Cardiff City secured promotion to the Premier League with a 0-0 draw at home to Charlton last night. As you’d expect huge numbers of supporters rushed on the pitch at the final whistle. The music which accompanied the celebrations left a lot to be desired though. ‘Greatest Day’ by Take That, ‘Walking on Sunshine’ by Take That and ‘I gotta a feeling’ by The... »
This is comical. Freiburg against Hannover. First the keeper is caught in no man’s land, then Christian Schulz sees the ball deflect off him into his own net. Freiburg can’t believe their luck. »
This video comes with a warning. Do not watch unless you are a bit sick and twisted. Nermin Zolotic is on the end of a sickening leg break during a Željezniar and Zrinjski match in the Bosnian Premier Liga. I have tried to watch it again, it’s just not happening. »

No doubting it was a sleepless night for Andrea Ranocchia, as he contributed to possibly the miss of the season last night.

It looks like comments from Joey Barton don’t bother Brazilian international Neymar, as he scores a stunning free kick for his club Santos against Sao Caetano. He was almost celebrating just as the ball left his foot. »
Take a bow son. Sorry, I mean take a bow lady/daughter/woman. Whatever way you say it, it just doesn’t have the same ring to it. Women’s football may not get the coverage that the male equivalent receives, but this is a goal that any of the Premier League elite would be proud of. Elodie Thomas scores a top corner screamer for the French ladies national team against Canada. (Video via 101greatgoals... »
I know I wasn’t doing this when I was 18. Viktor Fischer scored one of the goals of the season, in Ajax’s 4-1 win over NEC. Having found himself in a perfect position, he coolly dinked the ball over the goalkeeper. All under the watchful eye of Ajax assistant manager Dennis Bergkamp. I wonder where he learnt to do that? »
There is nothing like a good training ground bust up to get the rumours flowing and the handbags were firmly out in a Werder Bremen training session yesterday. Marko Arnautovic who may be familiar from the Austria line up on Tuesday night against Ireland, was not too pleased after his team-mate Sokratis Papastathopoulos, sent him to the ground with a tackle. The scuffle ended in Arna... »
So close but yet so far. It was the moment that all United fans were waiting for, a decent swing of the left boot by Valencia. Antonio Valencia produced an exquisite left footed volley for Ecuador in their win 4-1 over Paraguay. A collector’s item for the Manchester United winger, only for the finish to be disallowed for offside. Unlucky but at least we know now that its not a... »
Are you Messi in disguise? It seems that the class of Barcelona branches right down to under nine level, as Catalan youngster Marc Jurado scored after just five seconds in a match last weekend.

Tactics straight from the schoolboy Sunday league. Viktor Fayzulin scores for Russia as they take the lead against Brazil in their international friendly at Stamford Bridge tonight. Judging by this, Brazil just aren’t very Brazilin anymore. Fred equalised for Brazil in the 90th minute to end the game at 1-1. »
Norwegian footballer John Carew showcases that he wasn’t just a talent on the football pitch, producing some silky dance moves with his son. The ex Aston Villa striker, now free agent, produces moves worthy of any goal celebration. It’s a pity we didn’t see any of them after any of his 155 career goals. »
A lower league Spanish football match between Quintanar del Rey and Toledo last weekend produced one of the strangest decisions seen on a football pitch. After a Quintanar player had a shot from distance, which hit the underside of the bar and went wide, the referee awarded a goal, suggesting that the ball had crossed the line. »
