Let me be the first to say, the planned facility looks absolutely ridiculous. I'll refrain from dumping on it more and just post the photos.

Sure, there was the obvious financial incentive of a two-and-a-half-year, $150 million contract, but Beckham convinced Messi, arguably the world's greatest soccer player ever, to view the opportunity as being more than just about the money.Beckham described it as a "gift" — with the ultimate present coming in the form of a World Cup title for the United States men's national t…

Roy Keane to replace Erik ten Hag anyone? The Manchester United legend s former teammate Giuseppe Rossi thinks it could be a great situation . He may well be alone in that.
Ten Hag has been under pressure at Old Trafford all season, and doubts over his future grew after the FA Cup semi-final.
