A bit of a break before the Monday FA Cup third round tie against Leeds United. After a hectic last one week of football, it’s a welcome breather for the team. Seven out of 12 points from our last four games is not ideal but it isn’t bad either. Could’ve been more had the team not collapsed in the last part of the Fulham game. The best way to go away on a substantial period of break from competitive football is to win the last match....
The Belgian has partnered Fernando Alonso for the past two years, but McLaren will have two new drivers next year in the form of Carlos Sainz Jr and rookie Briton Lando Norris. Vandoorne has been regularly outperformed by veteran Alonso, who is to leave F1 at the end of the season. But he still expected to have been told McLaren’s reasoning by team boss Zak Brown. “Obviously it was the team’s decision, and I have to respect the decision,” he told reporters at the Singapore Grand Prix....

Liverpool, who were dominant throughout the match, went ahead with a classy Mohamed Salah strike but were pegged back when Dejan Lovren was judged to have pushed Dominic Calvert-Lewin inside the box. TV replays from different angles proved inconclusive on the penalty being given with the most popular voices echoing it to be a “soft” one. A similar but more conclusive incident took place on December 31, 2017, when Arsenal were awarded a penalty in the 89th minute against West Brom....
Atleti made the trip with a 1-0 advantage from last week’s quarter-final first leg in the Spanish capital thanks to Antoine Griezmann’s contentious penalty. Saul Niguez’s first-half header then left Leicester with an even bigger mountain to climb, although Vardy smashed home just after the hour to provide hope of a comeback. Leicester’s fairy tale finally ends Atleti were typically stoic in defence, though, as Leicester pushed in search of the two goals they needed to progress, and Diego Simeone’s men reached the last four with a 2-1 aggregate win....

According to Oceana, Olive sea snakes live in coral reefs in the western Pacific Ocean, spanning from Australia to New Guinea. Sometimes reaching over six feet in length, these “highly venomous” snakes “actively [hunt] small to medium sized fishes and benthic invertebrates, including prawns and crabs.” “Though they only rarely bite people, their bites have been known to be fatal,” noted the organization. The new study, published in Scientific Reports last week, sheds light on the sometimes-strange behavior of these sea snakes....
After featuring in a 2-0 victory over Albania at the weekend, Barzagli asked to not be considered for selection for Tuesday’s friendly with Netherlands due to off-field issues.

The DJ later insisted that the photo was taken in a restaurant much earlier in the evening, with Ventura also saying that Barzagli spoke to him to clear the situation up....

Roberto Martinez’s side struggled to break down their hosts in Piraeus for 70 minutes until Vertonghen thumped home a long-range effort - only to see Zeca equalise in quick time. As brief as their celebrations were cut short, Belgium were joyous again as Romelu Lukaku capped a crazy five-minute period of an otherwise dour game by heading home Thomas Meunier’s cross to book Belgium’s ticket to the tournament. Vertonghen acknowledged that a tense affair could have gone either way, but was determined to toast Belgium’s success....

Kane scored a penalty in the 95th minute to give Spurs a point and score his 100th Premier League goal , having missed from the spot just minutes before. The initial penalty came after Kane went down under the challenge of goalkeeper Loris Karius, but replays appeared to show that contact was minimal. Karius saved the kick.

The Netherlands international became the Reds’ record signing when completing a switch from Southampton at the opening of the winter transfer window.
