FIFA Goal of the Year 2008 Posted: 26 Jan 2009 04:00 AM PST No surprise, it’s a Portuguese attacker - but not that Portuguese attacker. And this guy, Belchior, doesn’t even play real football, he plays the beach version. FIFA.com still saw it fit to award him their Goal of the Year for 2008. A good goal, no doubt, but the best? Barefooted beach play is a bit tougher than grass and all (at least the movement part), but I’m not quite sure that’s on par with some of the elite goals across real grass pitches we saw throughtout the year. (Like one of these.) But did I mention this occured in a FIFA event? Uh huh.

Thailand v Lebanon: Brawls, Pouting, Pitch Walkoffs & Mistaken Identity. Posted: 22 Jan 2009 08:40 AM PST One probably wouldn’t expect much out of a Thailand v Lebanon international fixture. Judging by the “stadium” this game was played, everyone else is on the same wavelength. But when the game involves two brawls and not one, but two pitch walkoffs - well, gimme Thailand v Lebanon any day. There’s really little besides 3 seconds of pseudo-brawl in the video - we’re still holding out hope more than one tv channel across the globe decided to whip up some highlights, hope is not high - but the game recap reads like a South American domestic league game. It even has a case of “mistaken identity”. Fantastic. Team staff and stunned security guards twice had to enter the field to stop fights triggered by repeated scuffling between Lebanon’s Zakaria Charara and Thai defender Suree Sukha during the hosts’ 2-1 win in Phuket. With 14 minutes remaining, in an apparent case of mistaken identity, Charara struck Surat Sukha in the head in retaliation for his twin brother Suree’s earlier foul. After the ensuing brawl, Lebanon stormed off the field in protest and were told to remain on the sidelines by incensed coach Emile Rustom, who had to be talked into resuming the match by Thai soccer president Worawi Makudi. Five minutes later, Suree escaped a booking by the Thai referee after another vicious tackle on Charara, who started another melee by slapping Suree and captain Datsakorn Thonglao in the face. Walking off the pitch and then returning really isn’t all that convincing, but coming back with the double slap in the face leaves no room for interpretation: they ain’t messin’ around - though number 9 in the vid desperately needs to work on not slapping like a 6 year old girl. Clearly we need more Thai & Lebanese football in our lives.

The Infamous Ballet Referee Gets An Accessory Posted: 21 Jan 2009 05:00 PM PST Remember the infamous video of the referee who has a bit too much pizazz from a few years ago? This one? Well the video is still floating around - deservedly so - but now it’s somehow managed to get even better, because now we’ve found out the reasoning behind his excessively elaborate movements: he was supposed to be wielding a light saber. Brilliant.
