Sporting are thoroughly outplaying the crap out of the defending champions and finally have the lead to show for it.

Think Sporting blew it by subbing off Gelson (probably because they're worried RM were becoming a little too impressed with him for their liking...) but Real's bench options are really scary.

I have no idea why Juve didn't start Pjanic but it cost them.

Bernardo Silva tore Spurs apart too from what I heard. That kid is going places fast.

Kun Aguero had himself quite a game.

Full-time: Southampton 3-0 Sparta Prague
Southampton kicked off their Europa League campaign with a comprehensive win, the first of Claude Puel’s stewardship. Everything passed off as well as the hosts would have hoped, with a smooth collective performance studded with a few outstanding individual displays, especially from Martina and Romeu.

Yet to win in the Premier League, wins decisively in Europa League.

I wonder what the odds were on Hapoel Be'er Sheva F.C. beating Inter Milan 2-nil at San Siro.

Sounds like Mourinho is finally going to bench Rooney against Leicester. I wouldn't expect to see him back.

Next stop for Wayne is Harchester United

Someone at City should've done this years ago. Good on you, Pepper Guard!

This was rumoured last week but it's official now, the Ballon d'Or has separated from FIFA and both organisations will hold their own "player of the year" awards and ceremonies.

Pretty crazy story about Ronaldo signing for Barca. Letting him leave a year later is to this day one of the dumber things a soccer team has done.
