Wow! I found that very moving. Thanks for posting.

Wow! was the also the first thing to come out of my mouth too. A bit of dust in the eyes, must be the pollen.
This grandfather is right, “Focus, eh? Focus, boy.” When he's focused he's a fantastic player.

Thanks for sharing, SaddVillan.

We seem blessed to not just have a squad full of excellent players but a squad full of excellent people.

Articles like that are exactly why I like the guy so much, he's got a great attitude and is exactly the sort of person you'd want to have around talking to young players.

And a big fuck you to that coach in Belgium, what a wanker.

Indeed. I’m glad Onana has called the fucker out.

That video of him laughing and saying 'no sleeping tonight' was wonderful after the final.
