Fernando Amorebieta would make Hulk Hogan get all misty eyed with this performance.  But where is the follow up leg drop? 
(I hope some of you watched wrestling as kids . . . if not?  That reference just flew straight over your head)
Now somebody get Messi an ice pack!

AIK play, you guessed it, IFK Göteborg in Gothenburg; Charlie Kaufman could hardly have scripted this better. With matters level at one late on (4.10 post-jump), Stefan Selakovic of IFK unleashes the most audacious left footed curler from the [...]]]></description>

The loss thrusts the spotlight back on Rafa Benitez.  But is such scrutiny deserved? [...]]]></description>

[101 Great Goals]
When Dr. Paul Morris laid out the ways and means of diving, giving referees the necessary tools to catch the culprit (failure thus far), he forgot two very, very important indicators:
i. The delay between perceived foul and the criminal going to ground.
ii. The &#8220;look back&#8221;. We&#8217;ll call this The Morten Gamst Pedersen (below).

Things tend to get a bit dicey in the bowels of Eastern European hooliganism, but even this is a bit much to swallow as true. Over this past weekend there was a bit of extracurriculars before the Sarajevo &#8211; Siroki Brijeg match which tragically resulted in the death of Vedran Puljic, a Sarajevo supporter.

[101 Great Goals]
Don&#8217;t Scandinavian footballers realize they have these crazy new inventions called televisions and from these televisions we can see pretty much damn near anything that happens on the field of play for 90 minutes? Mad, I know, but true. 
After yesterday&#8217;s subjective goal mouth regulations we get word of a &#8220;horror tackle&#8221; in [...]]]></description>

Oh wait. 
This is Kim Christensen. Kim is a goalkeeper for IFK Goteborg. Kim is also in a lot of trouble. Because, you see, Kim has a problem with this whole &#8220;regulated goal mouths&#8221; thing and he feels his goal should be just a wee bit smaller than the other guy&#8217;s. This will [...]]]></description>

So there are highlights from todays Russian Premier League match between Saturn and Spartak Moscow. Seems like quite a run of the mill match (the highlights are finished within a minute) with Saturn running out 2-1 winners. The clip claims to show All The Goals, which in a very real way, it does. But as [...]]]></description>

So after all the hoo-ha about Eduardo&#8217;s stumble and fall, this weekend bought up a few more similar incidents (inevitably) that made me question the keeper&#8217;s role in all this. I mean, although Eduardo clearly dived, he wouldn&#8217;t have had the chance had Boruc stayed up on his feet, made himself big and stopped any [...]]]></description>

Once the most feared striker in the world, he never really made an impact at Chelsea, which is a shame because it has tainted his once fearsome reputation, and he seemed to deal with the whole situation with some dignity. 
Regardless, there is [...]]]></description>
