Suarez inspires stunning Barcelona comeback at Real Sociedad
- January 15, 2018
The hosts raced to a two-goal lead, with Paulinho reducing the deficit on the stroke of half-time.

Everton vs. Tottenham: a pre-match word from Mauricio Pochettino
- January 15, 2018

- January 15, 2018

Paris Saint-Germain without Neymar for Ligue 1 trip to Nantes
- January 15, 2018
If I talk too much, I will be summoned by an ethics commission. Something tells us the French Football Federation might have something to say about this little. Leo Dubois' free-kick was nodded in by Sala, but Abdoulaye Toure, who had also attacked the ball, was offside and the goal was ruled out. The Brazil global played and scored in Wednesday's Coupe de la Ligue victory over Amiens , but he will not travel to the Stade de la Beaujoire. (more...)

Bring on Jacksonville! Patriots to face Jaguars for AFC Championship
- January 15, 2018

Roger Federer deflects attention as he prepares to defend Australian Open title
- January 15, 2018
Serena Williams decided not to defend her Australian title, saying that just four months after having her first child that her tennis hadn't yet returned to a level where she felt could win a Grand Slam title.

Zidane gets Real backing from Hierro
- January 15, 2018
Local reporters pressed Zidane on whether the team had hit rock bottom - considering they are also currently 16 points adrift of runaway La Liga leaders Barcelona.

Brett Favre claims he was concussed in 2009 NFC title game
- January 15, 2018
The team with the elite defense tends to hold the edge in these offense vs. defense showdowns, but five points may be a hard spread to cover against a Saints offense led by one of the game's all-time great quarterbacks. We don't know what Case Keenum is going to look like in a big-time playoff game.
