Amazing

I gotta say, today was turning into a pretty standard Thursday.

Ronaldinho is playing in the Indian Premier Futsal League, and he is doing about what you would expect to some beleaguered Indian futsallers.

Because we all know FIFA is the most democratic and fair institutions in the world, soccer’s governing body lets you, the fans, vote every year for the most aesthetically pleasing goal scored each season. FIFA released its 2016-17 FIFA Puskás Award nominees chosen by a panel of "experts" on Friday and it’s time to vote.

Unfortunately, because FIFA doesn't believe in fair play, you have to go to YouTube to watch the nominees instead of just viewing them on our wonderful website. So check them out here.

As well as being a great football simulation, FIFA continuously promises and delivers on another now-legendary feature: its soundtrack. Painstakingly curated and providing both certified bangers and as-yet undiscovered gems, the FIFA soundtrack will annually provide you with five to six songs that will become a part of your life forever.

As the best player in the world, he constantly finds himself surrounded by three to five members of the other team who have no qualms about getting all up in his personal space.

To illustrate just how good Messi is at navigating very small spaces, here's eight minutes of Messi doing exactly that.

“Holy shit! You can’t draw a line between a Real Madrid player and a Barcelona player! You know nothing, Connor Fleming!”

AS Monaco is a bit of an enigma. A French club not actually in France, Monaco’s rebirth dating back to 2011 has taken the club from the bottom of Ligue 2 to the top of Ligue 1, from one extreme of the transfer market to the other.
