Who’s smarter? Stephen Hawking or an octopus?
Soccer players killing each other on the pitch. Crikey.
This is what happened at an Indonesian Premier League Match
Here’s how you get to win a pair of the most valuable boots ever made…
Thank goodness. Something new to replace the maddening cacophony of our beloved ‘Vuvuzelas’. The new instrument is called a Caxirola. You will be hearing a lot of these at the 2014 World Cup this year – you decide if you think it’s any better…. [SOURCE] SMH
Cameras caught a shadowy figure running across the screen during Thursday’s soccer match at Hernando Siles Stadium in La Paz, Bolivia, on Thursday April 17. Despite the figure cruising through, or passed packed rows, people in the crowd don’t seem to notice it.
Heyo! It’s another long weekend crammed full of breathtaking sporting action. But something’s changed. Something’s different. Someone’s offering sports betting odds of 750 to 1. R100 is all you need to claim R75,000. Seriously. PSA #1: 750 to 1 Odds: It’s Powerball time! The Trebble Ball will give you odds of 750 to 1. R100 can […]
It took some magic from the Welsh Real Madrid player to clinch the Copa Del Rey Final from arch rivals Barcelona. Please enjoy Gareth Bale’s mind blowing goal on Wednesday night.
The image of a low flying aircraft over a stadium is ingrained in the memories of all South Africans thanks to the 1995 Rugby World Cup final. If this would happen during the Brazil Soccer World Cup, the audience would have the privilege of witnessing a spectacular explosion.
David Beckham is set on not only building a 25,000 seat stadium but developing it into a complete year-round entertainment facility, with a view of Miami only seen by people on private yachts.
Even if you don’t know a stitch about football – Messi should ring a bell. During Barcelona’s 7-0 thrashing of Osasuna, Lionel Messi broke an 87-year-old Barcelona record. Messi being Messi, did it in style with a hat trick.
When it comes to football there’s a saying that goes, “a good defence is the best offence.” Wait, no. It’s the other way around. This tackler clearly didn’t get the memo.
January is almost over, and so is the week. In the multiple this weekend, we have five spicy football games from the FA Cup, the Serie A, and a high-scoring affair from the Bundesliga. FA Cup, Bundesliga, and Serie A: Birmingham vs Swansea Chelsea vs Stoke Wigan vs Crystal Palace Monchengladbach vs Bayern Munich Lazio Roma […]
Despite a frenzied crowd at the Green Point Stadium on Sunday, Bafana could only muster a single goal in reply to the attacking onslaught that saw Nigeria thump three goals past a lacklustre South African defence. While dejected fans filed out of the stadium, some were vocal about their disappointment – but none were quite as loud as sports minister Fikile Mbalula, who called Bafana’s performance “a disgrace.”
Trust a Japanese game show to turn the beautiful game into some sort of arcade-ninja-ball-blaster-nightmare. Shinji Kagawa (we all know him, right?) and Hiroshi Kiyotake (not so much) were asked to score a goal on a full-field football pitch against a team of 29 in-field children, and three goalkeeper children. Easy. 55 kids? That’s harder.
Luis Suarez, hated universally for his unsportsmanlike conduct, was in the headlines again this week after a Tottenham Hostpurs mascot snubbed his handshake on live TV.
Goalkeepers have it hard, harder than most sub-groups of athletes. Regardless of the context, if you let that ball slip in, you WILL get a bollocking from your whole team. Which is presumably why these Slovenian footballers in the fourth division team SD Gorisnica decided to use actual cannons to launch soccer balls at their keeper.
It’s all about the football this weekend with the 2ov and Bet Flash Sports Multiple. There is however a separate pot focusing on the PE Sevens taking place this weekend. Check that out here.

Last weekend’s matches served some awesome results with the highlight being […]
So, Bafana Bafana lost a major sponsor in Puma, when they pulled out a while ago. Now, companies are scrambling to fill the place once occupied by the big cat brand.
This kid has clearly not seen a day without playing football. How else could he be this good at such a young age? We’ve seen all the pros do some fancy flicks on the sidelines, like Mesut Ozil’s chewing gum trick, but we’ve never been given a performance quite like this one.
Rather than tell you which sides we think are going to win or lose, we thought we would take a slightly different approach this week. A preview, of sorts. A discussion. Maybe a debate?
What do Ryan Giggs, Gareth Bale, and Harry Wilson have in common? They’re all football genuises, they’re all from Wales, and none of them have ever played for England. Although, that might change very shortly.
Statue of Liberty closed. Arsenal restaurant attack. Microsoft investors want Bill Gates gone. CCTV shows White Widow spying on Pretoria embassies. 91 elephants poisoned by poachers. Berlusconi woes..
Last weekend the 5 – 1 multiple came good and as a result there were a few happy people here at The Compound. This weekend is probably one of the best spreads to date, offering some very interesting options and involves the following matches:
Angry mobs of teenage girls everywhere are most likely plotting revenge, because Louis Tomlinson, of One Direction has been injured. Click for more on these dramatic scenes 😉
