On a day when we've questioned everything and discussed some of the stranger red card offenses in the history of the game, this should come as no surprise. In Sunday's draw between Greece and Bosnia we witnessed one of the most ridiculous red cards of all-time. The culprit was Bosnia striker Edin Dzeko, who earned a second yellow by stripping Greece's Sokratis.
It's normal to high five your teammates or jump for joy after scoring a goal — everyone has their own way of celebrating. These players took their celebrations to the next level and were quickly penalized for their actions.
We are not entirely sure what to make of this. At first glance, Kevin McCallister and Cristiano Ronaldo would seem to not have much in common, but here we are. The difference, of course, is when Kevin got left home he was like 12 and Cristiano is a 31-year-old grown man.
Also, Cristiano doing the pizza-ordering gun-shooting trick thing? Cristiano Ronaldo would never order a pizza. Have you seen him? We do not believe Cristiano Ronaldo has ever eaten a pizza in his life, or even knows what pizza is.
Polish striker Adam Fraczczak just wasn’t himself out there. The guy was playing like Betty White while the opposition, Lechia Gdansk, enjoyed a 1-0 lead. His teammates were on his back, but Fraczczak just couldn't get going while his tummy rumbled.
Thankfully, on the stroke of halftime, Fraczczak’s club, Pogon Szczecin, got a lifeline by earning a penalty.
Jermaine Jones ha proporcionado la mayor fuente de "material de cartelera" desde el vestidor de México al lanzar una evaluación mordaz del mexicano Javier 'Chicharito' Hernández. Si bien Jones dice que no etiquetaría a Chicharito como un "jugador sucio", sí cree que la afición del delantero mexicano por jugar directamente en la línea de fuera de juego lo convierte en algo molesto para enfrentarlo.
Bastian Schweinsteiger has yet to appear for Manchester United this season. The German midfielder returned to first team training recently (after being forced to train alone), reportedly to get in shape for a possible January move.
It can't be easy for Schweinsteiger to go through this situation with United, which he has said will be his last club in Europe. That's why we're glad to see Schweinsteiger getting some fresh air and light exercise, as well as keeping his spirits up, by going for a walk.
Messi used to have an intricate sleeve tattoo on his shin. Remember that?
Now, he has something very special and different: a black thing. We really can't think of a name for it. It is black. It is very black. It covers almost his entire lower leg (he kept the number 10 and some other stuff).

Hi, and welcome to Canada! We’re sooorry about what happened in your general election, but don’t say we didn’t warn you — what, with your love of s***-kickers and deking social responsibility. We gave the world Justin Bieber, sure, but you’ve responded in turn with your new president — I wouldn’t say that we’re even. Just admit that you made a massive mistake in leaving the monarchy, and we’ll leave it at that.
