VICE Sports World News Roundup: November 6th

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

It's the 6th of November, 2015, and Sepp Blatter is still, technically, president of FIFA.

Two effigies of Sepp Blatter were burned in England's bonfire night. Click the link for the photos. It was impressive!

Adidas, one of FIFA's main sponsors, has avoided criticizing the organization in recent weeks. In a conference call with reporters, Adidas CEO Herbert Hainer said the following about his company's silence: "The image for our products have never been better so I am definitely convinced that the consumers clearly differentiates between us as a company and the brand and what's going on in FIFA." Of course, Adidas is heavily implicated in the DFB corruption case unraveling right now in Germany, so it would make sense for the company to not say anything bad about FIFA.

Arsene Wenger was asked about the Ballon d'or and whether Messi was better than Ronaldo. His answer was, basically, who gives a shit? Which is the correct answer!

Speaking of Wenger, his Arsenal takes on arch rival Tottenham this weekend. Copa90 has a cool little video about the North London Derby:

The semifinals of the U17 World Cup took place last night. Mali beat Belgium 3-1 and Mexico lost to Nigeria 2-4.

Nigeria - Mexico featured two insane goals. First, Orji Okwonkwo did this:

Then, Mexico's Diego Cortes did this, which for Mexico fans might make the loss worthwhile. That's the definition of golazo.

Is that James Bond? No, it's Rafael Nadal! Rafa was entering the court and preparing to beat South Africa's Kevin Anderson in the Paris Masters. Anderson had a match point in the second set, but Rafa pulled it out, 4-6, 7-6 (8/6), 6-2.
