Virgil Van Dijk Is The Ballon D'Or Winner This Game Needs

Liverpool fans are on a good one right now coming off a Champions League title, so morale is great. And team morale will no doubt be in good hands as long as Virgil van Dijk is around.

  

The best defender in the game was caught on Liverpool’s Instagram story showing much love to his teammate Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain. The video had roast potential with Van Dijk approaching Ox, who was signing dozens of Liverpool jerseys, and saying that Ox is always late.

Harry Kane Scores From Halfway Line To Beat Juventus In 93rd Minute

Well, what do we do now? Instead of, as the old saying goes, saving some for the real games, Harry Kane went and used up all the insane, last-second, match-winning goals from the halfway line allotted to us for the 2019-20 season during an International Champions Cup match in Singapore today.

Tottenham defeated Juventus 3-2 at the National Stadium thanks to Kane’s hammer drop in the 93rd minute, leaving Wojciech Szczesny buried in the net and giving Matthijs de Ligt an excellent memory on his debut for the Old Lady.

Pulisic's Early Chelsea Days: Scoring Goals, Learning From Lamps And Stretching With David Luiz

True to his word, Christian Pulisic began training with Chelsea FC on Tuesday, July 16, just nine days after the USMNT’s defeat to Mexico in the Gold Cup final. His decision to join-up with the squad in lieu of an extended holiday break earned praise from Blues boss Frank Lampard, and he now has three full training sessions under his belt following today’s open practice in Yokohama, Japan.

If you don’t believe me, just look at his feet.
