Only These Hikers And Jerome Boateng Know The True Meaning Of Fear

There was a moment in the Copa America Cenenario when I saw 11 men realize the true meaning of fear. It was in the semifinal between the United States and Argentina. Argentina were up 1-0 and had just won a free kick in a dangerous area. Lionel Messi stood over the ball as Brad Guzan set up his wall. Then Messi bent down and tied his shoes. It was the most terrifying thing I've seen in my life. You knew right then that he was going to score and there was nothing the USA could do about it.

Watch Colo Colo Players Walk Out With Dogs Up For Adoption

Dogs are good. Soccer dogs are especially good. A soccer team walking on the field with soccer dogs instead of children as mascots is just so incredibly good we can't even contain ourselves.

Chilean side Colo Colo walked out with some soccer dogs looking to be adopted before Colo Colo's match against Antofagasta. The match ended in a 0-0 draw, but my guess is no one noticed because they were entranced by the good dogs.

Scientists Taught Bees How To Play Soccer

In a study recently published in the journal Science, scientists at Queen Mary University of London taught bees to play soccer. Yes, bees.

The study was really focused on bees' complex learning patterns and adaptability, and one of the tests involves teaching bees to roll balls into specific areas.

This Bear Apparently Predicts Confederations Cup Matches

Nika, a polar bear at a Russian zoo, has drawn comparisons to Paul the octopus, the German octopus that predicted Germany's matches at the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, by predicting the winners of matches at the Confederations Cup. I feel very comfortable saying this is the first time a polar bear has ever drawn comparisons to an octopus. Here's a video about how Nika goes about doing football punditry:

Peter Crouch Still Has All The Jokes

Peter Crouch, who famously responded "a virgin" when asked what he would be if he wasn't a footballer, is at it again. The 6'7" Stoke City striker remains one of the funniest fellows in football, and one of the most likeable. A little self-deprecating humor goes a long way. 

Psychic Cow Predicts Winner Of Tomorrow's Europa League Final

I know what you're thinking, we're all crazy for putting this much faith in a cow to predict the outcome of something people in Las Vegas often miss. But, Paul The Octopus predicted Germany winning the World Cup in 2014, so I have faith in this cow.

Fans Threw Dead Rats On The Field During The Copenhagen Derby

If you think you hate an opposing team more than Brondby fans hate FC Copenhagen, you are wrong. Look what these fools did during the Copenhagen derby.

Welsh Alliance League Match Invaded By Sheep

Animal pitch invasions are some of the most fun things that can happen during soccer matches. Over the years we've seen dogs, cats, a cow, a deer, a snake, a seagull, a duck and a goat.

And now: SHEEP. Welcome to the Welsh Alliance League.
