6 h. ago Football Daily | Is Lamine Yamal already the best male player on the planet?

Sign up now! Sign up now! Sign up now? Sign up now!In a world of hyperbole, recency bias and superlatives that are more exhausted than Casemiro on a counterattack, it is still not a stretch to call Lamine Yamal the best male footballer on the planet. Some particularly cantankerous individuals in Madrid might object to that, and while their annual boycott of Football Daily’s Bank Holiday Barbecue continues to be a point of consternation across the footballing world, there is no denying that the Barcelona boy is bit special. We say boy, because that is legally what he is. Akin to mentioning Frank Lampard whenever anyone talks about Coventry City or helicopter rides whenever brings up Michael Owen, we are contractually obliged to remind you of Lamine Yamal’s age whenever we write about him. HE IS JUST 17, FOLKS.It’s easy to mock Ange Postecoglou as Spurs have had a difficult season and are 16th in the Premier League (scroll down).

Going back out on tour, the 13-time Grammy winner recalls stark inspirations and steamy studio sessions as she answers your questionsYou’ve had a decades-long career. When did you first feel that you had “made it”? LondonLuvverI wasn’t expecting to do music for a job. I was into social activism in college, and I just had music as a hobby. My boyfriend managed a bunch of blues artists and I asked if I could open for some of them – just to have fun and hang out with my heroes. Unbeknown to me, there really weren’t any women playing blues guitar and doing the mix of songs [I was], and I immediately got more offers of gigs and even a record company offer within about a year.
