It was the last minute of the match. Werder Bremen 2, Aachen 1. Freekick for Aachen. Can I go in their box? the Aachen goalkeeper asks. Immediately, he started running to the opponent's goal.
The ball was cleared, a small pass to Diego, shot from more than 60 meters and... and... gooooaaaaaaaal! It is incredible! Werder Bremen's player managed to score an amazing goal that was of course uploaded on YouTube and recorded a huge number of views in the first 24 hours since its upload time. At this time, the video has 416.963 views, 449 comments and was flagged as favorite by 531 users. As you can see, the sports content is probably one of the most attractive type of clips for most of the Internet users, managing to gather an impressive number of viewers.

YouTube knows the sports clips are continuously attracting users and tried to sign several deal to bring more content to the page. Although YouTube's sports category hosts a huge number of clips, the parent company Google partnered with NBA and Chelsea FC to provide even more videos. After the agreements were confirmed, two new channels were published on YouTube that allow users to access the sports content provided by the two companies with ease. That's why you're now able to view the latest news and headlines concerning basketball and football straight from Google's online video sharing service.

However, the most attractive clips are still the ones uploaded by the users and can be regarded home-generated content. In the past, the number of the YouTube users was boosted just after the Viacom removal was confirmed, the company sustaining that most of them were attracted by homemade clips.
