We'll say this of Andy Gray, we admire the man's confidence. Gray was caught on live television pretending to translate a David Luiz interview from French. It was actually in Portuguese.

A stir was caused today by the pricing of Manchester United's away tickets for their Europa League game against Danish side FC Midtjylland, and the location of the tickets. One fan tweeted a picture of his seats. The picture seemed to show that he (and, presumably, his fellow United fans) was seated in some kind of giant cage.
What’s in a name?
For Nigerian-born striker Isaac Success, everything. But while the Granada CF star’s name – and personal style – are attracting attention, it is his play that has opened eyes and provided potential for a promising future.
In an interview with BT Sport, Rafa Benitez opened up about the complications of working under the high-pressure conditions at Real Madrid. Benitez was sacked after just seven months in charge of Los Blancos, despite losing just three times while at the helm.
"You have to do everything perfect," Benitez told Gary Lineker. "As soon as something is wrong, or the chairman thinks something is wrong, then you start having problems."
Alright class, pay attention because this is about to become very confusing stupid. Athletic Bilbao won the 1904 Copa del Rey tournament. Still with us? Good. They also happened to win it without playing a single game [insert record scratch here]. Not a single one. Not even a five-a-side in the park.
Aspiring goalies, pay attention: here's a lesson on what not to do with a soccer ball. If you think a keeper juggle is an appropriate soccer move, there may be no hope for you. Unless you are Rene Higuita. Lincoln City keeper Paul Farman should have already known trying to juggle was a bad idea. He did it anyway, and now he may never see the field again.
We're willing to bet that most of you out there chose to watch the PSG-Chelsea game over Benfica-Zenit. Allow us to show you the ridiculous backheel tackle that you missed.
That's one way to do it. Credit: abload.de
Shaq has a favorite soccer team, but which one?
Could it be Liverpool, which is partly owned by Shaq's former teammate LeBron James? Or could it be the Vancouver Whitecaps, partly owned by a different former teammate, Steve Nash? Or what about AC Milan, the team favored by Lakers partner in threepeat-dom, Kobe Bryant? Actually, scratch that. It's definitely not AC Milan. Tell me how my a** tastes, AC Milan.
Cristiano Ronaldo has not scored a goal away from Estadio Santiago Bernabeu in over two months. His last goal in a road game was on November 29, 2015, when he scored the final goal in a Real Madrid 2-0 against Eibar in Ipurua.
Coincidentally, that was also Los Blancos' last win as a visitor until two weeks ago, when, thanks to a Luka Modric goal, Real Madrid got a 2-1 win at Granada.
Cristiano Ronaldo is pretty good at soccer. Let's not forget that. That being said, Cristiano Ronaldo's form this season has led people to whisper about a "decline" at Real Madrid, which we think is pretty ridiculous. So, we decided to take a closer look.
