Serbia tend to make a mark at international tournaments and in Germany the interesting element is that two of their three most important players ply their trade in Saudi Arabia. Aleksandar Mitrovic and Sergej Milinkovic-Savic, teammates at Al-Hilal, join Dusan Tadic as the individuals likely to pose the greatest danger to England in Gelsenkirchen.
Mitrovic, familiar to English fans from his eight years with Newcastle and Fulham, has been mocked in Serbia over his move to the Gulf. The striker has been a Newcastle fan since childhood and it has been suggested that if he loved Saudi Arabia so much he should have submitted his CV to his favourite club rather than playing in the country.

Minnesota center Reggie Lynch was officially suspended from participating in any university-related events until Aug. 1, 2020 after an investigation by the school’s Equal Opportunity and Affirmative Action office found he was “responsible” for an April 28, 2016 “sexual misconduct incident,” according to the . The attack took place in his dorm room, according to the victim. Lynch, a star defensive center for the Golden Gophers, will now be suspended until 2020 unless he successfully appeals the EOAA’s ruling. Although the April incident has largely remained under wraps, Lynch’s entire history of sexual misconduct has not. In May 2016, Lynch was arrested for a sexual assault that also took place in his dorm room; the police ultimately declined to press charges, citing a lack…
Some people are fans of the Los Angeles Rams. But many, many more people are NOT fans of the Los Angeles Rams. This 2018 Deadspin NFL team preview is for those in the latter group. Read all the previews so far here. Your team: Los Angeles Rams. Your 2017 record: 11-5. This was the Rams’ first winning season in 14 years. Not only did they wash the stink of Jeff Fisher off themselves, they also stumbled bass ackwards into a good head coach, one who turned one of the most moribund offenses in football into something genuinely fun and exciting. And THIS is how Los Angeles reacted… Meanwhile, a new MLS team set up shop right next door and people FLOODED the gates. It’s not even the first MLS team in that city, mind you. And yet, the instant LAFC arrived, there were crowds on han…
Time to take a look back at our most popular posts of 2015. We have our own thoughts about what our best posts were, but these are the ones that brought in the most readers. This Is Why NFL Star Greg Hardy Was Arrested For Assaulting His Ex-Girlfriend Barefoot and frightened, Nicole Holder walked as fast as she could through the darkness, and the moment she saw the cops she ran. She headed west on Fifth Street toward North Church, away from the Charlotte., N.C., apartment of Greg Hardy, a star defensive end then with the NFL’s Carolina Panthers. Minutes earlier he had, she said, thrown her against a tile bathtub wall, tossed her on a futon covered in assault rifles, and choked her until she told him to “kill me so I don’t have to.” This Is What It Would Look Like If American P…
A lie I tell myself with dismal regularity is Ugh, fuck, I am too tired and burned out to tidy up tonight, I’ll do it in the morning. That is not how it works. In my more caffeinated moments, this is obvious. What happens, what always happens, is: Leaving it for the morning turns into Bleary-Eyed Morning Me leaving it for the afternoon, which then turns into Frantic, Overloaded Afternoon Me loading the dishwasher and wiping down the countertops literally right before I cook dinner, filling the kitchen with more dirty dishes and soiling the countertops I just cleaned. Then, after dinner, the dishwasher is still running with the load I put in right before cooking, so I can’t load it with the dishes from dinner, so I leave them for the morning. And so on. The result is the persistent ba…
Fine. I admit, this is selfish. No one else on the staff was ever as excited about the prospect of a Music Week featuring Pearl Jam as the unifying theme, even though this band's sports-music connection is more obvious than most. They'll deal. So, yes, most of the music content will be devoted to Pearl Jam to help commemorate the band's 20th anniversary, but I promise to not let my fanboy tendencies completely dominate the site. Once, maybe. Twice, tops. We'll have some special guests contributing this week that I think you'll enjoy regardless if you hate the band or not. We'll also have other music content that won't have anything to do with Pearl Jam, Temple of the Dog, Soundgarden, Mother Love Bone, or Mookie Blaylock. We'll also be giving awa…
data-mm-id=”_s7cksf7a6″>The 2019 MLB Postseason officially starts today. The Wild Card games are in the books and now three legitimate World Series contenders and five solid playoff teams can play actual series. Which team will be left standing in November? 8. St. Louis CardinalsThe Cardinals won their division, but finished with the 10th-most wins in baseball this season. 18 teams scored more runs than the Cardinals. If baseball didn't have a 1,000 year history, people would look at the Cardinals and say MLB needs to change their playoff format. 7. Washington NationalsThe Nationals had the second-most quality starts in baseball this season. If Max Scherzer is better than he was in the Wild Card game and Stephen Strasburg is as good as he was, then the Nationals have a shot in any…
data-mm-id=”_evf9ein3r”>Not long ago, Michigan was in free fall. Gone were the days of being the hottest, fastest-rising team in college basketball. The blistering 7-0 start and unprecedented poll ascension were in the rearview. Losers of nine of the last 13, the Wolverines were in serious jeopardy of missing the NCAA Tournament entirely if some form of stabilization couldn't be found. With backs against the wall, first-year coach Juwan Howard was under the gun to find answers and find them fast. And he did. Time after time. The Wolverines responded. They cruised past rival Michigan State before destroying Northwestern and Indiana. Then on Tuesday they did something no other team in the country had done this year: Go to Rutgers and emerge with a victory. Without Isaiah Livers, who…
data-mm-id=”_6slvfly3u”>Spring training has begun for Major League Baseball, and we're all ready to put an offseason of controversy and finger-pointing behind us once and for all. While much is expected of the teams on this list this season, keep in mind that the defending world champion came from out of nowhere to take the trophy.Here are five teams that will exceed their projected win totals:Philadelphia Phillies (Projection: 85.5 wins)For the past two seasons, the Phillies started hot before fading down the stretch to finish just below .500. Ultimately, manager Gabe Kapler was the one held accountable for the Phillies' "phailures" and was given the boot. Reinforcements have arrived in the form of two former Yankees: new manager Joe Girardi and shortstop Didi Greg…
