Lucas Melano Messi-Like Goal Clinches Portland A Spot In MLS Final

He's not Messi, but this Lucas Melano Messi-like goal would make La Pulga proud. The fellow Argentine went beast mode en route to a ridiculous goal that sealed the Timbers spot in the MLS final. Melano received a pass cutting into the box and proceeded to fake out not only FC Dallas defender Matt Hedges, but also goalkeeper Jesse Gonzalez. The fake passes we're executed perfectly which gave Melano just enough room to flick home the golazo. We're starting to think that Melano should be getting more minutes, because he obviously has the potential to play like his countryman Lionel Messi.

These Back To Back Golazos Are Impossible To Ignore: Mexico’s Biggest Star Is French

When Andre-Pierre Gignac first transferred from Marseille in Ligue 1 to  Tigres in Liga MX, my esteemed coworker Sam Klomhaus said something along the lines of, “What!?

These Near Misses Are More Mesmerizing Than The Greatest Goals Ever Scored

A missed opportunity is usually something that haunts you. You don’t want to think about it anymore, and really there is no point; you can’t reverse time and correct mistakes. This video, however, is something different. There’s a kind of wonder to be found in the greatest near misses compiled in it. They say that somethings are better left to the imagination, and I think that applies here in a unexpected way: we don’t know how great these goals would have been had the ball actually gone in, and that allows us to imagine them being something better than perhaps they really would be.

Just How Good Are The Pros? These Ridiculous Training Ground Goals Will Show You

An old soccer adage tells us that all goals count the same. A howitzer from 40-yards, a rabona from the corner or an own goal off the defender’s ass, each will be rewarded with a solitary point. Soccer doesn’t discriminate. Unless you’re on the training ground. In that case, training ground goals don’t really count for anything.

Luis Suarez Goals vs Roma

The eyes were on Lionel Messi ahead of Barcelona's Champions League match vs Roma. And of course, La Pulga delivered. Scoring the second of Barcelona's 3 first half goals with a classic chip over the goalkeeper. But the person who continued his perfect form? Lucho Suarez. The Uruguayan not only assisted Messi's goal, but he also gave fans a volley for the ages, when he wound up from just inside the box, and curled a left to right rip past the goalkeeper.

Liverpool Owns Manchester City

If you watched the Liverpool-Manchester City match on Saturday, the one thing you were probably thinking was, "what is going on?" A Kompnay-less Manchester City defense was shredded by Jurgen Klopp's bunch en rout to a 4-1 victory in the Etihad. All of Liverpool's goals vs Manchester City were beauties aside from the own-goal by Mangala. The Brazilian's for Liverpool were who stole the show though. Philipe Coutinho and Roberto Firminho each registered a goal and an assist to one another.

Two Youngsters Were Inserted Into A Dead Game. In 5 Minutes They Both Scored Golazos

Jesus “Tecatito” Corona and Jurgen Damm have been on our radar for quite some time. They are 22 and 23 respectively, and are the future of the Mexican national team; it’s hard to not get excited about them, especially Corona. Against Honduras in a World Cup Qualifier, the young Mexican stars justified our excitement. 

Zlatan Continues To Do Zlatan Things

Are there better goals out there than Zlatan goals? Sure, lots of players score epic golazo's, but Zlatan Ibrahimovic has this flare that is just so....Zlatan. There are three things that are certain in this world. Death, taxes and that Zlatan will do something cool every time he steps on a football pitch. The Swedish star scored two Zlatanesque goals en rout to a 2-0 victory over Denmark and then after the match, the dude said that he sent the entire country of Denmark into retirement. It's Zlatan's world and we are just along for the ride. 

England Goals Vs France

Fans stood with heavy hearts across the globe as England and France took the pitch today for an international friendly to momentarily allow people to take their minds off of the horrid events that occured last Friday in Paris. As red, white and blue lights glowed across the Wembley arch before the match, the old rivals set aside their footballing hate to stand united with one another. Then, it was the Three Lions show. Wayne Rooney and Dele Alli scored two beauties to give England a 2-0 victory over France.

In 1993, The Worst Team In Europe Set The Record For Fastest Goal Ever Scored

The “Most Serene Republic” of San Marino has a population of 32,000. It’s 24 square miles in size; it’s a speck surrounded completely by the nation of Italy. It’s shocking that European football's governing body, UEFA, allowed such a small nation — oh, sorry, an "enclaved microstate" — to be a member nation and field a national soccer team, but they have. You could argue San Marino hasn’t stopped paying for it since.
