I cannot believe Cape Verde actually convinced this guy to play for them via LinkedIn😭. Monster of a defender.

His mother is Irish, his father is from Cape Verde. He was born and raised in Ireland, and currently the captain of Shamrock Rovers.

He represented Ireland at youth level before switching to Cape Verde.

In 2018, Cape Verde were looking for professional footballers with Cape Verdian heritage and the coach came across Pico Lopes.

He messaged him on LinkedIn to play for them, Lopes was working part time as a Mortgage advisor in a bank then and still playing professional football.

He didn’t respond because the message was in Portuguese and he didn’t understand, he thought it was a spam.

A year later (2019), the coach messaged him again, this time he did it in English. Lopes agreed to play for Cape Verde and the rest is history.

A very good addition to the squad, a pure leader. Ladies and Gentlemen, Pico Lopes.

Brad Pitt recalls standing at Eau Rouge as F1 cars flew past and it took the air out of his lungs

"I stood at the base of Eau Rouge, the story track in Belgium, Spa. For me it was the greatest track we got to drive. You stand at the bottom and they go up this blind S"

"Lewis [Hamilton] talks about how the Gs first compact your spine into the ground, then you get to the top and it's blind. He said it's the only track where you have down and upward Gs"

"You stand right next to the wall, the cars are right here, they go flat out. It takes the air out of your lungs. It is so staggering"

Something interesting, we didn’t renew our Fulham season tickets this year after 20 years as season ticket holders. Yet we didn’t get a single call or email either asking us to stay or for feedback. Tells you a lot.

When Roy Hodgson came face-to-face with his Swansea twin… 🤣

I’d feel sorry for West Ham but I had a cream egg bounced off the back of my head there about 4 years ago so fuck them.

This is a tribute to Henri Toivonen and Sergio Cresto, who passed away on this day 40 years ago. A bit of a longer video, but it’s what a legend deserves. Rest in peace, rally legend.

[𝐅𝐔𝐋𝐇𝐀𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐓𝐎 @fulhamatto]

Celebrating 51 years as a Fulham fan today, can't complain. Nearly saw the Club become Fulham Park Rangers though.

Forget about not winning a major trophy, I'm just happy we still exist.

Up the Fulham, always! #ffc

Remembering Henri Toivonen 🇫🇮 and Sergio Cresto 🇺🇸

The pair tragically lost their lives 40 years ago today while competing on the Tour de Corse ❤️🙏

[Paul McGinnes @PaulMcG1992]

Back in 2006 - BMW Sauber provided Alex Zanardi with adaptive controls to drive a Formula One car once again.

Zanardi was a true inspiration, a hero to many and all round fantastic and humble person. He had the most positive outlook on life and lived & loved every moment of it.

[Tiff Needell 🏁 @tiff_tv]

So sad to hear that Alex Zanardi has quielty passed away nearly six years after his awful handbike accident. If ever there was a man to inspire people fighting advertsity then Alex was that man. A brilliant racing driver and an entertaining character. RIP Alex.

Japanese TV commentators reporting the death of Ayrton Senna on May 1, 1994. You don´t have to understand a single word of the language to see their grief.

What a character the late, great Big Jack Charlton was. Here talking to Chris Evans on TFI Friday back in 1996 on the water breaks, the heat and day he was fined £8,000 at the 1994 World Cup.
RIP Jack Charlton
