A match today in Greece’s second division between AEL Larissa and Acharnaikos began with all players, coaches, and referees sitting down on the pitch for two minutes in protest of European governments’ handling of the migrant crisis.

I Lost Almost 50 Pounds, But Not My Inhibitions
So I’m standing in line at Taco Bell sometime in the early 2000s, and up at the counter they’ve got a TV showing us security-camera footage of ourselves, and that’s how I catch sight of the hulking, disheveled, terrifying man looming directly behind me. He is the size of 3.5 normal people, even in t...

The above video is truly extraordinary, and one of the craziest endings to a sporting event I’ve ever seen....

Zlatan Kills Denmark On The Field, Then Torches Them With Sick Burn
This version of Zlatan Ibrahimović is older and worse than the one we loved and feared. Not that a little thing like age could keep him from stomping out Denmark on his way to qualifying for Euro 2016, and dancing over the body in an interview after....

French NBA Prospect Throws Down Huge Dunk In Adriatic League

That Feeling When You Think You Fucked Up But It All Works Out Anyway
I like to think that Philipp Schobesberger of Rapid Vienna helped an old lady carry her groceries up a couple flights of stairs last week and thus was karmically rewarded with this goal right here....

Russian Idiot On The Field Uses MacGyver Skills To Escape Security
The only thing more stereotypically Russian than the urge to sprint out onto the pitch in celebration of your team scoring is successfully fleeing back into the crowd before security apprehends you. Shouts out to the crowd for their teamwork. (Warning: video’s kinda loud.)...

Robin van Persie Own Goal Ensures Netherlands Fail To Qualify For Euros
With the 2016 European Championships expanding from the usual 16 teams to 24, it should have been a given that the Netherlands would qualify. They finished third at last year’s World Cup, and boast a roster full of future stars and Champions League veterans. Yet going into today’s final group qualif...

Liverpool Shooting Themselves In The Foot By Not Taking Europa League Seriously
Last weekend, Liverpool lost in sorry fashion to Manchester United, their hated foe and rival for one of the Premier League’s all-important top four spots. That result, plus the draw with Arsenal a couple weeks prior, likely shut the door on what in the best of cases would’ve been an unlikely run to...

What Is Jerome Randle Doing Leading The Ukrainian National Team?
Jerome Randle goes by many names these days. As Jerome, he’s won NCAA tournament games and knocked on the NBA’s door for half a decade. Jerome is from Chicago. Jerome was, briefly, responsible for setting up Dirk Nowitzki. But Джером Рендл or, phonetically, Dzherom Rendl, isn’t close to California, ...

Borussia Dortmund Go Down Three Goals, Shrug, Score Four, Win
Once-great, now-good lunchpail German side Borussia Dortmund opened up their Europa League campaign away to some team from Norway aptly named Odds BK. August NIT games don’t impress us much, especially against teams from Norway, but Odds came out and scored 13 seconds into the dang match!...

Jack Wilshere Hammers Home Equalizer For England [UPDATE: And Again!]
England unexpectedly found themselves down 1-0 to Slovenia after Milivoje Novakovic’s first half goal snuck past Joe Hart, but Arsenal star Jack Wilshere brought The Three Lions back when he ripped a strike from outside the penalty area that Samir Handanović could only get a finger on....

Idiot On The Field Disrupts Armenia-Portugal Euro Qualifier
A presumably Armenian Idiot invaded the pitch during the first half of today’s Euro 2016 qualifier and, unlike American Idiots On The Field, actually earned some decent attention and play-by-play from ESPN’s announcing team. ...

Marcos Pizzelli Shocks Portugal With 35-Yard Screamer
Armenia opened the scoring of their Euro 2016 qualifier against Portugal with an early golazo from Marcos Pizzelli, who landed a 35-yard free kick that left Rui Patricio helpless. It would have made Ronaldo smile, had it not been against his own squad....
