VICE Sports World News Roundup: January 8, 2016

Good morning, America. It's February 8, 2016. Welcome to the VICE Sports World News Roundup. Be sure to stop every morning for more headlines from around the world.

Well, we all know the Super Bowl was yesterday (or, if you didn't, know that both quarterbacks sucked but Denver managed to win 34-10 anyway).

It was a big weekend for other sports, too. Rugby's Six Nations tournament kicked off Saturday. All three of the weekend's games were quite close.

Some big matches in the soccer world: Chelsea and Manchester United tied, 1-1. The match was overshadowed by what looks like a serious knee injury to Kurt Zouma, which you can watch below if you so choose.
