsored Wolfsburg Fine Nicklas Bendtner For Posting A Photo Of Himself With A Benz
Nicklas Bendtner has always been, let’s say, a vibrant character. A few years ago, he whipped his dick out and tried to hump a taxi, UEFA fined for wearing the wrong underwear, and he’s been arrested for trying to kick down a door in his own apartment building because he wanted to go swimming. Bendt...
Thomas Müller Scored Himself A Clean Little Half-Bicycle Kick Goal
Thomas Müller has, apparently, been reading the pamphlets and watching the tapes. The move in 2016, it seems, is knocking the ball down to yourself and spinning about while scoring. Christine Sinclair did it. Dele Alli did it. And it wasn’t as pretty as the Canadian or the Englishman, but Thomas Mül...
An Injured Chicharito Is Truthering Bundesliga Highlights
Javier Hernández is tearing up the Bundesliga in his first campaign with Bayer Leverkusen. The Mexican striker is fourth in the league with 13 goals, and first among non-Dortmund/Bayern players. Unfortunately, he’s now going to miss a few weeks after he tore a muscle in his ass (or his Gesäßmuskel, ...
Chicharito Is On Fire
Javier “Chicharito” Hernandez’s move away from Manchester United and Real Madrid off to Bayer Leverkusen probably seemed like settling, an acknowledgement on his part that he wasn’t cut out for the biggest, most ambitious teams in the world. But the first half of his debut Bundesliga season has been...
Lionel Messi And Marvin Plattenhardt Score Identical Free Kick Goals
Leo Messi hitting geometrically ambitious free kicks is about as unsurprising of a sporting development as Boogie Cousins getting fed up and pouting. And yet, this geometrically ambitious free kick was spectacular and deserves to be brought up and seen. Messi is so good that this has commonplace, an...
Today Was A Great Day For American Soccer Players In Europe
Right now is not a banner time for American soccer players in Europe. There are precious few starters for top-tier European clubs, and many American stars have repopulated MLS rather than try to hack it in the big leagues....
Jairo Samperio Gets Knocked Down, Scores Nifty Scissor-Kick Goal Anyway
Jorge Samperio is a young Spanish winger currently running around and scoring cool goals like this on the left wing for Bundesliga club Mainz 05. This was the most impressive league goal of his career, but the below goal is also pretty slick....
Robert Lewandowski Loses His Motherfucking Mind, Scores 5 Times In 9 Minutes
Robert Lewandowski came on for Bayern Munich at halftime in a match they were losing 1-0 to Wolfsburg. Five minutes and 40 seconds into his appearance, his first goal hit the back of the net. Almost exactly nine minutes later, his fifth goal did the same. This man is on fire....
Jesus Christ, Manuel Neuer, What Are You Doing?
Manuel Neuer had to be so tight standing there at midfield watching that shot, praying it wouldn’t sail into the empty net he had just ran a good 50 yards away from in a crazed and failed attempt to clear the ball. That it didn’t go in goes to show how astounding Florenzi’s wondergoal last week was....
Bayern Munich Concede Eight Seconds Into Match
Bayern Munich is one of the world’s top soccer clubs, but the record they broke today is one they’d rather forget as Hoffenheim’s Kevin Volland scored eight seconds into the match—the fastest in Bundesliga history. ...
Thomas Müller Scores Goal From Seemingly Impossible Angle
Despite being ridiculously shorthanded, Bayern Munich is having its way with Frankfurt today with the most impressive effort coming from Thomas Müller, who played what looks like an almost impossible angle for Bayern’s third goal. ...
Manuel Neuer Has The Ability To Turn His Hand Into A Brick Wall
Saturday's Bayern Munich-Borussia Dortmund match wasn't as monumental as the matchup has historically been, but it was still an intense match featuring some of the world's best players hell-bent on getting one over on their rivals. While former Dortmund man Robert Lewandowski scored the only goal fo...
Hey, Soccer Guy, Yanking A Goat's Horns Is A Dumb Way To Celebrate Goals
We aren't exactly clear what Cologne's Anthony Ujah was going for with this goal celebration involving club mascot Hennes the goat—is he miming riding it? are the horns like motorcycle handlebars?—but what we're quite certain of is ol' Hennes isn't digging it....
Why I Love Coutinho, And How Real Madrid's Slip Gives Us A Great<i> Clásico</i>
With the fireworks of the last few days, it would be natural to look down the sights and champ at how those results set up a couple blockbuster head-to-head matchups in the coming weeks. But let's take a second to look back and appreciate what we saw this weekend, which was magnificent....
