Soccer

A moment of sheer joy turned into a moment of horror last week during a soccer a match in India when a player who scored a goal injured his spine while celebrating and later died.

Soccer's a fun spot. Sure. But you know what makes it better? Adorable dogs, of course! In fact, it's safe to say that adorable dogs make EVERYTHING better.

Having something embarrassing happen to you is one thing. Having something embarrassing happen to you while on television is another, especially with the way things go viral nowadays.

People act out in strange ways when they are angry, perhaps making them look back on their actions afterwards and wonder why the hell they did what they did. Luckily for them, though, those moments most likely won't go viral. That's not the case for Besnik Hasi, the head soccer coach for Royal Sports Club Anderlecht in the Netherlands.

Talk about being kicked while you're down. This injured soccer player is writhing in pain while waiting to be taken off the field on a stretcher. However, it would have helped if the person manning the front of the stretcher was able to accomplish that task.

With the World Cup having just finished up Sunday, everyone is still recovering from a case of soccer fever. This video, where a player accidentally(?) slaps a female referee square on the boob, will hopefully help in your recovery.

The US may have been eliminated from the World Cup, but there's at least one person in America who still has soccer fever.

The World Cup seems to be the most exciting thing going on in sports right now. And just like with any sport, fans seem to get overly excited and do things they might regret, whether under the influence or not.

CityNews reporter Natalie Duddridge was out at Toronto bars Saturday interviewing fans after Brazil's victory over Chile in their quarterfinal World Cup soccer match. When she turned to a fan to get a reaction about the game, the fan was obviously still amped up because what he said is one of the filthiest thing ever said on television. Dandridge didn't really recover that well.

England took on Italy in the first round of the World Cup over the weekend. As time was winding down Saturday in Manaus, Brazil, England found itself down 2-1. After a free kick by Italy deflected off the crossbar and out of bounds, England's goalie, Joe Hart, was pretty anxious for his goal kick. Like really really anxious.

If the World Cup can unite people of different cultures, then the lower tiers of soccer should take note. Especially this league in Romania.

Soccer has come a long way in America. Adriana Lima is about to bring it a little further.
