A non-league match in England between Glossop North End and Ramsbottom FC yielded one of the greatest renditions of the playground prank referred to as “table topping” that you’ll ever see.
The “table top”, as defined by urban dictionary, is when “an innocent bystander is standing up. Someone gets on their hands and knees behind them and another person pushes them, making them fall on their a**.”
Legia Warsaw’s Champions League opener against Borussia Dortmund couldn’t have gone any worse for the Polish club. On top of being defeated 6-0, they’ve been retroactively charged by UEFA with six offenses stemming from crowd trouble.
Fireworks, allegations of racist chanting and ultras armed with pepper spray all contributed to the charges. Warsaw ultras were captured on camera trying to break into the away section armed with pepper spray. Their attempt was rebuffed by stadium security, but the stewards tasked with holding the ultras back suffered the brunt of the violence.
Having lost Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Kim Kallstrom and their manager Erik Hamren after Euro 2016, Sweden still managed to draw with the Netherlands in Stockholm.
For the Netherlands, their only possible excuse is that they’re now terrible. With nine more qualifying matches still to play, the Dutch have time to improve, it’s just difficult to foresee where that improvement will come from.
There's a soccer moose on the loose in Colorado and it's doing stepovers like a hairy Cristiano Ronaldo with antlers.
Just call it Moose-a Sissoko. Or Moose-a Dembele. Or Ahmed Moose-a.

Para los oponentes de la pretemporada de la Universidad de Missouri-St. Louis Tritons, esto no es lo que llamarías un comienzo de ensueño. A los 4,49 segundos del partido, se encuentran con una derrota por 1-0 ante la UMSL gracias a este maravilloso gol de la mediocampista/adelantera de los Tritones, Kayla Delgado.
La guardameta rival está de pie sobre su área de 18 yardas mientras el árbitro da el pistoletazo de salida, presumiblemente muy emocionada por ponerse en marcha bajo el brillante sol de Missouri.
Everyone’s got a soft spot in their heart for AS Roma, apart from Lazio supporters of course. The club represents the Eternal City, the Italian capital with a history spanning more than two and a half thousand years. Its standing as one of the birthplaces of Western civilization makes anyone’s three-day visit turn into conversational fodder for the rest of their lifetime.
