I don't know if it's the music or the man but there is something hypnotizing about this video of Messi. His legs never stop churning, an observation even more noticeable because they are so small. The word "gritty" comes to mind but Messi is actually, you know, good. [reddit]...

Cristiano Ronaldo's Latest Goal Was Truly Outrageous
A well-played match to the point by Rayo Vallecano fell to bits when Real Madrid's Cristiano Ronaldo put the Whites up 1-0 with this straight-up stupid blind back heel goal that somehow navigated itself past teammates, defenders, and the keeper. Call it a ¡ozaloG! [ESPN Deportes]...

Here's how the headline to this story looked early Saturday morning on ESPN's Soccernet site.
