3
Proof that the man taking an indirect free-kick can still steal the show If anyone wants to fill in the details, please let us know but the names of players and teams are irrelevant in comparison to the jaw-dropping action! Spotted on The Guardian Click to continue reading...

Football video: Scott Carson’s second howler for England gives Germany goal

13
England keeper is serial cock-up artist You have to feel a bit sorry for Scott Carson. He is a very good keeper, but he does seem to be a bit cursed when he dons the England jersey. He kept up his 100 per cent blunder record with a disastrous role in Germany's goal. The blame must [...] Click to continue reading...

Football video: Kid KO’d by somersault throw-in

7
Death by dead ball When we compiled our top six threatening throw-ins, we missed this beauty. The brave and/or stupid defender does not seem to recognise the impact (quite literally) that standing so close to the throw-in taker will have on him. Spotted on The Spoiler Click to continue reading...

Football video: Greek penalty area punch - Pablo Garcia on Diogo

3
More unorthodox tactics Defending a free-kick which is likely to be crossed: pick up your man, stay goal-side, punch him in the stomach at the moment of delivery. Simple as that really - danger averted. Just ask POAK's Pablo Garcia who quells the threat posed by Olympiakos' Diogo with one blow. Spotted on 101GreatGoals Click to continue reading...

Football video: Catania’s pants free-kick tactics

23
Drop your shorts, boys. He won't see a thing Revolutionary set-piece tactics were on display in Serie A this weekend. Catania's players dropped deep into the penalty area, dropped their shorts to their knees to unsight the goalkeepers and stood back to enjoy as team-mate Giuseppe Mascara popped the ball into the back of the net.

Football video: Manchester United’s Danny Welbeck scores a beauty against Stoke City on his debut

135
As debut goals go, this is a pretty good one I don't know if 17-year-old Premier League footballers still dream about their league debut, or whether they are taught in the Academy to avoid such unnecessary distractions. But if Danny Welbeck did allow his mind to wander sufficiently to picture scoring in his first game for [. Click to continue reading...

Hard tackle: Taison cuddles up to team-mate during flight

2
Brazilian player stops short of joining the Mile High Club Dull news report about football team travelling on plane. Probably telling you when Internacional are expecting to arrive at their destination, when they are next training and... woah! Hang on a minute! Was that player snuggling up to his team-mate for an in-flight nap? Click to continue reading...

Football video: Derby County and Leeds United fans celebrate their mediocrity

0
Two teams united in a fall from the big time! When Derby met Leeds in the Carling Cup last night, the fans of both sides realised they had something in common. The self-deprecating Rams and Whites followers joined forces for a stirring chorus of "we're not famous anymore."! Click to continue reading...

Welcome to the crazy world of mudball

0
It's like football but on mud In England we call the traditional game of football played on mud 'away at Wigan', but in Finland they call it mudball. It doesn't so much test your technique as your ability to stay afloat. The teams take it very seriously though (well, except for the ones in drag or [. Click to continue reading...

Football video: Lyon’s Remy Vercoutre delivers a backpass howler

0
Goalkeeper is not strictly accurate. How about goalgiver? To be fair to Lyon goalkeeper Remy Vercoutre, the backpass he receives in this video is a bit on the short side. Sadly his sidefooted pass to an onrushing FC Metz attacker is inch perfect. D'oh! Spotted on The Offside Click to continue reading...

Football video: Carlos Vela’s chip against Wigan in the Carling Cup

56
Arsenal youngster sees off the Latics I don't think I have used the word exquisite yet on Off The Post, but I am going to now. Arsenal's young Mexican, Carlos Vela, scored an exquisite goal against Wigan last night as he raced onto a through ball and deftly chipped the ball over both the sliding tackle [.

Football video: Roma’s Cicinho scores a diving header own goal against Bologna

0
Don't get too many of those to the pound God bless Brazilian footballers. They can't even score own goals without using more technique and panache than we could ever dream of. Take Cicinho of Roma, for instance. Here he is scoring a 91st minute equaliser for Bologna at the weekend. An outstanding diving header to give [. Click to continue reading...

Six-year-old kid with amazing skills

The new new Zidane I would be happy if I could do most of these tricks without falling over now, never mind at six years old. We are not quite sure who this crazy French kid is but he looks to have a bright future ahead of him. Spotted on Soccerly Click to continue reading...

Football video: Jose Mourinho walks out on Italian TV interview

8
The Special One is now the Stroppy One (or was he always?) If there's one thing Jose Mourinho doesn't like it is criticism of Jose Mourinho. So when Italy's media wanted to give the Inter Milan boss a dressing down over his celebratory hushing of Udinese's fans, it all got a bit too much for Mourinho. Click to continue reading...

