There isn't really an honest reason fans should stay up and watch 'International Champions Cup Soccer', mostly because it sounds like a knockoff video game from the early 00s that fell by the wayside as Pro Evo and FIFA dominated the market.
But then again, if Joe Hart has suddenly decided to start doing things like this, the sleepless nights might just be worth it.

I can't wait to see how the rest of the competition pans out, and who else Joe Hart could nutmeg, as though this is all just playing out like God is on his Xbox and he's suddenly decided to piss about by controlling the goalkeeper.
God's mate is getting very, very annoyed by this. God's mate has chucked his controller. God's mate has now left the game.
Salah has agreed to terminate his contract a year early Nine years, and 255 goals, after his Anfield arrival, Mohamed Salah is set to finally leave Liverpool, as announced in an emotional statement on Tuesday evening. Somewhat surprisingly, albeit considering a mid-season fallout with Arne Slot, the Egyptian forward has agreed to end his contract […]
