Italy bids farewell to Piermario Morosini

"I do not know what to say, thinking of a friend and colleague dying on a football pitch like that. He was an amazing guy. We were in the under-21's together. Piermario, we'll miss you a lot" - Juventus and Italy midfielder Claudio Marchisio.

"When the referee stopped the game we all came close and understood. We were all shocked, then we found out the lad did not even have any parents" — Pescara goalkeeper Luca Anania reveals Morosini's tragic past.

"We know the situation of his sister and we as a team, the club, and 'Udinese For Life' have decided

LeBron James' trainers have not gone down well

Basketball superstar LeBron James is a minority owner of Liverpool FC so he has decided to honour them by releasing a "Liverpool edition" pair of  trainers.

A nice gesture for sure, but the design has already angered Liverpool fans due to key mistakes on the shoe.

As a story on the official website of Liverpool owners New England Sports Ventures says: "The shoe features the signature LFC red on the outsole and 18 league championship trophies on the bottom."

However, the trophy used to represent the club's league triumphs appears to be modelled on the Premier League trophy — a trophy that the

The Swiss have long been masters of the art of innovation. They might not have invented chocolate, trains, posh watches or pursuing the concept of world peace, but when it comes to pinching the best bits of others' ideas and making them work they're the men.

But that has left the Swiss with a problem. What do you do once you've conquered the worlds of confectionery, mass transport, elegant timepiece design and keeping your heads below the parapet?

Why, you turn your hand to reinventing sport, of course. And so the Swiss have now brought us 'Golfoot', a marriage of two of the world's most

A Russian footballer has become an unwitting internet star after his moment of madness started doing the rounds on the internet.

The incident took place during a Russian third division 'futsal' game - a variation on five-a-side football that has proper touchlines, which if you ask us is a genuine shame given the hilarious off-the-wall shenanigans that usually ensue in the average British five-a-side game.

The trouble started when the defender - clad head-to-foot in black, like any self-respecting villain -  missed a sliding tackle on his opponent, who went on to slot home past the keeper.

To

Footballing prodigy Takefusa Kubo, dubbed the 'Japanese Messi', has been snapped up by the club who boast the original Lionel Messi.

According to reports in Spain, Barcelona moved after being impressed by his performances at a football school they ran in Yokohama.

He had already shot to prominence when videos of him tricking his way past one defender after another appeared online, though for a long time his identity was unknown.

Sport, the Spanish newspaper, report that Kubo's family have moved to Barcelona, and though he does not live at their La Masia academy he comes in daily to train, and

Tibet's exiled spiritual leader the Dalai LamaExpect Aldershot Town FC to start flying up the divisions as the League Two side is set to receive a boost from a very important visitor: the Dalai Lama.

The Tibetan spiritual leader is heading to Britain for an eight-day tour this summer, and has chosen the club's EBB Stadium as the venue for one of his main public speeches on the morning of June 21 - expected to be delivered to a capacity crowd of over 7,000.

The 77-year-old holy man - a former Nobel Peace Prize winner - picked Aldershot for his address because of the town's large Buddhist population, which has been swelled over the years by

The Hashim's yacht aground in St Peter Port, Guernsey

A pair of wannabe sailors have won unwitting fame after they bought a yacht on Ebay - only to crash it within minutes of starting out on its maiden voyage.

Sid Hashim, a 62-year-old engineer from Carshalton in south London, bought the £3,000 vessel with his son Mark and had headed to St Peter Port in Guernsey to pick it up.

The boat initially stayed in the marina to be patched up a little, but with the work done the duo were excited to get out onto the waves - despite the fact that the sun had gone down by the time it was ready. They decided to test the water by moving the yacht from the

In a U-15 match between Hauppauge 'Brazil' and Dix Hills 'Heat' on Long Island, New York, the Heat scored a remarkable goal through Nkosi Burgess which has quickly become an internet hit.

A high and hopeful free kick was knocked forward towards Burgess, who backheeled it over his head, setting himself up for an overhead kick into the goal.

The finish drew a gasp and a 'wow' from the crowd where the recording was taken, while teenager Burgess is bound to be the subject of attention after such a remarkable goal.

Already tens of thousands have seen the goal online after it was put online on
