  1. Admiral Apparent says:

    With the length of that video, I was kinda hoping for a double-bill.

    • Mookie says:

      Yeah, I thought maybe he’d go postal on the guy that hit him. We’re getting jaded.

      • Sbell says:

        I almost bet $10 that he did it again. I’m kind of disappointed.

        Also, that guy (probably the coach) patted his ass extraordinarily awkwardly. Love tap?

        • Osse says:

          Agreed, I think it was a twofer since we got the flip/ball in the face and the ref being sexually suggestive towards the injured guy.

          • Petruza says:

            Do this guys even know the rules of the sport they are playing?
            You have to do the throw-in standing! you can’t jump nor flip or that kind of silly things.
            And you also can’t block a throw-in as if it was a free-kick. You just can’t.

            Don’t take this as an anti-american rant, but no wonder US soccer team sucks so much.

            • BuzzKill says:

              Actually the rules state that both feet must be on the ground when the ball is released. If a flip throw is properly executed, both feet are on the ground at the time of release. You are allowed to stand in front of the thrower, but as a defender, you are not allowed to jump or move to impede the thrower. There is nothing about this play that is against the rules of the game.

            • Aja says:

              Nowhere in the laws does it say that you can’t do a flip. This particular throw is illegal due to the ball having touched the ground before entering field of play.

              • a... says:

                This throw in is completely legal. There is no where that says the ball can’t touvh the ground before being thrown. People bounce it all the time, is that illegal, know what you are talking about before posting

              • Arkanian says:

                As a US licensed referee, you’re smoking something. Because it doesn’t matter if the ball hits the ground before it enters play.

            • PinkFreud says:

              I think YOU don’t know the rules.
              There are many players who does the throw-in that way, even in the top
              leagues. If you throw the ball in the precise moment you’re standing than
              that’s NOT foul.
              And YES, you CAN block a throw-in if you respected the distance from the other player.

              (sorry for my english i’m italian)

              • Joe says:

                This genius doesn’t realize that most pro fields don’t have the room on the sidelines for a throw like that. Know-it-all fail.

              • Shredzah says:

                Actually, I think all of you are wrong. Soccer is a fun sport to play as a child, but..thats all it really is a childish sport. Sure you run and get lots of exercise, but..mainly im saying i have balls and penis, and play football

                • thepowerofblue says:

                  Funny how you never hear talk about how manly basketball or hockey is. Only American Football. Insecure much?

                • Loz says:

                  I’d like to see you play rugby or Aussie Rules then.
                  And yes, that does involve removing all that padding and protection and head gear.
                  Nice knowin’ ya…

                • yourmum says:

                  Do you mean American football? A woman’s version of rugby where you wear 1000 tons of armour plating and padding?
                  You must mean football, in which case I have to agree with you, football is the worlds most popular sport, mainly because it is one of the most fun – just google ‘football’ and you’ll notice all the hits are for football. Type in ’soccer’, that silly American word and you get hits for football. Shame American’s are still obsessed with a lame wussy version of rugby. Give it a few years, it’ll change…

              • sdrawkcab gniklat says:

                1. I love your name.
                2. Your English was/is better than many native speakers.

            • Ack! says:

              Actually, according to FIFA rules , the following is true.

              At the moment of delivering the ball, the thrower:
              1: faces the field of play
              2: has part of each foot either on the touch line or on the ground outside the touch line
              3: uses both hands
              4: delivers the ball from behind and over his head

              So the throw is legal so long as he doesn’t release the ball until after the flip is complete.

              Of course you can double check the official rules here at http://www.fifa.com/mm/document/affederation/federation/laws_of_the_game_0708_10565.pdf

              • tommo says:

                @PinkFreud – I can’t think of ANY players who take a throw-in that way.

                Steve Watson did it once for Newcastle but only because it was a friendly.

                This guy just seemed to do it as a matter of course. Weird.

                Still, it did go some distance. Strange way of playing the game – no attacking or defending players anywhere near the throw-in, apart from our hero, the victim.

              • Luke Hart says:

                doesn’t matter, he should have been sent off. And leave it too an Italian to
                think its ok. It was malicious, stupid and showboatish. Never happen in
                England

              • Disturbed says:

                ….didn’t know fifa also involved high-school kids….

