HUDDERSFIELD, England (AP) — Three goals, three points and the pressure firmly kept on Liverpool in the title race.

"This game can teach us and show what we have to do to improve," said Guardiola, ever the perfectionist.

SOCHI, Russia (AP) — Brazil is going out of its way to defend its World Cup preparations and show its players' injuries can't be blamed on excessive training.

ROME (AP) — With a combined age of 99, Italy's once vaunted "BBC" defensive trio is showing its years.
The Azzurri will still rely on Andrea Barzagli, Leonardo Bonucci and Giorgio Chiellini in a World Cup playoff against Sweden next month but the signs in Serie A lately have not been encouraging.
Bonucci's red card with AC Milan over the weekend was the latest poor performance after his high-profile transfer from Juventus made him the highest-paid player in Italy.
