Sevilla’s Joris Gnagnon Apologizes For Horror Tackle On Liverpool Prodigy

It was the sort of tackle in which the final verdict would be better suited to a courtroom; a straight red card certainly doesn’t seem like enough justice for an act of violence perpetrated with the sole intention of seriously injuring another player.

During yesterday’s “friendly” between Sevilla and Liverpool at Fenway Park in Boston, Sevilla’s Joris Gnagnon was handed his marching orders in the 76th minute for this assault on 18-year-old Liverpool winger Yasser Larouci.

Huddersfield Has Done It: Worst Kit Of 2019 Widely Panned By Fans

(Editor's note: See update at bottom.)

Generally, it’s a stable source of income for clubs. It’s a simple formula: release new kits, fans buy said kits, make money.

But Huddersfield Town, recently relegated from the Premier League, forgot one key step: Don’t make the new kit look like shit.

Fans will buy just about anything to support their club, but there is a line. It appears Huddersfield and kit supplier Umbro have crossed that line with the 2019-20 home kit, which was released Wednesday.

Tunisia’s Horror Own Goal Sends Sadio Mané’s Senegal Into AFCON Final

Senegal has advanced to its first Africa Cup of Nations final in 19 years after defeating Tunisia 1-0 after extra time in Cairo, Egypt. Both sides had chances to seal victory in regular time with penalties, but the goalkeepers came up big to send the match to an additional 30. From there, it was a comedic own goal that proved the difference.

SC Braga, Famous For Its Bonkers Stadium, Now Has A Fitting Jersey To Match

Outside of Portugal, SC Braga is most widely known for one thing: the club’s home ground of Estádio Municipal de Braga. It was constructed in 2003 as a venue for UEFA Euro 2004, and it’s incredibly striking because it was carved from the Monte do Castro quarry that overlooks the city of Braga. In fact, the backdrop to one of the goals is the quarry’s rock wall. 

You love to see it. 

Mario Balotelli Pays Man To Drive Moped Into Sea In His Tighty Whities

Mario Balotelli is enjoying his summer.

On Saturday, the Italian striker posted an Instagram video of a man he apparently paid €2,000 ($2,246 USD) to ride his moped into the ocean.

We’re not sure if Balotelli required this man to do it in his tighty whities or the man just didn’t want to get his clothes wet, but what followed was the exact thing social media was created for.

Zlatan ‘Irbahimovic’ Scores Twice In Misspelled Jersey

The Fourth of July is a time for unnecessary parades, celebrating overzealous patriotism with the sounds of war and relaxing with a cold beer in the hot sun followed by binge-watching Season 3 of Stranger Things.

It is not, apparently, a time for spelling names correctly.

The LA Galaxy defeated Toronto FC 2-0 on Thursday night, an appropriate celebration of the United States’ Independence Day as one of the league’s standard bearers defeated the best Canadian club. But the two goals were scored by a Swede whose name was remarkably misspelled on his own jersey.

16-Year-Old Scores Beautiful Chip, Called Back By VAR

It was to no one's surprise that the Seattle Sounders were short-handed during this international break. What has made it worse is that injuries have started to pile up as well. All of this played into Saturday's match against the Vancouver Whitecaps, where only five of their usual starting XI featured. This meant that the Sounders had to rely heavily on their youth.

Up stepped 16-year-old Danny Leyva.

Drunk Wesley Sneijder Causes $7K Damage To Car By Dancing On It

Is Wesley Sneijder having a midlife crisis or just enjoying himself a bit too much?

The Dutch international and former Ajax, Real Madrid and Inter Milan star was arrested for damaging a vehicle by drunkenly dancing on it.

Sneijder reportedly caused €6,000 euros (about $6,834 USD) in damage when he jumped on top of a vehicle in a drunken state. 

Japanese Player Gets Clocked In The Face During Warmups

Japan, as evidenced by the first goal it scored against the Netherlands on Tuesday, is one of the most technically gifted footballing nations on the planet. The Nadeshiko combine wonderfully and, at times, appear to harmoniously coexist on the same wavelength. 

But that wasn’t the case during Tuesday’s warmup before a Round-of-16 encounter with the Netherlands. This is the rondo from hell.
