This might be the most implausible thing I’ve ever seen in a soccer match:
Djimi Traore scores thunderous goal for Sounders
On Monday, Djimi Traore scored a blistering 35-yard goal for the Seattle Sounders in the CONCACAF Champions League to help them to the semifinals. Suspicions of witchcraft are probably not unfounded.

- That is very difficult shot to even get on target, never mind in off the crossbar at approximately two billion miles and hour.It came in the middle of a three-goal second-half comeback that saw an MLS team knock out a Mexican one in the CONCACAF Champions League for the first time ever.
...and most importantly, Djimi Traore did it. Yes, that Djimi Traore -- the 33-year-old who, going into Monday, had two goals in 272 club appearances. Liverpool supporters watching this are probably assuming it was an own goal.
