We have to hand it to Cristiano Ronaldo, he's much braver than us.

Soccer players have a long and proud history of looking like they should be in boy bands, and the current best player in the world is carrying on the tradition like a champ. Look at what this dude Lionel Messi did to his hair.
This La Liga season promises to be a hugely entertaining one, as the Spanish first division boasts three of the best club teams in the world, and also possibly the smelliest. CD Leganes, recently promoted to the first division for the first time ever, will introduce themselves to the world's top teams with a kit that features a scratch 'n sniff badge. Really.
We promise we are not making this up. They made a video about it and everything.
Riyad Mahrez scored a brilliant goal for Leicester City during their preseason friendly against Celtic, but Arsenal are reportedly set to sign the 25-year-old Algerian in the upcoming days.
The International Champions Cup (ICC) is upon us! While the safe money is on Leicester City to win the competition which “revolutionized the international soccer landscape”, Australia’s Melbourne Victory and Italy’s Juventus took to the Melbourne Cricket Ground to stake their own claims on winning the competition’s historic fourth edition.
No one told Carlos Blanco that it was a meaningless preseason game — the guy apparently lives for the ICC.
