Toddler Scores Goal During Chelsea Post-Game Ceremony, Crowd Chants "Sign Him Up!" [VIDEO]

Duke Keith — Tue, 21 May 2013 12:21:29 +0000

Last weekend after the final match of the season for English soccer giants Chelsea, the team held a post-game ceremony at midfield at Stamford Bridge. A toddler who was supposed to be in the ceremony broke away from the crowd with a ball, dribbled down the field, and kicked it in the goal. And the crowd went nuts for him. Then he turned around and raised his fists in the air, and everyone lost it.

Commentator Makes a Messi of a Goal Call [VIDEO]

Duke Keith — Thu, 02 May 2013 16:49:23 +0000

Yes, it is amazing! Buuuut the commentary was just a LITTLE over the top. Argentine soccer stud Lionel Messi dribbled around three defenders to score a goal in a game. The man has incredible touch. Ray Hudson's color commentary, though, was just touched.

A soccer fan in South Africa ran onto the field during a match in South Africa and attacked the referee with a vuvuzela. The best thing about it is, you can't blow into a vuvuzela while you're swinging it!

NBC Sports Tweets Insult About USMNT After Scoreless Draw With Canada

Chad Middleton — Wed, 30 Jan 2013 16:34:32 +0000

It was bad enough to watch the USMNT struggle to a scoreless draw with Canada last night but to have a major sports network insult not only the men's team but the women's team as well? Really?

Yes, the screen shot you see was tweeted out last night by NBC Sports

Check out this hilarious video in which Muteba Kidiaba, a goalkeeper for the DR Congo national team, celebrates a game-tying score by hopping around on his backside.

Born Into It: Great Sports Promo Gets the Yin-Yang of It (with Translation) [VIDEO]

Duke Keith — Fri, 14 Dec 2012 23:00:23 +0000

I LOVED this ESPN promo when I first saw it. Loved it even more when I discovered there was a translation. A couple of blokes from Manchester -- one, a fan of the Reds (Manchester United); the other, a Blue (Manchester City) -- show us how, even when we're different, we're the same. And, yes, that is sports. As they say across the pond, "Brilliant!"

An American Original: U.S. Defeats Mexico in Azteca, 1-0…In Soccer [OPINION/PHOTO]

Duke Keith — Thu, 16 Aug 2012 04:40:01 +0000

No way it was going to happen Wednesday night. Just no way.

US Soccer is light years ahead of where it was when I watched Paul Caligiuri score late against Trinidad & Tobago -- back in the stonewashed jeans day -- to qualify the United States for Italia '90, America's first World Cup in 40 years. It has a first-division league that isn't even forced to pl

Viva Espana: Spain Dominates Italy to Win the 2012 European Championships

Andy Lee — Sun, 01 Jul 2012 21:56:32 +0000

Sometime in the mid 2000s, the programming brass at ESPN became determined to turn the world's most popular sport into a ratings bonanza. I'll be the first to admit that I didn't even know the European Championships existed until four years ago

Soccer Goal Celebrations We Would Love to See [VIDEO]

Duke Keith — Wed, 30 May 2012 16:28:28 +0000

Every sport has its celebrations -- T.O.'s Sharpie in the sock, Ron Artest's elbow to the head -- but these days soccer players take the cake. You can get a yellow card if you take off your shirt after scoring a goal, but EVERYTHING else is fair game -- thumb-sucking (which I've never gotten), sambas, flips, 3-act plays...all these guys would need are some special effects. Hey, wait a minute...
