Look at this shirt. LOOK AT IT!

They have 12 games left -- how many do they lose: 1, 2, none?

About time that Manchester United distanced itself from Mason Greenwood. It was a disgrace that it took this long and their hand was completely forced by both the reporting in The Athletic and public backlash. We make a lot of compromises as sports fans but I'm not sure I could have continued to support the club if they had brought him back. The fact that he hasn't even provided any explanation/apology is even worse.

Luis Rubiales told an emergency general assembly of the federation "I won't resign" four times in quick succession and claimed he was a victim of a witch hunt by "false feminists."

It's funny that I had bet France to win the WWC because I thought they would get a boost from the new coach and moving on from the prior toxic regime. And the team with the most screwed up management won the tournament.

Spain's national team players announced Friday that they will not play any more games unless the president of the country's soccer federation steps down for kissing player Jenni Hermoso on the lips after their victory.

Another Messi goal.

Another Messi goal.

He looks like he's playing against children since he came to Miami. What a goal.
