WTF

The 2018-19 AC Milan Europa League campaign is back in business thanks to a ruling Friday from the Court of Arbitration for Sport. But now it has us wondering if this spells the end of Financial Fair Play in Europe. 

AC Milan qualified for the Europa League based on its sixth-place finish in Serie A. However, due to Financial Fair Play improprieties, the club was banned from European competition. But now it appears FFP is meaningless in the wake of the CAS ruling. 

It’s the type of headline that sounds as if it’s from 1950s, but alas, here we are in 2018 and we face the reality that incidents such as these do indeed still happen.

Moscow club Torpedo Moscow decided to cancel Erving Botaka-Yoboma’s contract after supporter groups expressed their discontent with the new player. On signing day, which should be a positive one for any professional and club, Torpedo Moscow organization higher ups and Botaka-Yoboma were met with these words:

In her post-game interview on July 7 after playing former club Sky Blue, Chicago Red Stars forward Sam Kerr did not want to talk about her hat-trick or the satisfaction of clinching three points on the road. Rather, Kerr used the mic in front of her to say this: “I wish things were better here [at Sky Blue]. I’m just going to say the girls deserve better and I’m just going to leave it at that.

Usain Bolt, the fastest man in the world, is set for a six-week trial with Australian A-League club Central Coast Mariners. If Bolt manages to impress, he could secure a one-year deal with the Mariners.

Marco Silva’s first match in charge of Everton proved to be quite difficult for the scoreboard operator. The Toffees destroyed Austrian minnow ATV Irdning 22-0 to open the 2018 Everton preseason campaign on Saturday in Austria.

You read that right: 22-0.

Who needs Wayne Rooney?

A Luka Modric trial is perhaps not the first thing that comes to your mind when thinking about the Real Madrid and Croatia star.

Croatia will face France in the World Cup final this Sunday. However, it is not only France that worries captain Luka Modric at the moment.

Modric has led his team to an historic achievement, managing to qualify for its first-ever World Cup final.

The first semifinal of the 2018 World Cup featured heavyweights France and Belgium, and there were several inspiring moments throughout the match. Unfortunately, a Blaise Matuidi concussion in the 82nd minute and the insufficient treatment he received left many fans in disbelief for all the wrong reasons.

Sweden was sent packing by England after a 2-0 defeat in the quarterfinals of the World Cup. The Swedes showed the world that they were there to really have a go at the tournament, making it out of a group that barely anyone gave them a chance in. 

However, while Sweden’s players will no doubt be proud of their achievement, there was one little bit of negativity that arose from it — a piece of negativity to the tune of $66,000. More specifically, Andreas Granqvist’s socks are going to cost him $66,000. Clear enough for you?
