Wow, it took me a moment to realize what I was looking at, but this guy made an amazing catch, so incredible that it took the referees a moment to realize what's going on.

Best Football Catch Ever

  • Take

    Some of the best athletes for all sports and have them all compete. But the competition cant have SOCCER, American Football, Rugby, Basketball or any sports involved, just acts of althletic prowess. MY point being, AN American football player couldnt compete with a soccer player playing soccer, A rugby player couldnt compete with an american football player playing american football.

    My point is, if you dont like the sport, dont watch it, dont tell me i am stupid for watching it, because that would make you stupid for watching whatever sport it is you like to watch or play, enjoy the entertainment, thats what sports are there for --- entertainment ----if you dont like it, dont watch it.

    • Then come to the states

      Then come to the States and make Millions Of Dollars. Rugby and American Football kick ass. Ive been watching World Cup Soccer and have never seen so many girly wussy men rolling around like their hurt. A stiff breeze will knock a soccer player out the game.

      even though i DO like soccer, they make it look like a wussy sport by falling and crying there for a while when they are clearly not hurt.

      its called DIVING, football is the best sport ever made.

    • Yeah, but

      I heard FIFA are considering a review system to check replays after games have ended in order to determine when a player has made a dive then issue penalties and fines. If it makes the refs job easier and thus the game smoother I'm all for it. The World Cup this year was ridiculous at times.

      By blankface 1154929593 Reply Spam Moderate Up Moderate Down
    • yeah but...

      That sounds like FIFA are trying to move the game forward, but a fine for diving means nothing to these people when say for example it gets them a penalty to win the world cup.

      I love football to death but the foreigners are ruining our game. Yes they bring a lot of positives but diving is such a problem it will be very hard to stamp out. But at least FIFA are moving in the right direction I suppose.

  • It IS Football

    For all of you whining about what is football and what is not .. get a life. Better yet, go outside and play a game of football, futbol, or whatever sport you have in whatever country yuo're in instead of arguing about it from behind a screen. Those pros who play football, soccer, baseball, rugby, or whatever make millions of dollars no matter what you say. So really, your opinion doesn't amount to much.

    I was referring to the Womens FIFA world cup in '91 and '99 that the U.S. won(look it up), but I can understand how you could confuse the 2. So before YOU comment, come up with something valid and intelligent. Most English language speaking call soccer soccer and football football.
    Here's a list of English speakers.
    Note that Americans, Canadians, Australians and Bermudians call soccer soccer and football football. That's 242,840,000 English speakers who use the term soccer and 65,530,000 who don't.

    Note that having the French calling soccer "le football" doesn't help your case. Pied is French for foot and "boule" is French for ball.


    Furthermore:
    Since soccer doesn't require athletic talent or advanced motor skills. Soccer appeals to the average and to the below average. Thus, it has an instant constituency for its popularity. Too weak or slow to play football? Participate in soccer. Too short or slow to play basketball? Participate in soccer. Lack the hand-eye coordination necessary to hit a baseball or the agility to stickhandle thru traffic? Participate in soccer. Lack basic motor skills? Participate in soccer.

  • Soccer: What a joke!

