When it comes to Premier League records, the focus is always on the best of the best. Whether it be Manchester City's quest for 100 points or Arsenal's Invincibles season, people love the pursuit of perfection.
But at the other end of the table is a whole other set of records waiting to be broken, ranging from discouraging to downright embarrassing.
The Super Eagles of Nigeria are now favorites at the Africa Cup of Nations after defeating Guinea-Bissau 2-0 on Wednesday to become the only team to make it through the group stage in Cameroon with a perfect record.
The form of Leicester City striker Kelechi Iheanacho has sent a message across Africa — he scored the match-winner against Egypt and provided a beautiful assist on Wednesday's opening goal — but the player to watch has been Nantes winger Moses Simon.
Santiago Muñoz finalmente dio señales de vida.
El jugador mexicano que busca la gloria en el Newcastle United, tal como el ficticio Santiago Muñez de la película Goal!, salió de las penumbras e hizo una rara aparición en el entrenamiento del primer equipo de Las Urracas.

UEFA Futsal Euro 2020 began Wednesday in Amsterdam with Portugal — the defending European and world champion — beating Serbia 4-2 after trailing 2-0 to show that reports of its death have been greatly exaggerated.
The comparisons between Leo Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo are a never-ending story. And everything they do could be considered a valid category for a head-to-head between them.

The 34-year-old Messi was omitted from Argentina’s 27-man squad after not playing for PSG since Dec. 22 against FC Lorient in French Ligue 1.
A Premier League transfer caught my eye over the weekend, not because of the notoriety of the player, but actually for the exact opposite reason. Chelsea midfielder Lewis Baker joined Stoke City on a permanent deal following 17 years with the Blues.
Not familiar with the name? Don't feel too bad. Baker made just two first-team appearances during his time in London — FA Cup cameos during the 13-14 and 21-22 seasons. Instead, the 26-year-old had eight loan spells in four countries after being promoted to the Chelsea senior squad in 2014.
Sebastián Córdova llegó como el gran refuerzo de Tigres para la temporada 2022, pero apenas en su segundo partido empieza a probar que la paciencia de los aficionados felinos con él será corta.
La performance del volante en la derrota 0-2 ante Puebla fue bastante discreta y cuando salió reemplazado en el segundo tiempo recibió un notorio abucheo desde las tribunas del estadio El Volcán.
El futuro de Carlos Salcedo en Liga MX es más incierto que nunca. Los rumores de que el Titán dejará Tigres han venido rondando hace un par de meses y ahora hierven con versiones que lo colocan en el Toronto FC de la MLS.
Ocurra o no el traspaso, el mismo jugador hoy alimentó el ciclo con un tuit en el que aparece una foto de la radio de su auto, tocando la canción "Jugador Franquicia" de Myke Towers.
