More freakish athleticism from NBA star Bismack Biyombo -- who put his soccer skills on display in NYC Wednesday ... crushing 4 GOALS in a celebrity charity match.

The Toronto Raptors star teamed up with some soccer pros and ex-NBA star Steve Nash for Steve's annual "Showdown in Chinatown" game which benefits the Steve Nash Foundation.

But Biyombo didn't just phone it in -- dude played HARD against the likes of Landon Donovan and other soccer pros.

The coach of the German national soccer team is apologizing for scratching his crotch and butt during a game AND IMMEDIATELY SNIFFING HIS FINGERS!!

The video went viral during the Germany vs. Ukraine match earlier this week ... when Joachim Löw was caught on camera digging down below and then taking a big whiff of the scent.

Now, Joachim is apologizing ... telling the media, "I saw the pictures as well and obviously sometimes you do things subconsciously. It happened and I am sorry."

"It was adrenaline and concentration. I will try to behave differently in the future."

Gross.

Pele's personal treasures are selling for INSANELY HIGH PRICES -- with his medal from the 1970 World Cup getting a winning bid of ... $500,000!!!!!

The medal was part of an incredible collection of Pele's trophies, awards and other memorabilia that hit the Julien's Auctions event in London.

The auction house has not yet revealed the ID of the baller who bought the $500k medal -- but damn. BTW, part of the proceeds benefit a Brazilian children's hospital.

In addition to the $500k medal. Here are some other big ticket items:

-- Pele's Jules Rimet Trophy ... $571,000

-- "1,000th Goal Ball" ... $117k

-- 1958 World Cup Winner's Medal ... $290k

-- Player of the Century award ... $83,000

When Cristiano Ronaldo -- in all his shirtless, hairless glory -- says let's take a dip ... you take a dip.

The soccer superstar was busy on his other J-O-B ... pulling hot chicks during vacay in Ibiza.

We'd say the ladies are flocking to him because he just won the UEFA title with Real Madrid, but this is pretty much Cristiano on the daily.

More legitimately impressive displays of athleticism from Justin Bieber ... with special guest, Neymar.

The Brazilian soccer superstar touched down in L.A. Thursday -- and beelined it to Bieber's pad ... where the two hung out for a bit ... before busting out the soccer ball for a juggling session.

Of course, Neymar's skills are insane (as to be expected) ... but Bieber wasn't too bad either.

In fact, he's pretty good.

Cristiano Ronaldo celebrated his championship the same way he won it -- very, very shirtless ... except now he's on a yacht.

The soccer star -- fresh off scoring the decisive penalty kick to give Real Madrid its 11th UEFA Champions League title -- was hanging with friends Sunday catching rays and a dip off the coast in Ibiza, Spain.

It's like he never got dressed after ripping off his jersey. And, honestly ... why should he?

Wanna own a piece of soccer history? Better check your bank account ...

Soccer legend Pele is auctioning off some of his most prized possessions -- from record-breaking soccer balls to game used jerseys ... to the cleats he wore in the 1981 movie, "Victory."

But the crown jewel of the collection is his Jules Rimet trophy -- made especially for him after winning his 3rd World Cup. It's expected to fetch somewhere in the neighborhood of $500,000!!!!!

Cristiano Ronaldo and Robbie Keane on the same team? In L.A.?

It's possible ... so says the Irish soccer legend who tells TMZ Sports he'd love to see Ronaldo come out west and play alongside him on the Galaxy before he retires.

Last year, Ronaldo told the media he only planned to play for about 4 or 5 years -- so, we asked Keane if there was a chance CR7 would join him in the MLS, like so many European stars are doing these days.

"I think it's probably a natural progression for him," Keane said ... "Hopefully, not for another couple of years."

Manchester City soccer superstar Samir Nasri was rollin' around Hollywood in a $300k Rolls-Royce this week ... not giving a flying [you know what] about his driver's license controversy in France.

FYI, Nasri is one of the highest paid soccer players in the world ... and has penchant for VERY expensive cars.

But there's drama back in France ... where the 28-year-old was reportedly named in a police investigation for allegedly illegally buying a driver's licence for 8,000 euros without passing the proper tests.

Drama.

Nasri didn't seem phased Wednesday night, when got behind the wheel of what appears to be a Rolls-Royce Wraith and left Warwick nightclub.

Well, here's a gruesome photo to start your Thursday ...

Check out the distorted digit on the hand of Team USA goalie Nick Rimando.

It's crooked ... and it looks super painful.

Unclear how Rimando jacked up the finger -- but, damn.

Uh-oh Shakira ... the hottest ass in the universe might be trying to score with your baby daddy ... 'cause Miss BumBum is putting her two best cheeks forward to get the attention of soccer superstar Pique.

Suzy Cortez -- the reigning Miss BumBum (basically the best butt in Brazil) -- has been targeting Pique on the 'Gram ... posting sexy pictures wearing his jersey ... and tagging Pique in the photos.

It wasn't exactly sliding into Pique's DMs, butt it signals she's a huge fan ... and fans have been known to do wild things for the players they love ... aka have sex with them.

BTW -- it's not Suzy's first time on the pitch ... she was reportedly blocked on IG by Lionel Messi and his GF for sending the Argentine footballer some sexy shots a while ago.

Get that block button ready, Shakira.

One of the greatest Brazilian soccer players of all time is warning people to NOT come to Brazil for the Olympics ... saying his country is so violent and dangerous, tourists' lives will be at risk.

The man calling out his country is Rivaldo -- who famously won the World Cup with Brazil in 2002. He's also a member of the Brazilian soccer Hall of Fame.

Rivaldo unleashed Sunday after learning of the murder of a 17-year-old girl.

"Things are getting uglier in Brazil," Rivaldo posted on Instagram ... "I advise everyone with plans to visit Brazil for the Olympics in Rio – to stay home. You'll be putting your life at risk here."

He added, "This is without even speaking about the state of public hospitals and all the Brazilian political mess. Only God can change the situation in our Brazil."

The Olympics are set to begin in Rio on August 5th ... despite the violence, water issues, Zika scare and everything else.

U.S. soccer legend Abby Wambach flipped her SUV in a secret late night car wreck back in 2014 -- and miraculously emerged healthy enough to walk more than a mile home following the crash.

The level of soccer in the U.S. is getting dangerously close to the elite leagues in Europe ... so says the greatest player of all time, Pele.

TMZ Sports spoke with the Brazilian soccer legend at a Hublot watch event in NYC Tuesday -- and the 75-year-old told us Team USA has made SERIOUS improvements since he played with the NY Cosmos back in the '70s.

And while Pele wouldn't predict when Team USA would finally win the World Cup -- saying "football is a book of surprise" -- he did praise Team USA coach Jurgen Klinsmann.

Imagine you're about to play a middle school soccer game ... and Ronda Rousey shows up to give the pre-game pump up speech -- pretty cool, right?!

Abby Wambach has changed her tune in her DUII case -- pleading guilty to driving under the influence of intoxicants -- but she won't spend another minute behind bars.

In exchange for her guilty plea stemming from her April 2nd arrest, Wambach was ordered into a "diversion program" ... which usually requires people to complete classes and avoid getting into trouble.

The specifics of Wambach's diversion requirements have not been made public yet.

As we previously reported, Wambach was arrested after blowing through a red light in Portland earlier this month and then bombing a field sobriety test.

She initially pled not guilty to DUII -- but changed her plea on Tuesday.
