The transfer saga of the summer is Paul Pogba potential move back to Manchester United, which could bring a new world record fee, and he’s milking this spotlight for all its worth.
In a clever ploy to protect the other Barca players from Luis Suarez, the club decided to play a bit of bubble football during a training session at England’s national football center. The players seemed to enjoy slamming into each other and I’m pretty sure Leo Messi was able to fit his entire body inside his bubble. Good times.
During his time with Chelsea, Didier Drogba scored 13 goals in 15 appearances against Arsenal. So when he ended his second stint with the Blues and moved to a different continent, Arsenal likely thought they were finally free from his tyranny. They were wrong.
Juventus paid €90 million for Gonzalo Higuain — the 28-year-old destroyer of Lionel Messi’s dreams and Serie A’s top scorer last season. This is a lot of money for any player, let alone one who is closing in on 30 years old. And so it has prompted the indignant question raised every time there is a transfer fee larger than what is currently accepted to be within the always rising range of normality: Is he worth it?
Colombia’s Atletico Nacional beat Ecuadorian underdogs Independiente del Valle 1-0 in the second leg of the Copa Libertadores final to win the competition for the first time since the Pablo Escobar funded days of 1989. But before the match even began, there was a celebratory atmosphere and the stands were lit up like the world’s largest firefly orgy.
When you hate wearing a shirt as much as Cristiano Ronaldo does, you’re bound to get cold sooner or later. So to alleviate that problem, Cristiano now has his own line of blankets. And if the video/sextape intro above is any indication, he’s a fan of them.
There are a variety of colors and designs, but I think this one would look best in your home…
Some time has passed since Simone Zaza’s cartoonish penalty in Italy’s shootout loss to Germany in the Euro 2016 semifinals, but German NBA star Dirk Nowitzki isn’t going let him forget it. During a charity match in Mainz, Germany, Nowitzki replicated Zaza’s high-stepping run-up and crap shot, then laughed at Zaza’s endless pain.
Cristiano Ronaldo visited UFC star Conor McGregor at his Las Vegas gym and the two had one of the most unrelatable conversations you’ll ever hear.
If there’s one thing the Premier League taught us last season it’s that pizza can perform miracles. Claudio Ranieri used it to fuel and inspire Leicester City to a still unbelievable Premier League title. But as Pep Guardiola prepares for his first season in the league with Manchester City, he has already committed a fatal error by banning his players from consuming the magical combination of dough, sauce, and cheese.
Though EA Sports’ FIFA series long ago surpassed Pro Evo Soccer to become the undisputed king of football video games, PES chips away at their rival’s superior resources where they can. Konami’s newly announced deal with Barcelona does that in a relatively small but significant way for Barca fans.
As part of the deal, Camp Nou will only appear in PES 2017, as will the club’s anthem. The club and players will still appear in FIFA 17 as well, but their partnership with Konami ensure that they will “be faithfully reproduced in the series using the Team ID and Player ID systems to guarantee that PES 2017 perfectly reflects both the general and individual style of play of the Barca first team.”
It’s unclear whether that means PES will have Messi’s new hairstyle, though.
Judging by the trailer above, it looks like PES is aiming to be a combination of the FIFA games and Football Manager. So if that’s what you want, this might be the game for you.
Anyway, if you’re playing FIFA 17 and wondering why Barcelona’s home matches are played at “Estadi Catalonia” or whatever, this is the reason.
