This has been a great week for IN THE FACE!!!! INNNThe FAAACE!!!! news.
You shouldn't kick the ball directly into your teammate's face. That's, like, the number one rule of teammates. For more,we go to our "Instant Karma" correspondent, John Lennon.
Thanks John.
This is not how flip throws are supposed to go. We're just going to leave this this here.

Have you ever had one of those moments where completely unrelated things just start to intertwine with each other?
Sort of like when you're moving and you throw a bunch of cables into the same box and maybe once they had a purpose, but that purpose has been long forgotten by the inevitable decay of time and a serious lack of organizational skills.
Criticism surrounding Arsene Wenger has reached fever pitch with Arsenal legend Thierry Henry citing the angry mood of Arsenal supporters as evidence of a forthcoming mutiny at the Emirates. When the visible swelling of rage becomes the grounds for criticism in and of itself, the dsenfranchisement of those who once genuinely cared proof of systematic failure, you've approached something akin to the current presidential electoral process.
The joys of recreational soccer are countless. Whether it’s the ability to continue to play the sport you love long after your competitive career is over, an opportunity to stay in shape without the tedium of the gym or a chance to get together and tear into your friend who supports Manchester United, rec-league soccer can be the highlight of the week. It’s a chance to forget about the travails of work and the pressures of everyday life.
Louis van Gaal has hit the screens of millions of people this weekend and this time it wasn’t because his team lost again. Manchester United won, but that's not the reason for Van Gaal's bog weekend either.
During the game against Arsenal, the former Barcelona coach was very upset after the referee said Manchester United fouled Arsenal's Alexis Sánchez, something Van Gaal didn’t think was correct. So after a few seconds of ranting the assistant referee, he dropped himself. And yes, It was as awesome as you can imagine.
Here’s the Vine of Van Gaal diving against Arsenal:
When you’re in the relegation zone, things just don’t come off for you. For one, that’s the reason you’re lodged at the bottom of the table to begin with — your basic inability to to do anything right. For two, being lodged at the bottom takes a toll on your mental well-being, affecting your once professional ability.
Your dog won’t even look you in the eyes anymore, trips to the neighborhood grocer become public persecutions and you can’t remember the last time your own supporters cheered rather than jeered your name on the public announcement system.
We don't know which team Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Mohamed Sanu supported in the Capital One Cup final Sunday, but, either way, it was a game he (and the future Mrs. Sanu) will never forget.

Red-carding a player is serious business. The player has more than likely done something really bad, and tempers are stretched to the breaking point. It's one of the most tense situations in soccer.
Because the situation is so tense, referees don't go for much in the way of audience participation when tossing players out of games.
Salih Dursun apparently didn't like that part of the arrangement, and decided to insert himself into the action, with predictable results.
