Didier Drogba arrived in Montreal to begin work with the Impact and good lord are the locals excited to have him. Though Drogba is no stranger to massive airport welcome parties, he was still impressed with the one he received in Montreal — so much so that he even recorded it himself.
Lionel Messi has been absent from Barcelona’s preseason tour of the U.S. after a disappointing run in Copa America, but he isn’t just sitting around playing building Lego pirate ships all day. He’s still training and he’s found a partner to do it with him — his son Thiago.
Mogi Mirim, the Brazilian second division club owned by Rivaldo, suffered a bizarre sending off after defender Paulão decided to change his shirt at halftime.

Manchester United have announced the signing of goalkeeper Sergio Romero and something seems very wrong. Is that the look of a man who is happy to join a great club like Man United or someone in mortal danger?
But that’s just one picture. Maybe we’re jumping to conclusions here. Let’s see another…
