Jerome Champagne has again declared his candidacy for the FIFA presidency. He ran last time too.
The semifinals of the Rugby World Cup take place this weekend. South Africa takes on New Zealand on Saturday. Australia plays Argentina on Sunday.Kloppo is still looking for his first win as Liverpool manager. His team tied Rubin Kazan 1-1 last night in the Europa League.Manchester City's fans booed the Champions League anthem, and now UEFA has charged City under article 16.2 of UEFA's code, which has a line in it about disrupting anthems. This is all very dumb, of course. It would be a travesty if City gets a stiffer fine than Dynamo Kiev for the racist attack in its stadium.Manchester United coach Louis Van Gaal has called the Premier League schedule "evil," which is sort of true. I mean, the league schedule doesn't have a mind and can't actually be evil (or good), but players in England do play a lot of games, and they don't even get Christmas off.
