VICE Sports World News Roundup: September 14

Start your day with VICE Sports. Here's our morning roundup of the sports news from around the world.

Good morning, America. Welcome to the VICE Sports World News Roundup. Be sure to stop by daily for your morning headlines.

It's the 14th of September, 2015, and Sepp Blatter is still president of FIFA.

The U.S. Open is over. If you spent the weekend under a rock, here's what you missed: After upsetting Serena Williams in the women's semi-final, Italian Roberta Vinci lost to her compatriot, longtime friend and former roommate Flavia Pennetta, 6-7, 2-6. Italian Prime Minister Matteo Renzi was so stoked about the all-Italian clash he flew in from Rome to watch.

In the men's draw, Novak Djokovic beat Roger Federer 6-4, 5-7, 6-4, 6-4.

Also worth mentioning, Martina Hingis, yes, that Martina Hingis, is back and she owns doubles tennis.

Italian Fabio Aru won the Vuelta Ciclista a España.

During stage 3 of the Vuelta, which finished in Malaga, team Orica-GreenEdge had a bike stolen. A few weeks later, a couple cops in Malaga noticed a really nice-looking bike in a bike shop was being sold for a mere 120 euros. Something seemed off. Turned out it was Orica-GreenEdge's 9,000 euro bike!

It was quite a weekend in the world of soccer, with rivalries galore. In Italy, Inter beat Milan 1-0. In England, Manchester United beat Liverpool 3-1. The game was notable because of how boring the first half was—Really, really boring!—and because of the very dope goals that were eventually scored.

I'm not sure "Benteke wow!" really does this justice:

The goal seems to have gotten Anthony Martial fired up though, because he went and did the following. Not bad!

Chelsea, meanwhile, is in the midst of a full-on meltdown. Jose Mourinho seems pretty rattled.

Basketball icon Moses Malone is dead at 60.

Something called the Pairs Driving Championships happened in a place called Fabiansebestyen, a Hungarian village of 2,300 people. Here's Austria's Markus Szedenik tearing up the obstacle course.
