Worst Referee Call In Women's World Cup History? You Be The Judge

One of the nice stories to come out of this year's women's world cup was the inclusion of Equatorial Guinea into the field for the first time in their countries history.

Over the weekend, they faced off against Australia and a rather bizarre play happened in the 16th minute.

Guinea's Bruna Amarante da Silva accidentally picks up the ball after a shot by Australia's Lenna Khamis but the referees fail to make the obvious handball call:

Toronto Blue Jays Have Pop Fly Issues

During last night's Pittsburgh Pirates/Toronto Blue Jays game, Pittsburgh's Lyle Overbay hit a lazy fly ball out to left field that appeared to be routinely caught.

Then, Toronto's Jose Bautista and Corey Patterson had a little bit of trouble finding it in the lights at Rogers Centre:

Doris Burke Forgets She's On Live TV Before Thunder/Mavs Game 3

Before the start of last night's Thunder/Mavericks game three of the NBA's Western Conference Finals, ESPN's Stuart Scott sent it out for a quick report from inside the arena in OKC.

ESPN's Doris Burke was supposed to talk about how the Ford Center was one of the toughest places to play in the NBA.

However, she forgot that she was live television and made a couple blunder along the way:

For some of our foreign viewers, we do like to cover futbol but it tends to either blooper/blunder or general mishap.

During the Carling Cup final between Arsenal and Birmingham, the score was tied at the 89th minute and appeared destined for extra time.

Then a freak play between Arsenal's goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny and Laurent Koscielny gave Birmingham's Obafemi Martins an open shot which gave Birmingham it's first league title since 1963:

The Florida High School Football Version of "The Miracle at The Meadowlands"

If your name is Garrett Etheridge of Winter Springs high school, you should probably scroll down to another post on this fine blog but if not feel free to watch one of the strangest endings to a high school football game.

During the 5A-3 division tiebreaker in Florida, Winter Springs faced off against Oviedo, the game tied and all Winter Springs senior quarterback Garrett Etheridge had to do was kneel down to send the game to overtime.

Etheridge didn't do that and brought shades of the Miracle of the Meadowlands to Florida:

Instead of celebrating himself, he gave the ball to offensive lineman and former college basketball player, Joe Reitz to celebrate.

Sadly for Reitz, he came up just a bit short on his celebration.
