Sometimes the world just falls into place, and something happens that makes you say "this feels right, this feels like it belongs." One such event happened recently when noted Cristiano Ronaldo enthusiast Cristiano Ronaldo attempted to break the world selfie record at the premier of his new movie about his life.
We, the general football-consuming public, have always assumed the Messi-Ronaldo rivalry was like this:

But, in a recent interview, Cristiano Ronaldo has implied the relationship between him and Messi is more like this:
Injured shoulder? Psh. This Sergio Ramos bicycle kick shows that the Madrid captain care more about scoring epic golazo's then some ailing shoulding. Ramos had already missed six games due to the injury and has played in a handful of matches (Atlético, Celta, Sevilla and Champions League games against PSG) thanks to taking cortisone shots before matches. That only makes this goal more badass considering Ramos the fact that it sounds like Ramos should is about to fall off.
What we know and don’t know can influence us all, it can change our perceptions and then change our opinions. That’s the kind of change Brenda Perez and the Spanish television show El Hormiguero had in mind when they dressed up Perez, a 21-year-old professional footballer, as a man and then set her loose in a men’s amateur match. They are smart, because few things alter your opinion more than seeing a young woman school a men’s team.
Neymar scored two goals during Barcelona’s 3-0 victory over Villareal Sunday. He also changed the lives of anyone watching who hadn’t understood what it means to watch a truly great Brazilian goal; his second goal on the day was absurd, absolutely absurd, the kind of thing that makes people tell themselves, “OK, I need to get whatever channel shows Barcelona matches so I can watch as much of this as possible.”

Sometimes greatness happens by accident. That is exactly what happened when Philipp Schobesberger fell flat on his face en route to a superb finish, that honestly should land him on the Puskas. Okay, maybe his goal shouldn't be on the Puskas watchlist, but it was clinical and it deceived everyone involved, including himself. But we're just going to pretend that he planned the entire thing and that is was the best goal of the year.
Once in a long while you witness a ridiculous goal that captures the imagination with its stunning technique or simply vicious power. Rapid Wien's Philipp Schobesberger has provided us with a mesmerizing goal that defies all of those precedents.
After a 2-0 victory in the Emirates against Bayern Munich in the last Champions League match, you knew Pep Guardiola's lads were going come out firing against the Gunners from North London. In all honestly, a 5-1 drubbing against the leaders from the EPL wasn't really that much of a surprise considering in Bayern's last 5 home matches, they have outscored opponents 24-3. The best goal from the match was David Alaba's beautiful curler that honestly put the nail in the coffin in the 44th minute.
Kolo Toure is known as the nicest man in football, and he is certainly one of the more entertaining footballers we have come across.
What makes Kolo so great? No longer is it his footballing skills, which have, sadly, diminished with age (father time is undefeated, after all) — he has three appearances for Liverpool this season, and has come off injured in every one — rather, it's his winning personality and sense of the moment.
