It's football. But not as you know it. Yakshemash!

Never heard of this guy? Then you're obviously not as in to your Krygystani Futsal as you thought you were. Part-timer. Needless to say we like to think of ourselves as Futsal experts here at ToePoke, mainly because... [More]
This. Is. Brilliant.
Observe, ladies and gents, why lower league football will always, that's ALWAYS, be better than that shitty Premier League nonsense. Just listen to... [More]
OK, so it's our second worldy of the week. Big whoop wanna fighdaboutit?
#7 Alvaro Negredoa
Sevilla v Valencia
31st January 2010
Yeah, yeah - we've already had our worldy this week thanks to Guti's backheel for a very grateful Karim Benzema. But to be fair, we did tell you that there was another one coming. And here it is, a goal scored on the very same weekend as Benzema's, in the very same league. And people try to tell us the Premier League is... [More]
...with more than a little help from Guti
#6 Karim Benzema
Deportivo v Real Madrid
29th January 2010
Now then, what's going on here? Quick break from a keeper's throw, standard. Slick passage of play down the left from Kaka, canny. Tidy ball through to Guti, nice. Good touch to tee himself up to slot past the keeper and...wo...er...hang on.
WHAT THE HELL HAS HE JUST DONE THERE? That's right, he's made a right... [More]
It may be a week late, but we're sure you'll agree it's worth the wait...
#5 Radoslaw Majewski
West Brom v Nottingham Forest
8th January 2010
We like to think we here at ToePoke don't represent the new age post-1992 football fan as made famous by that Lovejoy chap. He should've stuck with doing that Deadwood show in the US if you ask us. So while there are some people out there who'd prefer to see Pat Butcher's sex face than action from... [More]
His name is Leo, and he dances on shit La Liga teams...
#4 Lionel Messi
Tenerife v Barcelona
11th January 2010
If, like us, you watched the Soccer Saturday team do their best with limited resources last weekend, you were no doubt also (begrudgingly) impressed with the way Merse, Le Tiss, Charlie Nicholas and of course Sir Stelling managed to entertain us all despite having only one Premier League match to talk about. The highlight of the day, however, was Matt Le Tissier's perfect use of the word "impudent" to describe Steven Pienaar's classy and cocky finish for Everton's second goal... [More]
Zlat's the way to do it...
#3 Zlatan Ibrahimovic
Xerez v Barcelona
2nd December 2009
It can be a bit confusing when Barcelona play in their away top. It's bright orange and they look a bit like Dundee Utd. Thankfully they don't play like Dundee Utd. Fresh from showing the Galacticos from Madrid 'who da man' (Swedish translation: Jag kan inte tro att du kontrollera... [More]
They Fink it's all over!*
*obligatory pun alert
#2 Michael Fink
Besiktas v Fenerbahce
21st November 2009
Attention volley fans - this beaut by Besiktas' Michael Fink at the weekend might cause you to scream involuntarily, so if you're in a library or competing in a sponsored silence, you might want to save watching it until later. There are three reasons (other than the possiblity of a poor pun) why this goal wins our award this week: [More]
