A guide to living and working in LA for Steven Gerrard
Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard has officially signed with the LA Galaxy and will join his new MLS club in July. Though Gerrard is far from the first aging superstar to join the league, what does make his situation more unique is the fact that he’s played his entire career so far for his hometown club.

Arda Turan sings (terribly) on The Voice in Turkey
The winter break affords footballers the opportunity to do things away from the game for once. So Atletico Madrid’s Arda Turan went home to Turkey to try and make it as a singer (kind of) on The Voice.
For those unfamiliar with the show, the judges all start with their chairs turned away from the stage, then the contestant walks out and sings. If the judges like what they hear, they turn their chairs around to see the person singing and fill them with false hope that makes their inevitable failure to become the next Right Said Fred.
So when Turan came out, he was given a rousing ovation that piqued that judges interest. And even though his singing sounded like a labrador trying to cough up a cigarette factory, the judges still turned their chairs around just to see who the presumably special guest was.
From there, everyone had a bit of fun, but the lesson of the day is that Arda Turan probably isn’t going to leave Atletico to become the next Dion Dublin anytime soon.

Footballer sent off for mooning racist fans after after scoring goal
Ivorian striker Dally, who plays for Freamunde in the Portuguese second division, celebrated his 83rd minute goal against Chaves by mooning the opposing fans. This earned him a red card.
The player has since apologized for exposing himself and told the Record that he only did it because some of the Chaves fans were racially abusing him throughout the second half of the match. And if that isn’t justification for scoring a late goal against them and then showing them his ass then I don’t know what is.
