The Champions League group stages are a joy for any football, futbol, and soccer fan alike because it means double the games during the week to watch your favorite club compete in Europe. Plus, it’s not everyday that Juventus, Manchester United, or Paris St. Germain come through town for a match. 

Yet, the sky blue in the north of England must have missed the memo about City’s match against Juventus in the first group stage match of the year. The expanding Etihad Stadium that is soon to house over 60,000 spectators was having trouble selling out the stadium. 

In case you missed it, this kid juggled a soccer ball while solving a Rubik's Cube. 

We are not here to talk about Rubik's Cubes, though. We are here to talk about the saxophone, specifically "Careless Whisper," by George Michael. This kid can apparently play "Careless Whisper" while juggling a soccer ball.

A rose ceremony is a thing in certain Americcan reality TV shows in which a hunky rich guy gives flowers to hot girls, save one, in order to narrow them down to one special hot girl whom he will eventually divorce and everyone will totally see it coming.

This guy knows how to take pride in the little things fairly long things.  

Who do you think is better at kicking something, Carli Lloyd or Vince Wilfork?

The producers of HBO show "Hard Knocks" endeavored to find out the answer by having the World Cup Golden Ball winner take on the All-Pro defensive tackle in a friendly field goal-kicking contest. 

We won't spoil the ending, but we will say that Wilfork, who it can be assumed has far less kicking things experience than Lloyd impressed with his kicking things ablility.

We should have know this, though, because Vince Wilfork is always loose. He said so himself.

I can’t imagine what kind of frustrations referees have on a weekly basis: players are always giving them grief, managers always disagree and literally entire crowds end up hating them on a routine basis. If we are all supposed to fear the wrath of a quiet man, then a referee going off the deep end is just about the most terrifying thing I can imagine. And thanks to this La Liga official, I don’t have to imagine that hard anymore.
