So inspirational, in fact, that the US went out and lost to Jamaica in World Cup qualifying.ĥ) A rabona American football kick-off you say? And also in gridiron: the inspirational Steve Gleason story, behind-the-back-pass fail, college one-handed catch of the week and high-school one-handed catch of the week.Ħ) Own goal of the week. All the build-up and the barnstorming fight itself – Larry Holmes v Michael Spinksģ) The best goal by a Salisbury City player for a long, long time, Papiss Cissé scores the headed goal of the week and the Republic of Ireland's Conor Henderson weighs in with the Under-21 goal of the week.Ĥ) The US football team get a motivational speech from shouty man Donnie Moore – he tears up a phonebook, he rolls up – rolls up – a frying pan and he snaps a baseball bat. Watch the whole thing here.Ģ) Another brilliant long player. And you know that feeling when you've just won a US Open semi-final and your mum wanders in with a former James Bond and the Manchester United manager? The best from last week's blogġ) Remember when blooper compilations weren't unbearable rolls of dung-coated misery presented by Danny Dyer or Olly Murs that should in no circumstances be brought into the same post code as a DVD player never mind inserted into one (unless said DVD player was either a) on fire or b) about to be set on fire)? Danny Baker's Own Goals and Gaffes was the seminal work and it's 20 years old this year. What happens next is arguably the greatest basketball miracle of all time.Ħ) Sublime and ridiculous dept: This is a half-decent catch, more so when you consider that Australia's Daniel Christian is playing for one of the world's worst T20 international sides. But it's been a mixed week for goalkeepers – here's Jakob Kohler of Denmark second division east side Frem scoring an injury-time equaliser with an overhead kick.ĥ) One from the archives – USC are trailing Oregon by five points with 2.8 seconds remaining.

Also in football this week: Eidur Gudjohnsen – still got it.Ĥ) Strop of the week, courtesy of the Norway goalkeeper Rune Almenning Jarstein. 2) The great Danny MacAskill's latest offering, starring San Francisco.ģ) The second leg of the Algeria v Libya Africa Cup of Nations qualifier should be rather tasty if the end of the first leg is anything to go by.
