The famous incident from the 2003 Carlsberg Cup, where Danish midfielder Morten Wieghorst intentionally missed a penalty against Iran.
The referee had awarded the penalty because an Iranian defender caught the ball with his hands inside the box, mistakenly thinking he had heard the half-time whistle.Since the penalty was awarded due to a misunderstanding, Wieghorst consulted his coach and deliberately fired his shot wide as a display of sportsmanship, an act for which he later won an Olympic Committee Fair Play Award.
Football is great
Mbappé spotted a blind child among the French fans, stopped to hold his hands and give him a hug so he could feel him ❤️🥹. Such a beautiful moment… What a guy! 😭👏
🥺 Rute Cardoso, the wife of Diogo Jota, has shared a heartfelt message with Scotland captain Andy Robertson ahead of the World Cup.
A lovely gesture 👏❤️
Thought this was cool. Justin Rose shared yesterday that every year he takes a golf trip with friends he grew up with. Last year's itinerary? Pebble Beach, Spyglass Hill, Monterey Peninsula and Cypress Point.
"We had blue sky days every day. It was just the most epic trip for the boys, all from the U.K. Yeah, helping them just kind of share those moments and all of us to share that together was incredibly special."

A final piece of advice from Holly Butcher - written the day before she passed away from cancer at just 27:
“It’s a strange thing knowing you’re going to die young.
At 26, I thought I had time…
To fall in love.
Start a family.
Grow old.
But cancer doesn’t care about plans.
Now, I understand how fragile life really is. Every single day is a gift, not a guarantee.
I’m not writing this to scare you. I’m writing to remind you: really live.
Stop stressing over little things. Be kind to your body- move it, nourish it, stop criticizing it. One day you’ll wish you had appreciated it.
Go outside.
Look at the sky.
Feel the sun.
Just be.
Spend less time chasing “stuff” - more time making memories. Don’t skip moments with people you love.
Laugh more.
Write a note.
Tell someone you love them.
Complain less.
Give more.
Helping others brings more joy than anything you can buy.
Be present.
Put your phone down.
Show up - really show up.
You don’t need to have it all figured out. You don’t need a perfect body, or a perfect life.
Just follow what makes your heart light up. Say no to what drains you. Make changes when you need to.
And please - donate blood. I wouldn’t have had that extra year without it. And that year gave me memories I’ll hold close… forever.
Thank you for reading this.
Live your life well.
And maybe… we’ll meet again someday.”
