Mother Nature (og.)
This crazy goal from Germany is proof if proof were needed that lower league football is a completely different game to top-flight action. This wouldn’t happen to many Bundesliga teams.
The TSV Grunbach player thumps a goal-kick upfield only for the wind to thump it back into the net giving TSV Wimsheim a 1-0 [...]

Icelandic defender’s breakdown in communications
Plymouth defender Kari Arnasson learnt the hard way that a well-hit backpass placed on target and without checking on your keeper’s position is not a wise move. He cost his side two points against Leicester in the process.
