It's nice to know Manchester City striker Aguero gets upset about missing a goal in FIFA almost exactly as he does in real life.
Points for accuracy, EA Sports.
Aguero reacted the same way as his FIFA character after missing 🤣

Of course, it probably goes without saying that Juventus star Ronaldo is still working out.
The reverse Ronaldo

A baseball cap and a little too long in the sun gave Twitter user Roy Thomas a case of the reverse Ronaldos.
The legendary Brazilian striker made his own choice to create this haircut back in 2002 and later revealed it was so people would forget about a leg injury he was carrying at the World Cup.
"Everybody was talking about the hair and forgot about the injury," he said. "I could stay more calm and relaxed and focused on my training. I'm not proud about the hair itself because it was pretty strange. But it was a good way to change the subject."
Any niggles you need to distract from, Roy? Now is the time.
