Zlatan Ibrahimovic is not happy. Swedish paper Dagens Nyheter put together a list of the country’s top 150 athletes of all time and Zlatan came in at number two behind five-time Wimbledon winner Bjorn Borg.
When asked about this blatant attempt to anger him, Zlatan did not disappoint.
Well hello there.
I see you’ve caught me trying my hardest at football. Of course, we both know that I’m capable of scoring from this position. And we also both know that when I say that I’m referring to sex. And goals. Because I do both of those things a lot. And no, not just when I’m alone. Ha-HA!
What do you get when you put Iker Casillas or David Luiz in a room with kids who don’t expect to be in a room with Iker Casillas or David Luiz? A pair of delightful videos.
Ivorian striker Dally, who plays for Freamunde in the Portuguese second division, celebrated his 83rd minute goal against Chaves by mooning the opposing fans. This earned him a red card.
The player has since apologized for exposing himself and told the Record that he only did it because some of the Chaves fans were racially abusing him throughout the second half of the match. And if that isn’t justification for scoring a late goal against them and then showing them his ass then I don’t know what is.
Jose Mourinho and Mario Balotelli had their run-ins during their time at Inter and though their relationship suffered for it at the time, it seems that Mourinho can laugh about it now that they’ve gone their separate ways.
In an interview with BT Sport’s Clare Balding, Mourinho tells the story of how Balotelli once skipped a meeting between the two of them so he could attend a Formula 1 event. Mario’s reason for doing this? According to Mourinho, Balotelli told him, “Meetings in your office I can have every day, but Formula 1 is only in Italy once a year.”
Well played, Mario. Well played.
Forget the mistletoe lads? @Official_BRFC‘s Lee Mansell goes in for a cheeky kiss with @GatesheadFC‘s JJ O’Donnell! https://t.co/J3zRnv5neJ

Bristol Rovers beat Gateshead 3-2 last weekend in a match that included one of the most unusual yellow cards of the season. Minutes after scoring Rovers’ second equalizer in the 68th minute, Lee Mansell went nose to nose with Gateshead’s JJ O’Donnell. But instead of escalating the situation to violence, Mansell kept the spirit of the season in mind and gave O’Donnell an unexpected pair of kisses.
Since Santa Claus has to work on Jesus’ birthday, he decided to take him to the Liverpool-Arsenal match on Sunday. And since Jesus is apparently Brendan Rodgers’ biggest fan for some odd reason, he brought his “Brendan I’ve got your back!” sign to the game.
This proved to be true.
Hours after winning the Club World Cup with Real Madrid in Morocco, Cristiano Ronaldo returned to his hometown of Funchal on the Portuguese island of Madeira for the unveiling of a very…detailed new statue of himself. As you can see, no one was more excited about the unveiling than the statue itself.
Roma and Milan played out a 0-0 draw on Saturday and yet the match still included a wonderful goal. Jeremy Menez was ruled offside as he chased down a ball that appeared to be heading over the endline during the first half, but he decided to contort his body to get off a shot from the ridiculous angle anyway. And he only went and pulled it off.
It’s times like this when officials should just say, “You know what — that was awesome. The goal stands.”
Real Madrid technically beat San Lorenzo 2-0 in the FIFA Club World Cup final to claim the title for the first time (they previously won the Intercontinental Cup, which was the predecessor to this tournament, three times), but the real winner was 11-year-old Prince Moulay Hassan.
