Regardless of the sport, everyone loves a “Big Man” play. There’s nothing better than a player defying expectations and assumptions people have on them based on their size. Wycombe’s Adebayo Akinfenwa did just that in December with a perfect chip shot that earned him League’s One’s goal of the month.
The control
The strength
The finish

Barcelona Femení's remarkable 2021-22 season continued Wednesday with a 5-0 victory over Sporting Huelva at Johan Cruyff Stadium. Dutch winger Lieke Martens has been the star of the show recently, and she went top of the Primera División scoring chart with a hat trick after 73 minutes before also assisting on an Alexia Putellas goal.
The first Martens goal was a right-footed volley in the 34th-minute that was hit with too much power for goalkeeper Chelsea Ashurst to deal with.
YAOUNDE - Hosts Cameroon overcame another hesitant start to crush Ethiopia 4-1 on Thursday and advance to the next stage of the Africa Cup of Nations with their second successive Group A victory.
Captain Vincent Aboubakar and Karl Toko-Ekambi both scored twice as Cameroon turned in a strong second-half performance and advanced to six points after also winning their opening game against Burkina Faso.
Relegation-threatened Reading got absolutely hammered by promotion hopefuls Fulham in the Championship on Tuesday — losing 7-0 at the Madejski to braces from Harry Wilson and Aleksandar Mitrović and further goals from Kenny Tete, Neeskens Kebano and Tosin Adarabioyo.
In a poetically fitting way, Reading's 33-year-old striker Andy Carroll also had two outrageous efforts ruled out for being clearly offside.
Ignacio Ambriz se estrenó anoche como DT del Toluca, después de un mal paso por el Huesca de España. Nacho soñaba con un debut ganador ante Pumas y recuperar el touch con que logró el título del Guard1anes 2020 junto a León. Sin embargo, después de 90 minutos, Ambriz salió con la cabeza gacha y recogiendo los pedacitos de su equipo, luego de ser demolido por los de la UNAM. Fue un 5-0 de escándalo y bien pudieron ser siete u ocho.
ROME - Juventus scored three goals in seven second-half minutes to complete an astonishing comeback and beat AS Roma 4-3 on Sunday after goalkeeper Wojciech Szczęsny saved a late penalty to keep them in front at the Stadio Olimpico.
Tammy Abraham put José Mourinho's side in front and Paulo Dybala made it 1-1 going into the break, but goals from Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Lorenzo Pellegrini put Roma in charge early in the second half.
Hay veces en que nuestro cuerpo hace cosas completamente diferentes a las que pensamos o imaginamos en nuestras cabezas. Esto no es necesariamente algo malo. Y prueba de ello es el gol que Bibiana Quintos le convirtió a Club León, en el debut victorioso de Pumas en el Clausura 2022 de la Liga MX Femenil.
After Sporting lost 3-2 to Santa Clara on Friday, Porto was presented an opportunity to open up a lead at the top of the Primeira Liga with a positive result against Estoril Praia on Saturday.
However, Estoril Praia, the league's fifth-place team, stormed to a 2-0 halftime advantage thanks to an André Franco penalty and a wicked deflection on Arthur's shot from the edge of the area.
Carlos Rodríguez tiene un don para el fútbol. Lo sabemos. Hasta ahora, sin embargo, lo que nadie sabía era que el mediocampista además tenía una habilidad secreta: predecir el futuro.
Dicho talento quedó en evidencia en su debut como jugador del Cruz Azul y él mismo lo confesó tras la victoria 2-0 sobre Xolos, donde anotó uno de los goles. “Venía en el autobús con Sebas Jurado y le dije imagínate, cómo te caería ganar y que meta un gol", afirmó Charly entre risas frente a las cámaras de TUDN. "Por eso lo festejé con él y le digo, te lo dije”, agregó.
For any American who doesn’t follow the various teams in England too closely, it’s important to know that Millwall fans are some of the worst. Imagine Philadelphia Eagles fans after slamming down a ludicrous amount Red Bull and vodka and then sprinkle in some racism.
Millwall has a history of racism, hooliganism and overall, just being the scum of England.
Millwall have met fans and fans groups to talk about Take a Knee reaction. Not easy issue to navigate. Club know it reflects badly.
