| Muangthong United’s headed free kick perfected by Kuwaiti football team Posted: 07 Feb 2013 03:28 AM PST Remember the Muangthong United’s headed free kick routine? Well the problem with that was whilst it was awarded 10/10 for innovation, marks were lost for execution because the eventual shot hit the wall. It has now been perfected by Kuwaiti futsal team Al Fahaheel. Ayedh Al Ajmi ran up to the ball, fell down and [...] |
| Lionel Messi gets a kiss and head rub from a pitch invader Posted: 07 Feb 2013 03:17 AM PST There is no bigger compliment to the skill of Lionel Messi then the fact that supporters are prepared to get arrested and receive criminal records just to get close to their hero. Last night Argentina beat Sweden 3-2 in a brillaint match, but the Swedes were able to stop Messi scoring. Still, the highlight for [...] |
| Crazy Japanese football queuing system Posted: 07 Feb 2013 03:06 AM PST The Japanese typically find ingenious and technological ways to improve life, and it now appears that football is not safe from their innovations. However, I wouldn’t say that this a particularly technical way of avoiding the inevitable queue at the ticket office to get a ticket for a big game. Essentially, to avoid this Japanese [...] |
| GIF It: Honduras beat USA with a golazo overhead kick Posted: 07 Feb 2013 02:56 AM PST Whilst you were sleeping last night, the USA and Mexico (the two favourites to lead the CONCACAF qualification group for the World Cup) got their campaigns off to fairly dreadful beginnings. Whilst Mexico were held at home by lowly Jamaica, the American’s lost in Honduras to sit bottom of the group after one round of [...] |
| Video: Mario Balotelli mocked by a pair of astronauts (Netherlands vs Italy) Posted: 07 Feb 2013 02:14 AM PST Italy striker Mario Balotelli often has to face a lot of abuse during matches, but it is probably safe to say this is the first time that he’s been mocked by two astronauts. The AC Milan man was goaded by two fans dressed in full space suits after kicking the ball at the advertising hoardings [...] |
| GIF It: Everton’s Phil Jagielka leaves Tottenham’s Kyle Walker with a lingering thought Posted: 07 Feb 2013 02:06 AM PST Just what does Phil Jagielka tell fellow England substitute Kyle Walker that causes the Tottenham defender to get lost in thought. A few possibilities: 1. “Have you heard that Goran Popov has been diagnosed with TB?” 2. “I reckon Glen Johnson could comfortably play at international level for another six or seven years.” 3. “If [...] |
| Video: Sweden keeper Andreas Isaksson’s overhead kick save from Argentina’s Lionel Messi Posted: 07 Feb 2013 12:45 AM PST Normally goalkeepers are hapless bystanders as Lionel Messi shows off his range of skills against them. But in last night’s match between Sweden and Argentina, Andreas Isaksson was able to unleash an overhead kick to thwart the Barcelona magician. Via 101GG |
| GIF It: Ref Pedro Proenca’s effeminate rejection of England’s penalty protests Posted: 07 Feb 2013 12:40 AM PST We’re not sure if referee Pedro Proenca dismissed England’s protests against the award of a penalty in last night’s clash with Brazil in the style of an American teen drama (“no way, girlfriend”) or through the medium of the Birdie Song. |
| Top 10 conclusions: England 2-1 Brazil Posted: 07 Feb 2013 12:28 AM PST 1. Jack Wilshere, it’s good to have you back. He showed drive, commitment and technical ability so often missing in England performances. 2. On the flip side, you do find yourself constantly thinking he’s about to get injured. We don’t know how you cope on a weekly basis, Arsenal fans. 3. Not gutting much joy [...] |