              • julie says:

                the point is….he got hit in the face…. so give it a rest and enjoy the soccer fail

              • b.o. says:

                The throw was legal, but I wouldn’t have let play to continue
                until the player in the blue jersey moved away from the touch
                line. If he refused and/or continued to impede the throw-ins
                he should be booked a yellow card for failing to respect
                required distance or unsporting behavior. Here is the United
                States Soccer Federation (USSF) law on the throw-in which is
                most likely with who this ref is certified through:
                At the moment of delivering the ball, the thrower:
                - faces the field of play
                - has part of each foot either on the touch line
                or on the ground outside the touch line
                - uses both hands
                - delivers the ball from behind and over his
                head
                - The thrower may not touch the ball again until it has touched
                another player.
                - All opponents must stand no less than 2 metres from the
                point at which the throw-in is taken.
                - The ball is in play immediately it enters the field of play.
                http://ussoccer.com/laws/index.jsp.html
                This should have been an epic fail! The kid should have
                been booked with a yellow card for being in the way.

            • Petruza says:

              Ok I was totally pwned!

            • yoyoma says:

              1. Do you know the rules of the English language?
              2. Football rules state both feet have to be on the ground when you let go of the ball, in this case, they were.

            • Jesse says:

              Comment fail.

            • dnm says:

              Really? I just thought it was soccer that sucked.

              • thepowerofblue says:

                See, that’s where you went wrong. Next time, leave the thinking to those of us whose IQ is greater than their shoe size.

            • Max says:

              as an american who happens to know the rules of football (soccer..whatever), I’m gonna provide you with some enlightenment:

              front handspring throw ins, known as mexican throw ins, are completely legal, the only requirement for a throw in is that both feet remain planted after the ball leaves the players hands — look closely; they do.
              the torque gained while flipping allows skilled players to throw the ball much further than he/she otherwise could have.

              also, you CAN block a throw in, as long as you are at least 2 meters from the thrower. this is usually not very practical, as it is fairly easy to throw the ball over a wall.

              finally, while the player was obviously closer than 2 meters from the ball, i believe that, just as with a free kick, he is not required to move unless the ref tells him to.

            • Max says:

              oh, damn. it appears you have already been thoroughly corrected. my bad.

            • ... says:

              No one would have thought of it as an anti-American rant had you not said anything.

            • bob says:

              Funny, as I am an American and I also know that doing a throw-in like that is completely legal, as long as both feet are thouching the ground when the ball is released.

            • thepowerofblue says:

              While the US mens national team had a poor showing at the 2006 World Cup, they were quarterfinalists at the 2002 World Cup. They are the current champions of CONCACAF, and are ranked 24th in the world.

            • D says:

              What are you on about?? You can stand at the touch line for a throw but have to stand 10 feet away for a free kick?? And as the only rules on throw ins is that that
              both feet have to be on the grounf and your have to throw it forward.

              and i’m not american either…

            • Phelps says:

              It’s been a while since I reffed a game, but the throw itself is legal, as long as he keeps his feet on the ground and brings the ball straight forward over his head from behind. You can also stand where you like (there’s no 10 yard restriction) on a throw in.

              On the other hand, I would have booked the flip throwing goon for striking another player. Maybe a few red cards will convince him to either get better at it or go with a more conventional throw.

            • Toby says:

              I agree totally, but these are americans…they do things differently, but i thought it was a bit stupid….and off that he did a forward roll first…i mean wtf who does that?

            • im_cold says:

              I hate to break it to you, but this was not a professional soccer team.

            • Toky says:

              Soccer is not a real sport anyway

            • romenov says:

              Yeah that throw is legit.. but in my country you can’t stand that close to the line when someone is throwing in .. you have to saty a few meters off..

              I guess this movie shows why

              rofl

            • Tom says:

              yeah, maybe you should learn the rules for the sport you so proudly invented. You have to give the thrower one yard, unless fifa changed again and you cannot jump to block the throw. When throwing, as long as 2 feet are on the ground and the ball is throwwn from behind the head, it does not matter how it is thrown. He could do a cartwheel if he wanted.

