Good morning, America. It's March 29, 2016. Welcome to the VICE Sports World News Roundup. Be sure to stop by every morning for more headlines from around the world.

Boy, do we have a slow news day on our hands today! How slow, you ask? Well, the top story on Reddit's soccer sub was simply the following tweet, in which the person managing the Twitter account for a ninth-tier English team turned out to also be a player.

Sorry for break in tweets. I came on as a sub for Millard. Other subs were Anderson for Millington and Hollingsworth for Wright

Things should be a bit better tomorrow, though, because this evening we have a full slate of international friendlies on our hands. Germany versus Italy is the pick of the bunch, followed by England versus the Netherlands.

Down in South America, Colombia plays first-place Ecuador (!) in the CONMEBOL World Cup qualifying tournament.

A second Belgian cyclist has died. Daan Myngheer suffered a heart attack during a race in Corsica. He was 22. His compatriot, Antoine Demoitie, died over the weekend in a different race, after he was struck by a race motorcycle.

Both Serena Williams and Andy Murray were knocked out of the Miami Open. Serena hadn't lost in Miami in 20 matches. She was beaten by world No. 19 Svetlana Kuznetsova. Murray was undone by world No. 28 Grigor Dimitrov.

Photo of the Day

This photo of Edmonton Oilers's Adam Clendening shooting or passing or something is a couple days old, but it's cool, so I thought I would share.
