Ronaldo's son nervously walking up to shake Messi's hand and Ronaldo then telling him he loves watching videos of him is the cutest thing.

A judge has dismissed domestic violence charges against US women's football star Hope Solo.

Solo, a goalkeeper for the US team and Seattle Reign club, had been charged after an altercation with her half-sister and a teenage nephew in June.

But Judge Michael Lambo in Kirkland, Washington state, dismissed the charges after the alleged victims had failed to answer questions about the case.

Solo, 33, had earlier pleaded not guilty to the charges.She maintains she acted in self-defence during the incident at a family gathering in Kirkland.

The athlete - who has been playing for the national team since 2000 - has won two Olympic gold medals.Solo, who has also played in top clubs in Europe, is currently preparing for this summer's Women's World Cup in Canada.

Twice!

That wasn't Torres. It was Classic Torres (Blonde)

Torres' goalscoring power comes from his hair. Liverpool were just lucky to have him when he looked like a teenage girl.

I'd be pretty impressed if somebody had a Fernando Torres goal/game ratio for all his different haircuts.

If there is any justice, my posting of the news should be most liked post ever on the board >_>

[Colly]

If you posted it in the Ring you'd be mauled for enjoying someone losing their job. Rightly so in this case. Poor Lunchy.

[Thrilla]

He's shit and comes across as a dick.

[Colly]

But think of his family! :/

[Thrilla]

He was on six million over four years, I'm sure they'll be fine.
