August 6 Social Zone: It’s a Messi fashion show on Twitter, while Grealish checks in at Man City
Barcelona announcement sends Twitter into overdrive and Olivier Giroud takes centre stage at Milan.
SOCCER: Want to see Lionel Messi in a range of other team's shirts? Course you do.
What if #Messi and #Ronaldo are in the same team?

SOCCER: Hard to feel sympathy with these two, with their wages being a contributing factor to Barcelona not being able to keep Messi.
All this is unfair to Aguero and Depay. They signed to play with Messi not for Barcelona😅

SOCCER: And we're all thinking it, right?

SOCCER: It's never too early in pre-season to bring out the point. Especially when you've just committed this clanger.

SOCCER: Thankfully, Milan haven't signed Olivier Giroud for his singing.

SOCCER: We haven't got footage of Megan Rapinoe's opener for USA in the Olympic bronze medal match but why would you need footage when there is this excellent graphic from Yahoo Sports?
Megan Rapinoe scored a goal directly from a corner kick - a rare feat she's now pulled off twice at the Olympics https://t.co/8rmdmTC4WJ via @Yahoo

SOCCER: So let's get this right. The player didn't think there was anything wrong with this, the cameraman didn't think there was anything wrong with this and then the media team didn't think there was anything wrong with this? Not to mention the 1,523 people who liked it in the 20 minutes it was online.
Mmmm ok, maybe this is just some lost-in-translation thing or an unfortunate misunderstanding let’s go look at the tweet before we rush to judgment... 1/2 pic.twitter.com/zPmQpJD9sh
