Clumsy defender gets caught ball-watching Basic defensive coaching tells you to keep your eyes on the ball, but common sense dictates that you should probably have at least half-an-eye maintaining awareness that you are not about to run into any 8ft tall poles. It is a lesson Ignacio Falco of Lees-McRae College learnt the hard way! Click to continue reading...

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.

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...

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...

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...

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.

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.

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...

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...

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...

Inanimate object makes mockery of footballer Karlsruhe's Maik Franz was eager to show just how annoyed he was at being sent-off during his side's defeat to Schalke last night.

Player gets yellow card, but spared the plank Chipstead's Daryl Coleman wasn't going to let his fifteen seconds of fame go to waste when he scored a beautiful free-kick during his side's 4-1 defeat to Torquay.

So that's where Paul Robinson got the idea... I didn't wake up and decide it was National Pan Steve McClaren Day (surely every day is Pan Steve McClaren Day), but that is the way it has turned out. Thanks to Off The Post reader Koert for spotting this beauty. Fast-forward 4mins six seconds into this video [. Click to continue reading...

Hen Wlad Fy Nhadau (extended remix) Just days after Off The Post brought you Harry and Paul's mickey take of obscure little countries with never-ending national anthems, and we spotted this happening in the real world.

God Save The Queen, the fascist regime Comedians Harry Enfield and Paul Whitehouse poke fun at the seemingly endless national anthems of some of the national teams England come up against (and also at the disinterested approach of many England players).

Party of Liverpool goalie's house The Spain national football team's sponsor, lager Cruzcampo, promised every member of the squad their weight in beer if they made it past the quarter finals of Euro 2008.

And people say the MLS isn't as professional as the Premier League. Pah! When you're club captain is suspended you expect him to be sitting in the crowd urging his team-mates on and maybe even popping into the dressing room with some half-time words of advice, no? Apparently not at MLS outfit Columbus Crew. Click to continue reading...
