New Coach, Overhauled Roster, Sad Boy Messi — What The Hell Is Barça Gonna Do This Season?
BARCELONA — After selling five key players and employing a coach more than happy to take on the established order, Barcelona begin their LaLiga campaign at home to Villarreal on Sunday in unchartered territory.

The USWNT’s Most Deadly Potential Starting XI Right Now
So the 2019-20 season was a mess, we all know that. On top of everything else that had been cancelled or postponed, we added the Tokyo Olympics to that list. Once upon a time, they were set to take off July 24, 2020.
