For a moment, Gonzalo Bueno on the Uruguayan U20 national team saw his dreams laid out in front of him. He got on the end of a perfect pass, played it brilliantly, got past a defender and a goalkeeper without even touching the ball. The net was gaping and it must have felt like something out of a childhood fantasy. Perhaps that thought was too mesmerizing, because instead of scoring, he made a fool of himself.

Cristiano Ronaldo should be thrilled. He won his fourth European Golden Shoe, awarded to the leading scorer in all of Euope's domestic leagues. 

He might not be thrilled, though, because there was one member of the audience who couldn't care less what he won: his son.

Cristiano Ronaldo's son flipped the bird at his dad during Cristiano's acceptance speech. Though the gesture was quickly twarted, the cameras caught the devious act.

Ronaldo's son might be in for a time-out.

Many small children, like Cristiano Ronaldo's son, as a consequence of having been able to talk for only a very short time, have speech impediments. The vast majority of these children grow out of it (and if they don't there is nothing wrong with that) and grow up to be adults whose parents show them videos of them trying to talk as a small child and everybody has a good laugh.

One such occasion occurred recently in Cristiano Ronaldo's life. A leaked portion of his new documentary shows his son, Cristiano Jr., trying, and struggling, to say his own name at his father's request.

Donald Trump is in the media a lot, and a lot of those times he's in the media because of something he said about Mexico/Mexican people/immigration that lots of people found offensive.

Because of this, Mexican TV station TV Azteca made a commercial with Donald Trump to pump up fans for the CONCACAF Cup final last Saturday.

After the goal he scored Saturday, Paul Aguilar can celebrate however he wants. He scored the biggest goal in one of the biggest games of the year for his country, and that gives him a significant amount of leeway in terms of whether or not we make fun of his goal celebration. 

And, it appears to us, Aguilar was so deliriously happy after the goal that he lost all sense of reason/safety/self-preservation. 

In a rare moment of emotion, Cristiano Ronaldo revealed how former Manchester United manager Sir Alex Reguson won the Portuguese superstar over: compassion.

Really, it's not compassion, it's just acting like a person. You should be able to visit your dad in the hospital without work standing in the way. A lot of managers nowadays it seems feel that football is the only thing that matters. Everything else is secondary.

A phantom goal sounds like a power up in Mario Soccer (or should I say Super Mario Strikers), as in it sounds like the ball turned into some sort of ghost and diffused into the back of the net. It sounds pretty sweet, really, but sadly there are no ghosts involved in this real life phantom goal. 

It was scored by Bayer Leverkusen’s Stefan Kiessling against Hoffenheim in the Bundesliga, and while there are no ghosts, it certainly seems to defy explanation at first. 

This next clip goes beyond a simple rivalry between two countries; it is bigger than Mexico vs the United States. Think hard on something that you have wanted in life, and then ask yourself getting it could ever compare to the emotional high this man hits.

Now, we are not television executives, but we just watched FOX Soccer's Donald Trump USMNT commercial, and inserting a political figure who has come out strongly against Mexican immigrants and advocated for the closing of the border (whatever that means – hang a "hey this border's closed" sign on it, I guess?) into the middle of a rivalry match between the USA and Mexico for the purpose of hyping up USA fans wasn't the best idea of all time.
