Toronto's cooked. Try Hamilton, there's still money to be made there.

Looks like Pelle's int'l career is done:


Was probably bound to happen at some point anyway given he's kinda trash and is playing in China, but still.

It's not exactly panic time yet, but Argentina sure is having a rough go of qualifying for the World Cup. A lot of it can boil down to the fact they've won 3 of 3 with Messi in the lineup and only 1 of 7 with him out.

There are 8 games left and they occupy the 5th spot which would require a going through the inter-confederation playoff. Their next 3 games are against Brazil, Colombia (both games are next month) and Chile. If Leo isn't back to 100% by those first two then they are in tough to make it.

good lord ... from hero to near zero all in one game lol

Paris Saint-Germain and Ivory Coast defender Serge Aurier has been praised after "saving the life" of Mali forward Moussa Doumbia on Saturday.

After Doumbia was knocked unconscious in a challenge with Sunderland's Lamine Kone, Aurier intervened to stop the Rostov player swallowing his tongue.

Mali's manager Alain Giresse added that he spoke to Aurier after the game to thank him for his "superb reactions".

Ivory Coast went on to win the home 2018 World Cup qualifier 3-1 in Bouake.

"All the players realised that Doumbia was choking and was about to swallow his tongue," Giresse told French radio station RMC.

"That's when Aurier, with one of our players, quickly put him on his side and pulled out his tongue, because he was about to lose his life."

However, Aurier later caused controversy by making a throat-slit gesture towards the crowd after his side's third goal.

The celebration was the latest in a string of incidents involving the full-back.

In September, he was sentenced to two months in jail for elbowing a police officer, but remains free pending an appeal.

And in February, he was suspended by Paris St-Germain after appearing to use homophobic language to insult then-coach Laurent Blanc.

He had also called team-mate Angel di Maria a "clown" as he answered questions from fans on social media app Periscope.

I don't think this is going to be the only instance of this we see:

Celtic and Rangers could finally quit Scotland with Atlantic League back ON

It's funny, for years people half-expected Real and Barca to switch their respective Adidas and Nike alliances since Ronaldo and Messi represent the opposite sponsors. Nothing ever changed in Spain but literally every team in England has signed with competitors. Crazy.

Chelsea agree monster £60m-a-year Nike deal - the biggest in the club's history
