    Stones and Shaw being the highest 'valued' at their positions is hilarious

    I don't think its highest "valued" but it also can't be what they were bought for considering Alves went to Juve on a free. I'm not quite sure what its based on looking at the list. I'm not sure how Messi wouldn't be on any "most expensive" list.

    I have the Magista 2's but I prefer my ACE PureControls. They're as comfortable as any Kleather cleat I've had and supringly the no lases isn't an issue as long as you're wearing Apex or Trusox. I love them.

    I just never loved the Purecontrols for some reason, though I will say the 16 is better than the 17. But if you love laceless then try to find a pair of Nemeziz to try on. It's my favorite fit in the laceless category

    Also trusox > any other sock in soccer history

    I do want to try a pair of those if I ever have a chance.

    The only thing I really dislike with the purecontrols is the outer loses most of its grip in super dry conditions.

    One of my favorite cleats ever was the older style Diadora Maracana so I've been really intrigued by the latest from Mizuno and New Balance.

    New Balance - Don't waste your time. The Visaro 1 is ok (I still keep an all white pair to wear on turf and every now and then), but the rest of the line is honestly pretty shit.

    Mizuno- absolutely do, especially the MIJ collection. I know a lot people who swear by them/will only play in Neo's.

    not that there's anything wrong with it, but is he gay? wasn't his first son born to a surrogate too?

    Yes the first was born to a surrogate. I don't know if he is gay and it has been speculated a lot. He has had some high profile girlfriends, which could obviously just be a PR show. By the way, the twins is just a rumor and has not been confirmed by Ronaldo.

    If he is in fact gay, then I think it would be awesome if he came out, but that's for him to decide.

    99% sure he knocked up someone in LA (eg like a cocktail waitress or something) and she signed away all rights etc.
