      Brighton fans say ‘love him already’ as Barco’s Argentina ‘s***housery’ to ruin Brazil’s Olympic dream goes viral

      by

      VALENTIN BARCO’S “s***housery” to ruin Brazil’s Olympic dream has sent social media into meltdown. The 19-year-old signed for Brighton for £7.87million in January from Boca Juniors but has been away on international duty.

      On 93 minutes Barco’s mischief began as Brazil were awarded a free-kick with Argentina’s under-23 side 1-0 up.
      Brazil’s chances of grabbing an Olympic gold for a THIRD successive year were rapidly slipping away from them.
      But Barco was having none of it and cheekily booted the free-kick up into the gods.
      Barco was shoved to the floor by livid Brazil players who crowded around the Seagulls youngster.

      Argentina, who won gold in 2004 and 2008, finished the final qualifying event with five points.
      Barco has played predominantly on the left side as a full-back, wing-back or winger, but also across midfield.
      He made 35 first-team appearances for Boca after coming through the academy and helped them reach last year’s Copa Libertadores final.

      Where is Gary Lineker and why isn’t he on Match of the Day?

      by

      GARY Lineker has been the backbone of the Match of the Day presenting team for almost a quarter of a century.But the former Leicester, Spurs and Barcelona striker wont be appearing on the show on Saturday February 10 — here we take a look at why.

      Where is Gary Lineker and why isn’t he on Match of the Day?
      Gary Lineker has been forced to pull out of presenting Match of the Day on Saturday February 10, 2024.
      He usually hosts the football highlights show every Saturday night.
      Gary took to X, formerly Twitter, on the afternoon of the show he’s missing to break the news to fans.
      In typical style, he joked: “Some good news for some: I’ve been silenced….with a rotten cold that seems to be lasting forever.
      READ MORE ON GARY LINEKER
      “Hate missing hosting @BBCMOTD but I’ll be watching.”
      So instead of being in the studio, he’ll be convalescing at home.
      Fans were quick to wish the former striker well, with one person tweeting: “Get well soon Gary, we need you in strong voice!”
      Another commented: “Get well soon Gary!”
      Most read in Football
      While a Newcastle fan joked: “Get well soon Gary. And you’re doing the right thing. We don’t want Wor Al catching it 🖤🤍.”
      Gary is regularly joined on the show by pundits including Alan Shearer, Ian Wright and Micah Richards.
      MOTD and BBC Sport struck a new four-year agreement with the Premier League in December 2023, meaning the TV programme will continue to show Premier League highlights until 2029.
      Gary is also believed to be set to agree a huge contract extension with the BBC.
      Who has replaced Gary Lineker?
      Mark Chapman will step in to replace Gary while he is ill.
      The Manchester United fan has been a regular on Final Score and Match of the Day 2.
      So although Chappers is BBC Sport’s chief rugby league presenter, he also knows a thing or two about the beautiful game.
      When was Gary Lineker last missing from Match of the Day? 
      The BBC dramatically suspended Gary from Match of the Day in 2023, leading to the programme being broadcast without presenters, pundits or the usual commentary team over the weekend of March 11/12.
      This came after the BBC ruled that a tweet he posted about former Home Secretary Suella Braverman broke impartiality rules.
      Gary took to Twitter to hit out at the Illegal Migration Bill, which bans migrants who arrive on small boats from ever settling in Britain.
      His suspension sparked chaos as scores of his co-hosts launched a mutiny.
      A BBC spokesperson said: “Some of our pundits have said that they don’t wish to appear on the programme while we seek to resolve the situation with Gary.
      “We understand their position and we have decided that the programme will focus on match action without studio presentation or punditry.”
      The show’s commentary also stood down, with commentators usually heard on football broadcasts outside of the UK replacing them.
      Gary and the team returned MOTD to present highlights of the FA Cup quarter-finals on March 18, 2023.
      More recently Gary missed the footy highlights and analysis programme on April 1, 2023.

      It was no April Fool’s Day joke, as he explained in a tweet: “Just so there’s no misunderstanding, I won’t be doing @BBCMOTD tonight.
      “I’m not suspended, just on holiday. Back next week. 😂👍🏻” More

      Lineker is also set to agree a huge contract extension with the BBC.
      The Leicester legend has recently been embroiled in some controversies with the BBC.
      Last month he sparked a row and was slammed as “ignorant” after sharing a tweet calling to ban Israel from world football.
      Lineker reposted a statement on X from a pro-Palestinian campaign calling for Israel to be ousted from global tournaments and games “until it ends its grave violations of international law”.
      And last March he sparked an impartiality row after saying the Government rhetoric on immigration was similar to that of 1930s Germany. More

      “Is there anyway around it? Apparently takes 10 days before you’re allowed to travel.”
      According to the Government website, a yellow fever certificate is required to travel to the Ivory Coast due to the risk of transmission in the country.
      This plea came after a post where Astrid claimed she was part Nigerian.

      A follow-up picture showed the Chelsea supporter wearing a Nigerian football team top and holding a Nigeria flag alongside a piece of paper apparently from genealogy company Ancestry.
      The paper in question showed a breakdown of Astrid’s ethnicity in regions.
      It showed her to be 39 per cent English, 36 per cent Welsh, 19 per cent Nigerian and three per cent German.
      She also had less than a one per cent link to Italy, Spain, Belgium and highlighted previous African Caribbean migration from her family tree.

      Fans stunned after former Premier League star scores worldie on Betis debut as they say ‘shame what Moyes did to him’

      by

      PABLO FORNALS split both the net and social media – with an outrageous solo goal on his Real Betis debut.Some West Ham fans were shocked by his brilliance – while others blamed their boss David Moyes for not getting the best out of the midfielder.
      Pablo Fornals conjured a wonder goal first time out for Betis in LaLiga

      Fornals left Cadiz keeper Jeremias Ledesmas with little chance
      The six-cap Spaniard weaved in from the right to curve a laser left-footer inside the far corner.
      It rounded off a 2-0 win at struggling Cadiz that put Betis sixth – into one of the two Europa League places.
      The ex-Villarreal star, 27, had ended his five years at West Ham on transfer deadline in a £7million return to his home country.
      Fornals exited the London Stadium after 23 goal and 19 assists in 203 games – but also with question marks over his ability in the Premier League.

      However, after seeing his confident footwork and curling goal, one fan posted: “Shame what Moyes did to him.”
      Another said: “Good luck to him. Was fantastic for us. It’s our loss tbf.”
      A third wrote: “Who would have thought he could play CM?!”
      And a fourth moaned: “The amount of players that have left West Ham and then scored on their debut at their new club is wild.”

      But other viewers reckon Fornals’ stylish technique and attacking style is more suited to LaLiga than the English top flight.
      One observer claimed: “Lovely goal, would never get the space to do that in the Prem though, but obviously people will have a meltdown about this.”
      Every Premier League stadium ranked by the number of pubs nearby with one boasting over 130 local boozers
      Another suggested: “Lovely fella but couldn’t hit a cow’s a*** with a banjo for us.”
      And a fellow doubter was seemingly shaking with disbelief as he shared a clip of the goal and added: Yes, Pablo Fornals actually just did that.”
      The ex-Malaga ace struck Betis’ clincher on 46 minutes following a surging run from Brazilian striker Willian Jose, who had fired a brilliant opener. More
