February 20: Reporter Enquires “What Happened?” and Gets Answers Football never sleeps, so go viral. 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.

Dango Ouattara, you have to bow. In Saturday’s FA Cup penalty shootout triumph over Wolves, the Bournemouth winger scored one of the coolest penalties we’ll see all season.
Sam Johnstone, the custodian, was beaten before he could react after the second-half substitute simply slotted the ball past him without even running up. The co-commentator was taken aback by Ouattara’s penalty and exclaimed, “Wow. I can’t recall ever seeing something like that before. Most players wouldn’t dare do it during practice, but Ouattara, a Burkina Faso international, trusted himself and performed the odd move flawlessly.
March 2nd: Free Ticket Giveaway Caused by Lionel Messi’s Absence
The Houston Dynamo sent out a statement to its supporters.
After Lionel Messi was left off of Inter Miami’s roster for Sunday’s Major League Soccer matchup between the two teams, Houston Dynamo provided free tickets to supporters. Dynamo supporters will not be able to witness the eight-time Ballon d’Or winner in action after Inter Miami head coach Javier Mascherano gave the 37-year-old a break, allegedly because of fixture congestion.
Dynamo has responded by taking the unexpected move of giving fans free admission to a match later this season. The Houston Dynamo are thrilled to host Inter Miami CF at Shell Energy Stadium on Sunday night, according to their statement. Lionel Messi, the forward, was not listed in the newly released player status report for the game, although it has been rumoured that he did not travel to Houston. Regretfully, we are powerless to influence who plays for our opponent.
“We are excited to welcome everyone tomorrow for what promises to be an amazing football celebration for the city of Houston. Fans who attend tomorrow night’s game can receive a complimentary ticket to a future Dynamo game this season as a token of our gratitude. We’ll share more information early next week.
