Soccer Humor: Funny Football Videos

Latching onto a through ball, he rounded the goalkeeper and simply had to tap home into the empty net. With actual striker Jon Macken sat on the bench, Manchester City manager Stuart Pearce turned to goalkeeper David James to change his side's fortunes in a final day European showdown against Middlesbrough. Like when the internet was more concerned with making minute long George Michael x Big Mick mashups than aggressive and largely pointless debates about football. Not very funny if you are an Arsenal fan, but very funny for everyone else. Apparently, the players could not see each other. The most iconic Premier League moment of all time and also one of the funniest if you don't like Manchester United.
We all know how retirements can go in the fight game, but this really felt like a farewell. St. Bonaventure got invited to the NIT, which didn’t seem particularly exciting for a group that had been to the NCAA tournament in the past. The Bonnies were matched up against Colorado, on the road, in the first round. Expectations were low and enthusiasm for the event was even lower. The moment was a rare glimpse into the psyche of a superstar athlete, as well as a liberating experience for born-and-raised ATLiens like me. Sure, the first baseman may be in L.A.

However, before all that came his unforgettable reaction to receiving a red card. If his radical response is not enough, factor in the referee's comic tumble and Nigel Winterburn's  infamous flinch. Sadly for Khalid Askri, his side eventually lost the shootout by a single goal.
The Vols lived every program’s dream. So what was left to prove in Beijing? Though it may have been unfair to ask for more from the best men’s skater in the world, legacies are made at the Olympics. And for as cruel as 2018 was for Chen, 2022 was glorious. He set a new world record in the short program, and then landed five quad jumps in the free skate (one coming at a particularly climactic moment of Elton John’s “Rocket Man”). His skating was as daring as it was emphatic.
Former 49ers head coach Jim Tomsula apparently had some weird jobs before his tenure in San Francisco. Hocker would miss the kick, so this moment should make it to the Beer Belly Hall of Fame. We're pretty sure you can make out the fan yourself. As great as the high-tech on-field microphones can be for broadcasts, they can sometimes catch unwanted sound that might  include some expletives. Arizona Cardinals backup quarterback Drew Stanton was so excited by an Andre Ellington touchdown during a Week 10 game against the Seahawks that he celebrated on the sidelines like a little kid. In a moment of madness, he unravels and dramatically breaks down, completely forgetting where an almost motionless football is.

For the rest of his career—and he’ll probably raise a banner or two at the expense of his former team—but there’s no doubt where his heart is. She kicked off the match with an epic entrance. I looked over at Naya, and she was smiling, yelling, and jumping up and down while high-fiving me, my dad, and any complete strangers within reach.
MJ calls Magic “old dog” and challenges him to a game of one-on-one, turning the Lakers legend into a squealing kid. I can hardly wrap my head around how improbable this season was. I was happy just to see Pujols don the birds on the bat again; I never imagined that he’d inspire the same fear in pitchers or the Funny Football Moments collective anticipation in fans that he did  more than a decade ago. In life and in sports, just because something makes for a great story doesn’t mean that it will happen. But in 2022, Albert Pujols reminded us that it can. The state of Hawaii has almost as much, if not more, love for Alo as Sooners fans do.

The funniest thing about this is the reason for Arsene Wenger's dismissal. All he did was kick a water bottle in the air. A theatrical display of Academy Award quality.
Never one to shirk a challenge, he was picked up by Harry Redknapp at West Ham, where he went on to gain cult status. All’s well that ends well I suppose. But then, the ball is pulled back to Redknapp 25 yards out. But Redknapp’s effort is mistimed, the ball loops harmlessly towards the flamboyant (a.k.a. mental) Colombian keeper Rene Higuita. Higuita produces the now infamous “Scorpion Kick”, jumping forwards, but kicking his legs behind him to fire the ball out of the danger area, to the delight and bemusement of all concerned.
But on 1 November 1975, in a game between Lee’s Derby County & Hunter’s Leeds United, the two stamped their names into the history books in indelible ink for all the wrong reasons. At this point, a fired up Di Canio pushed Alcock with both hands in the chest. Out of order of course, but the manner in which the referee stumbled theatrically to the ground following the push was not only bizarre, but utterly hilarious. There are few things more nerve wracking in football than the penalty shootout. Standing in the way of Jan Molby when the tannoy announces half price burgers perhaps? But for sheer edge of your seat tension, the old shootout has to be the king.
