Jamie Carragher and Gary Neville were the best of enemies when they played for Liverpool and Manchester United, respectively.
Now, though, they've been forced to team up in FIFA 16 Ultimate Team. It was, uh, interesting.
Can the next one please be Arsene Wenger and Jose Mourinho trying to coexist?
Ever wondered what soccer will look like in the year 3000? Well, you're in luck, because one Reddit user decided to find out, using the popular computer game Football Manager.

We didn't know Arsenal's Olivier Giroud was into professional wrestling, until we watched this video of a glitch in FIFA 15 that clearly shows Giroud using Randy Orton's finishing move, the Randy Knock Out (or RKO) on an unsuspecting defender after a goal.

He's friendly, gregarious even, but he gives off a subtle intensity, which loses its subtlety when he steps in front of a soccer goal. That's his territory, where he's made his living in MLS since 2000 with (now defunct) Miami Fusion, D.C. United and Real Salt Lake. At 36, he's an MLS lifer at this point.
Harry begins signing autographs at the south end of Dick’s Sporting Goods Park. He does what looks like a TV interview first, then starts at the beginning of the throng of people lined up to take a picture of him or have him sign something. The crowd stretches from the southwest end of the stadium, where Harry is, to the middle of the north end, where Harry will be. Eventually.
Last year, Manchester United and Adidas made waves when they announced a world-record kit deal, valued at a reported $1.3 billion over 10 years – $128 million per year to be precise. This came after a 13-year stretch with Nike as Manchester United's kit sponsor. That deal was worth an estimated $40 million per year, pittance compared to the new 10-year contract with Adidas.
