The Very Best of Soccer Freestyle

juggling-2-ballsYou know, sometimes I like to watch people who are just incredibly talented because it motivates me to be less… well, ordinary. I don’t really care what you do, as long as you just do it better than anyone else!

Well, here are a batch of guys who have obviously spent enough time with a Soccer ball that it’s become like another appendage to them. Watch what they do, and just think… what if I was this good at my job?

Ronaldinho – This Guy Can Play Soccer

RonaldinhoRonaldo de Assís Moreira, commonly known as Ronaldinho (born March 21, 1980 in Porto Alegre), is a football (soccer for us Americans) player originally from Brazil who is now a naturalized Spanish citizen. He plays for FC Barcelona.

As far as I’m concerned Ronaldinho is probably the best footballer alive today, but even if he isn’t he is certainly the most entertaining to watch. He does things with a Soccer ball that seem literally impossible. The only other player that ever amazed me like that before was Pele.

Oh, and one other thing I really like about this guy… despite the fact that he’s the greatest player around he’s humble.

“God gives gifts to everyone, … Some can write, some can dance. He gave me the skill to play football and I am making the most of it.”

The Worst Haircuts of All Time

Bald Monk HairNothing draws attention to a receding hairline like a mohawk. But if that sounds bad, you ain’t seen nothing.

I was perusing the Internet tubes, as I often do, when I came across a photo of someone with what I imagined must be the worst haircut in history. It made me wonder why the hell anyone would wantonly sport such a hair style!

As I’m often prone to exploration on a particular topic I decided to spend the day seeking out the worst hair days I could find. And wow! I just want to know… where are these people’s friends?

Mad Soccer Skills and a Surprise ENDing

Mad Soccer Skillz in the OfficeThis video was forwarded on to me by someone who will probably wish to remain nameless. And it may not be appropriate for younger viewers, so preview it before you share it in case you disapprove.

Having dished out all the disclaimers, this is one freakin hilarious video! This guy was sitting around at work and I guess he was bored so he decided to crinkle up some paper and play hackey-sack with it. He’s got mad skillz too! And his ENDing is absolutely classic.

South Korean Sports Fans Rock!

South Korean Stadium FansAlthough I had previously posted about the Incredible Choreographed Samsung Stadium Performance, I’m still blown away by the amazing routines the South Korean fans put on when cheering for their favorite teams.

In this case, they aren’t doing a routine on the field like in that previous article, they are actually doing the routines in the stands! Plus, you’ve got groups from both teams “competing” for attention. I just can’t imagine how many hours of practice goes into this! Its got to require at least as much work as getting together a high school band if not more.
