Some World Football's Top Bloopers from 2013
[/video]
Juventus' Chilean midfielder Arturo Vidal caught himself an epic case of Platoon in a Champions League game recently, as he lost his footing/balance/perspective of gravity and went crashing to ground inside the box. Somehow, he seemed to want a penalty for it!
[/video]
Stefan Kiessling scored a "ghost goal" earlier in the year. Sending an effort into the side netting and through a tear in the net, the referee then awarded Kiessling the goal in a 2-2 draw between Bayer Leverkusen and Hoffenheim.
[/video]
Here's a horror show of a free kick from Sam Corcoran, playing for Chelmsford, as he inadvertently sets up the opposition for a goal of their own.
[/video]
Blooper from Bosnia. Here we go. Horrible pitch, dreadful goalkeeping decision to race out, open goal with loads of time to spare.
[/video]
Gillingham Captain Leading by Example. Just to prove that anything amateurs can do, professionals can do equally laughably, here's Gillingham's captain Adam Barrett thundering in to finish off a fine knock-down from a yard out.
[/video]
World Cup Qualifier Own Goal. Everyone loves a thumping strike into the top corner, but how do you go about doing it into your own net?
Vasilis Torosidis was credited with the o.g. in the end but after a dozen views, it's still hard to tell if this goes in off the defender who kicks it initially, off both of them or some entirely different form of physics.
This came in the World Cup playoff between Romania and Greece—but Greece triumphed in the end anyway.
[/video]
Launching a Quick Attack Not Always the Way to Go. Here's a game from an unknown location in Africa from early November, where the goalkeeper decides that he'll launch a quick counter attack for his team.
Unfortunately all he does is launch it hilariously into the backside of one of his defenders, with the usual obvious outcome. You have to love the way they all just collapse to the ground as one.
[/video]
Wenger vs. Zip
Remember Balotelli vs. Bib? Well, here's the managerial equivalent of man's continual struggle against his sporting apparel.

Lose Teeth, Get Booked. You may remember this crazy challenge from earlier in the year.
Gaspar Iniguez opted to go head first into this challenge and ended up losing three teeth in the brave, but probably foolish tackle.
He was also booked for it being late!
[/video]
Panenka penalties look great, cool and collected when pulled off correctly. When they go wrong, however, the player in question merely looks like a half-assed showboating berk. Jackson Martinez found that out the hard way.
[/video]
Alexandre Pato Gets It Even More Wrong. Players probably shouldn't do Panenkas unless they can actually do them.
Pato gets his horribly wrong here in the Copa do Brasil...and sends his team out in the process, having missed the decisive spot kick in the penalty shoot-out.
Oops.
