Pitch Invader Showers Himself In Beer, Gets Laid Out By NFL-Worthy Hit
Sunday’s 1-1 draw between Newcastle United and Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park kept both teams rooted in the Premier League’s 10-team relegation scrap, and perhaps that was the motivation for this pitch invader’s attempt to literally drown his sorrows on the field.
The man’s antics included pouring beer all over his face, going on a short jog before getting absolutely truck-sticked by a vigilant steward and then offering a flurry of wanker gestures and Bronx salutes while being escorted from the ground. What a day out.
FC Utrecht Player Received One Of The Oddest Second Yellows We’ve Ever Seen
Ajax played at FC Utrecht on Sunday in the Eredivisie, a scoreless draw that was relatively unremarkable — except for the exploits of one Lukas Görtler. Utrecht’s German striker Görtler was sent off for a second yellow card, despite having been substituted off the pitch more than 30 minutes prior.
Shocking Tackle On Man City's Leroy Sané Draws Ire Of German National Team Twitter
Manchester City winger Leroy Sané is one of the most exciting young players in the world, with the pace, dribbling and finishing to terrify any defense. He could be a breakout star for Germany at the 2018 World Cup, assuming he doesn’t break his leg first. Joe Bennett’s Leroy Sané tackle looked like it might have caused serious damage to the German on Sunday and the German national team’s Twitter account stood up for its player.
How Did Defenders Stop Pelé? By Kicking The Ever-Loving Tar Out Of Him
Ever wondered how defenders in the 60s and 70s coped with Pelé, perhaps the greatest player of all time? Defending Pelé was really quite simple: They kicked the sh*t out of him. And pushed him around. And threw him to the ground. And kicked him a few dozen more times.
Pelé scored 767 goals over his storied career but he would have had more were it not for the physical play of defenders who quickly realized the only hope they had to stop Pelé was to foul him.
Kevin De Bruyne Doesn't Get Mad. He Gets Even.
Tottenham faced a league-leading Manchester City side on Saturday and tried to neutralize them with physical play. It did not go well. It especially did not go well when Dele Alli stomped on the ankle of Kevin De Bruyne. Like a midfield incarnation of Maximus Decimus Meridius, Kevin De Bruyne had his vengeance and it was oh so sweet.
Andres Andrade Gets A Man Sent Off For Violent Conduct After Violently Dribbling Him
El sábado, León derrotó a Tigres 1 a 0 con un gol del internacional mexicano Elías Hernández, pero la mayor parte de la acción del partido ocurrió en el minuto 88, cuando el alero Andrés Andrade realizó un regate digno del apodo del club, la Fiera.
Andrés Andrade dejó a Jorge Torres, jugador de Tigres en el suelo dos veces, en el espacio de cuatro segundos. Torres respondió intentando rebanarle el tendón de Aquiles a Andrade, pero la premeditada violencia del defensor sólo sirvió para resaltar el destrozo que Andrade había provocado.

El placaje desgarrador de ano de Javier Mascherano provoca la victoria del Barcelona
Con la ópera de traspasos de Ousmane Dembele empeorando y Luis Suárez de baja hasta cinco semanas por una lesión de rodilla, el Barcelona abrió su campaña en La Liga el domingo con Lionel Messi asumiendo el peso de la ambición ofensiva de su equipo.
Pero la jugada del día no la brindó Messi, la brindó el único compañero argentino en el que puede confiar, Javier Mascherano.
