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.

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!

These accomplishments also tend to lead to some pretty entertaining celebrations. Take a step into the time machine and relive these incredible game winners: Hail Flutie It’s [...]

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

Duke Keith — Thu, 16 Aug 2012 13:50:04 +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 [...]

Sports Cuteness: Daughter Consoles Dad After Soccer Loss [VIDEO]

Duke Keith — Thu, 17 May 2012 15:05:38 +0000

In the rest of the world, if your soccer team sucks badly enough, they send it to the minor leagues. It’s called relegation, and it can be as harsh as it sounds. Big money, big TV, big player contracts — all gone because you lost. Midfielder Rogier Meijer’s team, De Graafschap, was relegated on the final day of the season. The catastrophic loss sent him to the turf…where his daughter came out to console her dad!

Does EP Need a Soccer Complex? Yes — More Than a Baseball Stadium [OPINION]

The Paso del Norte Group’s hand-picked sports consultant seems to see it. El Paso native Omar Salgado being picked first in Major League Soccer’s draft last year supports it. And if we have the gonads to put votes and money on the line, it may even come to pass. The best thing El Paso could [...]

Why People Hate Soccer, Exhibit A: Diving [VIDEO]

Duke Keith — Wed, 11 Apr 2012 15:39:01 +0000

I love soccer. I'm ready, once again, to work with the El Paso Patriots during their season beginning in May. But it's safe to say not everyone likes the sport, here. Players diving to draw fouls is one big reason why -- watch Real Madrid's Pepe take a dive bad enough to get the announcers to laugh. He even kicks his own teammate who's trying to get him to stop!

Brazilian Chicks Juggle Balls in Thongs. Still Think Soccer Is Boring? [VIDEO]

Duke Keith — Fri, 30 Mar 2012 15:57:33 +0000

This must be why they call soccer “The Beautiful Game”. Meet some lovely Brazilian ladies who do some astounding tricks with balls. It’s the Red Bull Roda de Bola team. What does “Roda de Bola” mean? How about WHO CARES?! But if you do care, it translates to something like the Harlem Globetrotters “magic circle”.

According to Iranian state television, two footballers have been banned from even entering any stadium in the country (let alone playing in one) after they decided that grabbing their teammates' backsides during goal celebrations in a match televised live across Iran was a good idea.

Cheapest of Soccer Cheap Shots [VIDEO]

Duke Keith — Wed, 27 Jul 2011 13:46:12 +0000

Anyone who knows me knows I love soccer, but when it comes to cheap shots I cannot argue that soccer has some doozies. This one might take the cake. It was a battle (literally!) of U20 squads from Sport Recife and Vasco de Gama in Brazil. A hard foul got teams pushing and shoving before Sport goalie Gustavo flew in Jackie Chan style, ass-whipped one of his own teammates and delivered a cleats-first head kick to Vasco's Elivelton!

Here's The Wacky Back-Heel Soccer Penalty Kick [VIDEO]

Duke Keith — Tue, 19 Jul 2011 12:48:07 +0000

The sports world is watching it. Scott Ronson commented on it. His own coach hates him for it. And here it is: United Arab Emirates soccer player Theyab Awana's back-heel penalty kick against Lebanon really ticked off the Lebanese and was considered "unsporting" by his own team. I have to think it's more because UAE was already whipping Lebanon, 5-2, so everyone thought it was piling on.

Okay, so you read the headline and you're thinking: mutually exclusive terms. German women's soccer and Playboy? Holy pit hair, Batman! In the name of all that is Hefner, they wouldn't, would they? Even German Playboy?

[Video] Epic Fail! Goalie Celebrates Too Soon And Doesn't Notice The Ball Crossing The Goal

Monster — Fri, 10 Jun 2011 16:32:55 +0000

This is what you call great camera work. Check out this funny video of a goalie celebrating after he thinks that he has stopped a penalty kick. The only problem is that the ball bounces back and slowly goes back into the goal and the kick is good. When the other team gets the penalty shot, [...]

Englishman Ian Darke’s “Go-Go, USA!” goal call of Landon Donovan’s stoppage time winner that lifted the US over Algeria in World Cup 2010 will live forever as one of the classic calls in American sports. But if US Soccer ever starts looking for some American excitement, look no further than Gus Johnson and Bill Raftery. [...]
