The game that has taken over the world.
Dele Alli joined streaming platform Twitch on Wednesday to play a bit of Fortnite for his fans whilst the Champions League semi-final tie between Bayern Munich and Real Madrid was going on.
It was a nice alternative, having the opportunity to watch Dele Alli and Kyle Walker-Peters play a video game rather than, I don’t know, watch Marcelo trap footballs out of orbit and Joshua Kimmich sprint up and down the right touchline like unholy love-child of Philip Lahm and Cafu.
To be fair to him, Alli was pretty good at the game, and he has since taken things up a notch with the addition of the two ‘Arrys, Kane and Maguire.
The England trio played the game for well over an hour on Friday with thousands watching from home, listening to Kane and Alli go back and forth with cream-cracker levels of dryness, whilst a million people in the comments section made the same joke about Harry Kane claiming all the kills.

How Harry Kane’s microphone continued to function perfectly throughout the stream, I’ll never know.
And just for good measure, and to piss off a certain section of supporters, here’s iconic dancer/professional footballer Antoine Griezmann giving Arsenal fans the “L” after this week’s Europa League semi-final finished a draw, despite Atletico playing with 10 men for the vast majority of the game.

God bless Fortnite.
