Belgium beat Israel 3-1. The win will move Belgium to No. 1 in the world rankings for the first time in the nation's history.

The U.S. men's national team group of dudes who happen to play soccer at the same time against a common opponent lost 1-0 to Costa Rica last night.

Ireland plays Argentina in the Rugby World Cup this weekend. The already weakened Ireland squad will be without Sean O'Brien, who has been suspended after sucker-punching a French player in the group stage.

In Olympic Qualifying, the U.S. men's soccer team beat Canada 2-0 to qualify for a playoff against Colombia.