            • meghannicole says:

              you can do a flip throw. as long as when the ball is thrown your feet are on the ground and the ball comes all the way behind your head, and on a throw you can stand where ever the hell you want. idiot

            • Matt says:

              As a referee for the past 12 years, I do, in fact, know the rules to the game. The throw in you claim must be done “standing” is not true. I cannot be done from a kneeling position as it is a demeaning act in many countries. However, the flip throw is completely legal as long as both feet are firmly planted at the time of the throw and as long as the ball comes straight over the head. You are correct in the fact that the kid cannot block a throw in as there is a mandatory 3 yards of space that must be given. The kid that was beamed in the face should have received a yellow card (as I suspect that this was not a one time occurrence in the game and the game should resume with a direct free kick rather than a throw in.

            • PhishPhan says:

              you can block a throw in dumbcrap

        • Joe says:

          Referee win!!!!!

          • thepowerofblue says:

            Referees never win. All refs are fail.

            Who’s your father?
            Who’s your father?
            Who’s your father, referee?
            Haven’t got one,
            Never had one,
            You’re a bastard, referee!

        • Evan says:

          Because of the picture you see before it starts, i thought it would be fail for a different reason…

        • That’s the referee dumb-ass!

        • Tina Fey says:

          omg u idiot (Sbell) that was a ref… stupid didn’t u see the stripes? gawd yellow with stripes is a ref… i don’t think u guys kno what ur talking about cuz that was like an extremely illegal throw-in you can’t do that flip thing

      • someonerandm says:

        Just replay the video. Then he gets hit twice!

      • Ryannon says:

        Was the showboating necessary? Not once but twice?

      • Diamond USPS says:

        Yeah I guess it’s funny to make fun of postal. HA HA…. I can assure you we are not violent. Please take time to think of the feelings you may hurt with your words…

    • Joe says:

      Same here. I was thinking “please god not again” when he went to throw it a second time.

    • Humpty Dumbass says:

      Naw i thought the shot to the face and the black guy to the ass was funny enough for me

    • Ivan says:

      Yeah was hoping for a double take but what really won me over was the delightful sound the ball made when hitting him in the face hahaha splot.

    • Ivan says:

      Yeah was hoping for a double take but what really won me over was the delightful sound the ball made when hitting him in the face hahaha splot.

    • ajknfgjizg says:

    • Chukie says:

      Really? The guy needed a red card…

    • ben says:

      OMG soccer players are such pussys so you got hit in the head no need to lay there for 10 minutes

  2. wimple says:

    I’m surprised they allowed that guy to play on with the bleeding nose. Around here, any sign of blood and you’re hauled off the field.

  3. Xaltos says:

    Soooooo what was more fail? Getting hit in the face? or that guy “helping” the kid?

  4. ghostworld says:

    steady defense, no way to pass by

  5. Asinus says:

    On the bright side it didn’t go up his rear. A potato is one thing but imagine the discomfort of a football!

  6. MNM says:

    Football FFS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  8. bmerri says:

    Soccer sux anyway.

  9. buba says:

    buba is not amused >:<

  10. Cloral says:

    *Cue complaints about this being called Soccer Fail*

  11. Blue2thFairy says:

    I guess the impact of the ball confused him for a moment and he thought he was in gym class.

    *does push-ups*

  12. Blue2thFairy says:

    So much for lucky number 7 uh?

  13. relikpL says:

    push-ups in between the coaches crotch is pretty fail as well, followed by an ass tap

  14. Mookie says:

    I’m shocked by the number of people who sexualized the coach’s behavior. The people who post here are just so perverted.

  15. C says:

    Lol… Poor guy…

    But then I’m with other ppl here as well. I also though there’s gonna be double due to the length of video.

  16. 4ofSpades says:

    pwndizzled!

  17. Fireaxe says:

    Name fail,should be called football (your american stuff is American football)

  18. Adidas22205 says:

  20. mejrm says:

  23. Dakota says:

  24. Mike says:

    A double fail. Guy gets whacked in the noggin AND soccer.

  25. Yang says:

    The Yin still seem to be hurting for attention.

    Guess it’s time for me to go beat my wife of 25 + years.

    While I’m at it I’ll line the kids up to beat them also… take a number…

  26. Bob says:

    Nobody seen the referee touch the ass of the guy? Or is this normal these days? :O
    Anyway, that’s a nice flip, would like to see that in real life.

