March 3rd: Vinicius Junior Explains Who Made the Choice to Refuse the Ballon d’Or
Football never sleeps, and on March 3rd, Fowler declines to sign a little fan’s Man United shirt. Somewhere in the world, someone is engaged in some aspect of the beautiful game during each of the 86400 seconds that make up a 24-hour day. This might be anything from booting a ball against a wall with friends to sharing their expert analysis on social media or winning a high-profile match at the last minute.


Since no human can possibly keep up with everything that happens during a game, football is often made great by the small but fascinating moments, such as a fan’s alternate perspective on a penalty save, a three-second but incredibly telling exchange between two bitter rivals, or a thread on X that explains why N’Golo Kante is the nicest man in professional sports.



In order to address that issue, GIVEMESPORT developed our live blog, which offers the best social media features available along with the best football mini-stories from the previous day.



March 14: Peter Crouch Gets Rid of Pricey The Cheltenham Bet
The retired striker had to spend nearly £8,000 on 1,000 Guinness drinks.



After losing a pricey wager at the Cheltenham Festival on Thursday, Peter Crouch was obliged to pay out over £8,000. According to talkSPORT, bookmaker Paddy Power said, “Basically, after the Stayer’s Hurdle, Crouchy or I will be purchasing 1,000 pints of Guinness.” “I’m buying the drinks if an English horse wins, and Crouchy is buying the pints if an Irish horse wins. I believe I defeated this one.”


Crouch, a former England player, stated: “Isn’t that just ridiculous? In addition, I know very little about horse racing. I looked at it when I woke up and said, ‘We ain’t got any chance,’ but now Power has stepped it up.”

Unfortunately for Crouchy, the Henry De Bromhead-trained Bob Olinger won the Grade 1 race, and Paddy Power emerged victorious. This meant that the 44-year-old retired striker had to spend a staggering £7,800 to buy 1000 Guinness for the gamblers. Aww.

Jude Bellingham’s impassioned response to Vinicius Junior’s work rate on March 13
The Englishman was dissatisfied with his teammates’ performance against Atletico Madrid in extra time.

Video has surfaced showing Jude Bellingham yelling at teammate Vinicius Junior during Wednesday night’s second leg of Real Madrid’s Champions League round of 16 matchup with local rivals Atletico. After losing by a goal to zero over the 120 minutes, Los Blancos advanced to the round of eight after a contentious penalty shootout.

Naturally, players started to get tired as the game went into extra time, and both sides’ work ethic and calibre started to decline. But Bellingham, who was still pushing himself about in the extra time, managed to spare Vinicius’ blushes with a lung-busting tackle.

The Englishman made an amazing sliding challenge while his partner was still getting up after the Brazilian was knocked off the ball way too easily and took a long time to get back up. As he and other Carlo Ancelotti bench members chastised the forward for his lack of effort, Bellingham was seen yelling at the Madrid number seven in retaliation.

March 13: Vinicius Junior Dresses Atletico Madrid Injuries with Salt
After the Champions League match, a Real Madrid player’s tweet goes viral.

On Wednesday night, following Real Madrid’s contentious Champions League Round of 16 victory, Vinicius Junior added salt to Atletico Madrid’s wounds. After a penalty shootout in which VAR stepped in and disallowed Julian Alvarez’s converted penalty after the Atletico striker accidentally struck the ball twice, Vini and his Los Blancos teammates advanced to the quarterfinals.

After the game, Vinicius, who scored a penalty kick over the ball during regular time and was replaced by Endrick in the 115th minute, wrote on X (Twitter): “Oh my god!!!” MADRID IS ONE AND ONLY ONE! But everyone is aware of that. Let’s do better the next time. The Brazilian also addressed the Atletico Madrid supporters who were jeering at him when he was substituted, pointing out that Real Madrid has won the European Cup fifteen times whereas Atleti has won none.

12th March: Salah’s Eye-Opening Reaction to Nunez’s Penalty Miss

Van Dijk, Gakpo and Endo were quick to console the striker

Although the penalties from Paris Saint-Germain were flawless, Darwin Nunez and Curtis Jones of Liverpool both missed, and the French team advanced to the quarterfinals of the Champions League to face either Club Brugge or Aston Villa. Nunez was the first player to miss for the home team, giving their opponents the advantage with a tame effort that Gianluigi Donnarumma comfortably saved.

