There is going to be a movie about FIFA.
No, not that godawful United Passions movie, which we here at the18.com couldn’t stand either. This film is about the corruption scandal.
Teaming up to make the film will be Hollywood A-Listers Ben Affleck and Matt Damon, along with Entertainment 360’s Guymon Casady and Darin Friedman. A writer and director are attached as well.
David Beckham and Zinedine Zidane played together at Real Madrid as Galacticos, and it appears that time has carried over into a nice friendship after both international superstars' careers have ended.
June 23 was Zidane's birthday, and Beckham didn't miss an opportunity to pay his respects to his old friend, posting a nice message on Instagram. You probably don't want to hear me talk anymore, or you just skipped this part and went straight to the Instagram post. I don't blame you. David Beckham is admittedly more interesting than me.
Look at this picture. LOOK AT IT.
Joe Hart and 50 Cent are homies? Please name a more unlikely pairing than this that actually exists? Do they have common interests? What do Joe Hart and 50 Cent talk about?
Fifty: "I got shot nine times."
Joe: "I am scared of baseballs."
It doesn't make any sense, but that is why I love it. Hopefully Joe Hart and 50 Cent's burgeoning bromance can continue. For all of us.
After the final whistle blew in Berlin, millions of Barcelona fans around the world celebrated their fourth Champions League win in the club's history. As those fans overflowed the teams website to purchase champions scarves, t-shirts, and posters, Gerard Pique took a souvenir of his own from the pitch that is simply priceless.
The new FIFA 16 trailer is out, and it features a very special narrator: Pele. Pele, for those of you who don't know (and maybe found this site by accident, since it's all about soccer?) is the best player of all time.
Pele muses about the beauty of the beautiful game, and we get some shots of FIFA gameplay showing that beauty, like Messi scoring an amazing goal and Diego Costa getting into a shoving match with Jordan Henderson.
Will the real FIFA 16 be filled with as much beauty as this trailer? Only Pele knows.
John Oliver made a promise to FIFA sponsors Adidas, McDonald's and Budweiser: if Sepp Blatter resigned, Oliver would wear a pair of ridiculous Adidas shoes, take a bite out of every item on the McDonald's dollar menu and drink a Bud Light Lime and say it was delicious.
John Oliver, evidently, is a man of his word, because he did all of those things, even chugging the whole Bud Light Lime while the studio audience cheered him on.
John Oliver and Jack Warner have been putting on quite the show lately. Warner, you'll recall, is the former CONCACAF head and FIFA executive vice-president who is accused of taking a $10 million bribe, and has claimed he has documents that will make the s***hammer come down on FIFA's head. Warner bragged about these documents on Trinidad and Tobagan TV, so John Oliver bought airtime on the same TV station to ask Warner to release the documents.
Just after making a video asking the media to "leave him alone," Cristiano Ronaldo is starring in a new video game called "Super Stars" in which he skateboards away from the media. Ronaldo is joined by a midget-Crash-Bandicoot-looking-thing called Hugo the Troll. Hugo the Troll also skateboards. The villain in this game, who stands in for all of the media, is named Paparazzi Pete. Paparazzi Pete drives a moped while trying to take pictures of Ronaldo.
Oh, to be a superstar. The fame, the wealth, the glorious, glorious nights out on the town. Who knows who you might run into from the world of the rich and powerful? You might knock a few back with Will Farrell. You could brag about your greatest athletic accomplishment with Lebron. You could make James Earl Jones laugh and at the classiest place in the city, and then sit back and bask as the rich vibrations of his chuckle just warms up the room. You could even fall in love!
