Former Inter Milan striker Adriano, who has been without a club since leaving Corinthians in 2012, has expressed a desire to return to competitive football in Italy.

While Carles Puyol will be staying at Barcelona after being appointed as an assistant to the sports management team at the Nou Camp. The 36-year-old retired at the end of the season due to a spell of persistent knee problems following 15 years at the heart of a defence which won 21 trophies including six Primera Divisions and three UEFA Champions League titles.

Well well. Someone’s been sayin’ their prayers and takin’ their vitamins!
As spotted by the good folks over at Eurosport Germany, it looks like ex-Werder Bremen and Germany goalkeeper Tim Wiese has been filling the time since Hoffenheim released him in January focusing solely on turning himself into a wall of tattooed meat.
Wiese, who started looking a little “bulkier” last summer, has obviously spent the last ten months wailing on his lats, delts, nards, flubes and glutes, etc, and now looks like this…


“Ooooooh yeah!”
Looks like that UFC career is finally a reality…
That is insane amount of growth in 10 months...except with riods

Tim Wiese looks like a freak up there.

While the FA have confirmed Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain sustained a medial knee ligament injury in Wednesday's game with Ecuador.

AC Milan are set to conclude a deal for Paris Saint Germain defender Alex.

    The cross gen era really made people think 60fps would be a new standard lol

    Welp, done with Hellblade 2. Thoroughly disappointed. Such a nothing burger after the unique experience of the first game.

    I have a PS5 but I am not satisfied with the experience. I am currently saving for a 4080 64 GB rig soon. Bit will wait for Pro if performance improves. This gen has been so bad I don't plan on buying consoles anymore for AAA gaming.

    As per WCCF Tech review, Xbox Series X doesn't even maintain a consistent FPS and sometimes drops into the mid-20fps range. That's unacceptable, tbh.

    Gradually transitioning from console gaming to PC as the games are not worth it. 6 hours of Hellblade 2 is just not worth the $50 price tag.
    Score 1 for game pass. I wouldn't pay full price for this at retail either.

    Just downloaded my first legit digital PC game on GoG at a discount of $8: Two Point Hospital. The same team behind Theme Hospital Two Point Studios now part of Sega. And I am having more fun than most recent AAA games except of course BG3.

    Still, I don't like either Sony or Microsoft as they are focusing more on corporate greed than delighting customers. PC gaming is best of gaming and worth every penny.

    PC Gamer score of 58/100 for Hellblade 2??? Is it really worse than Gollum that was 64/100? Microsoft games can't even come close to high scores of Sony exclusives apparently.

    About the Microsoft (and Sony) debate, I feel both have become too greedy and losing their minds over corporate greed. Personally, I will never buy any console next gen and switch to PC gaming where democracy reins.
