If ever I wanted a recommendation on what Netflix show to watch, I’d ask a footballer. There’s no other profession where rest and recovery are so important; outside of matches and the training ground, footballers are specifically instructed to do nothing — it’s pretty much the key to a long and successful career.
FIFA 19 is going on a world tour with stops in New York City, London, Paris, Rio de Janeiro and Dortmund, and the NYC visit featured a matchup between Odell Beckham Jr. (a three-time Pro Bowl receiver with the New York Giants) and Grammy nominated rapper A$AP Rocky.
Beckham, age 26, says he’s been playing since the 2001 version, meaning he’s been going at it since he was nine years old. Rocky, 30, doesn’t say how long he’s been playing FIFA, but it’s obvious that he’s taking quite a beating from the NFL star.
I’m sure you already know this, but we should all aim to be more like Shakira. Alongside Cristiano Ronaldo and Vin Diesel, she’s among the only three people on the planet to have amassed over 100 million Facebook followers, but that doesn’t stop her from going absolutely mental during El Clásico like the rest of us plebeians.

Bolt scored a brace in a practice match last weekend, and that viral moment was quickly followed by news of a two-year offer from Maltese club Valletta FC. Bolt, however, turned down that offer and will now be mulling the terms set forth by Central Coast Mariners.
After a dramatic 18-day search and rescue mission resulted in 12 members of the Wild Boars soccer team and their coach being saved from the Tham Luang cave complex back in July, the group has now made their first studio since the incident, appearing on “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” in Los Angeles.
In honor of Formula One driver Ayrton Senna — who was born in São Paulo, supported Corinthians and won three F1 world championships before dying in an accident at the ’94 San Marino Grand Prix — the Brazilian club has launched a third jersey which is stylistically based on black and gold car that Senna used while driving with the Lotus race team.
In lieu of a sponsor, the kit features Senna’s signature and 41 golden lines which represent the total number of Grand Prix victories that the driver recorded throughout his career. The result is absolutely stunning.
