Real Madrid reserve forward Jese has begun a music career with the release of his debut single "Yo Sabia." There is an accompanying music video. It features someone named (I swear to God) “De La Ghetto.”
Warning to discerning readers: there is a butt.
This is not a music video. This is a cry for help.
Former Chelsea and Newcastle United striker Demba Ba has suffered a horrific leg injury while playing with Shanghai Shenhua in the Chinese Super League. The Senegalese striker transferred from Turkish club Besiktas to Shanghai last summer for £11.3 million and is currently leading the CSL with 14 goals in 18 matches.
However, Ba’s career now appears to be in jeopardy after he suffered a gruesome injury following a challenge in a derby match between Shanghai Shenhua and Shanghai SIPG on Sunday.
The following video is certainly not for the faint of heart.
The legend himself, Ronaldinho, returned to action in the Premier Futsal 2016 tournament in India, and we're glad to say that he's still got it. Ronaldinho's Goa team may have lost 4-2 to Hernan Crespo and Kolkata to start the tournament, but there was still plenty to smile about as Dinho provided some moments of pure class.
Eric Cantona would like a word with Cristiano Ronaldo, recent winner of Euro 2016 and haver-of-a-moth-landing-on-his-face-while-he's-crying. Several words, in fact.
Cantona has finally discovered his post-playing destiny as an eccentric salty old guy yelling at youths and generally being tough and weird. It's like when that guy from "Mail Call" started appearing in Geico commercials.
NFL franchise the Minnesota Vikings had a little bit of fun with Chelsea FC this week, as they challenged the club to a so-called "football vs. football" challenge. The challenge comes as Chelsea prepare to face A.C. Milan at the new U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis on August 3. It will be the first event to take place at the new facility.
An interesting 18th week in the MLS had some own goals, a goal saving handball (great stuff FC Dallas), an extraordinary hat trick by Clint Dempsey (goal, assist and a red card), and a preposterous banger courtesy of Cristian Techera. Fresh off of a 1-0 lead, Vancouver took advantage of another chance just minutes later to put the game out of reach. A failed freekick attempt led to a ball bouncing back out of the box where Techera received a pass to then take his chances with the ball on his left foot.
Ramires is heated in China. We do not know what happened before this video started rolling, all we know is he got a red card and now he is super heated at this referee, so heated that it takes like every other player on his team to keep him from assaulting this ref.

France lost the Euro 2016 final in their national team's home stadium to a team missing its only truly world-class player. If only there was some object that could perfectly capture what that moment was like.
Hmm...France seem pretty confident! #Euro2016Final pic.twitter.com/WDw31qYRRN
Sunday's European Championship final was overshadowed in part by an injury to Cristiano Ronaldo, which was overshadowed in part by the appearance of a moth.
Allegedly because of safety reasons, the floodlights were left on at the Stade de France the night before the game, which resulted in a moth infestation, which resulted in a moth landing on Ronaldo's face as he came to terms that his Euro 2016 race was run.
Digeo Simeone, the manager of Atletico Madrid, has summed up his coaching philosophy in one brief sentence: “Effort is non-negotiable.”
Simeone puts so much emphasis on the collective at Atletico that he's forbidden small, divided tables during meals, forcing his squad to sit at one vast table "face to face".
