The Édgar Méndez red card that took place in the 34th minute between Alavés and Levante will be a strong contender for the oddest sending off of the season.
Méndez was shown his first yellow card in the 24th minute. Then, ten minutes later, he was bizarrely booked a second time and given a red card after retrieving a ball that went out of bounds and passing it onto the field.
The U.S. presidential election is still going. It’s dragging on and on. It’s frustrating to not know who the next president will be, but it takes time to count votes, especially when some politicians refused to allow counts to start early just so that one candidate could challenge the veracity of certain vote counts.
But The18 can make a new, bold projection: Southampton will win the Premier League.
If you haven’t been paying attention to the U.S. election results you either don’t care about the election, live under a rock or are a vote counter in Nevada.

Chelsea picked up a vital three points in the Champions League with a 3-0 victory on Wednesday courtesy of Rennes defender Dalbert living his worst nightmare despite Halloween being four days ago.
The Brazilian left back will be in desperate need of extra emotional support and could definitely use a hug after playing the worst 40 minutes of his career. Dalbert’s nightmare on Stamford Street began in the 10th minute when he tripped up Timo Werner in the penalty area. The Rennes defender was shown a yellow card and could only watch as the German striker buried the penalty kick.
Soccer players kicking field goals should be a no-brainer. I firmly believe that becoming a kicker in the NFL is a viable back-up career for soccer players that retire or don’t make the cut. Look at Cairo Santos — he was born in Brazil and initially wanted to become a soccer player. That dream died and then boom, he transferred his abilities to American football and will now make $1 million this season kicking for the Chicago Bears.
Don’t let Gareth Bale scoring Tottenham’s game-winning goal against Brighton on Sunday distract you from Harry Kane and Son Heung-min’s abysmal flopping performance. In the span of ten seconds, the world was treated to two pathetic Kane and Son flops.
One of the biggest cups in Scottish football is now available to stream in the United States. That's right, US media rights to the storied Tunnock's Caramel Wafer Challenge Cup were purchased by ESPN+.
Zlatan Ibrahimovic is a different breed of human. The Swedish titan has been proving all the doubters wrong with his prolific form for AC Milan at the ripe old age of 39.
Every now and then there is an event in the world of soccer that seems so unbelievable it turns the game on its head.
On Saturday, one such incident, an event unforeseen and unprecedented in the annals of modern technology, occurred in the historic town of Inverness in the distant Scottish Highlands.
