A Good Reminder to Never Celebrate Early

Man, this is just brutal to watch. Bangkok Sports Club and Satri Angthong were in a heated battle during the Thailand Cup. As regulation ended, the score was just 2-2. But then we went to penalty kicks. And that's where the fun really began.

By the time the kick below happened, the score was 19-19. AMAZING. With so many goals scored, you can understand why the Satri goalkeeper was pretty pumped when a kick hit the upper crossbar and seemed to bounce out of harm's way.

Sadly for said goalkeeper, though...the ball took an odd spin and hopped right back into the goal. Satri then missed their next penalty kick (for real this time), giving Bangkok the 20-19 win. Sports are silly.

This Just In: Leo Messi is Good


Taking down the dreams of the U.S. Men's National Team with him, Argentina's Leo Messi broke the all-time scoring record in his club's 4-0 victory Tuesday night in the semifinals of the Copa America Centenario. Naturally, he did it with an absurdly amazing goal on a free kick. Just watch and marvel.

U.S. Women's World Cup Goal In Spanish Makes Everything Better





As I said in my post yesterday, I'm not a big fan of soccer. I barely watched any of the Women's World Cup, in fact. Someone suggested this is because of some bias against women. No. I watched the same amount of soccer during the Men's World Cup, which is to say, barely any.

Either way, there may be a solution here: legendary Spanish broadcaster Andrés Cantor should be on every single broadcast of every single soccer match. His "GOOOOOOOOOOOAL" call is amazing, and makes things better. Let's make this happen.
