A common question I’ve heard is, “Who should we root for?” Based on demographics, Mexico will be the de-facto No. 1 team of this nation.
ACK OF REPEATS: Germany is one of the favorites to hoist the trophy next month, but defending a World Cup title hasn’t been easy to accomplish. Not since 1962 when Pele-led Brazil beat Czechoslovakia 3-1 has a country repeated as champions. The only other time it’s been done was Italy in 1934-38.
FIRST-TIMERS: Two countries are making their World Cup debuts – Iceland and Panama. Iceland is coming off a quarterfinal run at the 2016 Euros and captured its group in European qualifying. Panama finished third in CONCACAF qualifying, scoring a late goal against Costa Rica to lock down its spot. The last time the World Cup had multiple first-timers was in 2006 when six countries made their debut (Angola, Ghana, Ivory Coast, Togo, Trinidad and Tobago, Ukraine).
. Italy is missing out on tournament for the first time since 1958 after losing a playoff against Sweden. The Netherlands, which placed third and second in the previous two Cups, is out for the first time since 2002. Another team that surprisingly came up short is Chile, the 2015-16 Copa Americas champions.

Greg Hardy Signs With UFC After Knocking Out Austen Lane to Win Pro MMA Debut
Former NFL defensive end Greg Hardy knocked out Austin Lane to win his pro MMA debut Tuesday and earned a contract with UFC.
Hardy signed a developmental contract, so he can progress at his own pace in UFC.
Lane is also a former NFL player, and the two were at the NFL combine together in 2010.
"I’m ready for the big show," Hardy said after, according to MMAJunkie.com. "I love the opportunity. I train at the best gym in the world, and I have full confidence and faith that those guys are there to get me ready for whatever comes next."
The 29-year-old Hardy knocked out Lane in 57 seconds after dropping him to his knee with a right hand and then following up with a left-hook.

This Guy Served His Friends Tacos Made from His Own Amputated Leg
“One friend had to spit me into a napkin.”
If you could taste human flesh in an ethical way, would you? It’s the kind of question you ask after watching Silence of the Lambs stoned. No matter how you respond, you never expect anyone to hold you to your answer. But in a recent Reddit post, user IncrediblyShinyShart shared the story of a motorcycle crash that put him face-to-face with the macabre hypothetical. When a car hit his bike and sent him careening into a nearby forest, his foot was shattered to the point that he would never walk on it again. When the doctor asked if he wanted to amputate, his one question was, “Can I keep it?”

Stephen A. Smith said he had no problem apologizing because he doesn't want to hurt anyone else, but he didn't think he was doing it in the first place. usat.ly/2sVxK6X

Always, always ass. That’s true,” Smith said on the show. “I know I’m associated with Walt Disney, but everyone knows I’m a bottom feeder.”
ESPN, which directed a request for comment to Smith’s apology, is currently enmeshedin a discrimination and sexual harassment lawsuit filed by a former employee, which is not connected to Smith.

About as strong a defense you’ll ever see from a GM about his player. My 2 cents... I fully agree that the executive who called Bryce a loser can’t evaluate talent. Thirty teams could use a “loser” like that, washingtonpost.com/news/nationals…
