The dust is settling following the 2022 World Cup draw, which has provided a number of subplots and talking points aplenty to discuss between now and the opening set of games on November 21.
France, placed in a group that contains Denmark, Tunisia and one of Peru or Australia, will look to avoid becoming the fifth defending champions in the past six tournaments to exit at the first hurdle.
Spain and Germany, the winners of two of the past three World Cups, face off in arguably the pick of the group games in what will be their fifth meeting in the competition and the first since La Roja s 2010 semi-final triumph.

Germany head into their Euro 2012 semi-final against Italy this evening as heavy favourites.
The current Germany team is regarded as one of the best that they have produced in along time and contains some of the brightest players in Europe.
Young
I recently read that the average age of the Germany squad is 24.4 years of age, and it would have been even lower had striker Miroslav Klose not been part of the squad. Germany haven’t just got a few young talents players they have a generation.
The likes of Sami Khedira, Mesut Ozil and Thomas Muller have became household names in the last few years, as this exciting young German side have matured into a superb team unit.

There has been plenty to talk about, controversies which took the central stage even before the games began, plenty of excellent performances and sublime games, and moments that have ensured this particular World Cup has its place in the history of this sport forever.
Qatar
The fact that Qatar was the country selected as to host this tournament was obviously the reason why it had to take place at the start of winter in the northern hemisphere the temperatures which occur there in the summer simply wouldn t do for it. And while that in itself posed a serious challenge for the teams and …
Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp insists they are in the Europa League to win it and they arrive in Linz “to compete, not to give opportunities”.
On Thursday the Reds take on LASK as they return to a competition in which their last appearance was the 2016 final defeat to Sevilla in the German’s first season at the club.
Since then Liverpool have won the Champions League and reached two other finals and lifted the Premier League, the Club World Cup, the FA Cup and Carabao Cup.
As it stands the Europa League is the only major trophy Klopp has not won in his near-eight years at Anfield and he wants to add that missing silverware to his honour role.
That means fans who were hoping to see exciting fringe talents like youngster Ben Doak, Harvey Elliott and …
The Los Angeles Rams will return from a mini bye week, after defeating the Seahawks on TNF in Week 5, with a trip to the Meadowlands to take on the New York Giants.

While it can be easy to pinpoint a few serious contenders for the Super Bowl, as well as a few serious disasters for the top pick in the NFL Draft, the league typically features a decent amount of turnover from year to year.
Last year, for example, we saw the defending Super Bowl champion L.A. Rams plummet from 12 to five wins, while the rebuild was ahead of schedule in both Jacksonville and Detroit, with the Jags and Lions each getting to nine wins after just three the season before.

Cowboys vs Eagles Odds, Picks, and Predictions Week 9: America's Team Has No Answers for Hurts & Co.
Sunday’s showdown between the Dallas Cowboys and Philadelphia Eagles has been two seasons in the making.
These NFC East rivals played their two scheduled outings last year, but both were forced to start a backup QB in one of those two games and it took a little shine off this classic grudge match.
The NFL Week 9 odds reflect healthy QBs for these high-powered offenses with Dak Prescott and Jalen Hurts headlining one of the most anticipated games of 2023. As it stands, Philadelphia is a 3-point home favorite across the market heading toward the weekend according to NFL odds.
I dig into the spread and Over/Under total for this huge game and give my best NFL picks for the Cowboys vs. Eagles on November 5.

Wide. Right.
Those were the only two words Buffalo Bills fans did not want to hear as Tyler Bass lined up a game-tying kick in the final moments of the AFC Divisional Round vs. the Kansas City Chiefs. The miss not only brought back haunting memories of the early 90’s, but it also signaled three straight Divisional Round exits by the Bills.
After Bass, Josh Allen has come under fire for not doing more to help the team win despite finishing with 72 rushing yards, two rushing touchdowns, and a passing touchdown.
Allen is in line for a massive pay bump this year which sees his salary more than double:
Josh Allen cap hit by season:2019 — $4.8M (lost Wild Card)2020 — $5.9M (lost Conf Champ)2021 — $10.2M (lost D…
