Leeds United midfielder Adryan takes biggest flop ever (VIDEO)

Leeds United's Brazilian prospect Adryan has been compared to great like Kaka and Zico in the past, but looked more like Flops the Clown over the weekend. 


The Brazil U20 international, who is on loan from Flamengo, went spastic after barely being touched by a Derby County player on Saturday. 



Adryan's fish-out-of-water act might be the best overreaction ever. He definitely has a future on the pitch — or on the stage.

Ref abandons soccer match after five players feign injuries all at once (VIDEO)

A Peruvian soccer team sure picked a strange way to have a salvage their dignity and have a one-sided game abandoned during a Copa Peru playoff rout by having five players go down at once with faked injuries so the referee would call the game.

Defensor Bolivar were losing 4-1 in the first round of the semi-final match against Defensor La Bocana, and already had two men sent off, before they started dropping like flies on the pitch.




With seven minutes of the game remaining, five Bolivar players fell to the ground in a disgraceful ploy to cancel the match and take flopping to a shocking new level:



Defensor La Bocana chose to play on and scored a fifth goal as they continued play with the remaining four "fit" players.

FIFA rules state that a team must have at least seven players on the field to continue and therefore the referee was forced to abandon the game.




The second leg of the tie is due to be played on Thursday but there are doubts whether that game will go on until Peruvian football officials decide whether to punish Bolivar for their misconduct.

Soccer player's reaction to red card is pretty bizarre (VIDEO)

Nobody has ever said there's a shortage of dramatic reactions on a professional soccer pitch, but one Swedish league star just might have taken the sport's histrionics to a new level.

Norrkoping's Alhaji Kamara got a red card this weekend and it apparently triggered one of the strangest responses to being sent off — ever.



After going late on an opponent, the emotional striker sprinted across the pitch beating his chest and screaming with rage — even before the referee had even brought out the red card.

Kamara continued his bizarre tantrum as he ran straight down the tunnel and into the locker room.




It's hard to tell if Kamara looked more like he was celebrating a goal than leaving the pitch like scolded 5-year-old.

And the Oscar goes to ...
