Good morning, America. It's March 4, 2016. Welcome to the VICE Sports World News Roundup. Be sure to stop every morning for more headlines from around the world.The Adam Johnson saga keeps on rolling. It emerged yesterday thatSunderland, Johnson's former team, had seen the damning text messages between Johnson and the 15-year-old girl he was later convicted of sexually assaulting before his trial. Nevertheless, the team didn't dissolve Johnson's contract until he plead guilty to two of the four charges against him last month. The British media is beginning to ask some tough questions of the club.Influenced by the closed American sports model (i.e. no relegation), clubs in England are openly discussing a European super league. Prior to this Premier League season, I would have been all for it, but now with Leicester and Tottenham looking good for the title in the final third of the most exciting season in memory, I'm not sure it's the change we need.Speaking of Tottenham, they play Arsenal this weekend. I'm going to say it here right now: if Arsenal loses and Tottenham goes on to win the Premier League, Arsene Wenger gets fired.Germany's Bundesliga features another huge match: Bayern vs. Dortmund. At the beginning of the season, I couldn't have imagined anyone but Bayern winning the title, but Dortmund is only five points back going into this match.Advertising for the match is in full swing, even if it doesn't totally make sense.Might not be the worst idea, given how the field is shaping up.--Have something you'd like to see here?
