Neymar went to a Mets game for some reason. During his visit to Citi field the Brazil National Team captain decided to try his luck in the batting cages. It went about as well as you'd expect from a person who makes his living with his feet and not his hands.
Reports have been flying around that Real Madrid have seen a €50 million offer for fullback David Alaba rebuffed by Bayern Munich. Apparently, that monumental figure was enough to throw the Austrian off his game because he just did this in a friendly for Austria against Malta.
Andrea Pirlo and David Villa are coming to be a pair of human highlight reels. On Sunday afternoon around the 66th minute, Pirlo played a miraculous ball from just over half that led to a brilliant finish from Villa. David Villa made this finish look easy but it is far from that. Hats off to these two for providing us with yet another WOW moment.
The build up surrounding Poland’s Euro 2016 Championship campaign has been relatively quiet, and the Poles and their captain Robert Lewandowski certainly won’t be bothered by that. After capturing third place at the 1982 World Cup in Spain, this is a country that has had very little success on the biggest of international stages.
Roberto Carlos struck the greatest free kick the world had ever seen against France at the 1997 Tournoi de France. Unable to classify the actions of the Brazilian, the description “banana free kick” entered the soccer dictionary. Now, 17 years later, a Brazilian compatriot named Anderson Pico has once again accomplished the impossible.
Santos's U-20 goalie scored the kind of goal that dreams are made of.
What kind of dream, you ask?
Well, we didn't say it wasn't a nightmare. Take a gander.
INCREDIBLE(!) own goal by Santos-youngster Robson earlier tonight to give Atl. Mineiro u20 the lead over Santos u20. pic.twitter.com/vWM14ynVgg

Do you remember the first time soccer blew your mind? For me, it was Ronaldinho. Not even a specific clip, just Ronaldinho in general. The more and more I watched of him the more I realized that my understanding of soccer was so timidly different than what was really possible that it practically hurt; I needed to watch more highlights, and I swear I got high from them.
I thought the days of Ronaldinho blowing my mind were done, but this one goal, this legendary goal that many of you have already seen before, has come back to do it again:
As Ian Darke would say: "Goal Goal USA!" The USA utilized their substitute Darlington Nagbe to the best of scenarios. Nagbe scoring his first goal for the United States, clinched the victory for the Americans in the 90th minute to beat Ecuador in an international friendly. An exciting moment for him and the USA as they prepare for Copa America.
It’s always a little daunting when someone tells you to watch 100 of something. This is the internet after all, where people will make a video on the 100 best trance songs and it will receive 260,000 views; just because 100 of something exists does not mean you, or most people, will enjoy going through it all. This is a problem that I was immediately faced with when I saw that rom7ooo had made a video of the 100 best goals of the year.
It’s that time of year. YouTube publishers are pushing out their end of the season round-ups of the best we have seen this year, whether it be skills, goals, or celebrations. It’s an exciting time to be a soccer fan, and a dangerous time if you are one of the many people that gobbles up these videos like crack cocaine.
