Major Link Soccer: Sam Allardyce hired by England

The World:

Despite some rumblings of Jurgen Klinsmann making a strong impression on the FA, the long held favorite for theposition ended up winning out, with former Sunderland manager Sam Allardyce officially getting hired on Friday.

The Japanese League has agreed to a 10 year  streaming partnership with British based sports media company Perform Group, for an estimated $2 Billion.

Romelu Lukaku and Paul Pogba played a pretty intense 1 v 1 game of basketball.

With the Premier League season fast approaching, there are a few relegated players that could be a good fit in the Premiership. The talent is getting picked up fast however, with Georgino Wijnaldum signing to Liverpool.

Unlike my 19-year old self, 19-year old Borussia Dortmund player Ousmane Dembele embarrassed other people, making Marcos Rojo take a seat while on his way to goal.

There are many ways to come to a fanhood decision, and basing it off Ross Dress for Less kit availability is a fairly rational reason to do so.
