Growing up in the United States, I used to hear about the intense atmosphere at European football matches. I heard horror stories of young children going to their first live match and leaving drenched in tears, sweat, and spilled beer. These matches were attended only by the craziest fans in the world, or at least that’s how they were made to seem. Only later, when I started watching live matches regularly, did I realize how blown out of proportion those stories were. 

Here is the synopsis of what happened in a Costa Rican second division game: the announcer at this game was criticizing the ref so the ref stopped the game and had the broadcaster thrown out. Seriously, we did not know the ref even had the power to do this, but obviously this ref is not having any of our crap.

FC Barcelona stars participated in a FIFA 16 tournament and the resulting video is comedy gold. Claudio Bravo, Arda Turan and Dani Alves faced off against Neymar Jr., Jordi Alba and Marc-André ter Stegen in a winner-takes-all matchup. 

Who’d the Barcelona players choose to play as? Well, themselves, naturally. With Neymar’s team sporting Barca’s away kits and the Alves squad in the traditional Blaugrana home shirts, the stage was set for a mini half-Clasico on FIFA 16. 

There’s a saying that goes, “to err is human; to forgive, divine." The 21st century brought an addition to that saying: to really screw up takes a computer. And, now, it seems soccer has added a fourth line to the party: to colossally f*** up takes a goalkeeper. We know this new addition to be true because of this footage of a goalkeeper nutmegging himself. Wrap your mind around that last sentence, and then watch this video of a goalkeeper nutmegging himself. 

This clearance did not go according to plan. You can beat the other team, but you can't beat Mother Nature. Somtimes, when you try to beat Mother Nature, Mother Nature strikes back in the most embarassing way possible, as Mothers are prone to do, and makes you lave like a wind own goal or something. 

This defender in an amateur English game found that our the hard war when he tried to send a long ball through the air during a windy day.

It did not go well.

Jesus “Tecatito” Corona and Jurgen Damm have been on our radar for quite some time. They are 22 and 23 respectively, and are the future of the Mexican national team; it’s hard to not get excited about them, especially Corona. Against Honduras in a World Cup Qualifier, the young Mexican stars justified our excitement. 

David Beckham, formerly known as a pretty good English footballer, is now mostly known for being really good looking. And now he's even more known for that.

Beckham was named People Magazine's "Sexiest Man Alive," to the surprise of approximately no one. Except for maybe him. Like Derek Zoolander, he evidently feels "there's more to life than being really really, really, ridiculously good-looking."
