Football's Greatest Fraud

Quote:

The story goes that Carlos asked for a few weeks fitness training before playing his first match. He told the club that he was a natural striker due to his speed and so the coaches gave him some time. When the time came for a match Carlos asked for the first ball played to him to be played a number of yards ahead of him. He chased it and fell to the ground clutching his hamstring, insisting he had torn it. Medical technology being what it was in the 1980s there was no way of disproving the claim and so Carlos went to the treatment table.

Cheick Tiote has died from a heart attack during a training session. The man behind the 4-4 draw. Formed a good midfield with Cabaye

In Russia, Terek Grozny was re-named Akhmat FC after Akhmat Kadyrov, the first president of Chechnya. They finished 5th in Russia this year, but won't compete in Europe because Lokomotiv Moscow stole their spot by winning the cup.

Not really the beautiful part of the game, but Modric got a case of amnesia in court

Just have to say, the 2017/2018 home kits for both Barca and Real Madrid look amazing. The Barca one in particular reminds me of their 2013 out, which is probably my all-time favorite of theirs.

Asensio was brilliant today.
