Commenting on Zinedine Zidane, Real Madrid great Alfredo Di Stéfano once said, “he dominates the ball, he is a walking spectacle and he plays as if he had silk gloves on each foot.” Zidane, World Cup, European Championship and UEFA Champions League winner, took a little time out of his day to effectively demonstrate these observations on some unsuspecting French amateurs.

So far this season, Liverpool FC have dominated Manchester City at Manchester City, done the same thing to Chelsea, been the first team to hold Leicester City scoreless, gone to penalties with a fourth division team, lost twice to West Ham, beat Southampton 6-1 and lost to Newcastle at home.

In short, Liverpool's season makes no sense. At least, that's what we thought. And then we found this video of Martin Skrtel wearing a mechanical turkey hat. And everything made sense.

I’ve said it before and I’ve said it again, the best reactions to goals come from South America, Central America, Spain and Eastern Europe. The whole crowd just gets so stoked. You can literally hear everyone in the stadium simultaneously say “OOOOOOOHHHHHH!!!!” Yelling “YEAH” or “YES” just isn’t the same. It’s as if everyone wants to scream “OH MY GOD!” but just can’t get past the first syllable.

Andy Yiadom must have, like, had a fight with his girl or something right before this game. That's the only thing we can think of to explain the level of confusion and misplaced rage demonstrated in this video.

Either that or he was on hold with Comcast.

The video starts out so normally, with Yiadom just standing there in the wall like a good boy. But then a Northampton Town player runs forward and then Yiadom runs forward and then AAAARRRRGGGHHHH ANGER AND RAGE.

Most of the time when you see a team bearing down on goal like Legia Warsaw is about to do in this next video, you expect to be thrilled. The speed of play involved pushes players to their absolute limits. Success is a matter of passing with pinpoint accuracy, maintaining composure, and knowing when to finish.  Anything less results in a wasted opportunity. 

This is a remarkable video. We're not sure what took place beforehand for striker Javier Villaseca of Argentinian club San Martin de Mendoza to be stripped pf his shirt and in an exceedingly ornery mood (we would guess, because the riot police are on the field, that it was some kind of riot), but we are sure that when you are in an exceedingly ornery mood you shouldn't go running wildly at police officers.

You didn't think cats can play soccer? Cats can play soccer.

This cat would start for like 15 different teams in the Premier League right now.

Some managers yell. Some managers scream. Some managers jump up and down. Some managers wave their arms everywhere. Some managers (Klopp) do all of those things at the same time. Some managers just cross their arms and give you the stink eye.

There are many different approaches to managing, each with its own set of positives and negatives.

One style of managing that we didn't know existed until recently is the nutmeg method. Check it out.
