Drug tests are funny.
The guy doing fentanyl all weekend passes by Wednesday.
The guy who hit a joint at a barbecue three weeks ago is the one failing.
Boycott them, from everything that happened in the last year, from that embarrassment of a summer window last year, to the Kairat Almaty tie, to the appointment of Nancy, then that embarrassing January window. They can’t even put two friendlies on the season book. Ridneck
🚨📲 João Neves and Bruno Fernandes respond on Instagram after facing criticism from Ronaldo fans:

🚨🎙️ Nicolás Otamendi on how Argentina treats Lionel Messi:
“People always ask if we treat Messi differently in the national team.
The answer is yes... and anyone who says otherwise is lying.
We're talking about the greatest player in history.
But it's not about giving him special privileges. It's about understanding who he is and what he means to Argentina.
When Messi speaks, everyone listens. When Messi is on the pitch, everyone runs a little harder. Not because he asks us to, but because he inspires it.
I've played with him for many years, and what surprises me most is his humility. A player who has won everything could act like a king, but Leo is one of the most normal people you'll ever meet.
That's why the dressing room protects him.
Not because he's Messi the superstar, but because he's Messi our captain, our teammate and the man who carried the dreams of an entire country for so many years.
Some teams have great players.
We have Messi.
And trust me, that's a privilege none of us take for granted."
Wayne Rooney on Lionel Messi crying after scoring in Argentina’s opening World Cup game:
🗣️ “That image tells you everything about what football means to Lionel Messi.”
“People see the trophies, the records, the fame... but they don't always see the emotion and pressure that comes with carrying a nation’s hopes.”
“This is his sixth World Cup, he has achieved almost everything in football, yet scoring for Argentina on this stage still brings tears to his eyes.”
“That’s because it means something. It’s not about statistics, it’s about passion, pride, and representing your country.”
“When a player like Messi cries after a goal, you realise he still loves the game as much as he did as a kid.”
“Moments like this are why football is the greatest sport in the world.”
Seeing 5,000 Scottish fans bring a footie atmosphere to a baseball game is a sight to behold 😂 Doubt Fenway Park has ever heard anything like it 🏴
After the referee blew the whistle to call the game off, players from both Denmark and Ukraine came together in a moment of collective solidarity with Christian Eriksen.
Martin O’Neill pulled off a stunning comeback last season. It should have been a fairytale ending for him as Celtic manager.
But we are run by people who have no vision beyond what they’re going to have for dinner tonight.
I hope they at least back him in the transfer market.
Robbie Keane, Scott brown, Johnny hayes and Stephen glass is a coaching team you hire on an intermin base with nothing to play for with 2 months left of a season
It’s not a coaching team to To win league titles that’s for sure
This isn’t spoken about enough.
No Tierney, McGregor or Engels. Scales at left back, Arthur at centre back having played less than 10 pro games.
Even at the penalties they won the toss to shoot at their end and take first penalty.
Celtic still won 😂
"Hits the hand", "his hand is up in an unnatural position", "his arm is above shoulder height".
This is a pretty bog standard penalty decision that few people would care about if it happened in October.
