Leicester continued their fairytale with a 3-0 victory over Club Brugge in their first ever Champions League match, on this day in 2016.
Claudio Ranieri’s Foxes were still riding high after their stunning Premier League title triumph the previous season when they headed to Belgium.
Marc Albrighton opened the scoring early in the first half, with Riyad Mahrez doubling their advantage from a free-kick before adding a third from the penalty spot in the second half.

In an NFL odds upset, Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs unexpectedly fell to the Denver Broncos last week, with the two-time MVP completing just 24 of 38 passes for 240 yards, adding zero touchdowns and throwing two picks in the process.
The lackluster offensive output led to Mahomes’ first career loss to the Broncos, and now the Chiefs have the tall task of traveling across the pond for a Week 9 AFC showdown with the Miami Dolphins.
Can he turn things around in Frankfurt or will the Chiefs’ struggles continue in front of international eyes?

This article has gotten a lot easier to do in the playoffs.
Instead of digging into 12 to 16 games each week and finding my favorite NFL trends, it’s just a handful of games and I 100% embrace it after the four-month grind that is the NFL regular season.
While the volume of games decreases momentarily, business is about to seriously pick up for those of us in the sports betting content business as there’s a little game called the Super Bowl right around the corner. With the Super Bowl comes an avalanche of betting action, which translates to a need for an avalanche of sports betting content — and, that too, is something I embrace.

Steve Guppy is the one everyone remembers. Most dedicated followers of English football in the late 1990s and early 2000s would also be able to name Jason Wilcox and Steve Froggatt. Then you have your David Dunns, your Alan Thompsons, your Chris Powells. Two decades on, the infamous “England left-sided problem” tends to be evoked more as an exercise in nostalgia, a display of performative recall, than as a long-term failure of systems and imagination that Gareth Southgate may just be in danger of repeating.
A “left-sided David Beckham” was Kevin Keegan’s memorable description of Guppy ahead of his England debut, which sadly would also turn out to be his England swansong, against Belgium in 1999. And over the years, as the tournamen…
Josh Wolff believes Austin FC s new signings have given them a much-needed boost and hopes that will carry on against Vancouver Whitecaps on Saturday.
Austin added Mikkel Desler, Oleksandr Svatok and Osman Bukari, who scored in their 2-0 win over Nashville SC last time out, helping to snap a three-match winless streak.
It means they sit ninth in the Western Conference, though only have a one-point advantage over the two teams sitting just below them.
However, Wolff says he is excited to see how the team continues to grow in the second half of the season.
The guys that we got in the summer have performed well and that helps create better overall performances for the team and creates competition in the group and I think it s helped us immensely, he said.…
Sergio Busquets expects this to be his last European Championship with Spain, but the midfielder has not decided when to end his international career.
Busquets lifted the World Cup in 2010 and played his part in La Roja s Euro 2012 triumph nine years ago.
The Barcelona player has another major trophy in his sights, with Spain taking on Italy in the semi-final of Euro 2020 at Wembley Stadium on Tuesday.
Spain captain Busquets has thought about his future with the national team at the age of 32 but says beating the Azzurri is the only thing on his mind for now.
He told AS: You have to think about when to finish your cycle. What I have in mind is that this will be the last European Championship and then it depends.
You have to go step by step,…
