LAFC, who will join MLS in 2018, broke ground on the newly named Banc of California Stadium on Tuesday and they entrusted part-owner Will Ferrell to operate an excavator. Thankfully, no one was killed.

LAFC part-owner Will Ferrell visited with Leicester City during their summer tour of the U.S., giving him an opportunity to show some skills that would fit right in with the Italian national team.
Defender Christian Fuchs acted as goalkeeper against Ferrell’s penalty attempts. He didn’t have to do much on the first two, but on the third, Ferrell used the initial save as a distraction so he could throw a second ball into the open net.
A preview of what’s to come from LAFC, surely.
LAFC are set to join MLS in 2018, but until now, all they had were roughly eight million celebrity part-owners. All that has changed, however, as they have unveiled a rather gorgeous crest and Will Ferrell as celebrity part-owner No. eight million and one.

At the end of a manic acceptance speech upon being named Comedian of the Year at the GQ Awards in London, Will Ferrell called out Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho and urged him to “Keep playing defense, man. Keep playing defense.”
“Seven guys in the box — I love it,” Ferrell joked.
Mourinho was the recipient of the GQ Editor’s Special Award, because obviously. Here you can see how thrilled he was to be there…