Real Sociedad’s Diaz de Cerio suffers horrific leg break

18
That's gotta hurt Horrific incident from La Liga this weekend. Real Sociedad player Diaz de Cerio broke his leg as he chased down the Eibar goalkeeper. It was one of those leg-dangling, vomit-in-your-mouth kind of leg breaks. Picture after the jump... Spotted on 101GreatGoals Click to continue reading...

Algerian unleashes a great strike for Pompey Portsmouth's on-loan Algerian, Nadir Belhadj, decided to make his first goal for Portsmouth a special one.

Albie gets C-Ron's training gear and his skills You wouldn't have thought that merely wearing Cristiano Ronaldo's skintight Nike training gear would allow you to show him up on the football pitch, but Nike see things a little differently.

Football video: Nancy’s Gennaro Bracigliano walks ball into net

1
A goalkeeping howler of epic proportions "Hey, Gennaro. Welcome to goalkeeping school. Lesson one: under no circumstances do you walk across your goalline with the ball in your possession. It's sort of like doing the opposition's job for them. Got that?" Sadly he hadn't, and this was painfully exposed during Nancy's Uefa Cup tie with Lech Poznań [. Click to continue reading...

Ronny rocket Carrying a few extra pounds might slow you down, but it also allows you to put a bit of extra weight behind thunderbolts like this. Ronaldinho: we bow to your superior knowledge of what it takes to be the best. Keep on eating and keep on partying! Click to continue reading...

Robbo curler sinks Schteeve McClaren'sh FC Twente Another great goal from City's little magician. A moment of brilliance to spark the tie with FC Twente into a really good match. He also hit the post twice and could easily have had a hat-trick. Instead we will have to make do with the one peach! Click to continue reading...

Sunderland players take to the catwalk

Black Cats squad take part in charity fashion show The life of Premier League footballer does not involve a couple of hours of training and then back home to do what you please.

Football video: Brazilian defender sent-off for grabbing yellow card

I see your yellow card, and I raise you red Botafogo's Andre Luis was red-carded in the Copa Sudamericana match with Estudiantes after snatching the yellow card from the referee's hand. He then flashes it around a bit before screwing it up and putting it back into the ref's hand. He promptly receives a red card [. Click to continue reading...

Standard Liege’s Dieumerci Mbokani gets his head stuck on a rollercoaster

Congolese player falls foul of an un-fairground For some reason best known to themselves, Standard Liege's Dieumerci Mbokani and Steven Defour are being filmed on a fairground ride. The happy duo are sharing a joke, which causes Mbokani to lean over and cuddle up to his team-mate. Unfortunately for him, he does this at the precise [. Click to continue reading...

Football video: Squeaky clean Lionel Messi gets caught spitting

Does he phlegm like Maradona? Barcelona star Lionel Messi might often come off looking like Argentinian football's goody two-shoes, but he seems to be doing his best to shake off that image.

Football video: NAC Breda’s Anthony Lurling punches opponent

1
Giving a new meaning to penalty box Apparently punching a guy in the stomach is a red card offence these days! I just don't know what the world is coming to, and neither does NAC Breda's Anthony Lurling who clearly thought his body blow was within the laws of the game.

Nantes’ Remy Mareval hits a top corner beauty

2
Pick that one out There was absolutely nothing any goalkeeper could have done about Remy Mareval's strike for Nantes against Marseille in midweek. In fact, I doubt very much if a defender on the post could have done anything - at least not without having his head knocked off. You could say it was Mareval-ous strike.

Fox Sports Espanol commentator sings about Paul Scholes to the tune of Eye of the Tiger!

1
Crazy Hispanic commentator likes a singsong It's an oldie, but a goody. I had not seen this before. This is the commentator on Fox Sports Espanol's coverage of Manchester United's 2-0 victory over Liverpool in 2006 who seems to enjoy singing songs about the goalscorers. Goal, goal de Scholes...

Danny Kelly gets overexcited at Tottenham’s equaliser

TalkSport commentator screams of his love for football "Ohhhhhh, goal, Stan goal. I love football, Stan, I love it!" He sounds like he is broadcasting through Dom Joly's giant mobile phone. Personally, screaming out Stan Collymore's name in such an exuberant fashion would probably deprive me of sleep for a month or two. Click to continue reading...

Ruben de la Red collapses during Real Madrid match

3
Spain star out for the count during cup tie With the tragic death of Sevilla's Antonio Puerta last year still fresh in the memories of Spain's football fraternity, there was inevitably a lot of concern when Real Madrid midfielder Ruben de la Red collapsed during last night's Copa del Rey tie with Real Union.