    France is successful at participating at soccer. That should say something, especially to the British.
    Soccer is boring. Soccer is absurdly slow. I've had soccer apologists say with false pride how the average soccer participant "runs" 4 miles in a game. Newsflash: that means they are jogging less than 3 miles per hour. Translation: they are mostly standing around. BORING
    Penalty kicks. You are determining a winner by a random event that has no relevance to the rest of the game. It would be as stupid as replacing extra innings with batting practice.
    Fruity penalty cards. How stupid is it to flash up some card to indicate the severity of a penalty? Richard Simmons was inspired to use them in his diet system. Are all penalties the same?
    Psychotic fans. The South Korean loser who set himself on fire is one example. The mental stability of the murderer who killed that one player because he sucked (free clue: all soccer participants S**k ) is another
    Ties: 55% of games are ties. Ties S**k
    Pompous pseudo intellectual Europeans who become soccer fans in order to convince the populace of their link to the common man.
    Soccer fans justify the activity based entirely on its popularity. Not only are the reasons why soccer is popular an argument against soccer, but it really shows how pathetic said activity is when that is the only argument soccer fans come up with.
    The correct term for 0 is zero, not nil. Take a math class.
    Soccer is not objective. There is no play clock. The game doesn't end after the clock has run down. This adds bias, subjectivism and appeals to lower intellects, and it destroys the drama from last second victories. Contrast such clumsy timekeeping (shame on the Swiss, who should know better) and the lack of any discernable strategy with the strategic precision of the two-minute drill in football.
    Soccer is not objective, part two. The lack of offensive chances leads to ties, which, as we know, S**k Soccer's "solution?" Let's randomize the result (in those cases where a tie suddenly becomes an affront, the "World" Cup) by having penalty kicks.
    Soccer apologists say the reason it is not popular in the US is because it wasn't invented in the US. First, soccer originated from the North American game called pasuckuakohowog several hundred years before the British played something resembling it. Second, basketball was the creation of a Canadian, yet is very popular in the US. Third, football was the creation of a Canadian, yet is very popular in the US.
    Soccer apologists say the reason it is not popular in the US is because the US is not any good at that activity. The US soccer team won the World Cup in 1991 and 1999. Better find another reason.
    Soccer apologists say soccer is an athletic activity. Using the Olympics as a barometer, it is pretty obvious that those countries that lack athletic prowess (Britain, France) are successful at soccer. Interesting to note, despite the inclusion of activities like soccer and walking in the

    • pasuckuakohowog

      as people should know... the first game with the basics of football were found in china over a millenium ago... an certainly not from the american continent. Far from 55% of the games ends with a tie, there is a clock, and a second one to make sure the 90 minutes are really played (times where the game is stopped do not count as play time) therefore there is a second clock penalty's are only the last resord of theres a tie, first there will be a 3rd and a 4th half (bouth lasting 15 minutes), if there is still no winner only then there will be penalty's... a tie does not mean no goals, or a boring game.

  • I believe that

    that is the definition of offensive pass interference

    By acez 1149231626 Reply Spam Moderate Up Moderate Down
    • Pass Interference

      is when the defensive player INTERFERES with the offensive player's ability to make an attempt to catch the ball. Interference can occur even if the defensive player has no idea where the ball is. PI can be called when the defensive player pushes or comes into intentenial contact with the offensive player no matter where the defensive player is looking. The only way an offensive pass intereference can be called is if the offensive player physically forces the defensive player out of the play, such as a "push off."

      Also, have any of you Euro's ever tried to play American Football? Seriously... rugby does not contain near the amount of physical contact that American Football does. I've watched both. Also, if you think the soccer takes more skill than football... you're an idiot. Both sports have completely different skills that are required to play the game well, so comparing the two is F**king stupid. Secondly, soccer players are F**king puss nuggets. Ever watch a fight? One swing and they run... seriously, grow some balls you C**t rags and fight. And stop falling down every time someone breaths on you... it's retarted.

      Iwatched it again and i was a dumb ass on that one, but have you seena F**king rugby match. Rugby is the sport with the most contact of any in the world. I played rugby in my school and in 5 minutes i broke my collarbone.

      By acez 1150930777 Reply Spam Moderate Up Moderate Down
    • True

      Ye, rugby is a very contact oriented sport, I was a dumb ass on that one, I apologize. But the contact in football would be much more devastating than rugby if pads were not involved. Just watch some of the hits that occur. Vertebrae would be broken every game, arms, legs, collar bones, skulls... It'd be a much more violent game than rugby is if the pads were removed. But, both sports are violent in their own right.

      By indecloudzua 1150835846 Reply Spam Moderate Up Moderate Down
    • No

      The defender would have to be making a play on the ball. He didn't even know where the ball was so how could the receiver interfere with his ability to make the catch?
