I Watch Atlético For The Bench-Clearing Brawl And 90th-Minute Red Card. They Always Deliver
There's nothing better than a well executed slow burn.

Rafael Soriano has entered the Douchebag Hall Of Fame for assaulting a referee then claiming the ref was milking it “because she’s a woman.” The Desportiva Ferrovíaria coach was red carded then fired after the match.
Soriano came onto the pitch to argue a call at the start of halftime during a fifth-tier Campeonato Capixava match against Nova Venecia on Sunday in Espirito Santo, Brazil. He left as a reviled asshole, headbutting assistant referee Marcielly Netto in the nose.
An assistant manager in Spain pulled a Moonlight Graham on Sunday, crossing that foreboding white line and onto the hallowed green grass, but his reward wasn't the eternal bliss of playing catch with Shoeless Joe Jackson — he got a shove in the back, a red card and cries for his dismissal at Colmenar Viejo and the revocation of his coaching license. Real life is nothing like Hollywood.
Western Sydney Wanderers goalkeeper Daniel Margush had a blunder of all blunders on Saturday. With his team up a man and leading 1-0 with only minutes left in the game, the three points were practically guaranteed.
Then disaster struck.
Luego de una semana de análisis, la comisión disciplinaria de la Liga MX informó el castigo que recibirá Matías Kranevitter tras su artera agresión a Yeferson Soteldo, ocurrida durante el último clásico regio entre Tigres y Monterrey.
De acuerdo al tribunal, el defensa de Rayados deberá perderse dos jornadas y pagar una multa económica no especificada por su vil conducta.
Canada could have clinched an outright berth in the World Cup for the first time since 1986 with a draw or win against Costa Rica on Thursday (and in the process helped give the USMNT a little breathing room in its quest to return to soccer’s showcase event). Instead, the Canucks got a little lesson in Concacafy-ness, with a controversial Mark-Anthony Kaye red card vs. Costa Rica resulting in a 1-0 defeat to Los Ticos on Thursday.
En tiempos en los que la Liga MX trata de desplegar un mensaje de paz en sus estadios, los jugadores del Atlas y las Chivas poco aportaron a la causa.
Empujones, un intento de asfixia y gestos obscenos fueron parte de un clásico tapatío áspero y que terminó con tres expulsados.
It was one of the longest halves in Jesse Marsch’s career, both literally and figuratively. The new Leeds United coach had to replace three of his starters with first-half injuries and in the 11th minute of added time Wolverhampton scored a second goal that seemingly consigned the American to a third defeat in four matches since taking the job.
Raúl Jiménez tuvo un día de perros ante el Leeds United. El delantero mexicano falló un par de ocasiones de gol de manera clamorosa, recibió su segunda tarjeta roja de la temporada y tras su expulsión los Wolves colapsaron y desperdiciaron el 2-0 que tenían a su favor.
El primer traspié en la cuenta del Lobo fue su falta de finiquito. Si bien acumula seis tantos durante esta campaña, hay consenso de que el jugador no está fino y un intento de tijera a los 13' refleja un poco el nivel de puntería del goleador por estos días.
