EPL: Manchester City v Wigan Highlights

Apparently, Wigan has hired a Robert Green to mind the posts for them, or at least in today's game. Right through the five hole. Man City wins 1-0.

Don't Be THAT Guy

If you are going to do this before a penalty, make sure you stop said penalty.

Your Goal of the Week

Well, it wasn't so much that it was recent... it was about three years ago, but here it is anyways.

And if you were wonder, yeah, it's a legal freekick.

Not quite sure how this can happen, but in an Argentinean league match, a ref managed to hand out 36 red cards. Here's the video (and no, not all the reds are shown, but surprisingly there are some goal highlights).

The teams in question were Claypole and Victoriano Arenas.

Kind of like the joke, "I went to a fight and a hockey game broke out."

Hero of the Day

Two CONCACAF Champions League games tonight, each determining a semifinalist. First, after winning the first leg at home 2-0 on goals by Javier Orozco and Christian Gimenez, Cruz Azul travels to Estadio Corona of Torreon, home of Santos Laguna, runner-up to Monterrey in the recently completed Torneo Apertura. One would expect Santos Laguna to win at home, and it would be a question of aggregate score, but that is not what happened. Instead, the man pictured here, Emanuel Villa of Argentina, was the best pro soccer player in North America tonight.

It's About That Time

It's starting to get warmer... I think. In preparation for you getting back on the pitch, here's a little to surprise your opponents.

Now go break some ankles, son.
