Vuk Bakic scored what could be the fastest goal ever in a Serbian youth match between his GSP Polet side and Dorcol. When the referee blew his whistle to start the match, Bakic took a shot on goal from the center mark that caught Dorcol's goalkeeper off guard, flew over his head and bounced into the net.

FIFA's laws of the game specifically state that "a goal may be scored directly from kick-off" (law 8), but Dorcol protested the fact that Bakic's teammate was standing in their half of the pitch when the shot was taken, which is a violation. The referee let the goal stand though, and GSP Polet went on to win the match 4-1.

While Bakic has gained a bit of international fame from this, Dorcol's keeper has probably gained a sense of paranoia on kickoffs and the referee hopefully got a refresher on the rules.

At times even the best struggle. Self-doubt manifests as ghostly yet tangible apparitions and complacency dulls the senses. Bearded Pirlo is not immune to this. Frustration builds inside him as it does anyone else who is aggrieved and betrayed by the inconsistency of humanity. But he did not accumulate his past successes by letting himself be victimized by destructive states of mind. He retreats to his fortified bunker high in the Alps and confides in an exceptional goat known as Davide, who offers advice and encourages confidence and humility by defecating wherever he pleases.

When Bearded Pirlo reaches his breaking point, he clenches his right hand in a fist, crushing a small children's toy he didn't even know he was holding. He then rebuilds it, handcrafting the internal electronics exactly as they were before, but better and faster and more intelligently designed.

Frustration continues to build at Liverpool following last weekend's controversial loss to Manchester United and manager Brendan Rodgers believes that frustration could push his players to dive. Something he says they don't already do, which would make them pretty much the only team in the world that doesn't.

From the Guardian:

"I'm concerned that we've not had any sort of rub of the green from officials," Rodgers said. "We like to think we are a sporting team, I have always told my players to do the right thing, not to dive, to play fair. But the fairness we show, it seems the decisions pass us by because of it. There are so many decisions that have gone against us.

"It would be a shame if players who respect the rules and managers who are asking players to stay on their feet and not dive are not getting the decisions because of it. I think it is important that referees understand that. It has been a criticism of the last few years of players going down too easy. It is not something we want to encourage but if you're not going to get decisions because of it players may do that."

These comments come just after the second episode of Being: Liverpool aired, in which Rodgers was shown repeatedly demanding his players stay on their feet during preseason training. Yet, as Rodgers implies, this is why diving is so prevalent -- if a player sees that exaggeration/simulation works for others and that trying to stay on upright leads to missed calls, diving to stay competitive can seem logical and maybe even necessary. Especially in a time where there is so much riding on immediate and constant success.

Things don't always turn out well for fathers of Manchester United players who bet on football, but Ryan Tunnicliffe's dad is now a wealthier man for having faith in his son's abilities.

Midfielder Tunnicliffe has been on the books at Manchester United since he was scouted as a 9-year-old. Seeing his son's potential at that young age, Tunnicliffe Sr. did what any upstanding father would do and rushed to his local bookmakers to place a wager. Reports The Guardian:

When the fledgling midfielder, now 19, was nine his father had placed the wager that his son would one day play for United, taking the odds of 100-1 with a £100 bet.

When Tunnicliffe made his debut appearance for the first team as a 76th-minute substitute for Marnick Vermijl in Wednesday's League Cup win over Newcastle, the 10-year-old bet earned pops a tidy £10,000 ($16,234) payout.

While 10 large is a fantastic return on investment, the Daily Mail notes that the Tunnicliffe family could be in line for another £35,000

Ronaldinho's first visit to Flamengo since he left the club on bitter terms turned nasty in the second half. Flamengo were leading Atletico-MG 2-1 in the 70th minute when Atletico defender Rever whipped around and smashed Flamengo's Victor Caceres across (full-speed replay at 1:06 into the video). And when Caceres fell to the ground, Rever also went down holding his face.

Caceres was shown a yellow card, Rever was sent off and Atletico's Jo was also booked for shoving Marcos Gonzalez. Flamengo held on the for 2-1 win and the 30,000 whistles every time he touched the ball kept Ronaldinho quiet. Rever, meanwhile, should be in line for a ban or a switch to UFC.

A 5-meter (16.4 feet) high version of Algerian artist Adel Abdessemed's bronze statue of Zinedine Zidane headbutting Marco Materazzi in the 2006 World Cup final has been erected outside Paris' Centre Pompidou, one of the world's foremost modern art museums. A smaller version of the statue had previously been on exhibition in a New York gallery, but now it is massive and out in the open for all to admire.

What would a modern art museum in the country that ultimately lost the World Cup final to Italy after Zidane was sent off for trying to ram his head through Materazzi's chest want with such a statue? From ESPN:

"This statue goes against the tradition of making statues in honour of certain victories. It is an ode to defeat," exhibition organizer Alain Michaud told Agence France Presse.

How very French. And unusually human.

Very early in Napoli's match against Lazio at the San Paolo, Miroslav Klose scored off a corner kick to put Lazio up 1-0. While the Lazio players began to celebrate, Napoli protested the goal, saying that Klose scored with his hand, which he did. Klose then admitted his offense to the referee, who disallowed the goal, and the Napoli players showed their appreciation for Klose's honesty by patting him on the back.

Napoli went on the beat Lazio 3-0, but it was the 34-year-old German legend who earned the lion's share of respect on the day. And making the incident even more enjoyable is the fact that he admitted to his handball goal in the stadium that used to be the home of Maradona, the unrepentant perpetrator of the Hand of God goal.

After Zenit St. Petersburg captain Igor Denisov demanded more money and publicly voiced his opinion that foreign signings like Hulk and Axel Witsel shouldn't be making "three times as much" as the Russian players on the team, debate has increased over the rising influence of money at the club. And now the local communist party has written an open letter to Russian president/shirtless fisherman Vladimir Putin, asking for his help in eradicating the greed at the club and replacing Italian manager Luciano Spalletti with a "taskmaster" from North Korea. (Seriously -- of all people, they asked Vladimir Putin. That's not satire.)

Zenit are owned by Gazprom, the massive Russian energy company owned by the government. But St. Petersburg native Putin has stated that the club's funding is entirely from Gazprom and not the state -- a distinction that seems more like a technicality than the best explanation.

From Reuters:

"We have an explosive situation at Zenit and the whole city of St
