July 30 Social Zone: Lionel Messi gives child keep-ball nightmares, and Real Madrid ace is magic
Lionel Messi
Also in Social Zone, doping accusations are made directly to the competitor at the Olympics, and Virgil van Dijk has a less than impressive return from injury.
Soccer: Imagine being the kid in the middle as not one, not two, but three people with Lionel Messi genes are playing keep-ball.
You've got to feel for the kid getting stuck between three Messis ? pic.twitter.com/2DtXXb4CS7

Soccer: Great to see Virgil van Dijk back on the pitch for Liverpool, although Steven Jovetic might have made him wished he'd left it another week or so.

Soccer/Gynmastics: Paul Pogba joined a growing list of top sports stars sending support for Simone Biles in Tokyo.
A moment of undeniable strength from @simone_biles. We always focus on the physical aspect of health but the mental aspect is just as important. When you take care of both, you will flourish in life! ❤️??#SimoneBiles GOAT ?

Tennis: We are not detectives, but it's probably fair to deduce that Daniil Medvedev wasn't entirely pleased with his defeat at the Olympics.

Rugby: Petition for Fiji to win more gold medals at the Olympics. This was brilliant.
What a moment. Fiji’s rugby team sing their hearts out for their nation after winning gold. This is a team that had to come here on a freight plane, and spent months away from their families because of covid. pic.twitter.com/IdIQRpUuFS

Rowing: Elsewhere at the Olympics, we think Paul O'Donnovan is happy with his gold medal, at least we assume he is. He could be saying anything here though.
“Ah sure they’re all delighted back there, they’ve flooded the streets, barrels bursting everywhere – they were so keen to devour it all” ??
