We haven’t had a whole lot of woman’s soccer coverage here on JOCKpost (other than the nude German soccer team, of course), but I’ll be damned if I haven’t been kind of excited watching the run these US woman are going on.
Thankfully, I was lucky enough to turn on the game against France almost immediately [...]

Just remember, after the hookers steal your s**t, you don’t call the cops to tell them about it.
This seemingly simple advice was not heeded a few nights ago, when the Mexican team was competing in the Copa America — a soccer tournament in South America — in Ecuador.
While celebrating yet another win, eight Mexican players invited [...]

Whatever you do, don’t moon a drunk Welshman.
At an end of year party, an unnamed 37-year-old soccer player for Tenby AFC (Wales) thought it would funny to moon his teammates.
Some people get into mooning while others, like me, have no interest in seeing any man’s hairy ass.
Apparently the recipient of said mooning was not appreciative. He grabbed [...]

This is probably one of the sickest goals you’ll ever see.
About 20 seconds into a UEFA Champions League match between Inter Milan and Schalke, Dejan Stankovic side volleys a shot about 50-60 yards into an open goal.
The trajectory of the shot is what’s most impressive.  The fact that the ball traveled almost in a straight [...]

The saddest part of this story: 17-year-old Christopher Jacome made more news headlines after his death than during it.
The best part: his life and his name (which normally would never have made major American news headlines) will forever live on in the annals of Google cache. [El Mundo Spanish | El Mundo English ]
Columbia is [...]

Everyone’s favorite headbutter, Zinedine Zidane, was at a youth soccer camp participating in a few drills.
On a breakaway he decided to remind everyone why he was once considered the best soccer player in the world by completely embrassing the awaiting goalie.
Who wouldn’t kill to get schooled by their hero? Zidane apologized to the kid afterward, [...]

This could be Chelsea soccer superstar Ashley Cole’s most accurate shot this year.
While “larking around” with a loaded .22 in the changing room, he shot 21-year-old intern Tom Cowan from five feet away.  Fortunately for the intern, it was an air rifle loaded with a pellet.
The pellet still supposedly went into Cowan’s side and caused [...]

The second I heard that players in the World Cup could be forced to play soccer in 120 degree heat, it really made me wonder what the hell these FIFA officials were thinking. Granted, I was disappointed that the U.S. did not win the bid to host the Cup in 2022, but seriously 120 degrees? [...]

250 people were injured, including 30 police, in a riot that occurred after a soccer match in Amman, Jordan. 
Watch the video below.  The riot police are ruthless, hitting the s**t out of people with their sticks.
Supposedly, it is quite common for riots such as these to occur after soccer matches between rivals in Jordan.
Stones were [...]

It’s every keeper’s worst nightmare.  Every U-13 goalie in the world is scared to death of it.
The ball slowly rolls to you.  You are the only thing standing between the ball and your own goal.  You swing your leg to kick the ball toward your midfielder and…
Oh, s**t.  You missed the ball.  You turn in [...]

Just another broken leg soccer video.  This time in slow motion.  Do not watch this if you are eating.
What really sucks is the dickbag in red clearly did it on purpose.  His stomp was nowhere near the ball.  Hopefully the soccer gods teach this guy a valuable lesson. 

Today In Switzerland, representatives from 5 different countries made their pitch to be the host country for the 2022 World Cup. The 5 Countries, United States, Qatar, SouthKorea, Japan, and Australia all used different tactics when it came to schmoozing the judges. The Australians used a Cartoon Kangaroo Mascot, Japan used 3-D technology, and South Korea [...]
