Own Goal is the player of the 2018 World Cup.

The cup of own goals, set pieces and goalie bloopers with the occasional fantastic goal thrown in

Peru got screwed because France couldn't beat the Danes

Earlier, we published a piece, “World Cup 2018: The Sexiest Fans,” that did not meet our editorial standards. We regret the error and have removed the piece. There are many interesting stories to tell about the World Cup and we acknowledge this was not one of them.

Sucks as they had a great shot of me they were getting ready to post before this kerfuffle ensued

Achilles the cat predicts Super Eagles will defeat Argentina

Honestly...should they even take the field after a prediction like that!

Sweet goal by Rojo!  with a killer assist by Mercado

Ok maybe I don't know my rules that well...but I watched that messi goal again
He looked offside to me...for just a second or two before the ball passes them

apparently I'm alone in my assessment
this rundown of the goal is great

He wasn’t close to offside, and it didn’t matter.
Not sure what he means here...wouldn't it matter if he was offside?

jez...almost lost it there in the last second
Nice win Argentina!

the shots of maradona were a little creepy tho

look where messi is when the ball was passed to him - he was onside.

It's the moment the ball is passed to him, and three guys are between him and goal at that point.

Ok..so that is the part of the rule I was shaky on...and that makes sense
I just look at the ariel shot and he is clearly in front of the last defender...but it's when the ball is already in the air

keeping it classy

They meet France next...if they beat them...they get the winner of Portugal - Uruguay
not looking good to make it to the Semi's...but I'm still rooting for them

Maradona did too many drugs....best to try and ignore him
