God how this video nearly collapses under its own weirdness. The dense Irish accents, the sedated look on the kid’s face, the sequined drag-queen on the bicycle…
But damned if that kid doesn’t rescue the whole operation in the final seconds, albeit at the expense of Darren Fletcher.
How do you turn beach soccer, a game best played barefoot and with beer-coozy in hand, into a chair-hurling riot? Hold a Beach Soccer World Cup and invite Argentina, a nation teetering on the edge of soccer chaos.
Too bad the AFA’s ban on away fans doesn’t apply internationally…or to beaches.
We’ve heard plenty about the football diddlings of Rod Stewart, Gavin Rossdale, and Noel Gallagher. But only Serge Pizzorno, guitarist for UK rockers Kasabian, can claim the best goal ever scored in SoccerAM’s “Road to Wembley” competition. And though it may not reach the heights of the one-armed bandit hitting Helen “properly in the face,” it’s a great strike nonetheless.
Last week’s DC United-Revs game was legitimately entertaining, save for the excrutiating color work of Wynalda and Arena. Missed it? Don’t worry: they’re doing the final as well.
And if you haven’t yet enjoyed the comedic stylings of Eric Wynalda’s television career, the video below can act as a primer. NOTE: if it doesn’t make your skin crawl, consider yourself a fan. Also, I have some used cars you might be interested in.
Early last month, Rio Ferdinand got himself into hot water for a homophobic slip-up on BBC Radio 1. Judging from the video below, however, Rio is just nelly enough to pull off a wavering falsetto in this high school musical production.
No words, just respect for the stealthy, arced run combined with the shuffle-sprint. Perfect execution. Rising applause. Tears in his eyes, we guess.
If you’re among the growing number of souls who feel South American football is one jalapeno away from total chaos, this video won’t do anything to change your opinion. Straight from the Ecudaorian league, we give you the truly ridiculous sight of two balls in play at once.
NOTE: Two balls or one ball, that’s some piss-poor defending at the back-post.
Soccer A.M. entertains us to no end; most of the time intentionally, but often not. The following clip puts the ever so fetching hostess, Helen Chamberlain, squarely in the path of cruel fate and sees her emerge with professionalism in tact. She easily could have followed “I got one right in the face,” with, “and I think it was the armless bloke.” She didn’t, and instead laughs her way through it. Well done.
To laugh, or not to laugh. That is the question.
Or, to be more specific: is this, or is this not, video taken during a Special Olympics match. If yes, then it features a heartwarming display of unbridled joy…and we’re sorry we laughed at it. If no, then it features a ridiculously spastic celebration we have no problem laughing at. It really is all relative.
