Nog even genieten van de opkomst van de #Ajax-spelers en hun moeders! #moederdag #ajacam pic.twitter.com/x0uocZe1nQ

Ajax gave their players’ mothers a Mother’s Day (Moederdag in Dutch) to remember that culminated with the women walking onto the pitch with their sons before the club’s match against Cambuur.
Adding one more depressing moment to the end of Steven Gerrard’s Liverpool career, the Reds lined up on the pitch at Stamford Bridge to give Chelsea a guard of honor before their match on Sunday. Chelsea clinched the Premier League title last week against Crystal Palace to earn the traditional show of respect from their next opponent.
I’m going to be away for a couple of days (I’m undergoing a cosmetic surgical procedure that will make me look like Sepp Blatter so I can overthrow FIFA from within). With no DT posts to peruse, I have some suggestions on how you can best spend your time during this brief interruption of service.
Well. Well. Well. Not such a genius when you’re going against Messi, are you Pep? Zlahahaha!
It took him 77 minutes, but when Lionel Messi finally ended Manuel Neuer’s goalkeeping masterclass in the first leg of Barcelona and Bayern Munich’s Champions League semifinal, he set fire to the whole school.
Just three minutes after his opening goal, he did this — turning Jerome Boateng into a pile of dust and chipping Neuer to realize what he couldn’t quite do in the World Cup final last summer. But beyond that simplistic description of events, there are no words to fully capture what Messi did in that moment. Just watch.
A German TV crew was recently arrested in Qatar after filming a documentary entitled “Sold Football: Sepp Blatter and the Power of FIFA” in the 2022 World Cup host nation.
From the BBC:
The filmmakers claim they were only allowed to leave the country five days later without their filming equipment, laptops and mobile phones, which were sent on four weeks later with all data deleted.
Reporter Florian Bauer said: “Now it’s public. We got arrested in Qatar, interrogated by the police and the intelligence service. Not allowed to leave the country for days.”
This was all just a silly misunderstanding, though. One that other journalists covering Qatar’s World Cup preparations will hopefully learn from.
Chelsea TV provided some impressively in-depth analysis of the team’s celebration after clinching the Premier League title with a win against Crystal Palace. Included in that analysis was a clip that will make Jose Mourinho’s supporters and detractors equally happy.
For his supporters, the site of Didier Drogba playfully spraying him with champagne and then embracing his old friend is a heart warming moment. For his haters, seeing Drogba blind him with a blast of bubbly eyeball torture from point-blank range is a brief moment of schadenfreude.
So, whichever camp you’re in, enjoy this clip.

Cristiano Ronaldo once again demonstrated his kindness towards young people at a promotional event for that weird facial fitness device he promotes.
Everyone knows that the best part of winning is rubbing it in the faces of people who have wronged you in the past. And with that in mind, Jose Mourinho, John Terry, and Cesc Fabregas all fired some shots after Chelsea clinched the Premier League title by beating Crystal Palace on Sunday.
Inter legend Javier Zanetti hosted a charity match in Milan, featuring greats from both Milan clubs like Bobo Vieri, Paolo Maldini, Clarence Seedorf, Pippo Inzaghi, Cristian Chivu, and Andriy Shevchenko. But in addition to all these wonderful footballers, there was an abomination of nature — some kind of vegetable monster named Foody.
