Stride length mismatch there, and Messi doesn't need to be fast over more than 10 yards anyway. And Kaka was loving fast before he got fat and died and then came back to life again.

Also Messi's use of gear making him overmuscled and unable to sprint as quickly or whatever.

Probably means the other one where he just bursts past the centrebacks after receiving the ball in a not especially dangerous position. He absolutely owned us in that game, RIP

There are probably championship players who are faster than Messi in a sprint like that. Never thought of him as a speed merchant, except over 10yds.

I love goals where defenders collide as they try to put in desperate challenges. It's also great when they clatter into the post.

Cannavaro's collision in this vid isn't the most spectacular but for some reason it gets me every time. I think it's how he straightens as he hits the post following his leap and then collapses.

Edit: beaten by El Hefe.

http://deadspin.com/5977729/how-the-song-seven-nation-army-conquered-the-sports-world

Story about how the Seven Nation Army riff became so popular.

quote:

Fans of Club Brugge K.V., in town for their team's group-stage UEFA Champions League clash against European giant A.C. Milan, gathered to knock back some pre-match beers. Over a stereo blared seven notes: Da...da-DA-da da DAAH DAAH, the signature riff of a minor American hit song...

...Kickoff was coming. The visiting Belgians moved out into the city center, still singing. They kept chanting it in the stands of the San Siro—Oh...oh-OH-oh oh OHH OHH—as Peruvian striker Andres Mendoza stunned Milan with a goal in the 33rd minute and Brugge made it hold up for a shocking 1-0 upset. Filing out of the stadium, they continued to belt it out.

The song traveled back to Belgium with them, and the Brugge crowd began singing it at home games.

It goes on.

Most players needed oxygen and some like Messi even threw up, Bolivia are poo poo their only gimmick is playing in the clouds.

Was that the match that Maradona decided the best way to acclimatise was to arrive 2 hours before the match not 2 weeks because he thought it was take longer for the lack of oxygen to affect the players?

A 20-stone, unemployed, 'Welsh Maradona' is on his way to the World Freestyle Football Championships in Dubai after his amazing football skills wowed the internet.

Andrew Cassidy, 50, from Milton Haven in Pembrokeshire was filmed on a mobile phone last weekend showing incredible keepy-uppy skills with his legend quickly spreading across the globe.

When the first video came out, people did not know who the man in the video was, just that he was Welsh, but Andrew has since been tracked down and his whirlwind fame has already seen him invited to be a VIP star guest at this year's World Freestyle Championships in the United Arab Emirates.
