Most of the world is suffering from soccer withdrawal symptoms with the World Cup having gone away for another four years. Africa s first Soccer World Cup had plenty of good and bad moments. Here are ten of the worst- the ones you wouldn t want to see a repeat of at the next edition in Brazil.
10.) Sani Kaita (Nigeria against Greece)
Nigeria were comfortably in control of their second Group B game against Greece before Kaita s moment of madness turned the game on its head. The Alania Vladikavkaz midfielder aimed a kung fu kick at Vasilis Torosidis on the sidelines and was given his marching orders, thus reducing Nigeria to ten men. The Greeks made full use of their one man advantage and managed to beat the Super Eagles 2-1.
Would Nigeria s World Cup have been di…
Bukayo Saka can thrive during England s World Cup campaign after handling the fallout from his penalty miss in the Euro 2020 final impeccably , according to Aaron Ramsdale.
Saka s spot-kick was saved by Gianluigi Donnarumma after England s tense draw with Italy last July, ensuring the Three Lions lost on their first major final appearance since the 1966 World Cup.
The winger then endured further disappointment on the domestic stage as Arsenal failed to secure a top-four finish last term, but he has bounced back in fine fashion this season.
With Arsenal flying high at the top of the Premier League table, only five players have bettered Saka s tally of 10 goal contributions in the competition this campaign (four goals, six assists), and his Gunners team-mate Ramsda…
The Las Vegas Raiders, one of the biggest surprises of the 2021 season, take a 2-0 record into a Week 3 clash at home against the Miami Dolphins.
The Raiders have wins over Baltimore and Pittsburgh, putting up almost 800 total yards passing against two of the top defenses in the league. Enter the Dolphins, who are not only licking their wounds after a 35-0 shutout loss versus Buffalo in Week 2 but will play without QB Tua Tagovailoa. That has Miami getting 4.5 points on the road in Sin City.
Here are our free NFL picks and predictions for Dolphins at Raiders on September 26.

Monday night features America’s Team facing off against the GOAT with a spot in the Divisional Round on the line.
For the Dallas Cowboys, a one-and-done playoff run is unthinkable (and perhaps even the end of the Mike McCarthy era). Still, there’s something in the air with the aura of Tom Brady and this Tampa Bay Buccaneers team, who are lurking dangerously despite a turbulent year.
Whether you’re wagering on the Cowboys to show up and take care of business on the road or on another chapter in Brady’s playoff legacy, there’s a stack of tasty prop bets to weigh up for what feels like a tight, one-score game.
Here are my favorite NFL prop picks for Cowboys vs. Buccaneers on January 16.

There’s nothing like a little vacation to put the wind back in your sails. Just ask the Jacksonville Jaguars, who won back-to-back games in London before manhandling the Indianapolis Colts on American soil last week. The Jags will look to extend their winning streak tonight when they take on the bumbling New Orleans Saints at Caesars Superdome. Nola has lost three of its last four games and has been an abject disaster in the red-zone, where the Saints rank a distant 28th in touchdown scoring percentage.
While there are a number of different subscription-based TV channels and streaming services available to watch this game… did you know that you can also live stream Jaguars vs. Saints directly from legal sports betting sites?

There’s good news and bad news for both the Denver Broncos and Las Vegas Raiders ahead of their Week 18 meeting at Allegiant Stadium on Sunday. The good news is that whoever wins comes second in the division, but the bad news is that neither will make the playoffs.
Despite the Raiders never having lost to Denver since moving to Vegas, this is a game between two run-heavy teams with poor quarterbacks and there is no reason not to get on this Under early before it moves anymore in the NFL odds.
I break down the Week 17 NFL odds and offer my free NFL picks for Broncos vs. Raiders on January 7.
