Video: The worst miss ever. Seriously Posted: 31 May 2011 03:11 AM PDT Shocker There are always loads of ‘worst miss ever’ videos knocking around at any given time, but we can’t recall seeing one quite this bad before. The player involved is apparently called Anderson Fredrick and plies his trade in the Venezuelan lower leagues. Absolutely clean through on goal with an open net to aim for, [...]

Top 10 memorable Paul Scholes moments Posted: 31 May 2011 03:06 AM PDT Paul Scholes: he scored goals. Following the Manchester United legend’s retirement, OTP revisits some moments of his career that stick in our mind. 1. Goal against Panathanaikos A perfectly Scholes-esque goal.

Video: Amazing miss from Cruzeiro’s Anselmo Ramon Posted: 31 May 2011 01:43 AM PDT Shocker This shocking miss comes from the Brazilian match between Cruzeiro and Palmeiras over the weekend. With Cruzeiro two-on-one with the Palmeiras keeper, the ball is unselfishly slid to Anselmo Ramon to undertake the formality of scoring the goal. Except he doesn’t.

Video: Shakira teaches Barcelona players to dance Posted: 31 May 2011 01:00 AM PDT Their hips don’t lie Manchester United proved not to be the biggest challenge Barcelona took on over the weekend. Barca’s players took to the stage at a Shakira concert for some dance lessons. Her boyfriend Gerard Pique rounded up an assortment of his favourite midgets (plus Sergio Busquets) to learn some moves from the missus. [...]

Video: Gerard Pique goes fishing, catches Barcelona coach Posted: 31 May 2011 12:46 AM PDT Catch of the Day Barcelona defender Gerard Pique has proven to be nothing but a hooligan during his stay in England. Firstly, he and Carlos Puyol were mucking about with the décor at Arsenal’s training ground. Then he stole the nets from Wembley. What Pique plans to do with his nets remains to be seen, [...]

Swansea secure promotion to the Premier League Posted: 31 May 2011 12:38 AM PDT The Welsh are coming After years of Old Firm breakaway speculation, Swansea ensured they will become the first non-English club to play in the Premier League with minimal fuss. The Swans defeated Reading 4-2 in the Championship play-off final at Wembley yesterday. A Scott Sinclair hat-trick secured top-flight football for the club for the first [...]

Football Lookalikes: Jose Mourinho cheers on Manchester United against Barcelona Posted: 30 May 2011 12:28 PM PDT Scarfake As viral marketing goes, it is not the most subtle branding but it is funny enough to deserve a smirk and some recognition here.
