Daniel Sturridge Follows Shocking Open-Net Miss With Remarkable Scissor-Kick Goal

What do you do when you commit one of the most shocking misses of your career?

Follow it up with one of the best goals of your career, of course.

Daniel Sturridge somehow missed a tap-in with an open net moments into the second half of Liverpool’s League Cup match with Chelsea. Less than 15 minutes later, he was celebrating a brilliant goal to put the Reds in front at Anfield.

But the Sturridge goal vs Chelsea was for naught, as the Blues rallied late for a 2-1 win.

Red Card For Handball Is Straight Out Of Elementary School Recess

That feeling you have is one of extreme déjà vu: This is elementary school recess all over again. You’ve drafted teams, painstakingly setup field dimensions, bickered and argued over whose cone-defined goalmouth is unfairly sized and now it’s finally time to play — there’s not much time left in recess now.

Kickoff!

Is This The Worst Flop Ever Or A Terrible Case Of The Sunday Scaries?

I wasn’t at today’s Eredivisie match between Feyenoord and Utrecht at De Kuip (my boss won’t send me to Rotterdam), but I have a pretty good idea of how this scene between the home side’s Steven Berghuis and Utrecht captain Willem Janssen played out. It’s the ultimate enactment of the Sunday Scaries. 

Impossibly Bad Sequence Ends With Worst Goal Line Clearance In Footy History

Has there ever been a worse demonstration of goalkeeping in professional football without a goal being conceded? If Loris Karius had the luck of this dude, he would’ve kept a clean sheet in the Champions League final. First things first: what the hell is the keeper thinking with regards to the initial flight of the corner? Where is he going? Why is he spinning in a circle and then running out of bounds? 

This Horror Miss Is A Wonderful Slow Burn, Like That One Really Good Movie

Horror movies are great, but horror movies have a general massive flaw: Once the cat’s out of the bag, they can transform into an hour-long slog of scream-filled monotony. But a proper slow burner, that’s where the true power of the genre lies.

I’m talking The Witch, AMC’s The Terror, Let the Right One In, Hereditary … where the suspense and a general feeling of unease gradually reverberate through your system before THE HORROR OF IT ALL is revealed.

Vorskla Captain Spits On Own Face, Scores Cracking Goal Against Arsenal

Volodymyr Chesnakov has one of the oddest pregame rituals we have ever seen. 

The captain of Vorskla Poltava, Chesnakov and his teammates were in London to face Arsenal in the Europa League on Thursday. Before coming out onto the pitch at Emirates Stadium, Chesnakov spit all over his own face.

And it worked. He scored a great goal for Vorskla, the fifth-place team in the Ukrainian Premier League.

But Arsenal still won easily, 4-2, to the surprise of no one.
