Somewhere Over the Rainbow
In the same way that Arena Football isn’t real football, indoor soccer isn’t REAL soccer; but when you make an awesome move, it’s awesome everywhere. For example, here’s some unknown — to me — Brazilian player helping himself out by serving up a rainbow to himself and then heading it home. Not too shabby.
You’re certainly allowed some preening after making such an incredible shot, but at the same time, I like how he tempers himself, after all, if he were REALLY good he’d be out on a real field…

His Balls are Deadly Accurate
The best video you’ll see of a Frenchman kicking a soccer ball into random objects that you’re likely to see ALL week; it’s a little long, but it’s all enjoyable.

You Were Told to Be QUIET
On the 5-year anniversary of an attempted attack on the Dutch royal family that instead killed 6 innocent bystanders, fans at a soccer game between FC Utrecht and Feyenoord on May 3 rose for a moment of silence.
One fan though started shouting during the silence. According to FC Utrecht chairman Jan Willem van Dop, other fans helped identify the man.
“We made it clear to him we will not tolerate this in our stands,” van Dop said in a statement. “The man expressed his regret for his actions and apologized to the club.”
On Friday, the fan learned exactly how the club will not tolerate his actions, when he received a ban on attending any events at the stadium for 5 years.
The Peruvian soccer team traveled to Columbia over the weekend to play another game in the South American World Cup qualifying group. They lost 1-0 to the Columbians but that wasn’t all that they lost in Columbia. When the team arrived back in Lima they realized that they had left behind one of their players, Hernan Rengifo!
The team it turns out left Medellin and their hotel early, somehow forgetting to let Rengifo know. Oops!
“What happened with the team and the journey will remain on the consciences of the directors. They know their responsibilities,” Rengifo said. “The directors know what they did, they’re responsible for everyone in the team. Many things have happened in Peruvian football that it’s not surprising that unusual situations keep happening.”
Peru remains in last place for qualifying for the Cup.

That is a Long-Distance Goal
I agree with Punte over at With Leather, goals this far out should count extra. I guess this is what was going on out on the field while the fans were getting all riled up.

Face Meet Fist
Not content with letting England get all the credit for soccer hooliganism, one Mexican soccer fan does his best to make sure his home country gets its due too by punching a woman sitting next to him in the face. If there are classy things than that, I don’t know them.
(Since I can’t stop the video from auto-playing, after the jump check out the video) Continue reading ‘Face Meet Fist’

Serious as a Heart Attack
Anthony Van Loo was minding his own business in the 44th minute of a soccer game in the Belgian soccer leagues when he suddenly suffered a heart attack. Van Loo, who suffers from a heart condition, has a defibrillator previously installed in his chest and after collapsing on the pitch, it activated, shocking him back alive and likely saving his life. He was taken off the field for precautionary reasons.

Soccer Players are Really Tough
Remember the soccer player who flopped when the breeze from the linesman’s flag brushed by him, well, he’s got company now in the world of professional flopping. Here the coach goes for the headbutt, fails and then both decide to take the two biggest falls possible.
I don’t understand how soccer players keep getting all these incredibly good-looking women when they are all such wusses.
Everton midfielder Marouane Fellaini is most readily known for his giant afro; however, according to the semi-horsefaced Natalie Rooney (cousin of ManU’s star Wayne Rooney) who has been seeing Fellaini, the “collar and cuffs definitely don’t match.”
“I absolutely love his hair.
“It’s like a big Afro, it’s everywhere. But he shaves it ‘elsewhere…’”
Natalie said: “He doesn’t speak much English and it’s mostly French channels on his TV so we have to entertain ourselves in other ways. The only French I know is ‘Voulez vous coucher avec moi ce soir’ – but it seemed to work well!”
So, there you go, now you know about a Belgishian’s (ed. that’s definitely not what they’re called…) pubic hair. Happy Memorial Day!
Oh and according to his wikipedia page, Fellaini is known for his heading ability and stamina. Enjoy ladies!

Women Drivers Be Crazy
The last time we had Andrei Arshavin here on the Report, he was coming off a phenomenal 4-goal performance for Arsenal; today he’s back for a different reason. In an interview with the Daily Mail, the Russian-born striker talked about how, as a child, he was struck by a car and nearly killed. “I was crossing the street when two trams appeared at the station,” Arshavin said, “I didn’t see the car which hit me. I went flying ten metres up in the air. It is a miracle I am still alive.”
So, of course, it is a simple leap in logic from there, to Arshavin’s next comments:
If I had it in my power to introduce a ban on women driving cars and to withdraw all their licences, I would do it without thinking twice. In my opinion a woman and a man are two absolutely different creatures.
Classy!
Arshavin, seen above with his long-time girlfriend Yulia and one of their two children should know, after all he once studied for a fashion degree and even has a woman’s clothing line. Woman are just so totally different right man! At least Andrei knows what he’s looking for in a lass, “I like tall, slim girls with narrow thighs and tiny bums,’ he said. “If a girl is like this I do not pay attention to her breasts. Hair colour doesn’t matter either. What is really important is her style and manners.”

Consider Me an Official Fan Now
Playing in Northern Ireland is tough enough, so in order to drum up some publicity, Linfield FC launched their new away jerseys with some fanfare, or more accurately, Lucy Evangalista, a former Miss Northern Ireland.
I was unaware Evangalista was an Irish name, but I’ll look well past that because she isn’t wearing any pants.
I find it particularly amusing that alone, she can pose in just her underwear, but when the team’s players show up she has to put shorts on. Whateves, to mix metaphors, I have a new horse in the Northern Ireland soccer game!
