While most other European leagues are on break, competitive football is being played in Scandinavia. Like in Norway. There, Hunter Freeman, an American defender playing at Premier League club, I.K. Start, scored a freak goal from about the halfway line in a league game earlier this week.
Futsal player, Falcao, scores for Brazil in a match against Romania (which Brazil eventually won by 12-0) in Futsal Grand Prix International Tournament held in Brazil. The Spanish newspaper, MARCA, anointed it the greatest indoor football goal ever. Some bloggers, like The Spoiler (who we read religiously), got so carried away that they decided it must be Falcao, who starred for Brazil at the 1982 World Cup in Spain. That would make this guy in the video 55 years old.
English fans want to quickly forget the 4-0 loss to Germany in Monday’s UEFA European Under 21 Championship Final in Sweden. And Sandro Wagner, a 21-year old former Bayern Munich midfielder now at another German Bundesliga club, MSV Duisburg, played a big part in the unraveling of the England team. Wagner scored twice for Germany in that game. (It’s not clear whether the Bundestrainer, Joachim Löw, has plans to take him to South Africa next year). This was his second goal. The German commentator loses it.
