VICE Sports World News Roundup: February 23, 2016

Good morning, America. It's February 23, 2016. Welcome to the VICE Sports World News Roundup. Be sure to stop every morning for more headlines from around the world.

Bloomberg has an interesting story on CONCACAF's current legal and financial situation. Guess what? It's not good! Also, former CONCACAF president Jeff Webb apparently hired a team of PIs who "attempted to snoop on the head of U.S. soccer, Sunil Gulati." The plot thickens.

Really, though, this FIFA election is going to be interesting.

Swiss prosecutors working on a case having to do with the World Cups in Qatar and Russia announced they're looking at 152 suspicious financial transactions at FIFA that may have to do with money laundering (link in German).

Tonight in the Champions League, Juventus hosts Bayern and Arsenal hosts Barcelona. The games kick off at the same time. Why UEFA doesn't stagger them, I will never understand.

Apparently Luis Suarez forgot his passport for the team's flight to London. Some Barca lackey was sent back for it and Suarez didn't miss the flight. It's a little embarrassing, though.

Tim Howard's days in Europe look numbered. He's reportedly in talks with MLS, and he "wants a four-year deal worth more than £14 million" according to The Sun. Soccer! It's good work, if you can get it.

The Copa America draw took place on Sunday, which I forgot to mention yesterday. Anyway, this picture got me. These dudes have some history.

Watch American Olympic tumbler Angel Rice do her thing. It's amazing.
