The art of flopping is attempted by many, mastered by few. Only the greats like Neymar and Arjen Robben can place themselves upon the Mount Rushmore of flops as their admirers can merely attempt to recreate their mastery.

One Kansas football player has put his name on the ballot for the best flop of 2023. During a bowl game between Kansas and the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, the Jayhawk player summoned his inner Neymar after being lightly touched on the sideline.

If you think back to some of your angriest moments in life, what did you do? Throw something? Kick a wall? Take your anger out on someone else? Luis García, the manager of LaLiga club Alavés, did all three of those on Thursday during a furious temper tantrum.

Alavés sit just three points clear of the relegation zone and were minutes away from securing a big 0-0 draw vs. Real Madrid at home. García’s side had performed admirably and had a man-advantage after Nacho was given a red card in the 54th minute.

Tigres may have lost 3-0 in extra time of the Liga MX final to Club América on Sunday, but the club’s goalkeeper Nahuel Guzmán was the big winner on the internet. Guzmán hiding under a tarp to watch the game after receiving a red card was amazing.

Let’s set the scene really quick. The situation was the two Liga MX clubs playing in the second leg of the final with the aggregate at 1-1. After 90 minutes the game went into extra time and Tigres were down a man after winger and substitute Raymundo Fulgencio saw red in the 80th minute.

When you think of the worst flops in soccer you think of names like Neymar and Arjen Robben. A recently unearthed Aston Villa Micah Richards flop might join the Mount Rushmore of flops.

The ridiculous flop was shown during CBS’ coverage of the Champions League with Kate Abdo, Thierry Henry, Jamie Carragher and Richards. Liverpool legend Carragher was critical of Manchester City youngster Micah Hamilton flopping during the game vs. Red Star Belgrade.

United States men’s national team and PSV defender Sergiño Dest is loving life at his new club and playing with supreme confidence. The Dest nutmeg vs Arsenal from Tuesday’s Champions League game is a prime example.

During the game, Dest bested Arsenal’s Jakub Kiwior with a nutmeg that looked like it was straight out of an old “Jogo Bonito” video. Destinho was cooking with his move.

What made the skill move even better was his teammates’ reactions to the nutmeg.

The euphoric celebrations of US Revel after the sixth-tier club were drawn against the might of Paris Saint-Germain in the French Cup this week showed what it means for amateur players just to be on the same pitch as world class talents like Kylian Mbappe.

Footage of the players and staff bouncing around and yelling with joy went viral after Monday's Round of 64 draw paired the French champions with the team from an area of the southwest of the country better known for rugby.

Cucho Hernández put on a historic performance for the Columbus Crew this weekend for what he did with the ball, and somewhat of another historic performance for what he did off of it. Bring him the MVP and Oscar award.

Italy legend and now manager of Serie B side Sampdoria Andrea Pirlo led his team to a 2-0 victory on Saturday. The celebrations were quite intense as you can watch as a player shakes Pirlo quite aggressively after coming off.

A Hamburg goalkeeper own goal is going viral after shot stopper Daniel Fernandes and his defense had a complete meltdown in front of goal.

Let’s set the scene real quick. Friday’s game was a derby between Hamburg and St. Pauli, the two big clubs in Hamburg and the top two sides in the 2. Bundesliga. Friday’s game was for more than cross-town bragging rights as a win for Hamburg would tie them on points for the No. 1 spot.

In a game that big you think the players would be locked in. This Hamburg goalkeeper own goal in the 27th minute would make you think otherwise.

Fans of Scottish club Aberdeen landed themselves in trouble Thursday night after they kept throwing snowballs at HJK’s goalkeeper during a Europa Conference League game.

The game was played in Helsinki, Finland, and it was a brutally cold contest with the snow coming down and temperatures in the low 20s.

Aberdeen fans weren’t on their best behavior and with their team trailing 2-1 in the second half, they decided to entertain themselves with some target practice.
