Alex Morgan’s Knee Joins The Olympics

They say one must be bonkers to be a keeper. Jens Lehmann is indisputable proof that it at least helps. Aleex Morgan’s knee does nothing to dissuade this line of thinking.

New Zealand’s keeper is Jenny Bindon. You can send her flowers and aspirin. Heavy emphasis on the latter.

The visual data representation of the #euro2012 hashtag during…wait for it…Euro 2012. Sadly, not enough individual focus on Andres Iniesta.

Just stop it already.

All it took was one, that damn Fernando Torres goal way back in 2008, and now Spain can’t stop winning. Everything. After Iniesta & Co. took home their third senior trophy on the trot, the u19 squad casually won the European title with a 1-0 victory over the poor Greeks, who had to know the ending before the chapter had even begun. Because nobody but Spain is going to win anything again. Ever.

Because what is the internet without well-done mashes of major tournament highlights set to poppy sountracks with slo-mo focus and a light layer of editing?
