Bloopers

Is there anything better than seeing someone who is paid hundreds of thousands of dollars to be a "professional" playing the game worse than your Sunday morning league? Funny funny stuff... Football (Soccer) Bloopers

Smash the Baby!

So this story has been floating out there today, may as well post for those who haven't seen it yet. Some retard took his kid to a fans day American Football game and was chilling on the end line (not a good place to hang out with your 4 year old son) They threw a long pass and the player SMASHED the kid into the wall and fucked him up pretty good. It's amazing the kid didn't get killed or made brain dead or some shit. See video and story: HERE

Lionel Messi: WOW

This has probably already been posted to several million websites, but another one won't hurt anyone. Simply one of the greatest goals ever. Looks eerily like Maradona '86 (that one is still the greatest ever) Messi...he's gonna be pretty good. <---understatement of the century. Enjoy.

EDIT: Here is another video I found that compares the 2 Argentine's goals side by side. Stunningly similar. Enjoy.

It's Their Personality

As you know, all relationships are based solely on personality. Money plays no role...at all...ever...ever. That's why some of these Quasimodo looking athletes are with models/actresses et. al. not because they take home hundreds of thousands if not millions per year. Definitely not that. Dream of your failures in becoming a pro athlete and look at what you could have had HERE.

Ajax retire Cruijff's No. 14

Ajax retire Cruyff's No. 14 jersey - CNN.com: "AMSTERDAM, Netherlands (AP) -- Ajax will retire the No. 14 jersey of Johan Cruyff next Wednesday on his 60th birthday. 'Johan Cruyff has been of priceless value for Ajax and has brought worldwide fame to our club,' club chairman John Jaakke said." Truer words have never been spoken. Cruijff (that is how it is really spelled you ethnocentrist bastards :p) is easily one of the 10 best of all time if not top 5. Those of us who were born earlier enough (read: are older) had the pleasure of seeing him play in NASL in the US. Truly a gifted talent. Here is a video to see the legend in action:

The World Gets A More Little Dumber

JournalStar.com - Lincoln, Nebraska - News - Local: "A soccer mom, upset at her teenage daughter’s performance at a game Saturday, stopped along Interstate 80 and left her there." You read that correctly. The girl didn't play up to snuff in a YOUTH LEAGUE-GIRL'S SOCCER MATCH and "mom" left her on the expressway when she wouldn't repeat "mom's" I Suck Mantra properly. Now, there is never any excuse for this kinda of shit from parents, let me get that out of the way first. However, at least I can semi-remotely-understand when parents get mad at their little boys for not being the best baseball, basketball, football, soccer player on the team. Why? At least there is a pro league to aspire to that mom and dad can use as their retirement fund when junior makes it. Last I checked, women's pro soccer leagues are scarce at best, and are hardly multi-multi million dollar affairs for most. (save the best of the best national team players) Someone needs to toss this lady into the ocean tied up inside a burlap sack. Plain and simple: if you kid sucks at sports, they suck at sports. Deal with it. Oh and remember that at least half of those "sucky" genes are coming from you fuck face.

Funny Penalty Kick-At Least He Stopped It

Football: Madrid to offer £54m for Ronaldo | News | Guardian Unlimited Football

Football: Madrid to offer £54m for Ronaldo | News | Guardian Unlimited Football Holy crap. For those who aren't hip to conversions, that is a lotta $$$ About $108 Million. Many people complain that he is a diver, but god damn if he isn't entertaining to watch. Probably the best in the world right now. Here is a video: (the music kinda licks donkey cock, but that's sort of expected from Youtube sports compilations. Always get some combination of Hoobastank, Linkin Park or Eminem in all of these things)
