Sit back, get comfortable and let 2 and a half minutes of Robert Lewandowski, Thiago Alcântara and Douglas Costa nonchalantly bringing a football under their spell wash over you.
These frankly ridiculous skills were caught during Bayern Munich training and were uploaded to their youtube account yesterday.
Look out for Lewandowski proving he has better dancing skills than you or I, even when he is balancing a ball on his head.
Today FIFA have announced the 10 nominees for the Puskas Award, a gong for the “most beautiful” goal of the year to be handed out during the Ballon d’Or ceremony in January.
Treasure the moment, because this is likely the only time of the year when FIFA will conduct a democratic vote from the people to suss out who should be rewarded for their labours. Instead of the usual FIFA practice of handing over prizes to whoever can stuff the most cash in Sepp Blatter’s deep pockets.
Drum roll…

Eat My Goal puts it’s weighty endorsement behind Carli Lloyd’s incredible effort. Lobbing home from the halfway line, for her hat-trick goal in a World Cup final. Surely that can’t be beat??
Last night, during Mexico’s semi-final against Nigeria in the Under 17’s World Cup, Diego Cortés scored a brilliant solo goal after leaving a host of defenders in his wake.
Unfortunately for Cortés, his effort would ultimately go unrewarded as Nigeria went on to win 4-2.
Nigeria head to the final where they will face Mali.
Speaking ahead of West Ham’s game against Everton on the weekend, manager Slaven Bilic was given a sign of how his team might fare over the coming weeks as his table collapsed before his very eyes.
Currently West Ham are sitting in 6th position in the creaky table.
Rapid Vienna picked up a 2-1 win over Viktoria Plzen in the Europa League last night thanks in part to Philipp Schobesberger.
In the kind of good fortune Steven Gerrard could only dream of, Schobesberger, baring down on goal gives the keeper the slip, stumbles over and accidentally slots the ball home.
With the release of his upcoming film on Monday, Cristiano Ronaldo has been doing the rounds to promote his vanity project.
When asked about the possibility of joining Man City in the future during a interview with the BBC, Ronaldo insisted it was about passion and not money now that he is 30 and has amassed a fortune.
Presuambly, now that he is 30 and it’s not about the money we can expect to see an end to this kind of absurdity?
Truly passionate stuff that.
Jordon Ibe scored his first ever Liverpool goal with a superbly slotted finish to secure an important 1-0 win away to Rubin Kazan in The Europa League.
As you’d expect, once the final whistle had gone, Jurgen Klopp keen to congratulate his match winner, gave Ibe a good squeeze.
Training with his West Ham United team mates looks a tad bit too easy for the flair of Dimitri Payet.
During a session ahed of West Ham’s weekend game against Everton, Payet shows some ridiculously quick feet to leave Victor Moses on his backside, while hulking defender James Collins was wise to realise he had no place in getting himself involved.
January bids at the ready!

Jurgen Klopp admitted during a press conference before Liverpool’s away fixture to Rubin Kazan in The Europa League that his previous comments regarding his ‘heavy-metal style football’ proves that he talks sh*t.
Hopefully, Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp will continue to talk ‘sh*t’, instead of the actual sh*t the majority of managers speak during their pressers.
