The Czech Republic didn’t make it out of the group stage at Euro 2016, so Petr Cech decided to occupy his time by acting as a ball boy at Wimbledon because why not? Cech helped out friend and countryman Radek Stepanek as he practiced ahead of his opening round match against Nick Kyrgios and given the Arsenal goalkeeper’s profession, you can be sure he didn’t let a single ball get by him.

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp celebrates his 49th birthday on June 16, so to mark the occasion, the club decided to create an abomination of nature.Â

England team have I Am Zlatan available to read at their Euro 2016 hotel
England have arrived at Auberge du Jeu de Paume — their Chantilly, France hotel and training base for Euro 2016 — so FATV have released a video tour of the facilities they will be inhabiting for the next few weeks.
Sam Allardyce gave a member of One Direction some kind of piledriver spanking
England beat the Rest of the World team 3-2 in this year’s edition of the Soccer Aid match to benefit UNICEF and Sam Allardyce used this event as an excuse to demonstrate his odd mix of professional wrestling and corporal punishment on One Direction’s Niall Horan.

This is a video of Sunderland manager Sam Allardyce going hard in Marbella, Spain after saving his club from relegation. Presumably this was filmed before he started rolling on Molly, stripped naked, and slathered himself in BBQ sauce.
If you want to compare his moves to those of other Premier League level dancers, here’s Roberto Martinez in action at a Jason Derulo concert and Peter Crouch going HAM in Ibiza…
John Terry is living life to its fullest
With a miserable season behind him and one last hard fought Chelsea contract extension now signed, John Terry is enjoying life and sharing this enjoyment with his Instagram followers. Above is video of a smiling Terry ziplining with his wife in Dubai, set to R. Kelly’s “I Believe I Can Fly.” If this doesn’t inspire Chelsea to a treble next season, I don’t know what will.
The coordinated character assassination of Louis van Gaal
Manchester United won their first trophy since the 2013 retirement of Sir Alex Ferguson on Saturday, edging out Crystal Palace 2-1 in extra time with 10-men to lift the FA Cup. It had been 12 years since Man United last won the FA Cup. Wayne Rooney, a player who has seemingly won everything there is to win with the club, had never won this trophy until now.
This joyous occasion created a bit of a problem, though. Round 9,377 of “Jose Mourinho to Man United confirmed!” reports was already winding its way through the media like the latest updates from the boy who cried wolf as Louis van Gaal was proudly showed off his fourth domestic cup in as many countries. Though Mourinho replacing Van Gaal, who still has a year left on his contract, has seemed like a foregone conclusion for months, the image of Van Gaal celebrating like it was his birthday party while everyone treated it like his funeral is one that Man United and/or Mourinho’s representatives likely didn’t appreciate.
Appearances aside, the FA Cup did little to sweeten an otherwise grueling season in which Man United finished outside of Champions League qualification and with their lowest number of goals scored in the Premier League era (49). But some people care about appearances. And those people apparently felt that something had to be done.
The cringe-filled lowlights of the 2016 FA Cup final
The 2016 FA Cup final was always going to be a strange one. Crystal Palace, led by Alan Pardew and his outsized self-regard against Man United, led by dead man walking Louis van Gaal (while Jose Mourinho redecorates his office back in Manchester). But the oddities began well before kickoff.
