    Eli Manning Trolls Tom Brady

    Former New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning trolled Tom Brady on X (formerly Twitter), as he savagely reminded the former New England Patriots star of their history together.

    Manning was tagged in a post from soccer club Wrexham AFC about being a new member of the fan base. Manning mocked Brady by mentioning that he's going to beat him in soccer this time, like what he did to him in both Super Bowl XLII and XLVI.

    Brady is a part owner of Birmingham City, an English soccer club that was relegated to the third tier in May. Brady became a minority owner of the club in early April of 2023.

    Wrexham FC is set to take on Birmingham City on Monday. They have another meeting set for January 25, 2025.

    "Now I can beat @Tom Brady in football and futbol" Manning said. "Go @Wrexham_AFC!"

    Peyton Manning was with the Giants from 2004 to 2019. He finished as a two-time Super Bowl Champion. That came after his career at Ole Miss, where he was good enough to eventually be the top pick in the 2004 draft.

    In Manning's first Super Bowl title, the Giants were a 12.5-point underdogs in the game. They trailed 14-10 late in the contest before Manning led his team down the field 83 yards to turn things around and win. This was the David Tyree game. In Super Bowl XLVI, Manning led the Giants down the field 88 yards to score a touchdown. He was later named Super Bowl MVP.

    Of course, Tom Brady is widely known as the greatest quarterback of all time. His biggest issue was beating Eli Manning in the title game. After a college career at Michigan, he played from 2000 to 2019 with the New England Patriots and from 2020 to 2022 with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

    Brady is a seven-time Super Bowl Champion, and he won five Super Bowl MVPs. But the stat that is remembered in this case is 0-2 against Manning in the final game.

    Can Manning make it 0-3 against Brady in the Wrexham vs. Birmingham game?
