As a result of a terrible start which saw Real Madrid's campaign get underway with a defeat in the UEFA Super Cup to crosstown rivals Atletico Madrid, Julen Lopetegui was sacked by the Whites and Santiago Solari was ...

Croatia clinch victory over France to win Davis Cup
- November 27, 2018
The victory represented redemption for Cilic, who suffered an agonising five-set defeat to Juan Martin Del Potro on the final day of the 2016 final, allowing Argentina to secure a 3-2 comeback win in Zagreb. "We did not even concede a service (in singles)". "Yes, that makes it special", said Cilic. But Krajan said he was pleased to be proved wrong as Coric delivered a near-perfect display on the claycourt constructed inside the cavernous Stade Pierre Mauroy. (more...)

What did Jurgen Klopp exclaim after Roberto Firmino's goal?
- November 27, 2018
The 20-year-old beat Foster with a brilliant whipped free kick from 25 metres nine minutes later, before his global team mate Jordan Henderson was dismissed for a second bookable offence. Roberto Firmino is struggling with his goal-draught this season, although he scored a brilliant goal against Watford this Saturday. Klopp's previously free-scoring Reds have also added an element of steel to their performances this term and have now kept eight clean sheets - a joint-high with City. (more...)

Manchester United dealt injury blow as defender ruled out until new year
- November 27, 2018
It is exactly the opposite. The 4-3-3 system, played at home against a low block, went stale and led to nothing but frustration. Three points against Swiss champions Young Boys , who Man United beat 3-0 in September, would guarantee a place in the knockouts provided Valencia fail to beat Juventus in Turin. (more...)

Kerwin Roach leads Texas to upset over No. 7 UNC
- November 27, 2018
But with such a young UCLA frontcourt with limited defensive skills, Maye could have one of those 30-point and 15-rebound efforts that he had numerous times a year ago. Cassius Winston scored 19 points to guide the Spartans to an easy win over the Bruins in the Las Vegas Invitational . Friday night's test, a quick turnaround less than 24 hours later, would prove if the Longhorns could quickly move on from big wins without a hangover. (more...)

The Spaniard was warmly farewelled by the sport in Abu Dhabi, but when pressed, Alonso stressed that it was "goodbye for now" rather than farewell. (more...)

3 takeaways from the Browns' dominant performance against the Bengals
- November 26, 2018
Upon seeing Jackson, the safety politely handed him the ball and Jackson patted him on he head in acknowledgement. The Bengals will look to snap a two-game losing streak on Sunday, hosting the Browns. Hue Jackson has a chance to audition for the Bengals head coaching job if the team finally decides to part ways with Marvin Lewis, but given how very bad the first half went, it's safe to say Jackson didn't provide Cincinnati with much valuable insight on the Browns offense.
