We’re not quite sure what prompted a side eye of such epic proportions from Manchester City midfielder Nigel de Jong whilst enteringthe Manchester Art Gallery in support of pal, Joleon Lescott, last night.
An overzealous paparazzo perhaps? A fashion crime in progress?
A taco truck?
As we are sure you must be aware by now, Livorno’s Piermario Morosini collapsed on the pitch on Saturday during his side’s Serie B game vs. Pescara. Despite efforts to revive him, he passed away.
At 25-years-old Morosini had already suffered terribly in his life, losing both his parents before he was eighteen and his disabled brother shortly after. At the time of his death he was on loan from Udinese, and Antonio Di Natale has confirmed that the club will take on responsibility for the financial and emotional care of Morosini’s sister, whom he supported in life.
Please join us in sending thoughts and prayers to her, and to Morosini’s friends and teammates at this most painful of times.
The oversights were flowing thick and fast at Kickette HQ this week.
Luckily, we mopped them up in this post. Cool, no?
Breaking news! Well. Not quite breaking, but this morning was the first time we heard about it, so it still counts, right?
The Swedish third tier’s official bundle of loveliness, Anton Hysén, has followed in the footsteps of Hope Solo and Robbie Savage by appearing on his country’s version of ‘Let’s Dance’. The defender made headlines last year when he became only the second professional player to come out, and from what we can gather he’s been having a blinding time ever since.
After enjoying his Jagger-like groove and chat with pro Helena Paparizou on the show, we happened to stumble on this footage of Anton on what looks to be the Swedish equivalent of ‘Total Wipeout’.
It was of interest to us because we love ‘Total Wipeout’. Not because he’s partially nude at 4:57 or anything.
Our mates over at PasseenProfondeur.fr came to us with some interesting awards-related news this afternoon, and we felt guilty about keeping it all to ourselves. In a totally unscientific and systematically corrupt survey, Karim Benzema beat out his fellow internationals – namely Alou Diarra and Hugo Lloris – by a slim 19% majority to be crowned the sexiest French NT player by FirstAffair.fr.
A swingers-friendly website. Yes, it’s true. Look it up yourselves if you don’t believe us, but don’t be alarmed by the cheesy, soft core porn photos destined for the cover of Danielle Steel’s next novel that may pop up along the way.
Congrats, Karim…? We think?
