Mario Balotelli missed the first two minutes of Nice vs. Nantes because his shoes were too tight. I'll admit, I thought a video titled "Balotelli suffers bizarre wardrobe malfunction" would be a lot more interesting. Still, we much take what we can get.

Twenty-two-year-old striker Mohammed Anas went from hero to zero in a matter of moments this weekend, at least in the eyes of his wife. After scooping the Man of the Match award in a South African ABSA Premiership match, the forward from Ghana took a moment to thank those who’ve helped him achieve such a feat: his wife and his girlfriend.
Anas tries to recover, but the mistake has already been made and you can see the euphoria quickly turn to dread. He might’ve won an award, but he might’ve lost either his wife, his girlfriend or both.
