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

It's the 2nd of November, 2015, and Sepp Blatter is still, technically, president of FIFA.

New Zealand beat Australia in the Rugby World Cup final, 34-17. New Zealand, which also won in 2011, is the first team to win back-to-back World Cups and the first team to win three titles altogether. If you're not impressed, consider this: the population of New Zealand is a little under 4.5 million.

After the medal ceremony, New Zealand's Sonny Bill Williams did an incredibly nice thing. He gave his winners medal to a young All Blacks fan.

Nico Rosberg won the Mexican Grand Prix. His teammate, Lewis Hamilton, came in 2nd. Hamilton has already secured this season's World Championship.

Poland's Agnieszka Radwanska won the WTA 2015 finals by beating Petra Kvitova 6-2 4-6 6-3.

Roger Federer beat Rafael Nedal in the Swiss Indoor Championship, 6-3 5-7 6-3. It was the first time the pair had played each other in almost 2 years.

Boca Juniors won the Argentinian Primera Division. Carlos Tevez must have a pretty ridiculous trophy cabinet at home.

The Bundesliga's big weekend fixture was Wolfsburg - Leverkusen. Chicharito scored (duh), but so did Wolfsburg… twice. Also, Bayern could only manage a tie away at Frankfurt.

Some notable results from the Premier League: Everton beat Sunderland 6-2, Manchester United drew 0-0 at Palace, and Chelsea lost 1-3 to Liverpool.

Rumors that Jose Mourinho has lost the Chelsea lockerroom continue to gather steam. About Mourinho, one player has supposedly said he'd "rather lose than win" for the boss. Eden Hazard is also apparently at loggerheads with Jose. He's reportedly been given one month to better the situation.

After the win, a reporter asked Klopp if Liverpool would win the title: "Are you crazy?" asked Klopp. "You think after one win at Chelsea we should think about this? I've been here three weeks, round about."
