Who knew American football was so popular in Germany? This amateur football match was played on an American football pitch, and the presence of the extra posts confused the referee a bit. American football and football do not mix well. h/t 101greatgoals »
The football season is coming to an end but rather than wallow in sadness we have been putting together the best moments of the season for you to enjoy »
We have officially run out of things to throw onto a football pitch. Pig’s head? Done it. Octopus? Yes. And now we have false teeth. We need to invent more objects that can be easily thrown. I hope the culprit is one of the fans that is sinisterly smoking a cigarette. h/t reddit »
Hurdling over an opponent is pretty much just an American sporting phenomenon, mostly because it isn’t legal in the sports that are popular in this part of the world. But there is something very cool about seeing a player leap over another. And this guy is only in high school. h/t bobsblitz »
Lingerie football has a reputation for being only about girls playing football in revealing uniforms. Maybe that reputation is justified but Keith Hac may make you think again. Hac is the head coach of the Chicago Bliss and isn’t afraid to get in his players faces. Is it weird that he said “I will f**k you in the face”? h/t biglead »
Sky Sports Soccer Saturday is as well known for the blunders made by its presenters and commentators than it is for its coverage. This video has all this season’s best bits from Jeff Stelling and the lads and as always, Chris Kamara and Paul Merson are well represented. Kamara and Merson may get slagged a lot for their mistakes but Ian Dowie may be a dark horse for the most error prone pundi... »
Last weekend Levski Sofia had a big win over their rivals Ludogorets in the race for the Bulgarian league title. Naturally their fans celebrated with a massive fireworks display. Celebrations like that is probably why some away stands look like this. h/t 101greatgoals »
You hear lots of stories about crowd trouble at football games in Eastern Europe and if this ground is anything to go by, it must be very bad. Check out the away end at the stadium of Polish team Znicz Pruszków. Not to worry away fans, they have now installed seats in your little caged hell. h/t football humour »
Barcelona have released photos of their new jerseys and they have seriously changed their away jersey. Many people found their orange/red away strip to be a bit of a monstrosity so the club have obliged by altering it. As ever, their home jersey follows a traditional template. What do you think of their new jerseys? Did you have a soft spot for their sunset jersey? Or would you like them to revamp... »
Granted baseball may have different customs to the sports played in this part of the world, but this surely can’t be an acceptable way to greet someone after a game? »
Whatever you think about Sky’s Premier League coverage, one thing they definitely do well are montages. One of the ways that Sky build up the Premier League is splicing together some slow motion clips with some good music in the background. And in fairness to them, they generally nail the song choice. The video does a good job at conveying just how crazy this Premier League season has been. ... »
Hardly the most surprising news you’ll hear today but it now looks like Jose Mourinho will definitely be leaving Real Madrid at the end of the season. The only question is, how long until he signs a deal with Chelsea? Florentino Perez will announce that Mourinho will leave Madrid after the last game of the season — Guillem Balague (@GuillemBalague) May 20, 2013 El Mundo Deportivo: Mou... »
Is this kick more Bruce Lee or Chuck Norris? Either way it is epic. h/t deadspin »
The WWE pay per view Extreme Rules was on last night and as you can expect, the proceedings were even more ridiculous than usual. John Cena took on Ryback in a last man standing match and it ended in a no contest after this piece of theater. Why can’t every feud in every sport be settled with a last man standing match? And even better if it doubles as a lose leaves town match. h/t wrasslormo... »
