We’ve now learned that he’s not crazy after a Redmayne water bottle incident with Peru’s goalkeeper was caught on camera.

Ruthless Hungary Hands England Worst Home Defeat Since 1928

WOLVERHAMPTON, England - Hungary thrashed a dreadful England 4-0 away on Tuesday to go top of their Nations League group and perpetuate the hosts' winless run in a competition they had hoped would be a morale-boosting warmup for the World Cup.

With only one goal and two points in their first three games of this Nations League campaign, England dominated early possession at the Molineux and could have gone ahead had Jarrod Bowen been sharper with a close-range header.

Costa Rica's Golden Generation Earns Third Straight World Cup Finals Appearance

I'm over two years late to The Last Dance party on Netflix having just started the documentary last week, so forgive me for this. The show really is a stunning portrayal of Michael Jordan, Scottie Pippen, Dennis Rodman and Phil Jackson, but I'd like to propose a different direction for the sequel — Last Dance 2: Los Ticos.

Keylor Navas takes on the Jordan role, Bryan Ruiz is Pippen, Celso Borges is Rodman and Joel Campbell is Steve Kerr.

Pressure Builds Ahead Of Winner-Takes-All World Cup Playoff Between Peru And Australia

DOHA - Australia and Peru both came through playoffs to qualify for the last World Cup, but only one of them will advance this time round when they meet in their inter-continental playoff in Doha on Monday for a place at this year’s finals in Qatar.

Canada Looks A Different Beast With Alphonso Davies — World Cup Dark Horse Could Escape Group F

Canada’s World Cup odds aren’t amazing. Being in a group with No. 2 in the world Belgium, 2018 World Cup runner-up Croatia and Morocco is less than ideal. Despite being underdogs, Canada’s dominant 4-0 victory against Curacao on Thursday with Alphonso Davies pulling the strings was a good sign that Canada could cause trouble in Group F.
