His Goal Inspired The World In 2014. Watch Him Score The Worst Own Goal Of 2015.

Robin van Persie used to be good at soccer. No really, he did. That, however, seems like a long time ago, especially after the events of this past weekend. It seems he has scored what looks at first glance to be an intentional own goal, but in reality, he’s just a pitiful fool. Not sure if that’s any better.

The Keeper Went To Kick The Ball As Usual. He Was Crushed By What He Ended Up Doing.

Este es un clásico gol en tu propia puerta, y es realmente desafortunado que esto suceda. No puedo decirles cuántas veces he visto a un portero ir a recoger un pase trasero sólo para encontrar el balón saltando justo por encima de su pie. Un trozo de hierba o césped es el culpable, y eso casi lo empeora.

Se necesita una increíble cantidad de mala suerte para que un trozo de hierba pateado aterrice en un lugar donde pueda hacer saltar un balón al aire. Si el universo pudiera hablar, susurraría "j*dete" cada vez que ocurra. 

He Had The Whole Net To Aim For, But Somehow The Keeper Saved His Shot…Twice.

For a moment, Gonzalo Bueno on the Uruguayan U20 national team saw his dreams laid out in front of him. He got on the end of a perfect pass, played it brilliantly, got past a defender and a goalkeeper without even touching the ball. The net was gaping and it must have felt like something out of a childhood fantasy. Perhaps that thought was too mesmerizing, because instead of scoring, he made a fool of himself.

This Phantom Goal Will Make You Believe In Magic. Until You See How It Happened.

A phantom goal sounds like a power up in Mario Soccer (or should I say Super Mario Strikers), as in it sounds like the ball turned into some sort of ghost and diffused into the back of the net. It sounds pretty sweet, really, but sadly there are no ghosts involved in this real life phantom goal. 

It was scored by Bayer Leverkusen’s Stefan Kiessling against Hoffenheim in the Bundesliga, and while there are no ghosts, it certainly seems to defy explanation at first. 

Ronaldo Scored His Best Goal Ever Against Spain. How It Got Taken Away Is Infuriating.

All of you remember Lionel Messi’s goal against Bayern Munich in last year’s Champions League semifinals. It was an absolute destruction of one of the world’s best teams, and arguably the greatest goal Messi ever scored. You might be surprised to find out that Ronaldo had a similar goal. It was the best Ronaldo goal ever scored, or it would have been, had it counted. 

5 Years Ago, The Most Pathetic Defending Ever Left Three Defenders Injured On The Ground.

Here at The18, we are fully aware that most people who don’t like soccer can count the tendency of players to “make the most” out of contact among the reasons that they don’t like the game.

You know, someone gets a kick to the back to the leg — a foul definitely, but nothing crazy — and all of the sudden they are rolling 10 feet along the ground. It’s annoying, even for a seasoned fan. So, the following video probably won’t convert many people to the game…

The Keeper Hit Him With The Perfect Pass. What He Did With It Was Painful.

Sergio Aguero is a frustrating striker for Manchester City fans. He’s ridiculously good when he’s on form, but he just isn’t on form all that often. Injuries have often been to blame, but that doesn’t make him any less inconsistent.

Fue a por la gloria. Y ahora es famoso en Internet por la razón equivocada.

Roberto Carlos podría ser el mejor lanzador de tiros libres de todos los tiempos en la historia del fútbol. Esta no es una opinión impopular ni poco común.

Pero Roberto se ha ido, ejerciendo su profesión en el exilio futbolístico en la India, con sus habilidades erosionadas por los vientos y las arenas del tiempo. Y así, mientras estas cosas pasan, debemos buscar un heredero.

The Team Captain Was Caught Drunk Driving, This Celebration Made Everything Worse.

So Viktoria Plzeň's David Limbersky is a class A idiot, and he absolutely does not give a single f***. We’re about to find out how that last part is going for him real soon. Limbersky is apparently attempting to see how much he can try the patience of the Prague Police Department, or at least that’s what it seems like.  

She Swung To Clear The Ball, And Ended The Game In Less Than 3 Minutes.

This…is unfortunate. I am absolutely sure that during the 5 minutes immediately after the following ordeal, defender Helen Eke probably wanted to crawl into the nearest small dark space and stay there until the laws of physics and the slow crawl of inevitability transported her to the other side of the planet.
