Fernando Torres Scores First Goal Back With Atlético Against Real Madrid
Hey, maybe this whole homecoming thing is going to work out, afterall! This is the exact kind of goal Torres has made his once-proud name so infamous, one where he had ample time to size up a fairly easy shot, and instead of scuffing it into an ad board, he spanked it home....

Francesco Totti Scores With Flying Kung Fu Kick, Celebrates With Selfie

Gareth Bale Puts Real Madrid Up 2-0 With An Unstoppable Free Kick

Club Disaster Or Not, Neymar, Suárez, And Messi Will Still Fuck You Up
Sure, the world might be falling down around them right now, but put Lionel Messi, Neymar, and Luis Suárez on the pitch, and they're going to wreck shit regardless. The three forwards have all gotten on the score sheet as Barcelona lead Elche 3-0 in the Copa del Rey. Here's how it happened:...
The Biggest Dude In The World Just Scored Against Liverpool
They don't make 'em like Adebayo Akinfenwa too often. The man-mountain stands at five-foot-eleven, has to be pushing 200 pounds, and can reportedly bench press damn near 400 pounds. That's how you get a world's-best 97 strength rating in the FIFA games....
Who Cares If Jérémy Ménez Was Just Fucking Around, This Goal Is Dope
"Well actually," pedantic soccer fan (but I repeat myself) begins, "Ménez had been offside for a while, so the 'goal' was"—yeah, shut the fuck up. Just look at the spin on that thing:...
Both Of Lionel Messi's Feet Must Be Made Of Glue
Let's ignore the video of Lionel Messi's second goal today for a minute, and just stare at the picture above. That's the world's best left foot plucking a screaming ball out of the air as casually as a frog would an unexpecting fly, or Odell Beckham would a lobbed duck of a pass in pregame warm-up...
I Think Érik Lamela's Got His Swagger Back
Érik Lamela was supposed to be the crown jewel in Tottenham's post-Gareth Bale transfer haul. After a pretty much nonexistent debut season last year, Lamela's looked a lot more promising this campaign. Just look at the bender he whales in from about 25 yards out:...
Yaya Touré Is Back To Smashing In The Goals
It was a bit of a shaky start for Yaya Touré this season, and as Manchester City's best player, it's meant a bit of a shaky start for the club. But today's match against Crystal Palace saw him back to the position he's most comfortable in, finishing off a perfectly worked counter by bludgeoning th...

Real Madrid Are Way, Way Too Good
For practically any other club in the world, missing players like James Rodríguez and Luka Modrić would be reason for panic. The absurdly deep squad of Real Madrid, though, can plug in the most expensive player of all time, and a little Spanish genius, and maybe play even better....
Neymar Belter From Distance Puts Barcelona Up 2-1 On PSG
Barcelona decided to break out a completely new formation for today's crucial Champions League match against Paris Saint-Germain.

Aaron Ramsey Is The Best Soccer Man In The World
Yo. He CRUSHED that ball....
Neymar + Suárez + Messi = Destruction
Having the world's fanciest dribbler weave past defenders and flick the ball out to the world's best all-around striker, who then chips a pass to the world's best player, who then pokes it past a defender, then past the keeper is a pretty foolproof strategy, it turns out....
Kevin Mirallas's Beautiful Curling Goal Was Right Out Of A Video Game
After a well-cleared cross from a free kick near the box, Everton's Kevin Mirallas collected the ball and crushed this shot, bending it perfectly into the far corner of Tottenham's goal. You can almost feel how hard he was squeezing the finesse shot button....
