We're going to advocate for a referee's Olympics and lump every cent we own on this man winning gold.

The most memorable moment of Alex De Souza's Palmeiras testimonial game didn't come from the feet of any player. Rather it arrived in the form of a little can of vanishing spray in the hands of a very creative match official. Former Brazil captain De Souza had gathered a bunch of buddies together for his swansong game last night and the referee paid tribute to the match in one of the most brilliant ways possible. After awarding a free kick, he went all Banksy with his tin of "magic" spray and spelled out ALEX for all to see. https://youtu.be/EC5o41FKeI8 H/t to 101GreatGoals
