French Bar Uses Messi Shirt as Doormat after World Cup Final
A French pub used a Messi PSG shirt as a doormat following Argentina's World cup victory over France.
French Pub Uses Messi Shirt as Doormat
The whole world watched Lionel Messi lift the trophy he had been chasing for his entire career on Sunday, as Argentina beat France on penalties after a phenomenal 120 minutes of football. The Messi narrative meant that for the neutrals and basically everyone outside of France, the outcome of the final was perfect. Obviously, French fans were hoping for a different result, and one bar made their feelings felt in the aftermath.
They pinned a white PSG away shirt with Messi printing to the floor at the entrance, and placed a sign reading "don't forget to wipe your feet" beside it. Judging by the state of the jersey, it seems that quite a few people obliged the request. The bar in question remains unknown, but it's a safe bet that it was done as a publicity stunt to garner some likes and shares online.
It was surely intended as a joke more than anything too sinister, but encouraging people to wipe their feet on the jersey of Messi, who didn't particularly wrong the French in any unsporting way in the final, is maybe a little bit disrespectful. What do you think?
Adidas Liverpool 26-27 LFSTLR Collection Leaked
Official images of the upcoming Adidas Liverpool LFSTLR collection for the 26-27 season have surfaced online, courtesy of kit insider @KamilBerberler. Following the popular black and gold capsule from the previous campaign, the newest lifestyle range from Adidas Originals switches direction with a sleek black and vibrant red color palette, merging retro football heritage with contemporary streetwear design.
The standout piece of the collection is a long-sleeve lifestyle jersey finished in a deep black base with a subtle, tonal all-over graphic incorporating the iconic Liver bird. Contrasting vibrant red accents define the look, highlighting the classic Adidas Three Stripes running down the shoulders and sleeves, the ribbed cuffs, and centrally stacked Trefoil and Liver bird logos. A matching full-zip coach track jacket and tailored track pants carry the same stealthy tonal pattern and bright red detailing.
Alongside the tracksuit is a bold red pullover hoodie featuring dark, centered chest emblems and "YNWA" typography printed on the sleeve cuff. Rounding out the lineup is a relaxed-fitting black t-shirt that displays the stacked red logos on the chest, a jacquard "YNWA" pattern knitted into the ribbed crew collar, and an oversized red "YNWA" wordmark across the lower back hem. The new Adidas Liverpool 26-27 LFSTLR range is expected to launch in the coming months.
Black & Gold Liverpool 26-27 Lifestyle Shirt Leaked - Official Images
Official images of the upcoming Adidas Liverpool 26-27 special-edition lifestyle and pre-match shirt have surfaced online, providing the clearest look yet at the luxurious black and gold design. Known unofficially as the "Gold Leaf" jersey, the shirt is set to release during the 26-27 season as part of Adidas's off-pitch and culture range for the club. Big thanks to @KamilBerberler.
The shirt features a stealth black foundation covered by an intricate metallic gold diamond lattice pattern across the front and back of the torso. Each diamond enclosure contains an ornate floral damask motif inspired by traditional Southeast Asian art, honoring Liverpool's vast Thai fanbase. A classic Adidas Trefoil logo appears on the right chest alongside the Liver bird crest on the left, both applied in matching gold.
Completing the design are solid black sleeves and a crossover V-neck collar detailed with a gold inner trim. Tailored as a high-fashion crossover rather than a competitive match kit, this special-edition pre-match and lifestyle shirt will be available in the 26-27 season.
