Tottenham’s 4-3 victory vs. Manchester United in the EFL Cup on Thursday was full of bizarre moments. No instance was better than the Lisandro Martínez Son corner kick drama in the final minutes of the game.

With Spurs leading 3-2, the South Korean superstar was taking his time walking over to the corner flag for a set piece. Martínez, to the displeasure of the home crowd, went over and told Son to hurry up.

The United defender would instantly regret telling Son to get on with the corner kick as the Spurs forward then scored directly from the set piece.

Donovan is quite the counter-jinx to getting American players back into their best form.

U.S. men’s national team legend, Landon Donovan, made headlines in the last week after making bold comments on what he thinks Giovanni Reyna’s future move should be, suggesting the 22-year-old look for a transfer to MLS amidst continuous injuries and lack of playing time for Borussia Dortmund.

A third-tier Croatian club have ruffled the feathers of Premier League side Brighton and Hove Albion due to having a VERY similar looking crest. NK Jadran Galeb compete in Croatia and adopted a familiar look for the club’s logo.

The story gets funnier. Allegedly a member of the Croatian club visited the Brighton offices in England and informed them of the similarity between the clubs. The person in question then metaphorically swung for the fences and asked if Brighton would donate to NK Jadran Galeb in the form of equipment.

Weston McKennie is on Cloud 9 after scoring a fabulous scissor kick goal against Manchester City in the Champions League on Wednesday. His biggest haters, Leeds United fans, appear to be in shambles on social media.

After Wednesday's game McKennie did an interview with CBS and was asked by Micah Richards about his loan spell with Leeds United.

Manchester City are experiencing one of their worst runs of form in years with just a single win in their last nine games. Nothing seems to be going right, and footage of a Man City penalty practice reflects that perfectly.

During a livestream of City’s practice on Tuesday something unthinkable happened. Phil Foden, Jack Grealish, Ilkay Gundogan and Erling Haaland all missed penalty kicks in training. The worst part? There wasn’t even a goalkeeper in goal.

The United States men’s national team secured a 1-0 victory against the Reggae Boyz in Kingston, Jamaica, on Thursday in what can only be described as a Concacafy match.

Thursday’s Concacaf Nations League quarterfinal leg 1 saw several skirmishes, a field that looked more like a rug going through a blender, Jamaica having their own band/cheerleaders, a red card, 90 minutes of sloppy play and one cameraman who got bored during the game.

Sounds about Concacaf.

Premier League referee David Coote has been suspended and is now being investigated by UEFA following a video posted by The Sun showing him snorting white powder and then another clip of him making vulgar comments about former Liverpool manager Jürgen Klopp.

The video allegedly took place in July this summer while Coote was on duty for Euro 2024 as support VAR. The 42-year-old was staying in a hotel assigned by UEFA.

A play-by-play announcer had an all-time reaction on Wednesday when Stanford’s men’s soccer team defeated Notre Dame 3-2 with a goal from midfield and one second left on the clock.

The time in college soccer isn’t like the pros as the clock counts down and the game ends when time expires. This means that buzzer-beaters are possible on the pitch.
