His finishing, his dribbling, his passing and his overall genius. Edson Arantes do Nascimento, AKA Pele, is still considered by many as the greatest footballer to ever live. This video of the best goals of Pele's career is a must watch for any soccer fan.
When you are a kid, it’s easy to get caught up in your own fantasies. You can day dream about having superpowers, find a cool looking rock and think that it has magical properties, see something totally explainable but think you’ve just witness a miracle. There are no ground rules when it comes to interpreting situations as a kid, and the situation in which these 55 kids were placed in 2013 was ridiculous to begin with. How would you react if you were seemingly between the ages of 7 and 10, and had to face two professional athletes? In soccer kids fail sometimes, but this a unheard of.
Escaping the police is a fantasy that a lot of people have. They want to feel the adrenaline rush of being chased, of running as hard as they can, of not knowing if they’ll be able to stop, and getting away with it. Eventually, most people grow out of such a fantasy, but I have a feeling this young fan escaping security isn’t one of those people.
He was an attendee at a recent Lokomotiv Moscow vs Besiktas match in the Russian top flight, and he pulled off one of the more resourceful escapes we’ve ever seen caught on camera.
There are a lot of people out there that think women aren’t good at soccer, that think even the professional women playing soccer aren’t good at playing soccer. Let this clip, and Alex Morgan show them how wrong they are. It portrays nothing less than Alex Morgan’s best goal.
As if it weren’t impressive already, while everyone watching is all like...
...Alex Morgan is just smirkin’ like a fool at Alex Morgan's best goal.
HOOOOOOOOOO-K. What the hell have I just witnessed? The YouTube title told me that Cesar Martinez of the Venezuelan side Zamora was going to make the ball levitate, and I guess I don’t know what I was expecting, because I wasn’t expecting to watch him actually make the ball levitate. When did soccer become another edition of David Blain Street Magic? The only magic I’m supposed to see on the pitch is done with feet and is easily discernible in slow motion. This magic celebration, it’s something else entirely.
As William Shakespeare said, some are born great, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon them. Or, in the case of this midfield game winner from amateur Dutch side VV Capelle against FC Dordrecht in the Dutch Cup, some steal greatness from a pit of mediocrity and exhaustion.
“Achieve” just doesn’t have the same ring to it.
When Arsenal are playing well, their passes are crisp, they're holding possession and they score beautiful goals that keep Arsene Wenger from actually getting a legit striker. With that said, this Arsenal goal vs Norwich in 2013 was a masterpiece. The Jack Wilshere and Olivier Giroud link up displayed tikki-takka football at its finest and it arguably was the best goal of that 2013 campaign. Lets break it down.
Cristiano Ronaldo has a new pair of boots coming out, and, consequently, Nike and Ronaldo are really ramping up the advertising campaign. The Nike Mercurial Superfly was supposedly inspired by Ronaldo's home island in Portugal, Madeira, as this video shows.
What troubles us is the phrase "these boots have goals." We don't know what it means. It could mean any number of things.
Aspiring referees, pay close attention. Valenciennes’ Saliou Ciss committed nearly every single bookable offense in the space of one minute. Some of his misdemeanors, including flipping the stretcher that was sent to his aid, aren't even recognized in the rule book.
After being sent off for collecting a second yellow card against Brest in a French Ligue 2 match, Ciss absolutely lost it. Ciss isn't slowing down, or stopping, for anyone (teammates included).
We have some very exciting news on a hot prospect out of the United States who runs like the wind, has quick feet and shifty movement. That's because the hot prospect is a deer. A soccer deer.
No, this isn't a movie about a cute fury animal that thinks it's people excelling at a people sport, like Air Bud. Air Bud is fiction. This is real.
