When even Joe Rogan of all people is shocked into speechlessness and whispers “what a strange strange guy”, you know there is something inherently wrong with the subject in question. In this case, it just happened to be Tom Cruise.

Lionel Messi’s former Argentina team-mate Juan Roman Riquelme believes former Netherlands manager Louis van Gaal was foolish to anger the forward ahead of their World Cup quarter-final showdown. Before the game, Van Gaal said it ‘wasn’t difficult to come up with an answer as to how to stop him,’ having previously claimed Messi didn’t touch the ball when the two nations met at the 2014 World Cup.
