No one — we repeat, no one — is immune to initiation rites in soccer. Not a 40-year-old legend of the game and not even one of the best players of all time. Although after watching the Cristiano Ronaldo initiation song with Juventus, maybe these embarrassing displays need to stop — for the children.

Earlier this month, Gianluigi Buffon was seen belting out a glorious song for his PSG initiation rites. He earned a rousing ovation from his new teammates.

Yeovil Town striker Diallang Jaiyesimi, on loan from EFL Championship side Norwich City, thought he had put his team 1-0 up against Championship heavyweight Aston Villa in the first round of the Carabao Cup on Tuesday night.

You've seen Antoine Griezmann balling out this summer on the basketball court, now the cross-sport challenge has gone the other way as Philadelphia 76ers star Joel Embiid showed what he can do with the ball at his feet while visiting his home of Cameroon.

With the new Premier League season kicking off, predictions have been coming in thick and fast, but none as good as ours.

We’ve decided to spice things up a little bit and thought what better way to show how a team will perform than by picking a song that perfectly defines the season.

Sit back, relax and enjoy...or not (depending on who you support).

Who’s ready to watch some Premier League?! Who’s ready to play a drinking game while watching the Premier League?! You are! (If you're looking for a little Premier League preview, look no further than here)

When most mere mortals are out playing in the streets, they’ll casually yell something like “Pogba!” or “Ronaldo!” when completing some audacious pass or string of step-overs. But if you, like me, are invincible and legend, you’ll scream “Zusi!” or “Andy Carroll!” or “wee Joe Allen!” when you get stuck in or while you're riding the pine. These are proper footballers, conjoined by one common thread: They all have spectacular man buns (Zusi used to, but now he’s a giant fraud).