  27. Nathan says:

    The thumbnail made me laugh!
    And that kid does an epic throw!

  28. Bri says:

    ok. First off, the length of that video so threw me off. I was expecting that kid to get hit twice *disappointment*.

    Secondly, I think there were two fails in there, even though he didn’t get hit twice.

    [1] The kid got hit in the face
    [2] The Ref totally sexually harrassed him. Love tap, anyone? <3

    Lol

  29. Failcat says:

    needz moar buttsecks

  30. Yang says:

    Too bad – the site YIN blocked all of my last replies….

    YIN – WIN? Dang…

  31. ebay says:

      *slaps self in the face* No, I must not feed the trolls, especially the “FAKE!” trolls…

  32. chaminga says:

    What is this game ? It looks like they are playing hockey with a ball. Strange. Are points awarded for hitting the other player with the ball ?

  33. Yang says:

    Where’s Mookie? I figured her fat butt would want to be on top.

    Sorry Mookie lost out – Yin # 4

    Buttttt you could work your way to the top…

  34. Yang says:

    Don’t stir the pot….burn the bottom…Call the Fire Department…

    Night all…. Time Of Yang…. TOY

    Take a pill… I’ll call you in the morning ( after )…

  35. Allison says:

    2 fails in one video.
    A sexual fail and a classic ball fail.

  36. Malrunus says:

    When I was in high school I did a corner kick. This kid jumped up to head the ball, and got knocked out for about 10 seconds. After I did that, every time I took a step back to kick the ball, it was like being moses. The crowd would part and clear the way.

  37. LOL says:

    Video won’t load for me :( Epic fail computer

  38. deaddrift says:

    PEOPLE!

    PLEASE stop posting America’s-Funniest-Home-Videos-quality dreck on this site!

    That fail was LAME. Ball to the head? What’s next, a dad getting hit in the nuts with a whiffle ball?

    Attempt at posting humorous/worthwhile fail: FAIL.

  39. Prytaeni says:

    This makes me giggle inside. Outside, I pretend to be a worried and concerned person, in attempt to fit in. Yes… :)

    FAIL BUT GOOD SKILL..MAYBE WE CAN SEE AT WORLD CUP IN AFRICA.

  45. Matt Dunn Sledjeski says:

    what up failblog community, I am just an outsider putting my 2 cents in. Call me a hater, but I see some intelligent people with well developed senses of humor and a lot of keyboard warriors/followers. Granted, many posters are just killing time, but I have a suspicion that most are living vicariously through pseudonyms, their frail sense of self composed from misperceived notions of other peoples lives. It reminds me of those so socially inept that they follow soap operas as a realistic measure of actual life experience, pretty gay, no offense. I don’t want to sound hypocritical or bitter, I over indulge often as an escape. I presume that sadly, for many this indulgence is their entree, not just the seasoning. Like the power hungry DM or the smug computer guy at work, they compensate for their cowardly soulless existences through self assumed status;; within a gossip laden tower of babble. Oops did I say that out loud, I know that is a cardinal sin within the unspoken code of the in-group. Whatever. If anyone wants to reply, please enlighten me. Or better yet, lets discuss it in person, unless of course your bravado is deflated when forced to look someone in the eye and mouth off. Reminds me of those who lay on their car horns all day, yet when walking down the street (unprotected by two tons of metal and anononimity) get out of the way with their heads down. I do not consider myself a tough guy or seek self worth in comparing myself to or demeaning others. In fact, I’ll be the first to admit that I will cry over a disneyland commercial if it catches me at the right moment. Oh and I also write over worded and improperly punctuated sentences. Please proceed to have a field day analyzing my rambling and in the process prove me right. Or better yet delete my comment altogether. Thanks, bye.

    • And says:

      Like, whatever!

    • Avis says:

      Dear Matt, we here at failblog come here to commune with those who are willing to do so. We appreciate a sense of humor, and a willingness to laugh at ones self. If someone comes in guns blazing, so to speak, we tend to respond in kind. If you REALLY want in on the action here, don’t post a over-long comment, and try not to insult the regulars. Other than that, you should do fine.

