After enjoying a memorable day of his own, in his which his team won his UNICEF charity match and he got to play alongside his eldest son at Old Trafford, David Beckham gave someone else crazy memory when he picked up a reporters phone during his post-match press conference.
Postponed by 24 hours due to torrential rain, Argentina and Brazil played their World Cup qualifier on Friday night and David Luiz left his mark both on the game and the appendages of his opponents.
Luiz was sent off after a nasty stomp on Lucas Biglia in the 88th minute of the 1-1 draw.

As the devastating attacks on Paris unfolded outside the Stade de France during the France-Germany friendly, the stadium became a place of refuge for those inside. The German team stayed in the stadium for the night after a bomb threat on their hotel was reported earlier in the day and fans stood on the pitch until they were given the all clear to go home.
Comparisons between Jose Mourinho and Cristiano Ronaldo might seem very natural. They’re both very confident Portuguese men who have achieved tremendous success in football, even winning a few trophies together at Real Madrid. But it seems in their separation from one another, they’re becoming even more alike.
Fresh off winning his 10th Swedish Golden Ball, Zlatan Ibrahimovic is apparently feeling even more enamored with himself than usual. Ahead of Sweden’s Euro 2016 qualification playoff against Denmark, the PSG striker declared that the tournament’s host nation would be nothing without him.
From the BBC:
“I would love to play at the European Championship in France,” said Ibrahimovic.
“I have played there for four years. I have put Sweden on the world map and now I have put France on the world map too.”
Just to be clear, France is a nation that won the World Cup (a trophy Zlatan has never won), won two European Championships (a trophy Zlatan has never won), and a French club won the Champions League (a trophy Zlatan has never won), all before Zlatan arrived in France in 2012.
Granted, Zlatan did bring renewed international interest in French football after Ligue 1 had fallen behind a bit and the French national team became a laughing stock at the 2010 World Cup, but to say he put France on the world map is just, well, about what you would expect from Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
It’s only a matter of time before he takes credit for croissants and the works of Marcel Proust.
After going for a more understated vibe with their Euro 2016 home kits, Adidas went for a more experimental approach with Spain and Russia’s away shirts.
John Terry, like many Chelsea players, has lost his legs this season. So in this animated short from the always excellent FitbaThatba, Roman Abramovich attempts to solve Jose Mourinho’s problems with a bit of creative engineering. I think this might be the key to turning Chelsea’s season around.
If you’ve ever dreamed of wearing a pair of boots that look like an old Batman cartoon, Puma have you covered with their new evoPower Pop Art boot.
The Czech Republic already qualified for Euro 2016, so while other nations prepare for their qualification playoffs or do just about anything else, the Czechs are kicking out the jams.
Jamie Vardy is having a historic season with goals in nine consecutive matches and counting for Leicester (one shy of Ruud van Nistelrooy’s Premier League record), so he probably doesn’t need much help cementing a place in England’s Euro 2016 squad. But that hasn’t stopped him from going the extra mile and employing devious tactics just to be sure.
