Rúben Dias is confident Manchester City’s 2-0 defeat at Paris Saint-Germain will have zero impact on the Premier League champions’ trip to Liverpool on Sunday, the third of three challenging away matches.
City beat Chelsea 1-0 in the first, Saturday’s league game, before going down to strikes from Idrissa Gueye and Lionel Messi in Tuesday’s second Champions League Group A match at Parc des Princes. The loss leaves Pep Guardiola’s side third, a point behind PSG and Club Brugge, but Dias is not concerned it will affect confidence when playing the Premier League leaders at Anfield.

Read all the previews so far here. Your team: 28-3. Your 2016 record: 28-3. You had one job, Falcons. ONE FUCKING JOB. Hoo boy, was I feeling myself early in that game. I got EXTREMELY drunk and began celebrating prematurely with the rest of this site’s staff, minus the couple of repugnant Pats fans currently in our employ (Billy, Samer, Cooke, Mephistopheles). Look at us rejoicing before the darkness prevailed upon the land. Of course, we all should have known better. As joy slowly turned to horror over the course of that second half, I was alone in drunkenly holding onto the outlandish belief that…
It's that time again. Facebook has released their NFL fandom map, showing which NFL team gets the most Facebook "likes" in each county. For the full-resolution map, It's fun to compare this one to to the map Facebook released in January of 2013. What's changed since then? The 49ers have reconquered territory in both California and Oregon that previously belonged to the Raiders, and reclaimed Hawaii from the Steelers. The massive Broncos amoeba is extending its reach in surrounding states Idaho, Montana, South Dakota, Nebraska, and even down into New Mexico. Alaska is now fully aboard that Seahawks train. The Jets lost Nassau County, their single stronghold, to the Giants. Washington is gradually taking southern Virginia from the Cowboys. The Lions have …
