Sticking to a routine helps you get in the zone for the match. I always put my left shinpad on before my right. When I go out onto the pitch, I take three hops on my left leg – but I don’t know why I started. I must have seen Messi do it or something.

I don’t think people are keen to have Coldplay tell me about Cam Newton’s red zone option.
You have two options when you approach a hostile checkpoint in a war zone, and each is a gamble.
