Sorry it's a bit late but here are some of the things seen in the footballing world that amused us last week between the 31st July - 6th Aug. Goalkeeping gaffes, genius celebrations and skills, we've got it here.

 

 

 

First up, we'll admit laughing at our rivals is something we enjoy

Remember the beach ball? Laughing at Liverpool is something we don't exactly mind doing, after all they'd laugh at us! Here's their defender doing a great job against Borussia Monchengladbach in a pre season friendly.

Laughing at Chelsea isn't far behind in enjoyment either. They will be hoping Cech gets fit as soon as possible after this effort by Hilario against Eintracht Frankfurt.

More goalkeeping and defending howlers..

Norwich's John Ruddy has obviously been watching too much of Robert Green.

In Israel, the Aktobe defender and goalkeeper combine efforts to make sure Hapoel Tel Aviv score against them.

Luck, some people have it, some people just don't

This goalkeeper for Brazilian team Palmeiras was glad the ref blew the full time whistle while the ball was in the air after Atletico Sorocaba B midfielder Leandro let fly.

On the other hand, the ball surely couldn't have bobbled at a worse time for Rodrigo Tiui of Athletico GO also in Brazil.

The team taking celebrations in football by storm

Last week we told of the Icelandic football team Stjarnan who celebrated a goal by the player reeling in a human fish which has become a internet hit worldwide. This week, they're at it again with Thorvaldur Arnason's goal being celebrated by a human bicycle.

Following this, the infiltration of football into America after their good performance at the World Cup continued with the signings of Thierry Henry and Rafael Marquez for the New York Red Bulls and with a real footballing celebration by a American footballer.

Further Genius

Even when something genius is peformed against United, we can still (sometimes) appreciate it as is the case with Ryan Guy of Ireland Aircity XI..

Football Quotes of the week

"He [Mark Hughes] is a nice guy. He is much better looking [than Hodgson] and I am sure that he will do a great job." Fulham chairman Mohamed Al Fayed is sure he's got the right guy for the job for the attractive club that is Fulham.

“Yossi is an intelligent player, very intelligent. Tactically he knows everything about the game very well. Joe Cole is quicker than Yossi, but tactically Yossi is better. He understands what I tell him.” - Carlo Ancelotti


Once again, if you've seen something that you think is worthy to be in this feature, let us know over on the forum.
