Brazil U23 Star Anderson Talisca Scores Header and Gets Knocked out at Same Time

Brazil’s U23 team beat Paraguay 4-1 in a friendly match on Friday night, but we are guessing this is not how Anderson Talisca dreamt about scoring for the Selecao. The Benfica striker scored Brazil’s fourth of the game with a fine header, but the Paraguay defender who was also going for the ball clashed heads with Talisca, leaving the Brazilian on the floor.   Talisca was...

Referee Victim of Inexplicable ‘WWE-Style’ Attack by Footballer in Brazil

Our friends from 101 Great Goals have unearthed this bizarre video from a match in Brazil between Jacuipense and Juazeirense.
