Nainggolan Sends Zlatan And Sweden Packing

As Sweden failed to find the back of the net for the 2nd straight game, their looming elimination became a reality in the 84th minute when Nainggolan packed their bags for them with a screamer. With many chances getting denied in their group stage run, the only goal they scored was actually an own goal by the Irish. It was a bummer to see such a legend like Zlatan go out without a win in his final major international tournament but Belgium made them pay. A beautiful moment of Zlatan playing his last game in yellow and blue is the end of an era. 

Ladies And Gentlemen, The King: Lionel Messi

Big players come to play on the big stage. And that is sure what Messi did last Tuesday in case you missed it. After an early Argentina goal, it was Messi's turn in the 32nd minute to break American hearts and shatter their hopes of making the Copa America final on their home soil. The United States were sure excited to see Messi play in North America but were they expecteing a free kick of this difficulty and expertise. Of course they were, it's Messi, but what a treat it was to watch him play against the US.

It’s Rare That A Pitch Invader Is Broadcast on TV. This One Was Hilarious

Don’t get me wrong, the first half of the Chile Colombia 2016 Copa America semi-final was really exciting. There were goals, and Chile pretty much ran rampant all over Colombia. But then halftime happened, there was a rain delay, and the second half didn’t until over two hours had passed.

By the time it restarted, both teams were over it. The game was boring, a waste of time. Until, that is, a pitch invader decided to run onto the field. 

The LA Galaxy Ended An Amateur Team’s Cup Run In The Most Bogus Way Possible

The MLS did its reputation no favors in the US Open Cup the other day, by doing itself a favor. The LA Galaxy faced off against La Maquina FC, what a mounts to a 5th division club, and needed a despicable goal to win.

That was perfectly legal, by the way.

The Galaxy went on to win the game 4-1 in extra time, but really, are they the winners here?

Jogi Low Keeps Rubbing His Hand In Places He Shouldn't Then Sniffing it

First there was this from Germany manager Jogi Low.

Then there was this.

And now there's another one.

The Commentary On Iceland's Winning Goal Against Austria Will Melt Your Face Off

Iceland are the toast of Euro 2016. They made it out of the group stage undefeated (only the third team to do that in their Euro debut) and beat Austria, a team that features one of the best young players in the world, Bayern Munich's David Alaba.

Iceland will face England on Monday to go to the quarterfinals, a match that Roy Hodgson's men will be heavily favored in by people who aren't fans of either team.

Northern Ireland Survive German Siege To Keep Tournament Hopes Alive, Despite Losing 1-0

Northern Ireland vs. Germany finished 1-0 in favor of Die Mannschaft, but it could have been so much worse.

Germany could have ended the first half 5-0 in front, but Northern Ireland held on, thanks in large part to the performance of goalkeeper Michael McGovern, who made seven magnificent saves throughout the match.

The result sees Germany top Group C, while Northern Ireland's ability to keep the score down means they are very much still alive in this competition. 

Turkey Smash Czechs Out Of Euro 2016, But It May Be Too Little, Too Late

The Czech Republic vs. Turkey kicked off with both teams needing to win in order to give themselves a chance to progress.

An opening goal from Burak Yilmaz, followed by a rocket from Ozan Tufan gave Turkey a 2-0 victory, knocking the Czechs out of the competition.

Despite the win, it may not be enough for Turkey to progress, as they sit third with three points and a goal differential of negative two. 

Poland Reaches The Knockout Rounds Courtesy To A Blaszczykowski Screamer

As Poland's stars failed to convert in Poland's match Tuesday, it was a substitute, Jakub Blaszczykowsk, that made the difference. Starting the 2nd half, it took Blaszczykowsk just 9 minutes to impact the game. Poland took a short corner that led to Milik picking out Jakub in the box where he eventually fired a left footed rip that was a top corner seeker. Poland advances to the knockout rounds as 2nd in the group behind Germany where they will face Switzerland. An exciting moment for the Polish as they eliminate Ukraine from the Euros and continue their run. 

Perisic Buries Spain With A Late Winner

Potentially one of the biggest roller coaster games to take place in the Euros so far, Spain v. Croatia was a thriller. A 1-1 deadlock would have been broken if Sergio Ramos would have been able to convert from the spot but failed to do so as Danijel Subasic made a strong save to keep Croatia alive. Momentum shifts were evident throughout the game but in the end it was Croatia with the higher inensity and energy that won them the game and Group D.
