Good morning, America. It's May 19, 2016. Welcome to the VICE Sports World News Roundup. Be sure to stop by every morning for more headlines from around the world.

The Europa League Final between Sevilla and Liverpool took place in Basel last night. Liverpool dominated the first half, which ended 1-0 for the Reds. Sevilla came out and scored in the very first attack of the second half, and Liverpool imploded over the next 45 minutes. The match ended 3-1 for Sevilla, a team that has, incredibly, won the tournament three seasons in a row.

In six cup finals, Jurgen Klopp has won just once.

Former USMNT coach Bob Bradley thinks he's as good a manager as Guardiola and Klopp et al.

Blissfully incompetent defender Martin Demichelis—the only reason I watch Manchester City matches—also likes a good bet. The English FA reportedly fined him £22,058 for "29 bets placed on football matches" earlier this season.
