data-mm-id=”_0l0h0g1ol”>Texas Tech and TCU are facing off in a Thursday night college football game not many people cared about. That is, until a positively massive possum made its way onto the field at the end of the first quarter. This thing was massive and furry and, dare I say, cute? It kind of was, until a staff member began to drag it off the field and it brought the demon out of the large rodent.

A few minutes later they showed him again:pic.twitter.com/bGxPkUVj2R— yo (@notTomWambsgans) November 2, 2023Come on, let the possum stay! It just wanted to watch some low-level Big 12 football! Maybe he was just attempting to try out, he certainly couldn't hurt either team. Just want to clarify, we're assuming this is a male because of its heft, but we're not wildlife experts, it could just be a large female.

Jurgen Klopp hailed Liverpool s reaction to the concession of an early goal after they came from behind to beat Manchester United 4-2 at Old Trafford.
The Reds looked set for another disappointing visit to the home of their bitter rivals when Bruno Fernandes opened the scoring after just 10 minutes on Thursday evening.
But goals from Diogo Jota and Mohamed Salah either side of a Roberto Firmino brace rendered a further Marcus Rashford effort irrelevant and handed Liverpool their first Old Trafford win since 2014.
And it was the mental strength shown in the aftermath of the early setback that most pleased Klopp.
He told Sky Sports: We reacted really well on their goal, it was unlucky in that moment but it was a bit like we started the game to be honest. <…
Lionel Messi not winning the World Cup with Argentina would be unfair, according to goalkeeper Oscar Ustari.
Messi has won everything on offer during his time as a Barcelona player – the Champions League, LaLiga, UEFA Super Cup, Club World Cup, Copa del Rey and Supercopa de Espana.
However, the six-time Ballon d Or winner is yet to taste senior success in an Argentina jersey following a runners-up finish at the 2014 World Cup, having also reached back-to-back Copa America finals in 2015 and 2016.
A two-time Argentina international, Pachuca goalkeeper Ustari warned against doubting captain Messi – the country s all-time leading goalscorer.

Three games, three losses. Real Madrid s season was ended in a week.
As if a pair of Clasico defeats to Barcelona were not enough, the LaLiga giants crashed out of the Champions League to Ajax on Tuesday.
After a win over Levante on February 24, Madrid could not have imagined a week as bad as this.
The Santiago Bernabeu has seen four consecutive Madrid losses for just the third time ever and first since May 2004, and Santiago Solari s position as head coach is surely hanging by a thread.
It was a week that could not have gone any worse.

Switzerland s remarkable run to the quarter-finals of Euro 2020 has captivated fans at the grounds and at home.
Still, there is only one member of Vladimir Petkovic s squad who consistently has his own song belted out in stands and living rooms.
Striker Breel Embolo epitomises the golden generation of Swiss players to have emerged in the last decade: talented, spirited, and with a story to tell. He is captivating as a player and person, so much so that his name is sung with gusto at every international match to the tune of The Lion Sleeps Tonight. Oh Embolo, oh Embolo
There s no denying his popularity, but where Embolo has so far fallen short is in matching early expectations. He made his Basel debut in March 2014 and scored minutes after coming on as a substit…
Benfica have parted company with head coach Jorge Jesus by mutual consent.
The decision follows a 3-0 defeat against rivals Porto in the Taca de Portugal round of 16, with a league clash against the same opponents coming up on Thursday.
Jesus rejoined Benfica in August 2020 but could only guide them to a third-place finish in his first season, with the club failing to secure any silverware for the first time since the 2012-13 campaign.
The team s performance in Europe was particularly disappointing, crashing out of the Champions League in qualifying and then going out of the Europa League in the round of 32.
Jesus leaves with Benfica third once more after 15 games of this season, having won 12, drawn one and lost two to sit four points behind leaders Por…
Antoine Griezmann looks set to be at the heart of 2019 s major transfer saga, having announced his intention to leave Atletico Madrid.
Griezmann has been Atletico s leading light since he joined from Real Sociedad five years ago, but he confirmed on Tuesday he will leave the Wanda Metropolitano at the end of the season, with Barcelona reportedly his preferred destination.
Atletico can reflect on a period of success for the club with Griezmann playing a key role, the France forward firing them to Europa League glory last year before winning the World Cup with his country.
Replacing Griezmann will prove a major challenge for Diego Simeone as the striker has scored 133 of their 463 goals in all competitions since 2014-15, 28.7 per cent of the club s total.
Xavi has once again expressed his desire to coach Barcelona as the former midfielder revealed returning to his former club is his goal and dream .
Barca great Xavi has managed Qatari side Al-Sadd since retiring in 2019 – leading them to five domestic cups and a league title – but has regularly admitted that he wants the top job with the Catalan giants.

Barca currently sit seventh in LaLiga and suffered back-to-back Champions League group stage defeats for the first time since 2000-01, leading Xavi to once again be linked to Koeman s job.

Serbia head coach Dragan Stojkovic insisted there is no limit to what the country can achieve after they qualified for the 2022 World Cup in dramatic fashion.
Aleksandar Mitrovic scored in the 90th minute to break Portugal s hearts as Serbia reached next year s showpiece tournament in Qatar thanks to a last-gasp 2-1 victory in Group A on Sunday.

Prominent opponents of the Glazer family s ownership of Manchester United have issued a list of reform demands after the club s part in the ill-fated European Super League.

Gareth Southgate would love Kalvin Phillips to fight his way into England’s Euro 2024 squad but felt he had to drop the out-of-sorts midfielder this month as he was not confident about his performance levels.
The 28-year-old has established himself as a key figure in the national team set-up since winning the first of his 31 caps away to Denmark in September 2020.
Phillips was named England men’s player of the year for 2020-21 after shining in the run to the European Championship final, but pressure has mounted on his position since leaving Leeds for Manchester City in 2022.
The midfielder barely made an impact under Pep Guardiola and joined West Ham on loan in January, but a disastrous start there led to his omission from Southgate’s final squad before nam…
