Paraguay Score Fluke Goal vs. Jamaica After Duwayne Kerr’s Mistake

Here’s further proof that the Chile-based 2015 Copa America has been a whacky tournament and will continue to be: Paraguay’s opening goal against Jamaica.  In one of the more bizarre goals seen in recent memory, Duwayne Kerr came way off his line to make a clearance. The problem was, his clearance went straight into the boot of Paraguay’s Edgar Benitez and back into the goal.  Just... 

Marco Aurelio Cunha Credits Shorter Shorts for Growth in Women’s Football

Marco Aurelio Cunha doesn’t quite carry the same recognition that Sepp Blatter does, but some quotes from the coordinator for the women’s game for the Confederation of Brazilian football are making similar Blatter-like waves—and not for good reasons.  Blatter, of course, famously said that women should “have tighter shorts” to improve the game.  Cunha delivered... 

Lucas Barrios Hits Late Dramatic Equaliser to Earn Paraguay a Draw vs. Argentina

Lucas Barrios had other ideas about being torn to shreds by Argentina.  Paraguay fought back to earn a late, dramatic 2-2 draw against one of Copa America’s favourites, Argentina, late during Saturday’s action.  Barrios capitalised when a free-kick was nodded back in his direction, and he hit it perfectly.  Nelson Valdez started the comeback with a belter from long-distance.  Argentina... 

Marcos Pizzelli Hits Sensational Free-Kick Goal for Armenia vs. Portugal

Cristiano Ronaldo Signs Autographs for 2 Young Pitch Invaders

Armenia have almost no chance of qualifying for Euro 2016, but when Cristiano Ronaldo comes to town, the fans will flock.  Portugal travelled to Armenia for a qualifying match that pit first place in Group I against last place in the group, but a few young Armenian fans showed that Ronaldo was the main attraction.  Before the match, two youngsters invaded the pitch as the teams were warming... 

Carlos Tevez Showers Praise on Argentina Team-Mate Lionel Messi

In Carlos Tevez‘s words, the rumours of a long-standing row between him and Argentina team-mate Lionel Messi are just that: rumours.  In the buildup to Argentina’s Copa America opener against Paraguay, Tevez not only rubbished the rumblings, which have been previously documented by Jonathan Wilson of the Guardian, but he showered heavy praise on the Barcelona star. “He who... 

Edinson Cavani Apologises After Calling Jamaica an African Nation

Speaking to the press can be a stressful thing at times.  At least we hope that’s the reason Edinson Cavani recently endured a geographical malfunction and thought for a moment that the Caribbean island of Jamaica was actually in Africa. Oops. When the Uruguayan was asked about Copa America opponent Jamaica, he referred to them as an “African team.” “As any other...
