“We need to change this s---ty situation. We didn't expect this result. It could have even been worse. We weren't able to react,” Lionel Messi said after Thursday’s match, summing up their loss to Brazil as well as anyone could.
Judging by their recent form and the fact that Brazil never lost a World Cup Qualifiers match at home, it would be no stretch to predict a draw or a win against Argentina.
We are not entirely sure what to make of this. At first glance, Kevin McCallister and Cristiano Ronaldo would seem to not have much in common, but here we are. The difference, of course, is when Kevin got left home he was like 12 and Cristiano is a 31-year-old grown man.

Jermaine Jones ha proporcionado la mayor fuente de "material de cartelera" desde el vestidor de México al lanzar una evaluación mordaz del mexicano Javier 'Chicharito' Hernández. Si bien Jones dice que no etiquetaría a Chicharito como un "jugador sucio", sí cree que la afición del delantero mexicano por jugar directamente en la línea de fuera de juego lo convierte en algo molesto para enfrentarlo.

The Neymar Santos-to-Barcelona transfer saga has taken another turn as Spain's high court reportedly ruled that Neymar, his parents and Barcelona executives Sandro Rosell and Josep Maria Bartomeu (as well as the club itself) should stand trial for fraud and corruption.
From The Guardian:
Bastian Schweinsteiger has yet to appear for Manchester United this season. The German midfielder returned to first team training recently (after being forced to train alone), reportedly to get in shape for a possible January move.
It can't be easy for Schweinsteiger to go through this situation with United, which he has said will be his last club in Europe. That's why we're glad to see Schweinsteiger getting some fresh air and light exercise, as well as keeping his spirits up, by going for a walk.