Kickstarting his team’s loss hasn’t helped the Uruguayan’s reputation among the Anfield supporters, especially because Mohamed Salah ignored him entirely when he returned after his miss. The 25-year-old, who naturally looked irritated, was quickly comforted by players like Wataru Endo, Cody Gakpo, and Virgil van Dijk. But in the shocking video, Salah remained on the half-line.

March 12: Viewers Respond to Trent’s Injury Reaction Video Against PSG
“Just when we most need him.”

The release of video showing Trent Alexander-Arnold’s response to his injury has devastated Liverpool fans. The Englishman appeared to have twisted his ankle during the second half of his team’s final defeat to Paris Saint-Germain.

The right-back was substituted for Jarell Quansah after his ankle twisted in a strange way while he was trying to make a tackle. Alexander-Arnold can be seen slashing a distressed figure on the ground in footage of his response that has been made public.

The 26-year-old, who is linked to Real Madrid, writhed in agony before pulling his shirt over his head to await medical attention. Fans have expressed their dissatisfaction on X (previously Twitter). One Liverpool supporter hinted that his vital presence would be missed on the team’s next schedule. They penned:

I’m sorry to see this. When Trent was hurt against PSG, he was devastated. The most important games are still to come, so we need him the most right now.”

A last supporter expressed hope that it would not be Hughes’ last appearance for the team due to worries over his future, saying, “If this is the last we see of Trent, there should be riots to get Hughes out of that football club.” “I sincerely hope that Trent wearing a Liverpool shirt won’t be seen again.”

March 10: Rasmus Hojlund’s video following Manchester United’s 1-1 draw with Arsenal
Outside Old Trafford, Peter Schmeichel was captured on camera conversing with an unproductive striker.

Following Sunday’s 1-1 draw with Arsenal, Rasmus Hojlund was caught on camera chatting with club veteran Peter Schmeichel outside Old Trafford. Supporters of Manchester United have voiced their sympathies for the struggling striker. After failing to score in Sunday’s Premier League match, the 22-year-old center-forward, who signed a £72 million contract with United from Atalanta in August 2023, has now gone 20 games without a goal.

Hojlund, who was added as a substitute by Ruben Amorim, played the last fifteen minutes but failed to score again. In the aftermath of the game, Schmeichel seemed to be encouraging the Denmark international. However, United supporters couldn’t help but notice his depressed appearance. “I feel awful for him,” one supporter remarked on X (Twitter), while another added, “The lad looks shot.” “The guy is broken,” a third person remarked, while a fourth person added, “I feel for him, honestly.”

Mr. Beast ‘Airs’ Emile Heskey on March 9th
An awkward scene following a Sidemen charity match sparks controversy

After Saturday’s Sidemen charity match at Wembley, YouTube sensation Mr Beast has come under fire for ‘airing’ former Premier League striker Emile Heskey as he accepted his medal. The 26-year-old American shook hands with referee Mark Clattenburg and even gave the official one of his Feastables chocolates. His YouTube channel has the most subscribers (371 million) on the platform.

Heskey was left hanging after patiently waiting to shake hands with the YouTube sensation. Heskey’s response indicated that he was left perplexed by the incident as Mr Beast presented his medal to the audience and left. Heskey was a part of the commentary channel for the Sidemen vs. YouTube All-Stars game at Wembley, which earned more than £4 million for charity and finished in a 9-9 draw.

March 8: Cristiano Ronaldo Completely Devastates His Replica
The Portuguese celebrity’s response went viral right away.

The most recognisable football player in the world right now is Cristiano Ronaldo. With millions of devoted admirers following his career, the Portuguese legend is well-known throughout the world. It takes courage to call oneself a Ronaldo “lookalike,” and one fan’s attempt at doing so didn’t go so well.

Prior to CR7 playing for Al-Nassr against Al-Shabab in Saudi Pro League action, video showed his response to the ‘lookalike’. Ronaldo was seen teasingly yelling at the supporter during his pregame warm-up: “You don’t look like me, you’re very ugly.” brutal.

The age-defying superstar then scored his 463rd goal since turning 30, demonstrating that no one is quite like him. Prior to that historic birthday, he had managed as many strikes.
