Good morning, America. It's February 22, 2016. Welcome to the VICE Sports World News Roundup. Be sure to stop every morning for more headlines from around the world.

Let's start things off with the offensive words of Milan President (and former Italian prime minister) Silvio Berlusconi: "My dream is to have an all-Italian Milan. We've got many young Italians here at the moment. That includes Balotelli, who has taken too much sun, but is still Italian."

Some weird shit happened in the Leverkusen - Dortmund Bundesliga match this weekend. Christian Pulisic, a 17-year-old American, started. He was subbed off for Marco Reus at the half. But that's not the really weird part. The ref, at one point, sent off Leverkusen coach Roger Schmidt. Shen Schmidt refused to leave, the ref left instead. The game didn't restart again for 15 minutes. The match ended 1-0 for Dortmund, which means Chicharito somehow didn't score.

Over in England, Chelsea beat Manchester City 5-1! Over all, not bad.

Sunderland knew!
