For the sake of absolutely everyone in the professional game, let it be so. The man is a long running joke. Decent footballer. Horrific human being.

This really affects the 2017-18 Premier League but...
NBC is launching a paid subscription streaming service for Premier League matches. The free with authentication overflow matches on Live Extra platform and overflow channels available to certain cable companies will be eliminated. It will affect approximately 130 games. They'll still broadcast at least 1 game in each window and committed to broadcasting 2 matches most Saturdays 3 pm UK time windows on "linear" channels (NBC, NBCSN, CNBC, etc.) But if there are 5 matches in the 3 pm window, you're going to have to pay if you want to watch one of the 3 that aren't on a linear channel.
The subscription will cost $49.99 for the season.

Germany won the Confed Cup 1-0 over Chile in a game the reds dominated but couldn't cash in. They played it loose in the back a couple of times and paid the ultimate price on one particularly awful turnover. Germany got away with bringing a mostly young group too. That bodes badly for everybody else over the next two World Cup cycles. Germany is loaded on top of loaded. This next World Cup is probably a last hurrah for Chile's golden generation. Boy, they are fun to watch.
Don't discount France over the same time period. Mbappe, Dembele, and Lemar are scary talented and also very young. Against England Mbappe looked ready to score every time he touched the ball.
