I'm going to go ahead and assume Zidane junior will be putting a bunch of poo poo english cloggers to shame in a few year's time, but who were the last father and son to both be properly good players at the top level? The Maldinis? Lampard and son maybe? Kasper Schmeichel is alright as well I suppose but I'm sure there's a really obvious one I'm forgetting

Wasn't Eidur Gudjohnsen subbed on for his father for his first Iceland appearance?

I think Eidur was really young and his dad was ancient, but still.

the most bizarre part is people cheering on the fire while supporters burn in front of them.

Well tbf to them it doesn't seem like anyone is going to be hurt at first. it just looks like a crazy fire. Then burning people start spilling out of the place.

I'm really confused, the parentheses are basically the entire point.

Roman doesn't want visibility, he wants privacy. He doesn't do interviews, blog or tweet. He doesn't appear at red carpet events nor does he hang out with celebs or royalty. That Roman bought Chelsea as a hedge against Putin betraying him ridiculous.

And the guy suggested that Qatar and Abu Dhabi bought football clubs in case things go down between Israel and Iran. He's a complete idiot.

I think the point he was trying to make is that Roman probably was motivated to buy Chelsea at least in part by a desire to get massive amounts of assets out of Russia. An oligarch who's out of Putin's favor in Russia is in a precarious position w/r/t his assets at least. The problem is that he says it was only a political move, and that's obviously not right.

I do agree that buying clubs like PSG, City, and Chelsea were good PR for Qatar, Abu Dabi, and Roman respectively, and I would wager they all considered it in buying their clubs. Let's not forget that Abramovich is shady as gently caress, and it improves his image to be thought of as a guy who throws money at a football team in addition to being thought of as a shady Russian oligarch.

Not only is he old but as with most Nigerian players nobody knows their ages for sure as they lie about it when they get to Europe with the aid of the Nigerian FA and government, so the joke is that 9/11/17 might as well be his real birth date for all we know, google it. Or maybe the joke was just that he's old in which case it does not get my "haha" seal of approval as previously conceded.

What's funnier is that he's only listed as 29 now. If someone could dig up a picture of him in his first couple years when he claimed to be 16 or whatever I I would appreciate it for the lols. I couldn't find it with a cursory GIS.

I read that it was some sort of GPS tracking device. I thought: why don't they use that small thing to put in your shoes, Nike+Run or whatever. Makes more sense if it also tracks the heartrate etc. Still looks ridiculous :)

I'm pretty sure they use these GPS thingies because they also track where you go on the pitch so they can analyze it afterwards.
