Jose Mourinho calms claim he's the 'best in the world'
- December 09, 2016
The Zorya match - Thursday is the last phase of Europa League group games - will take place in Odessa , southern Ukraine, a four-hour flight from northern England and where temperatures will hover around freezing by evening kickoff. "If the fifth fixture is the last fixture here, it would be the end of November and not mid-December, so I think that's the problem.

Louisville's Jackson wins Walter Camp player of the year
- December 09, 2016
Watson finished third in the Heisman voting a year ago behind victor Derrick Henry of Alabama and Stanford running back Christian McCaffrey.
