What's going on here? I see somebody scoring a goal after a long pass and a bunch of guys not paying attention. What's wrong or illegal?
Shahktar then initially allowed Nordsjaelland to walk an equaliser in directly from kick-off to even things up, only for them to abandon that plan with the ball halfway towards their goal as Taras Stepanenko nabbed possession and ran off
Even in the rare circumstances where someone does score in soccer, it's only by some technicality. What a sport!!
Look, i'm a big fútbol fan, Adriano was in the wrong, but TECHNICALLY there is no RULE saying they must abide by the "drop ball gentleman's agreement." If you want to prevent this from happening, put it in the rules.
So wait, the ref dropped the ball in play, and no one on the other team cared about it? Not exactly sure I see what's wrong with the play..
This happens every game though. In all other sports there are stoppages for injuries. That doesn't occur in soccer since time continuously runs. Thus in order for medical staff to come onto the field the ball must be kicked out of play. If you haven't played soccer then you don't really understand.

In this video a guy kicks the ball to the opposing goalie following a similar situation. He accidentally scores the ball and is flabberghasted. They let the other team score a goal to make up for it.
There is really nothing in American sports that you can compare it to.
