Cant remember who it was talking up Japanese football, but Japan got battered by Iraq today. Some call that!

They've got some nippy forwards but they're not very robust defenders.

Jordan Henderson has badly damaged his image – and that of the Saudi Pro League | Jonathan Wilson

By quitting the upstart league so soon, the former Liverpool captain has made a mockery of his principles and the wider project

Good ol' "Hendo" not getting the media protection anymore now that he isn't coasting in a great Liverpool team I see

Looking forward to him doing an interview in English with a heavy dutch accent aka Steve McClaren

>> Messy Messi <<
Leo beats CR7 again​

In the centre of Riyadh there's an insanely high-end cinema, at which some special screens are available only for private hire. Al-Nassr's Cristiano Ronaldo favours the screening room filled with mattresses, pillows and day beds, while Saudi tourism ambassador Lionel Messi loves the one with Arabic-style floor level seating (and shisha, though he doesn't indulge).

This isn't the only difference between them though. When CR7 and Georgina arrive, they are constantly surrounded by a phalanx of security guards who stand outside the room to ensure the stars have no contact whatsoever with any of the staff.

Leo and Antonella on the other hand wander in on their own, chat with everyone and make sure that everyone who wants a selfie gets one before the movie starts.

Last time they visited, they ordered in popcorn which Messi immediately dropped on the floor. Rather than pull any superstar nonsense, he simply apologised to the server, picked it up from the floor, put it all back in the box and then proceeded to eat it.

Gana has come off the bench in the Senegal - Cameroon game and just set up Mane, now its 3-1

Like the cinema the crown prince sheikh is lending to his* world cup winning captain isn't going to be spotless. Bet it's cleaner than most operating theatres. Bet the irony of that aint lost on journo's...
