Who Said Soccer Isn’t High-Scoring

Viana Esporte is a low-level Brazilian soccer club and found themselves up 2-0 in the 81st minute. However, they learned that the team closest to them in the standings had advanced ahead of them thanks to winning their final game 5-1. Because goal differential was a tie-breaker, Viana Espotre would need 9 goals to advance.

Then they did it, 9 goals in 9 minutes. I wonder if this is like how Ichiro claims he could hit lots of home runs if he wanted to but just doesn’t; are these soccer players able to just score at will and choosing not to?

I will say it looks like the defense just totally gives up at multiple points, they aren’t even half-assing it, more like one-eighth-assing.

Get Up You Wuss

Soccer players have the reputation that they hate contact, the slightest touch can set them to flopping and falling and complaining. That’s not the case with Brazilian midfielder Sergio Escudero who bravely soldiers on despite a breeze pushing the linesman’s flag to almost touch his face.

Nah, just kidding, he of course flops down like someone shot him and then looks up astonished at the linesman who I hope tells him to stop being a pussy and get up.
