Cristiano Ronaldo Embarrasses Himself With Juventus Initiation Song But We Love It Anyway

No one — we repeat, no one — is immune to initiation rites in soccer. Not a 40-year-old legend of the game and not even one of the best players of all time. Although after watching the Cristiano Ronaldo initiation song with Juventus, maybe these embarrassing displays need to stop — for the children.

Earlier this month, Gianluigi Buffon was seen belting out a glorious song for his PSG initiation rites. He earned a rousing ovation from his new teammates.

Feel Your Cold, Dead Heart Unthaw As Loris Karius Receives A Standing Ovation At Anfield

To say Liverpool goalkeeper Loris Karius has had a rough go of things in the past few months would be a grand understatement.

Things got so bad that Liverpool police were forced to investigate death threats made against the shot-stopper in the days after the performance.

Completing The “Balotelli Challenge” Is Now Going To Take Up Too Much Of Your Time

For clarification, the Balotelli Challenge does not refer to a competition in which you try to piss your coaches and teammates off with questionable behavior on and off the pitch. Nor does it mean trying a fancy finish when you’re clear on goal or wielding goal celebrations that are nearly obnoxious enough to get you punched in the mouth. Ah, enough I suppose. Mario Balotelli has been through the ringer these past few years.
