This Balotelli Ferdinand fight took place right after the FA Cup semifinal between Manchester United and Man City, which the latter edged 1-0, thanks to a solitary Yaya Toure goal.
Both Mario Balotelli and Rio Ferdinand are known for their fragile tempers and it is no wonder that the two got involved in a fight. Ferdinand was on the verge of grabbing Balotelli’s shirt, but the Balotelli vs Ferdinand fight was broken up by Man City manager Roberto Mancini and his assistant David Platt.

This stunning Quinonez Wilson free kick has created a record for being the world’s longest ever free kick. The Quinonez Wilson goal was scored against Club Cerro Porteño PF from an amazing distance of nearly 83m out ( see goal video below) on 9/4/11 ( 9th April, 2011). Quinonez Wilson, for the uninitiated, is a goalkeeper for Paraguayan second division side Sport Colombia.
From just outside his own box ( and from millions of yards away from the opposition box), Wilson fires the free kick into the opposition keeper’s goal- absolutely amazing freekick. He however does receive a yellow card from the referee for his goal celebration.

Anfield- January 1, 2011
Many Liverpool fans have felt disgusted by the way their team has played in recent times, but this goal was a pleasure to watch. Excellent build up for the goal and a more than decent finish to accompany it.
After seeing this particular goal, Roy will be wondering why his charges cannot replicate it week in and week out.
