I have a lot of good memories from the 2014 World Cup in Brazil, not that I was there. I had Tuesdays off back then, and so for two of the Tuesdays between June 12 and July 13 2014, I drank from noon until two in the morning. I danced the night away that night, among other things, and I like to think that, somehow, my moves were inspired by Colombia’s brilliant goal celebrations from that tournament. There is no way in actuality that they were, but hey, the spirit was there. 

If anyone thought that Brazil crashing out of a tournament that arguably doesn’t matter was going to kill Neymar’s Summer of Partying 2016, you were dead wrong.

Neymar has been hitting up the United states recently, hanging out with the likes of Justin Bieber and Jamie Foxx. 

Footage has surfaced of him partying at a Las Vegas pool, and it was every bit as over the top as you imagine. 

Neymar's acting career is reportedly off to a hot start while he waits his turn to represent Brazil this summer. The Brazil captain will evidently appear in the next xXx movie with Vin Diesel.

Wait, what? Like Vin Diesel the person? Not some copycat Vin Diesel look-alike? Oh, this is going to be grand.

We, for one, can't wait for xXx: State of the Selecao, or whatever it's called. Look at this Instagram post and tell us you're not excited for this.

This is Hafthor Bjornsson. Hafthor is a very big Icelandic man (More like Doublethor, am I right? Sorry, I couldn't resist). He spends most of his time doing this:

Apparently when you are young, rich, and famous, you hang out with other young, rich, and famous people. That’s what this video of Neymar juggling with Justin Bieber tells me. 

Ronaldinho is going to be a movie star. An action movie star. In a movie. With Mike Tyson in it. Apologies for the sentence fragments so far, but my brain has exploded. It's the best I can do, given the circumstances.

The circumstances, for those interested are that 'Dinho is going to be in a movie called Kickboxer: Retaliation alongside Mike Tyson, the dude who played "The Mountain" on Game of Thrones and Alain Moussi.

Leicester City’s Premier League title run has attracted the interest of fans and celebrities around the world. And it turns out one of them may have placed a £100 bet that could earn him £500,000 (or $729,185) should Leicester City win the title today.

For Brazil and the Olympics, it has often been a case of "always the bridesmaid, never the bride." Despite being runners-up in five competitions, the Brazilian team has never managed to win Olympic gold. Obviously, that's because Pele never got to play in the competition. Back in his day, professional players were not allowed to play in the Olympics, and so the Brazilian legend never got the chance to compete for the gold medal. 

Earlier this week internationally famous singing person Adele threw her support for the Premiership title behind Tottenham Hotspur.

That in and of itself is only sort of newsy, but The18 has learned that Adele's smash hit "Hello" was originally written about Spurs, and we've gotten hold of an exclusive (fake) copy of an early studio take, which we present to you here:

Adele: OK let's get started! Pip pip jiminy crumpets!
