Peter Crouch is known for dancing after goals, and sometimes he likes to take his talents to somewhere besides a soccer pitch. Somewhere that's actually meant for dancing. Somewhere like Ibiza.

As the moments of desperation evolved, goalkeeper Jamie Butler scored an incredible full field laser to even the game at two goals a piece. Following a favorable skip from right outside the 18 yardbox, the ball found it's way into the upper left corner out of reach from the opposing goalie. Crazy moments like these are why we love the game!
Highlights are fun, and highlights are even more fun when narrated by the WWE's Jim Ross. Because of the massive beatdown New York Red Bulls put on New York City FC, and because of the Internet, we've ended up with one of the great match highlight videos of our time, with professional wrestling commentary overlaid on Red Bulls' 7-0 trouncing of their "rivals."
Marco Fabian made it back into the Eintracht Frankfurt team as they secured their Bundesliga safety against FC Nürnberg. A Haris Seferovic goal proved the difference as Frankfurt won 1-0 in Nuremberg and 2-1 on aggregate.
As the final whistle of the game approached, a moment of creativity developed as Kaka maneuvered his way through the box to hit a well timed cross to Cyle Larin. The Canadian then shook the net with the game winning goal against the Montreal Impact in the 87th minute. It was a much needed three points for Orlando City who are trying to keep pace with the top of the table in the Eastern Conference.

After Barcelona battled with 10 men for all but 36 minutes, two moments of brilliance from Lionel Messi led to two goals. The second coming from a through ball from Messi that Neymar calmly slotted into the opposite side netting to seal the deal at Vincente Calderon Stadium.

Bayen Munich have won the DFB Pokal for a record 18th time.
Borussia Dortmund and Bayern Munich played out an intense and draining DFB Pokal final that ended up having to go to extra time.
As expected Bayern dominated the possession and the shot count, but Dortmund would not give in to their bitter rivals and refused to back down.
Today in How You Know You’ve Hit Rock Bottom, we have match officials Marek Pilny and Jiri Jech from the Czech First League.
Pilny and Jech decided it was a good idea to show up stumbling drunk to FK Pribram vs Slavia Prague, a match they were supposed to officiate.
You may be asking yourself: how are you supposed to keep a match in line if you cannot walk in a straight line? This, it appears, was a riddle Pilny and Jech were intent on solving the hard way:
Every once in a while a soccer game erupts in a flurry of goals so breathtaking that I want to run across the globe spreading the word of what I just witnessed. It’s as if I feel a need to show the footage of what just happened to every single person who has ever said soccer is boring to watch. I want to thrust it in their faces and dare them to say it again.
The latest example of one such game comes from the Belgian Pro League, which shows that you don’t need to have the best players in the world to create a breathtaking game of soccer.
It doesn’t get any more real than this. All those stories you hear about teams gathering together and rallying at the last moment are don't only live in dreams. It’s easy to forget that, but what you are about to see will drive that point home.
