Zlatan Dismisses Ronaldo’s Juventus Move As Elementary ‘Bullshit’

How Does A 31-Year-Old Messi Compare To Other Legends At That Age?

The debate as to which footballer, at the height of their powers, reigned supreme will rage until the end of time. Pelé as a teenager? Diego Maradona at 26? O Fenômeno at 21? Take your pick and you’ll find more than enough evidence to support your claim.

Luis Suarez Scores The Kinda Goal That Makes You Very, Very Happy To Be Alive
