VICE Sports World News Roundup: July 23

Good morning, America. Welcome to the VICE Sports World News Roundup. Be sure to stop by daily for your morning headlines.

It's the 23rd of July, 2015, and Sepp Blatter is still president of FIFA. The U.S. has filed extradition papers with Trinidad and Tobago. Looks like FIFA vice president Jack Warner will be visiting New York in the near future.

Boy oh boy did things get weird in the CONCACAF Gold Cup last night. First, in Atlanta, Jamaica beat the United States of America 2-1. It's the first time a Caribbean nation has beaten the US at home since the Nixon administration.

What happened next, however, is even more difficult to explain. In the other semifinal, between Mexico and Panama, American referee Mike Geiger called one of the most controversial games in recent memory. First Geiger sent off Panamanian attacker Luis Tejada for a high arm. The foul didn't seem to merit a red card. With 10 men, Panama took the lead in the second half only for Geiger to award two penalties to Mexico in the match's dying minutes. Mexico's coach later said he didn't think the first penalty was warranted, and penalty-taker Guardado said he thought about missing it on purpose. Meanwhile, Panama's coach called the defeat "armed robbery."

The Panamanian players later took to Twitter to voice their anger. Here they are calling CONCACAF a bunch of criminals.

The New York Red Bulls beat Chelsea 4-2 in a friendly match. "If we had won 10-0, that wouldn't have been any good," Chelsea's coach Jose Mourinho said after the match. "We needed a test and we received one."

The Chelsea fans responsible for the racially abusing a black man on the Paris metro after the team played PSG in the Champions League last season have received lifetime bans from the London club.

The other day new Real Madrid coach Rafa Benitez said Cristiano Ronaldo maybe wasn't the best player in the entire world. I mean, it's a big place, after all. He's now had a couple of days to think about it and, well, he made a mistake, announcing that he actually does thing Ronaldo is the world's best. Cristiano, Rafa is sorry.

People are apparently upset that Bayern Munich coach Pep Guardiola is running on the Catalan independence ticket in the upcoming elections. He's in last place and will certainly not win any political seat. He clapped back at his critics, arguing he has every right to express his political opinions.

Colombian rider Nairo Quintana, who is in second place, has been going at Tour de France leader Chris Froome. But he's still more than three minutes ahead of Quintana. Froome expects more attacks in today's mountainous stage 18 course.

The decathlon started yesterday in the Pan Am Games. Canada's Damian Warner is in first place going into today's final round. In Baseball, the American women dispatched Cuba 11-0. And in men's basketball group play the US squeaked past Puerto Rico by a score of 102 to 70.
