Today in astonishing goalkeeping mistakes
Friday, April 8 2016 was apparently the day of a global competition to see who could make the most absurd goalkeeping error. Mickael Roche, who you might remember as the sacrificial lamb in goal for Tahiti during their 10-0 loss to Spain the 2013 Confederations Cup, was an early front runner with his own goal that defies all logic in an Oceania Champions League match.
Andrea Pirlo disappointed with the quality of shampoo in the U.S.
Andrea Pirlo was voted as having the best hair on NYCFC, which naturally warranted an interview conducted by teammate Mikey Lopez. This interview presented a chance to see that Pirlo’s English has reached the point where he is now able to disparage the quality of shampoo in the United States.
Usually when players go to MLS from other parts of the world, they are quick to highlight the quality of life as a major reason for their move, but this warning about the substandard shampoo could prompt other Serie A stars to stay away.
If MLS commissioner Don Garber wants to fulfill his promise of making the league one of the best in the world, he’s going to have to do something about this shampoo situation.

Christine Sinclair scores excellent spinning volley against Costa Rica
The CONCACAF Women’s Olympic Qualifying Championship has produced some brilliant goals and this is another one. Canada’s Christine Sinclair took advantage of a botched clearance attempt by Costa Rica in the semifinals to set herself up for a beautiful spinning volley.
Canada went on to win 3-1 to put them in the final against the U.S., but since both finalists automatically qualify for the Olympic tournament, both sides have already won. Sinclair’s three goals in this tournament put her past Mia Hamm on the international all-time top scorer’s list with 161 goals. Only the recently retired Abby Wambach has more (184).
BREAKING: Jose Mourinho still thinks very highly of himself
If you thought getting sacked by Chelsea for a second time and seeing the team’s uptick in form under Guus Hiddink would have humbled Jose Mourinho, you must not know who we’re talking about.
Ahead of his scheduled visit to the San Siro this weekend to see former club Inter face Sampdoria, Mourinho made it clear that his ego has not been deflated by his current situation.

Vicent Tan gives Cardiff City players terrible advice
We haven’t had much Vincent Tan news since Cardiff City were relegated from the Premier League two years ago, but that’s only because he’s been using this time to learn. And now, with his club sitting ninth in the Championship, he’s ready to share his knowledge with the Cardiff players and revolutionize the game at the same time.
Indoor goalkeeper scores basket with clearance attempt, concedes goal while celebrating
A goalkeeper in an indoor football match attempted a sliding clearance, sending the ball through a basketball hoop along the side of the gym. It was a rather impressive accident, but while he celebrated the feat, the quick thinking opposition scored with his back turned (on the goal, not the basket).
This is why it’s always important to only focus on one sport at a time.
