Antony's trademark skill is so entirely useless that it's the best in the game

The moment we've been waiting for finally arrived Thursday during Manchester United's Europa League match against Sheriff. With the score level at 0-0 and his marker smartly giving him room, the trademark Antony spin skill — followed directly by an overweighted pass — was unleashed.

The sequence has gotten a lot of hate (the British absolutely despise this sort of thing) but that's because the internet is a foul place where joy and individual expression go to die.

Antoine Griezmann strikes an Olimpico in two-goal game for Atlético Madrid

Two second-half goals from Antoine Griezmann, one scored directly from a corner kick, gave Atlético Madrid a 2-1 win at Real Betis on Sunday, extending their unbeaten run in LaLiga to five games.

Atlético climbed back to third in the standings on 23 points, eight behind leaders Real Madrid and two from second-placed Barcelona, who have a game in hand and host Athletic Bilbao later on Sunday. Betis are fifth on 20 points.

It was Atlético's fifth win in six away games this season, and Betis's first loss at home.

Alphonso Davies roasts a man while cooking up a delicious assist

If you're having trouble visualizing what Canada's Alphonso Davies is about to do to the old man legs of Belgium and Croatia in World Cup Group F, Wednesday's DFB-Pokal match between Bayern Munich and Augsburg offered the perfect illustration.

Augsburg took an early lead at its home ground but Bayern struck back through an Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting brace and one from Joshua Kimmich to go up 3-1 with 30 minutes still to play. A Dayot Upamecano own goal gave Augsburg hope at 3-2, but it's the hope that kills you.

20-year-old USMNT talent Malik Tillman scores incredible solo goal for Rangers

Get Malik Tillman on the plane.

The 20-year-old USMNT prodigy is at that nascent stage in his career where there's going to be ebbs and flows. Tillman arrived on loan at Rangers from Bayern Munich and had an incredible August — scoring in both Champions League qualifying and the Scottish Premiership — but a downturn in form saw him left on the bench for Rangers' last league match and Wednesday's 7-1 UCL defeat to Liverpool at the Ibrox.

Messi, Pogba and Ronaldinho star in Pepsi's ‘Nutmeg Royale’ ahead of the World Cup

Pepsi is not an official sponsor of the 2022 FIFA World Cup — that position belongs to eternal rival Coca-Cola. But a smart way to save money while cashing in on the global phenomenon is by associating with the event in more creative ways — like by getting Lionel Messi, Paul Pogba, Ronaldinho, Fabrizio Romano, RECEBA!!! and Kaljit Atwal to sell your products in a place that vaguely looks like Qatar but isn't.

University Of Arizona's Sami Baytosh Scores From 15 Yards Out While On The Ground

Here's a game-winning goal unlike any you've ever seen before.

On Sunday, the University of Arizona welcomed UC Davis to Murphey Field in Tucson for a non-conference meeting between the 2-2-2 Wildcats and the 3-3-2 Aggies.

That game's lone goal was scored by Arizona freshman midfielder Sami Baytosh (her second of the season) in the 37th minute, as somehow, someway she managed to lob the goalkeeper from 15 yards out ... while sitting on the ground.

This Has To Be The Most Effective Drag Back Ever Executed

Sunday, Sept. 4 at 4:34 p.m. local time. Thanks to the timestamp on this security footage, we know exactly when the most effective drag back in the game's history occurred.

This looks like a pretty pleasant afternoon at the pub — elders sipping on beer and kids milling around with a football — but it ends in tragedy (a spilt foamer and funcussion). 

Rafael Leão Has Turned A Simple Stepover Into The Game's Most Devastating Move

Another match, another $10 million added to Rafael Leão's constantly rising market value.

On Wednesday in AC Milan's Champions League group stage encounter with Dinamo Zagreb at the San Siro, Leão was again the Rossoneri's catalyst in a 3-1 victory. The 23-year-old drew the foul that led to Olivier Giroud's opener from the spot, and then he burst past his marker and clipped a cross into the area that was met by Alexis Saelemaekers for Milan's second.
