Russian Club Won’t Sign Any More ‘Dark-Skinned Players’ Says Coach

The World Cup will be held in Russia in 2018, but already, there have been some concerns raised about potential racism in the country.

Footballer Gets 50-Year Ban for Kicking Ball in Referee’s Face

Ball Hits Both Posts, Comes Out, Still Leads to Hilarious Own Goal

The above video comes from an amateur game in Greece and is one of the funnier own goals we’ve seen in recent years.  We don’t have the names of the men involved, but the hapless defending comes from a player for Garipa on the island of Crete.  After seeing an opposition striker denied a goal by both posts, he had all the time in the world to position himself and clear.  Instead,... 

Incident in Belgium Shows Why Goal-Line Technology Is Needed Everywhere

Frank Lampard and England fans must be wishing this officiating team was working the 2010 World Cup clash against Germany.  While Lampard was denied a clear goal on that occasion, Belgian side Genk were awarded a ridiculous ghost goal against Lierse on Tuesday night for this strike by Congo midfielder Herve Kage. Kage didn’t even think of celebrating after his shot cannoned off the... 

5 Own Goals Scored in the Same Match as Both Teams Try to Lose

The above footage comes from Indonesia where a match finished 3-2 with all five of the goals being own goals.  However, this was no accident, as both teams were reportedly trying to lose the match to avoid an unwanted fixture.

Just 3 Journalists Turn Up for the All Blacks’ First US Press Conference

It was seen as a major coup when USA Eagles rugby managed to get New Zealand over to Chicago for a Test match at Solider Field.  The match on Saturday is a 61,500-seat sellout, so there is certainly plenty of interest in seeing the world champions, not that you would know that from the U.S. media though.   According to Stuff.co.nz‘s Duncan Johnstone:  The world’s most... 

USMNT Striker Terrence Boyd Joins the RKO Craze with Celebration in Germany

Randy Orton’s famous RKO move has reached a whole new audience in recent weeks, thanks to a series of Vines that have gone viral.  Now it is creeping into real life, with footballers copying the move for elaborate goal celebrations.  Scottish Premiership team Dundee were the first team to do it…out of nowhere! “@paddypower: In case you missed it earlier, Dundee produced... 

Referee Nigel Owens Delivers Hilarious Gag After Rugby Fail

Nigel Owens is one of the best and most respected rugby referees in the game—he also just so happens to be gay.  Owens certainly showed he is game for a laugh, too, during the recent Harlequins vs. Castres European Rugby Champions Cup clash.  After a terrible, crooked line-out throw from Harlequins hooker Dave Ward, Owens couldn’t resist going over to Ward and saying:... 

Golfer Lands the Greatest 3-Foot Putt in the History of Golf

Thought a three-foot golf putt could never be interesting? Think again! The above putt comes from the ninth hole in Elie, Scotland, and our hero is named Greg.  Beside that, we don’t know too much other than this might be the greatest birdie putt of all time.  Greg decided to go, in his own words, “the scenic route,” and instead of aiming directly for the hole, went up... 

Ronaldinho Seems to Be Enjoying Himself on Set of New Music Video

Ronaldinho has never hidden his affections for the “Fairer Sex.” Indeed, when he signed for Mexican team Queretaro last month, he was reported by Metro as saying, “I want to win titles and girls here. I’ve always lived in the same way.” Therefore, it is no surprise to see him looking so comfortable with, what 101 Great Goals calls, “a bevy of beauties...
