Jeremy Menez recently moved from Milan to Bordeaux and he has wasted no time in shedding blood and chunks of his body for his new club. During a friendly against Lorient, Didier Ndong stomped on Menez’s head, which ripped off a chunk of Menez’s ear.
Graphic image of said ear this way…
Former Man United and current Sunderland manager David Moyes sits beside former Sunderland and current England manager Sam Allardyce and former Man United manager and current Man United executive Sir Alex Ferguson during Wayne Rooney’s testimonial at Old Trafford.
Mark Clattenburg was the referee for both the 2016 Champions League final and the Euro 2016 final — an impressive combination of honors that few people would ever talk about since, you know, he’s a referee. But the never attention shy Clattenburg came up with a way to make this a topic of conversation amongst anyone who sees his left arm by getting tattoos of the competitions’ logos/trophies.
Sevilla captain Coke has decided to move to Schalke after five seasons and three Europa League titles with the Spanish club. With his now former Sevilla teammates in attendnace, there wasn’t a dry eye at Coke’s farewell press conference.
I got an early look at FIFA 17 at an event in New York marking the partnership between EA Sports and Bayern Munich. This only partially explains why Javi Martinez and NBA player JR Smith faced David Alaba and Zedd (a person who does music) as the culmination of the evening. The team of Alaba and Zedd won both matches they played. Javi Martinez was not pleased.
Former Italy goalkeeper Walter Zenga has been unveiled as Wolverhampton’s new manager and at his first press conference he got a little carried away while describing the importance of the Championship club abroad.
“Try it, you cannot stop…try it, you cannot stop…try ittttt, you cannot stooooooooop…”
At the start of the season, fans eager to stamp out MLS’s “retirement league” tag and impatient writers desperate for pageviews dubbed Frank Lampard the league’s worst ever signing. Now, after a loan (that wasn’t really a loan at all) to Man City and a nagging calf injury that has limited his time in MLS since being unveiled by New York City FC in 2014, Lampard has scored eight goals in his last seven matches, including the first hat trick in his club’s brief history.

Three minutes and 11 seconds into his Man United debut and just two days after he began training with the club, Zlatan Ibrahimovic scored an acrobatic goal in a friendly against Galatasaray in his native Sweden. A rather perfect debut for Zlatan, but why would you expect anything else?
Zlatan only played the first 45 minutes against Gala, not because of fitness concerns, but because it would’ve been unfair to subject them to a full 90 minutes of him in a friendly.
WATCH: Will Ferrell took on @FuchsOfficial in a penalty shootout yesterday, see how he got on below. #ICC2016https://t.co/KbFaTWMXDo

LAFC part-owner Will Ferrell visited with Leicester City during their summer tour of the U.S., giving him an opportunity to show some skills that would fit right in with the Italian national team.
Defender Christian Fuchs acted as goalkeeper against Ferrell’s penalty attempts. He didn’t have to do much on the first two, but on the third, Ferrell used the initial save as a distraction so he could throw a second ball into the open net.
A preview of what’s to come from LAFC, surely.
