England Snatch Win Against Wales With Daniel Sturridge Stoppage Time Goal
You can’t say it wasn’t deserved. Late on in a England-Wales match that was somehow still tied at one goal apiece despite the Three Lions creating more and better chances, England got the winner thanks to a brilliant Dele Alli flick and some nifty Daniel Sturridge footwork before he fired the ball i...
UEFA Promises To Boot Russia From Euros Upon Next Incident Of In-Stadium Fan Violence
Even if more than a couple bigwigs in Russian sport don’t, UEFA apparently does take seriously the problems that Russian hooligans have caused so far in this Euro 2016 tournament—namely, of course, the problem of them beating the life out of dozens of English fans.

God Save The Pop Singer Hired To Perform FA Cup Final National Anthem And Didn't
British pop singer Karen Harding had one job before today’s FA Cup Final at Wembley: to sing “God Save The Queen.” It didn’t work out so well for her—having missed her cue, she stood silently for most of the anthem before finally chiming in for the final few words.

Like most plans borne of the teena...

Columbus Crew Trade Away Top Scorer Following Dumb Penalty-Kick Beef
Now, I don’t know much about MLS, but trading your top scorer coming off a season where he tied the league lead for most goals all because he got into an argument about who would take a penalty in what should’ve been a blow-out seems really, really weird to me. And yet these appear to be the facts o...

Read The Laughable Lawsuit Patriots Fans Filed Against The NFL Over Ball-Deflation Punishment
It is a pleasant surprise that this lawsuit, filed today by New England Patriots fans against the NFL, is not scrawled in crayon on the back of a Papa Gino’s placemat, or smeared in shit on the wall of a truck-stop bathroom. But then you read it, and it might as well be: it accuses the NFL, in punis...
