Douglas Luiz slams TV journalist for objectifying his girlfriend, soccer player Alisha Lehmann

Defensive midfielder Douglas Luiz came metaphorically studs up on social media after a famous Brazilian TV journalist shared a disrespectful post on Twitter objectifying Aston Villa Women FC star Alisha Lehmann, who is also Luiz's girlfriend.

Milton Neves, a 71-year-old presenter, tweeted a clip of Lehmann celebrating a goal a la Cristiano Ronaldo, but in slow-motion and with the camera focusing on the player's derrière. As if that wasn't bad enough, Neves captioned the sequence with the phrase: "Without rewinding the video, what number was on her shirt?"

"Arruina la fiesta": Revelan berrinche del Chucky Lozano tras victoria del Napoli

Hirving Lozano no la pasa del todo bien en el Napoli. El Chucky está lejos de ser el favorito entre los aficionados del club, ha ido perdiendo terreno en el once inicial y este fin de semana incluso terminó siendo el punto negro en la victoria 2-1 sobre el AC Milan, la cual dejó al equipo como uno de los líderes de la Serie A.

La Jugada Del Clásico: ¿Gol No Cobrado A Chivas O Atajadón De Memo Ochoa?

El Clásico Nacional se tiño de amarillo. América venció a Chivas 2-1 en el Estadio Azteca, en un duelo que dejó un par de buenas discusiones. ¿La más acalorada de todas? Un cabezazo de Sergio Flores que Guillermo Ochoa sacó de la línea con un guantazo milagroso.

Millions of Chileans are gearing up for an Independence Day weekend full of celebrations. Choripanes, grilled meat and empanadas will be part of the menu, as well as bottles and bottles of red wine — mostly cabernet sauvignons, merlots and carménères — which will come in handy to swallow the devasting news coming from FIFA headquarters in Zurich, Switzerland.
