Outrageous

I have been trying in vain for over a week now to purchase a PlayStation 5. The goddamn things are more elusive than Mesut Özil at the Emirates. As soon as the consoles go on sale, they’re immediately snapped up by asshats controlling bots to resell the coveted item for five times the price on eBay. 

A manager in Serie C took the saying “leave it all out on field” a little too seriously during a game on Wednesday when he took it upon himself to stop the opponent’s attack.

Calcio Catania’s manager Giuseppe Raffaele made a potentially game-saving tackle in the 92nd minute to halt Vibonese’s attack. Raffaele was in the perfect position as he watched one of his own players woefully lose possession and then stuck out a leg to snatch the ball back. He was immediately shown a red card for his crimes.

While 2020 has been subpar at best, the one positive has been that insane goals have been abundant this year. And in recent days we've been spoiled, to say the least.

When Barcelona forward Antoine Griezmann returns to face his former club Atlético Madrid in LaLiga on Saturday the Frenchman could be forgiven for wondering how things might have been different had he stayed at the Wanda Metropolitano.

First of all, the chances are that Griezmann will be on the bench as his current and former employers battle. After leaving Atléti, where he was the star man, for the Camp Nou in 2019 few things have gone right for Griezmann. He has struggled to find the form that persuaded the Catalans to pay his $141.98 million release clause.

A courtroom battle between the wives of former England football stars Wayne Rooney and Jamie Vardy kicked off in London on Thursday, an escalation in a tale of betrayal and amateur detective work that has titillated the British public.

Rebekah Vardy is suing her former friend Coleen Rooney for libel after Rooney accused her on Twitter and Instagram of leaking stories from her private life to the Sun tabloid newspaper. Vardy denies the leaks.

One big-man soccer player from Palestine’s second division has given physics the middle finger after he scored an impossible end line bicycle kick goal on Tuesday.

With his team Alarabi Beit Safafa stuck in some nervy final minutes tied at 1-1, a hero was needed. Who in all of Palestine could emerge from the shadows and answer the desperate call for a game winner? This one man who has been mocked on the internet as “Marco Fat Basten” knew that it was he, and only he, who had the wit, tenacity and audacity to attempt an unthinkable move.
