Philly Union Lose Third U.S. Open Cup Final In Five Years After Shocking Own Goal

The Houston Dynamo had a dream start in the U.S. Open Cup final thanks to Mauro Manotas. They had a dream finish thanks to the Philadelphia Union's Auston Trusty. 

Manotas scored two goals in the first half and Trusty shockingly smashed the ball into the back of his own net as the Dynamo won their first U.S. Open Cup 3-0 on Wednesday at BBVA Compass Stadium in Houston.

Lithuanian GK Scores One Of The Most Embarrassing Own Goals Imaginable

We’re going to harbor a guess that you were not watching the Bulgarian First League match between CSKA Sofia and Cherno More on Saturday. In all honesty, it probably would have been a waste of time. But it did have one of the most epic own goals we’ve ever seen.

Denmark’s Scabs Score Match-Fixy Own Goal Against Slovakia

There’s some real dumb shit going on with the Denmark national team right now. Despite international matches against Slovakia and Wales scheduled during this international break, there’s no sign of Christian Eriksen, Kasper Schmeichel or even coach Age Hareide. So the Denmark vs Slovakia friendly on Wednesday had an interesting look.

You Wrestle With Sergio Ramos, You Lose Everything

You don’t grapple with Sergio Ramos. Unless you want to damage your shoulder ligaments or score a disastrous own goal in front of 80,000 of your countrymen, just stay away from the guy.

This Has Been The Best World Cup In History; Let's Relive It

This World Cup featured the craziest group stage I’ve ever seen. I don’t know if it was the VAR, something in the Russian water or if Putin's cronies were up to something, but the 2018 edition of the world’s greatest sporting event will forever live on as one of the best. 

Aziz Bouhaddouz Must Live Like An Exile After Thumping A Last-Second Own Goal

Iran versus Morocco was awful. The return of the vuvuzela. The vintage Carlos Queiroz approach. The feeling that I really misguided folks by praising Moroccan attackers Amine Harit and Hakim Ziyech before the match. 

You Won’t Be Able To Look Away From This Compilation Of Crap Goals

Must-See Own Goal: Lovren Rips Half-Volley Off The Back Of Milner’s Head

Liverpool is almost certainly into the 2018 Champions League Final holding, at the time of writing this, a 7–3 aggregate lead over Roma. They’ve equalled Roma’s away goal tally, but they’ve also conceded a brilliant own goal involving Real Madrid’s favorite defensive liability, Dejan Lovren.

The goal was scored by the greatest playmaker the Champions League has ever seen, James Milner, and I think you can already tell how special this is.
