Mourinho: Arsenal pressure too much for Mkhitaryan Reports have suggested that the Barcelona superstar chooses the first XI in every international break, but Bauza has now rubbished the rumours. “They say that Messi puts his friends in the Argentina team and it’s all lies,” Bauza told DeporTea. “It’s an invention of the media.” Messi scored a stunning free-kick and assisted two goals as Argentina defeated Colombia 3-0 in CONMEBOL World Cup qualifying last week....

Messi is widely regarded as one of the greatest ever footballers having won 23 major honours with Barcelona and become his country’s all-time top scorer but he has still yet to win a World Cup. Maradona is also regarded as one of the greatest ever and won the World Cup with an Argentina in 1986. Rivaldo is a huge fan of Messi but thinks that he could fall short of Maradona’s status as a national hero, without earning that first World Cup for his country....

Although Barcelona president Josep Maria Bartomeu has consistently claimed Messi’s contract renewal has been agreed with the superstar, the club is yet to confirm the news. Barcelona -1 8/11 v Leganes Messi’s current Barca deal is due to expire at the end of the season, with the 30-year-old therefore free to discuss terms with other clubs in January. Although Messi has spent his entire senior career at Barcelona and reached 600 appearances for the club before the international break, he has been linked with a switch to Manchester City to reunite with former mentor Pep Guardiola....

The 26-year-old right-hander allowed six runs (four earned) and eight hits in five innings of work Sunday in the Mets’ 6-4 loss to the Cardinals. His ERA ballooned to 5.90 during the loss. “It would’ve been a great win today, but I let the team down,” Syndergaard said after the game, via Newsday. “I’ll keep it short and simple. To be quite honest, the entire beginning of the season, my performances have been unacceptable....

While it is possible for everybody to have their own opinion on the matter, but unless you've actually been in a situation like that, it's hard to really understand the though process of Marcus Smart. MORE: Video of Smart’s shove | Saturday recap In November of 2004, Metta World Peace, then known as Ron Artest, was in Smart's position. Following a bizarre scene in which Artest laid down on the scorers table at The Palace of Auburn Hills, he was struck by a cup, thrown by a fan not happy with Artest's actions....

The weekend saw two of Mexico’s forwards find the back of the net. West Ham United’s Javier “Chicharito” Hernandez continued to make his case for a starting role, scoring in the Hammers’ 3-1 loss to Brighton and Hove Albion. Things were far better for Raul Jimenez’s team as he capped off Benfica’s 5-1 smashing of Rio Ave with a goal of his own. It’s the second goal of the league season for the 26-year-old with both coming in 2018....

Hirving Lozano and PSV were crowned champions in the Netherlands after dispatching of Ajax 3-0. That put them 10 points clear of the second-place side from Amsterdam, meaning the celebrations could begin. It’s the former Pachuca player’s first season abroad, and while the Eredivisie top scorer prize may be slipping from his grasp after another scoreless match, it has been an enormous success for “Chucky”. The 22-year-old may be set for another move after the World Cup....

Hernandez and Gutierrez both went to Mexico City on Sunday to undergo evaluation from El Tri’s medical staff, but the team determined the knocks are too serious for them to take part against Panama or Costa Rica in this international window. El Tri 80/1 for WC glory Hernandez, a Leon attacker, made way from his club’s 2-1 defeat to Santos Laguna on Saturday with a left knee injury, while Pachuca midfielder Gutierrez has a sprained ankle that kept him from traveling to face Tijuana....

Against New Zealand last month, Osorio put in a complete overhaul of the team that had just earned a draw against reigning European champion Portugal.

Osorio pleased with Antuna transfer We’ll see if the lessons from that match took when Mexico meets Jamaica on Thursday in a rematch of the 2015 Gold Cup final....

Nearly every message from the account is reminding fans that tickets are available two for one, a deal that has been offered for several days now but remains in effect as directors attempt to make sure Estadio Azteca is full for Friday’s match. It’s not the first signs of apathy we’ve seen from Mexico fans who used to pack the Azteca to the gills. Games against Costa Rica, Honduras and even the United States have failed to see the boisterous, sell-out crowds that had been commonplace in Santa Ursula....

Forward Alexis Vega got free with the ball and had only the goalkeeper to beat to invigorate El Tri’s opportunity for a spectacular, historic comeback. He did not beat the keeper. He did not score. All that had remained was hope, and even that seemed lost. Maybe it would have been gentler that way. Mexico ultimately left Lusail Stadium in Qatar with a 2-1 victory over Saudi Arabia and a crushing defeat — their drive for a miracle comeback to advance a streak of seven consecutive World Cup round of 16 appearances undone by an inability to turn around an inferior goal difference to Poland....

The Soca Warriors are bottom of the final group with just one win and have named a young, inexperienced squad for this match with a view to the next World Cup cycle. As a result, El Tri will be favoured to secure a convincing win and build some confidence ahead of next week’s trip to Honduras. TV CHANNEL & LIVE STREAM In the U.S., the match will be available to watch live on television on FS1 and by stream via Fox Sports Go....

It was friends catching up with friends, but when both are decorated Olympians it can be more than that. “Just recognizing greatness,” LeBron James explained to reporters (via cleveland.com) about why he pointed to the fan in the front row, Michael Phelps, after a thunderous fourth-quarter dunk.
