In yet another episode of Sepp Blatter Makes Himself Look Silly, United States star Alex Morgan has made a rather unsettling revelation about FIFA’s president. Morgan, who was honoured in 2012 for finishing third as the FIFA World Player of the Year, along with Abby Wambach, are two of the most recognisable footballers on the planet, male or female. And Blatter had no idea who Morgan...

Lewis Hamilton is the reigning Formula One world champion, so conventional wisdom would suggest that the Englishman is unfazed by most competitive situations. However, when the lifelong Arsenal fan was presented with the opportunity to play in a five-a-side match with a handful of Arsenal legends, even Hamilton was giddy at the prospect. Hamilton, donning a retro Arsenal shirt, joined...

It’s been over nine months since Luis Suarez famously bit Giorgio Chiellini in the World Cup, but considering his history with biting people, it will always be a topic of conversation. The Uruguayan recently gave an interview to Tom Dutton of the London Evening Standard and put a bit of the blame for his munching antics elsewhere. On those who he bit. He doesn’t try...

Leave it to perennial lightning rod Diego Maradona to do an act of petty violence at a charity match meant to spread the notion of peace. But it’s Maradona‘s world… After the game that was dubbed the “Match for Peace” at the Estadio Metropolitano de Techo in Colombia, the Argentinian was filmed both apparently kicking a steward then shoving away a cameraman.

Replaying a match because of unusual or controversial circumstances is hardly an unprecedented phenomenon. Replaying the final 19 seconds of a match, on the other hand, is. But such is the case for the England U19 women after a bizarre scene wherein the match referee made a blunder of epic proportions. The scene: England trailed Norway 2-1 in the 96th minute in Belfast England...

Say what you will about the United States’ new rumoured home shirt, but no one can doubt its inherent patriotism. In February, the USMNT revealed their new away look, which just debuted in matches in Denmark and Switzerland. Now images are starting to circulate of a home look reminiscent of the American flag. The last time the United States wore stripes (albeit of the horizontal variety)...

You’d think the idea of conceding a goal would be burned into Macedonian minds, and for good reason, but celebration karma struck again in a UEFA development tournament, and it cost their U16s dearly. Macedonia scored what should have been a tournament-winning goal from a corner kick in injury time but celebrated a bit too much for a bit too long in their own half. Gibraltar raced...

Say what you will about the less-than-thrilling current England squad, but there’s really no excuse for this, England fan. As pointed out by Jamie Sanderson of Metro, this “fan” was caught playing a bit of cards while taking in England’s 1-1 draw with Italy in Turin. Way to embrace the overall footballing experience. It’s worth noting that...

Cape Verde’s 2-0 win over Portugal provided one of the more shocking scorelines of the international break. Mind you, Portugal weren’t fielding many of their top players in the friendly, but Odair Fortes still provided a wild highlight for the winners. Fortes scored a bizarre goal as his attempted cross managed to beat Eduardo Carvalho for the visitors’ first goal...

Nothing like a defender trying to be a world-class attacker. But for the theatrics alone, Vincent Kompany, we thank you. During Belgium’s European qualifier against Israel on Tuesday, the Manchester City centre-back did a series of keepy-uppies with himself, then took an outlandish shot from distance. It went well past his target, but at least he got this momentary positional confusion out of...
