Neymar Scores Tornado Twist Goal In Charity Match

Neymar doesn’t get to execute his usual flair while playing for FC Barcelona in La Liga. But, in a Brazilian charity match, the former Santos star has more chances to reach into his bag of tricks. 

Last week, Neymar showed off his skills to fellow Brazilians after he embarrassed a defender before scoring a goal from a “tornado twist.” We do want to point out that the defender marking Neymar clearly looks out of shape and stood no chance against the world class footballer, but that’s besides the point. 

Watch Every Goal From The Man Outscoring Messi

Alexandre Lacazette is having a breakout year for Olympique Lyon in Ligue 1, the French first division. He has scored 17 goals in all competitions, far and away the most in Ligue 1, and two more than the walking legend that is Lionel Messi.

According to WhoScored.com, Lacazete is the fourth highest-rated player in the world this season, and after watching this video, you will understand why.

Santa Neymar Wishes You A Merry Christmas

2014 was a tough year for Barcelona. They went trophyless, which is shocking by their standards and given the talent they have. They finished second behind Atletico Madrid in La Liga, got beaten by Los Colchoneros in the quarterfinals of Champions League and finished second to Real Madrid in the Copa del Rey.

Napoli Releases Another Weird Video For Their Calendar

Napoli is really amped about their 2015 calendar coming out. Earlier this month we posted a teaser video they put together that was, all in all, pretty weird. Gonzalo Higuain had his hands tied and was doing something with a boat, while manager Rafael Benítez was acting like a legionnaire. Entertaining, but weird. 

Well now just in time for the holidays, Napoli released another awesome video that takes us behind the scenes of the photo shoot even further.

100 Years Ago, Christmas And Soccer Stopped WWI

On the Eve of Christmas in 1914, an unofficial ceasefire went out across the western front of World War I. Across nearly 400 miles of trenches, men from opposing sides decided to stop fighting, choosing instead to socialize with the very men they would soon again have to try to conquer and, perhaps, kill. They bartered, shared stories, and played football. In honor of the games that they played 100 years ago, UEFA has made a commemoratory video.  

Christmas Jokes So Bad They Are Hilarious, As Told By Everton Players

What do they sing at a snowman’s birthday party? F-reeze a jolly good fellow! 

This is just one of the horrendous, yet funny jokes that the Everton football club told one another for the Christmas video below. One person who clearly was having a good time was Romelu Lukaku. The Belgian was cracking up for majority of the video, even if he didn’t understand the jokes, while teammate Ross Barkely pretty much hated being there the whole time. We’ll give Ross a pass considering he scored this screamer recently.

And, because we like you, we also provide a breakdown of the top moments in the video by time code in case you want to skip around (the video is 16 minutes long).

Parents Dressed In Tribal Garb Embarrass Star Player

As children growing up, who didn't think, “Do our parents deliberately try to embarrass us?” Or, perhaps infinitely more importantly, “Is there some sort of unspoken competition between the parents of the world to see who can embarrass their children the most thoroughly?”

Well, if that damnable league does exist, we would like to introduce you to its perennial champions: Mr. and Mrs. Sisto.