Reminds me of those who lay on their car horns all day, yet when walking down the street (unprotected by two tons of metal and anononimity) get out of the way with their heads down. I do not consider myself a tough guy or seek self worth in comparing myself to or demeaning others. In fact, I’ll be the first to admit that I will cry over a disneyland commercial if it catches me at the right moment. Oh and I also write over worded and improperly punctuated sentences. Please proceed to have a field day analyzing my rambling and in the process prove me right. Or better yet delete my comment altogether. Thanks.

      Fail. Your pathetic attempt at semi-intellectual humor disappoints me… then again, I think I just failed by expecting anything from someone on the internet.

  49. Mathy says:

    He hit the other guy on purpose.

  50. Jared Montz says:

    Thats funny!! I thought for sure he was going to get hit a second time too!! Thanks for the laugh

  51. failblog.orgISTEHGREATEST says:

  52. narod says:

  56. Callamaris says:

  57. Ether3al says:

    Face-seeking technology claims another victim…

  58. jimbo says:

    I don’t see why this is FAIL. We used to do this all the time in soccer to make the other team afraid of us. The nice thing about it is that it’s perfectly legal.

    I say PWNED! That asshole got what he deserved for standing so close to the sideline.

  59. Starlogic says:

    Buttpat Fail.
    Gay Coach Win.

  60. Claire says:

    I love the way he puts his hands over his bollocks but doesn’t think to protect his face … men!

    • Patrick Beverley says:

      Probably because it’ll hurt more, and the groin is less maneouvrable to dodge. Much good the maneouvrability of his head does this guy, though!

  61. yroc1234 says:

    Epic pwn.

  62. Ian says:

    The guy was too close to the line, completely his fault. Good work on the thrower for beaning him

  63. Jackarunda says:

    Allrighty then. Whosoever saith that soccer is not for gays must himself be gay.
    Oh, and by the way, Coach Queer, FAIL

  64. Patrick Beverley says:

    I love the guy shouting “That’s deliberate! That’s deliberate!” over and over.

  65. Anon says:

    Hard to believe that none of the crowd saw that coming.

  66. Mithu says:

    Where is this game? MOT?

  67. fake says:

    its fake!!!!!!!!!!!!

  68. Chris says:

    Holy shit, I just found out that kid goes to my school

  69. evan says:

    SOCCER IS FOR PUSSIES!!!!!!!

  70. danyhael says:

    @ a second there, i thought someone gonna get f*ck…

  71. UK Ftw says:

    This is football. The kid in the blue is breaking the rules by standing that close. The kid that taks the throw-in is also breaking the rules because your arms have to stay above your head.

  72. Ali says:

    Why do they have chimpanzees to throw the ball?!!

  73. sal says:

    lol 00:37 to 00:40

  74. Alex says:

    The guy who got hit is sexy! nice legs.

  75. Failbetch says:

    Score:
    Fail: 1.
    Win: 1.

  76. fadvebu says:

    the idea of the lenght is to show how hard the guy can throw and how much the hit hurted…..

  77. dwalk says:

    oooo my that video makes me question Mr. Yellowshirts heterosexuality

  78. Brian says:

    Notice the ass-tap from the reff

  79. JonnoJ says:

    Punishment for rule breaking win.

  80. Boyah says:

    He had it coming…really. There’s one huge skillsgap in that game ^^ The guy tossing can do a 40-yard toss, but the other guy doesn’t even know that he has to stand 3 yards (that’s what I was told) from the tosser. I really expected them to do the same shit again at the end. *False expectations* cut the length!

  81. Zenos says:

    does anybody notice the ref molesting that kid? first he straddles him then smacks him in the ass, i think he said “see you in the the locker room, bitch”

  82. iKinkajou says:

    he was just there just waiting for the ball, and then this guy flips and beans the guy in the face. total downer to your day.

  83. yuin says:

    keep clicking at 18sec. LOLZ

  84. FATALITY + HEADSHOT :D DDDDDDDDD

  85. crasu says:

    wats with the majorly piedo coach

  86. FootBall says:

  87. Dragonwriter says:

  88. Avis says:

    *goes for a ride*
    *wonders where this ride is going*

  89. Avis says:

    *wonders where this belongs*
