Arsenal players trolled by children, Per Mertesacker proves untrollable

Following the brilliance of Hector Bellerin and Nacho Monreal’s match commentary, Arsenal’s YouTube channel has struck gold once again. This time, the players were the marks as children were tasked with subjecting them to uncomfortable interviews.

Jack Wilshere, Per Mertesacker, Bellerin, and Calum Chambers first had to deal with their younger interviewers’ disappointment that they weren’t Aaron Ramsey or Mesut Ozil. Bellerin, in particular, wasn’t too empathetic. Then came some tough trivia questions. Well, they were supposed to be tough, but Mertesacker certainly didn’t think so, as he surprised his prankster with the answers.

Wilshere, meanwhile, just looked like he wanted to headbutt the kid questioning him.

Don’t mess with Mertesacker. He knows his African capitals.

Ireland’s tiny kit man dressed up as Superman to celebrate their Euro 2016 place

 

Ireland upset Bosnia and Herzegovina in their Euro 2016 qualification playoff to reach the finals for the second consecutive time. After winning the second leg 2-0 at home, the Irish celebrated in the dressing room with pint-sized kit man Dick Redmond barreling in dressed as Superman.

“I’m 60 and I’m going to France!” he shouted after getting doused with beer by the players. Brilliant.

Ireland will join England, Wales, and Northern Ireland as representatives of the British Isles at Euro 2016, leaving Scotland to pretend it has something better to do that month.

La Liga president admits to being a Real Madrid fan, proving every conspiracy theory ever

Fans of every La Liga club except Real Madrid have long believed that Los Blancos receive preferential treatment from those in charge, and now they have all the proof they need to claim validation.

Javier Tebas, Costa Rica born president of La Liga, has admitted to being a Real Madrid supporter.

From BeIN Sports:

“If I say I don’t support [Madrid], then that would be hypocritical and I would be painted as a liar,” he said in an interview with AS.

“And I certainly don’t like to be called a liar. Imagine if I said that I loved all teams, and then it came out that I supported Madrid since I was a boy, went to 27 Clasicos in the past, that I celebrated Madrid wins with friends in a bar. I prefer to call it as it is.”

Does this mean every penalty Real Madrid are awarded is a direct order from Tebas? Yep. Does it mean Barcelona and Atletico Madrid are being actively sabotaged at every turn? Of course. Does it mean that the Cristiano Ronaldo documentary will be shown at all official La Liga functions? You know it.

This, my friends, is indisputable proof that the Illuminati is real.
